Model based clustering using the multivariate multiple Scaled t (MST) and multivariate multiple scaled contaminated normal (MSCN) distributions. The MST is an extension of the multivariate Student-t distribution to include flexible tail behaviors, Forbes, F. & Wraith, D. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11222-013-9414-4>. The MSCN represents a heavy-tailed generalization of the multivariate normal (MN) distribution to model elliptical contoured scatters in the presence of mild outliers (also referred to as "bad" points) and automatically detect bad points, Punzo, A. & Tortora, C. (2021) <doi:10.1177/1471082X19890935>.

Implementation of a next-generation, multi-stock age-structured fisheries assessment model. multiSA is intended for use in mixed fisheries where stock composition can not be readily identified in fishery data alone, e.g., from catch and age/length composition. Models can be fitted to genetic data, e.g., stock composition of catches and close-kin pairs, with seasonal stock availability and movement.

Dimension-reduction methods aim at defining a score that maximizes signal diversity. Three approaches, tree weight, maximum entropy weights, and maximum variance weights are provided. These methods are described in He and Fong (2019) <DOI:10.1002/sim.8212>.

This package provides a guidance system for analysis with missing data. It incorporates expert, up-to-date methodology to help researchers choose the most appropriate analysis approach when some data are missing. You provide the available data and the assumed causal structure, including the likely causes of missing data. midoc will advise which analysis approaches can be used, and how best to perform them. midoc follows the framework for the treatment and reporting of missing data in observational studies (TARMOS).

Calculate the maximal fat oxidation, the exercise intensity that elicits the maximal fat oxidation and the SIN model to represent the fat oxidation kinetics. Three variables can be obtained from the SIN model: dilatation, symmetry and translation. Examples of these methods can be found in Montes de Oca et al (2021) <doi:10.1080/17461391.2020.1788650> and Chenevière et al. (2009) <doi:10.1249/MSS.0b013e31819e2f91>.

This package provides functions to prepare time priors for MCMCtree analyses in the PAML software from Yang (2007)<doi:10.1093/molbev/msm088> and plot time-scaled phylogenies from any Bayesian divergence time analysis. Most time-calibrated node prior distributions require user-specified parameters. The package provides functions to refine these parameters, so that the resulting prior distributions accurately reflect confidence in known, usually fossil, time information. These functions also enable users to visualise distributions and write MCMCtree ready input files. Additionally, the package supplies flexible functions to visualise age uncertainty on a plotted tree with using node bars, using branch widths proportional to the age uncertainty, or by plotting the full posterior distributions on nodes. Time-scaled phylogenetic plots can be visualised with absolute and geological timescales . All plotting functions are applicable with output from any Bayesian software, not just MCMCtree'.

Computes densities, probabilities, and random deviates of the Matrix Normal (Pocuca et al. (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1910.02859>). Also includes simple but useful matrix functions. See the vignette for more information.

To determine the number of quantitative assays needed for a sample of data using pooled testing methods, which include mini-pooling (MP), MP with algorithm (MPA), and marker-assisted MPA (mMPA). To estimate the number of assays needed, the package also provides a tool to conduct Monte Carlo (MC) to simulate different orders in which the sample would be collected to form pools. Using MC avoids the dependence of the estimated number of assays on any specific ordering of the samples to form pools.

To perform main effect matrix factor model (MEFM) estimation for a given matrix time series as described in Lam and Cen (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.00128>.

This package provides functions to collapse a tidy data frame into matrices in a data frame and expand a data frame of matrices into a tidy data frame.

This package provides tools for econometric analysis and economic modelling with the traditional two-input Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function and with nested CES functions with three and four inputs. The econometric estimation can be done by the Kmenta approximation, or non-linear least-squares using various gradient-based or global optimisation algorithms. Some of these algorithms can constrain the parameters to certain ranges, e.g. economically meaningful values. Furthermore, the non-linear least-squares estimation can be combined with a grid-search for the rho-parameter(s). The estimation methods are described in Henningsen et al. (2021) <doi:10.4337/9781788976480.00030>.

This package provides graph-constrained regression methods in which regularization parameters are selected automatically via estimation of equivalent Linear Mixed Model formulation. riPEER (ridgified Partially Empirical Eigenvectors for Regression) method employs a penalty term being a linear combination of graph-originated and ridge-originated penalty terms, whose two regularization parameters are ML estimators from corresponding Linear Mixed Model solution; a graph-originated penalty term allows imposing similarity between coefficients based on graph information given whereas additional ridge-originated penalty term facilitates parameters estimation: it reduces computational issues arising from singularity in a graph-originated penalty matrix and yields plausible results in situations when graph information is not informative. riPEERc (ridgified Partially Empirical Eigenvectors for Regression with constant) method utilizes addition of a diagonal matrix multiplied by a predefined (small) scalar to handle the non-invertibility of a graph Laplacian matrix. vrPEER (variable reducted PEER) method performs variable-reduction procedure to handle the non-invertibility of a graph Laplacian matrix.

It's a Modern K-Means clustering algorithm which works for data of any number of dimensions, has no limit with the number of clusters expected, offers both methods with and without initial cluster centers, and can start with any initial cluster centers for the method with initial cluster centers.

Generalized Egger tests for detecting publication bias in meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy test (Noma (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13343>, Noma (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.07270>). These publication bias tests are generally more powerful compared with the conventional univariate publication bias tests and can incorporate correlation information between the outcome variables.

Transferring over a code base from Matlab to R is often a repetitive and inefficient use of time. This package provides a translator for Matlab / Octave code into R code. It does some syntax changes, but most of the heavy lifting is in the function changes since the languages are so similar. Options for different data structures and the functions that can be changed are given. The Matlab code should be mostly in adherence to the standard style guide but some effort has been made to accommodate different number of spaces and other small syntax issues. This will not make the code more R friendly and may not even run afterwards. However, the rudimentary syntax, base function and data structure conversion is done quickly so that the maintainer can focus on changes to the design structure.

Rudimentary functions for sampling and calculating density from the matrix-variate variance-gamma distribution.

Interaction between a genetic variant (e.g., a single nucleotide polymorphism) and an environmental variable (e.g., physical activity) can have a shared effect on multiple phenotypes (e.g., blood lipids). We implement a two-step method to test for an overall interaction effect on multiple phenotypes. In first step, the method tests for an overall marginal genetic association between the genetic variant and the multivariate phenotype. The genetic variants which show an evidence of marginal overall genetic effect in the first step are prioritized while testing for an overall gene-environment interaction effect in the second step. Methodology is available from: A Majumdar, KS Burch, S Sankararaman, B Pasaniuc, WJ Gauderman, JS Witte (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.07.06.190256>.
