This package provides a two-step Bayesian approach for mode inference following Cross, Hoogerheide, Labonne and van Dijk (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.econlet.2024.111579>). First, a mixture distribution is fitted on the data using a sparse finite mixture (SFM) Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. The number of mixture components does not have to be known; the size of the mixture is estimated endogenously through the SFM approach. Second, the modes of the estimated mixture at each MCMC draw are retrieved using algorithms specifically tailored for mode detection. These estimates are then used to construct posterior probabilities for the number of modes, their locations and uncertainties, providing a powerful tool for mode inference.

This package provides the facility to calculate the Brainerd-Robinson similarity coefficient for the rows of an input table, and to calculate the significance of each coefficient based on a permutation approach; a heatmap is produced to visually represent the similarity matrix. Optionally, hierarchical agglomerative clustering can be performed and the silhouette method is used to identify an optimal number of clusters; the results of the clustering can be optionally used to sort the heatmap.

Posterior sampling and inference for Bayesian Poisson regression models. The model specification makes use of Gaussian (or conditionally Gaussian) prior distributions on the regression coefficients. Details on the algorithm are found in D'Angelo and Canale (2023) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2123337>.

Record algorithmic and analytic meta data along a workflow to store that in a bitfield, which can be published alongside any (modelled) data products.

Due to a limited availability of observed high-resolution precipitation records with adequate length, simulations with stochastic precipitation models are used to generate series for subsequent studies [e.g. Khaliq and Cunmae, 1996, <doi:10.1016/0022-1694(95)02894-3>, Vandenberghe et al., 2011, <doi:10.1029/2009WR008388>]. This package contains an R implementation of the original Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulse model (BLRPM), developed by Rodriguez-Iturbe et al. (1987) <doi:10.1098/rspa.1987.0039>. It contains a function for simulating a precipitation time series based on storms and cells generated by the model with given or estimated model parameters. Additionally BLRPM parameters can be estimated from a given or simulated precipitation time series. The model simulations can be plotted in a three-layer plot including an overview of generated storms and cells by the model (which can also be plotted individually), a continuous step-function and a discrete precipitation time series at a chosen aggregation level.

The goal of BayesPower is to provide tools for Bayesian sample size determination and power analysis across a range of common hypothesis testing scenarios using Bayes factors. The main function, BayesPower_BayesFactor(), launches an interactive shiny application for performing these analyses. The application also provides command-line code for reproducibility. Details of the methods are described in the tutorial by Wong, Pawel, and Tendeiro (2025) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/pgdac_v2>.

Bayesian analysis for exponential random graph models using advanced computational algorithms. More information can be found at: <https://acaimo.github.io/Bergm/>.

An interface to the Briq API <https://briq.github.io>. Briq is a tool that aims to promote employee engagement by helping employees recognize and reward each other. Employees can praise and thank one another (for achieving a company goal, for example) by giving virtual credits (known as briqs or bqs') that can be redeemed for various rewards. The Briq API lets you create, read, update and delete users, user groups, transactions and messages. This package provides functions that simplify getting the users, user groups and transactions of your organization into R.

Bayesian survival model using Weibull regression on both scale and shape parameters. Dependence of shape parameter on covariates permits deviation from proportional-hazard assumption, leading to dynamic - i.e. non-constant with time - hazard ratios between subjects. Bayesian Lasso shrinkage in the form of two Laplace priors - one for scale and one for shape coefficients - allows for many covariates to be included. Cross-validation helper functions can be used to tune the shrinkage parameters. Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) sampling using a Gibbs wrapper around Radford Neal's univariate slice sampler (R package MfUSampler) is used for coefficient estimation.

This package implements the Bayesian Clustering Factor Models (BCFM) for simultaneous clustering and latent factor analysis of multivariate longitudinal data. The model accounts for within-cluster dependence through shared latent factors while allowing heterogeneity across clusters, enabling flexible covariance modeling in high-dimensional settings. Inference is performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods with computationally intensive steps implemented via Rcpp'. Model selection and visualization tools are provided. The methodology is described in Shin, Ferreira, and Tegge (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.70350>.

This package implements a backward procedure for single and multiple change point detection proposed by Shin et al. <arXiv:1812.10107>. The backward approach is particularly useful to detect short and sparse signals which is common in copy number variation (CNV) detection.

Fit and simulate bivariate correlated frailty models with proportional hazard structure. Frailty distributions, such as gamma and lognormal models are supported semiparametric procedures. Frailty variances of the two subjects can be varied or equal. Details on the models are available in book of Wienke (2011,ISBN:978-1-4200-7388-1). Bivariate gamma fit is obtained using the approach given in Kifle et al (2023) <DOI: 10.4310/22-SII738> with modifications. Lognormal fit is based on the approach by Ripatti and Palmgren (2000) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2000.01016.x>. Frailty distributions, such as gamma, inverse gaussian and power variance frailty models are supported for parametric approach.

This package provides methods for mediation analysis with missing data and non-normal data are implemented. For missing data, four methods are available: Listwise deletion, Pairwise deletion, Multiple imputation, and Two Stage Maximum Likelihood algorithm. For MI and TS-ML, auxiliary variables can be included to handle missing data. For handling non-normal data, bootstrap and two-stage robust methods can be used. Technical details of the methods can be found in Zhang and Wang (2013, <doi:10.1007/s11336-012-9301-5>), Zhang (2014, <doi:10.3758/s13428-013-0424-0>), and Yuan and Zhang (2012, <doi:10.1007/s11336-012-9282-4>).

Following Arroyo-Maté-Roque (2006), the function calculates the distance between rows or columns of the dataset using the generalized Minkowski metric as described by Ichino-Yaguchi (1994). The distance measure gives more weight to differences between quartiles than to differences between extremes, making it less sensitive to outliers. Further,the function calculates the silhouette width (Rousseeuw 1987) for different numbers of clusters and selects the number of clusters that maximizes the average silhouette width, unless a specific number of clusters is provided by the user. The approach implemented in this package is based on the following publications: Rousseeuw (1987) <doi:10.1016/0377-0427(87)90125-7>; Ichino-Yaguchi (1994) <doi:10.1109/21.286391>; Arroyo-Maté-Roque (2006) <doi:10.1007/3-540-34416-0_7>.

Multicenter randomized trials involve the collection and analysis of data from numerous study participants across multiple sites. Outliers may be present. To identify outliers, this package examines data at the individual level (univariate and multivariate) and site-level (with and without covariate adjustment). Methods are outlined in further detail in Rigdon et al (to appear).
