This package provides a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm based on the echolocation behavior of microbats that uses frequency tuning to optimize problems in both continuous and discrete dimensions. This R package makes it easy to implement the standard bat algorithm on any user-supplied function. The algorithm was first developed by Xin-She Yang in 2010 (<DOI:10.1007/978-3-642-12538-6_6>, <DOI:10.1109/CINTI.2014.7028669>).

This package implements structural estimators to estimate preferences and correct for the sample selection bias of observed outcomes in matching markets. This includes one-sided matching of agents into groups (Klein, 2015) <doi:10.17863/CAM.5812> as well as two-sided matching of students to schools (Klein et al., 2024) <doi:10.1016/j.geb.2024.07.003>. The package also contains algorithms to find stable matchings in the three most common matching problems: the stable roommates problem (Irving, 1985) <doi:10.1016/0196-6774(85)90033-1>, the college admissions problem (Gale and Shapley, 1962) <doi:10.2307/2312726>, and the house allocation problem (Shapley and Scarf, 1974) <doi:10.1016/0304-4068(74)90033-0>.

Inspired by pattern matching and enum types in Rust and many functional programming languages, this package offers an updated version of the switch function called Match that accepts atomic values, functions, expressions, and enum variants. Conditions and return expressions are separated by -> and multiple conditions can be associated with the same return expression using |'. Match also includes support for fallthrough'. The package also replicates the Result and Option enums from Rust.

Tests for block-diagonal structure in symmetric matrices (e.g. correlation matrices) under the null hypothesis of exchangeable off-diagonal elements. As described in Segal et al. (2019), these tests can be useful for construct validation either by themselves or as a complement to confirmatory factor analysis. Monte Carlo methods are used to approximate the permutation p-value with Hubert's Gamma (Hubert, 1976) and a t-statistic. This package also implements the chi-squared statistic described by Steiger (1980). Please see Segal, et al. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11336-018-9647-4> for more information.

This package performs genetic association tests between SNPs (one-at-a-time) and multiple phenotypes (separately or in joint model).

Play and record games of minesweeper using a graphics device that supports event handling. Replay recorded games and save GIF animations of them. Based on classic minesweeper as detailed by Crow P.

Nonparametric approach to estimate the location of block boundaries (change-points) of non-overlapping blocks in a random symmetric matrix which consists of random variables whose distribution changes from block to block.

This package provides weighted versions of several metrics and performance measures used in machine learning, including average unit deviances of the Bernoulli, Tweedie, Poisson, and Gamma distributions, see Jorgensen B.

Addons for the mice package to perform multiple imputation using chained equations with two-level data. Includes imputation methods dedicated to sporadically and systematically missing values. Imputation of continuous, binary or count variables are available. Following the recommendations of Audigier, V. et al (2018) <doi:10.1214/18-STS646>, the choice of the imputation method for each variable can be facilitated by a default choice tuned according to the structure of the incomplete dataset. Allows parallel calculation and overimputation for mice'.

Meta-analysis of generalized additive models and generalized additive mixed models. A typical use case is when data cannot be shared across locations, and an overall meta-analytic fit is sought. metagam provides functionality for removing individual participant data from models computed using the mgcv and gamm4 packages such that the model objects can be shared without exposing individual data. Furthermore, methods for meta-analysing these fits are provided. The implemented methods are described in Sorensen et al. (2020), <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117416>, extending previous works by Schwartz and Zanobetti (2000) and Crippa et al. (2018) <doi:10.6000/1929-6029.2018.07.02.1>.

Fit generalized linear models with binomial responses using a median modified score approach (Kenne Pagui et al., 2016, <https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.04768>) to median bias reduction. This method respects equivariance under reparameterizations for each parameter component and also solves the infinite estimates problem (data separation).

This package provides a set of functions to obtain modified score test for generalized linear models.

Convenient wrapper functions for the analysis of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectra data in order to select only representative spectra (also called cherry-pick). The package covers the preprocessing and dereplication steps (based on Strejcek, Smrhova, Junkova and Uhlik (2018) <doi:10.3389/fmicb.2018.01294>) needed to cluster MALDI-TOF spectra before the final cherry-picking step. It enables the easy exclusion of spectra and/or clusters to accommodate complex cherry-picking strategies. Alternatively, cherry-picking using taxonomic identification MALDI-TOF data is made easy with functions to import inconsistently formatted reports.
