The need for anonymization of individual survey responses often leads to many suppressed grid cells in a regular grid. Here we provide functionality for creating multi-resolution gridded data, respecting the confidentiality rules, such as a minimum number of units and dominance by one or more units for each grid cell. The functions also include the possibility for contextual suppression of data. For more details see Skoien et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.17601>.

Calculate a multivariate functional principal component analysis for data observed on different dimensional domains. The estimation algorithm relies on univariate basis expansions for each element of the multivariate functional data (Happ & Greven, 2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1273115>. Multivariate and univariate functional data objects are represented by S4 classes for this type of data implemented in the package funData'.

This package provides a leadership-inference framework for multivariate time series. The framework for multiple-faction-leadership inference from coordinated activities or mFLICA uses a notion of a leader as an individual who initiates collective patterns that everyone in a group follows. Given a set of time series of individual activities, our goal is to identify periods of coordinated activity, find factions of coordination if more than one exist, as well as identify leaders of each faction. For each time step, the framework infers following relations between individual time series, then identifying a leader of each faction whom many individuals follow but it follows no one. A faction is defined as a group of individuals that everyone follows the same leader. mFLICA reports following relations, leaders of factions, and members of each faction for each time step.

Developed to study menstrual cycle hormones but functions have been generalized and should be applicable to any biomarker over any time period.

The modified Adult Treatment Panel -III guidelines (ATP-III) proposed by American Heart Association (AHA) and National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) are used widely for the clinical diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome. The AHA-NHLBI criteria advise using parameters such as waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Each parameter has to be interpreted based on the proposed cut-offs, making the diagnosis slightly complex and error-prone. This package is developed by incorporating the modified ATP-III guidelines, and it will aid in the easy and quick diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in busy healthcare settings and also for research purposes. The modified ATP-III-AHA-NHLBI criteria for the diagnosis is described by Grundy et al ., (2005) <doi:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.105.169404>.

Run multiple Large Language Model predictions against a table. The predictions run row-wise over a specified column. It works using a one-shot prompt, along with the current row's content. The prompt that is used will depend of the type of analysis needed.
