Helper functions that interface with the system utilities to learn about the local build environment. Lets you explore make rules to test the local configuration, or query pkg-config to find compiler flags and libs needed for building packages with external dependencies. Also contains tools to analyze which libraries that a installed R package linked to by inspecting output from ldd in combination with information from your distribution package manager, e.g. rpm or dpkg'.

This package provides a complete toolkit to process the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ) for its three versions (standard, micro, and shift). MCTQ is a quantitative and validated tool to assess chronotypes using peoples sleep behavior, originally presented by Till Roenneberg, Anna Wirz-Justice, and Martha Merrow (2003, <doi:10.1177/0748730402239679>).

Transfer learning, as a prevailing technique in computer sciences, aims to improve the performance of a target model by leveraging auxiliary information from heterogeneous source data. We provide novel tools for multi-source transfer learning under statistical models based on model averaging strategies, including linear regression models, partially linear models. Unlike existing transfer learning approaches, this method integrates the auxiliary information through data-driven weight assignments to avoid negative transfer. This is the first package for transfer learning based on the optimal model averaging frameworks, providing efficient implementations for practitioners in multi-source data modeling. The details are described in Hu and Zhang (2023) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v24/23-0030.html>.

Reads, plots, and manipulates large taxonomic data sets, like those generated from modern high-throughput sequencing, such as metabarcoding (i.e. amplification metagenomics, 16S metagenomics, etc). It provides a tree-based visualization called "heat trees" used to depict statistics for every taxon in a taxonomy using color and size. It also provides various functions to do common tasks in microbiome bioinformatics on data in the taxmap format defined by the taxa package. The metacoder package is described in the publication by Foster et al. (2017) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005404>.

The ultimate goal is to support 2-2-1, 2-1-1, and 1-1-1 models for multilevel mediation, the option of a moderating variable for either the a, b, or both paths, and covariates. Currently the 1-1-1 model is supported and several options of random effects; the initial code for bootstrapping was evaluated in simulations by Falk, Vogel, Hammami, and MioÄ eviÄ (2024) <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02079-4>. Support for Bayesian estimation using brms comprises ongoing work. Currently only continuous mediators and outcomes are supported. Factors for any predictors must be numerically represented.

Statistical Analyses and Pooling after Multiple Imputation. A large variety of repeated statistical analysis can be performed and finally pooled. Statistical analysis that are available are, among others, Levene's test, Odds and Risk Ratios, One sample proportions, difference between proportions and linear and logistic regression models.

Support JSON flattening in a long data frame way, where the nesting keys will be stored in the absolute path. It also provides an easy way to summarize the basic description of a JSON list. The idea of mojson is to transform a JSON object in an absolute serialization way, which means the early key-value pairs will appear in the heading rows of the resultant data frame. mojson also provides an alternative way of comparing two different JSON lists, returning the left/inner/right-join style results.

This package provides the users with the ability to quickly create linked micromap plots for a collection of geographic areas. Linked micromap plots are visualizations of geo-referenced data that link statistical graphics to an organized series of small maps or graphic images. The Help description contains examples of how to use the micromapST function. Contained in this package are border group datasets to support creating linked micromap plots for the 50 U.S. states and District of Columbia (51 areas), the U. S. 20 Seer Registries, the 105 counties in the state of Kansas, the 62 counties of New York, the 24 counties of Maryland, the 29 counties of Utah, the 32 administrative areas in China, the 218 administrative areas in the UK and Ireland (for testing only), the 25 districts in the city of Seoul South Korea, and the 52 counties on the Africa continent. A border group dataset contains the boundaries related to the data level areas, a second layer boundaries, a top or third layer boundary, a parameter list of run options, and a cross indexing table between area names, abbreviations, numeric identification and alias matching strings for the specific geographic area. By specifying a border group, the package create linked micromap plots for any geographic region. The user can create and provide their own border group dataset for any area beyond the areas contained within the package with the BuildBorderGroup function. In April of 2022, it was announced that maptools', rgdal', and rgeos R packages would be retired in middle to end of 2023 and removed from the CRAN libraries. The BuildBorderGroup function was dependent on these packages. micromapST functions were not impacted by the retired R packages. Upgrading of BuildBorderGroup function was completed and released with version 3.0.0 on August 10, 2023 using the sf R package.
