Collection of functions to compute within-study covariances for different effect sizes, data visualization, and single and multiple imputations for missing data. Effect sizes include correlation (r), mean difference (MD), standardized mean difference (SMD), log odds ratio (logOR), log risk ratio (logRR), and risk difference (RD).

This package provides a bundle of functions for modifying MAESTRA/MAESPA input files,reading output files, and visualizing the stand in 3D. Handy for running sensitivity analyses, scenario analyses, etc.

The stepwise variable selection procedure (with iterations between the forward and backward steps) can be used to obtain the best candidate final regression model in regression analysis. All the relevant covariates are put on the variable list to be selected. The significance levels for entry (SLE) and for stay (SLS) are usually set to 0.15 (or larger) for being conservative. Then, with the aid of substantive knowledge, the best candidate final regression model is identified manually by dropping the covariates with p value > 0.05 one at a time until all regression coefficients are significantly different from 0 at the chosen alpha level of 0.05.

Implements the series_md protocol defined in the maskedcauses package.

Life expectancy is highly correlated over time among countries and between males and females. These associations can be used to improve forecasts. Here we have implemented a method for forecasting female life expectancy based on analysis of the gap between female life expectancy in a country compared with the record level of female life expectancy in the world. Second, to forecast male life expectancy, the gap between male life expectancy and female life expectancy in a country is analysed. We named this method the Double-Gap model. For a detailed description of the method see Pascariu et al. (2018). <doi:10.1016/j.insmatheco.2017.09.011>.

Fit Bayesian stochastic block models (SBMs) and multi-level stochastic block models (MLSBMs) using efficient Gibbs sampling implemented in Rcpp'. The models assume symmetric, non-reflexive graphs (no self-loops) with unweighted, binary edges. Data are input as a symmetric binary adjacency matrix (SBMs), or list of such matrices (MLSBMs).

This package implements parametric modal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models utilizing the Skewed Distribution (SKD) family. Current distributions supported are the Skew-Normal, Skewed Student-t, and Skewed Laplace. The conditional mode is parameterized and optimized via maximum likelihood using analytical gradients. Includes comprehensive residual diagnostics, robustness options (heavy tails, asymmetry), robust parametric bootstrap prediction intervals, and classical asymptotic inference via the Fisher Information matrix. Methods are described in Galarza, C.E., Lachos, V.H., Cabral, C.R.B., & Castro, L.M. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sta4.140>.

This package provides tools that facilitate ordinary differential equation (ODE) modeling in R'. This package allows one to perform simulations for ODE models that are encoded in the GNU MCSim model specification language (Bois, 2009) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btp162> using ODE solvers from the R package deSolve (Soetaert et al., 2010) <doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i09>.

This package creates and runs Bayesian mixing models to analyze biological tracer data (i.e. stable isotopes, fatty acids), which estimate the proportions of source (prey) contributions to a mixture (consumer). MixSIAR is not one model, but a framework that allows a user to create a mixing model based on their data structure and research questions, via options for fixed/ random effects, source data types, priors, and error terms. MixSIAR incorporates several years of advances since MixSIR and SIAR'.

This package provides utilities for reading and processing microdata from Spanish official statistics with R.

This package provides a compilation of functions to create visually appealing and information-rich plots of meta-analytic data using ggplot2'. Currently allows to create forest plots, funnel plots, and many of their variants, such as rainforest plots, thick forest plots, additional evidence contour funnel plots, and sunset funnel plots. In addition, functionalities for visual inference with the funnel plot in the context of meta-analysis are provided.

Quantitative RT-PCR data are analyzed using generalized linear mixed models based on lognormal-Poisson error distribution, fitted using MCMC. Control genes are not required but can be incorporated as Bayesian priors or, when template abundances correlate with conditions, as trackers of global effects (common to all genes). The package also implements a lognormal model for higher-abundance data and a "classic" model involving multi-gene normalization on a by-sample basis. Several plotting functions are included to extract and visualize results. The detailed tutorial is available here: <https://matzlab.weebly.com/uploads/7/6/2/2/76229469/mcmc.qpcr.tutorial.v1.2.4.pdf>.

It computes arbitrary products moments (mean vector and variance-covariance matrix), for some double truncated (and folded) multivariate distributions. These distributions belong to the family of selection elliptical distributions, which includes well known skewed distributions as the unified skew-t distribution (SUT) and its particular cases as the extended skew-t (EST), skew-t (ST) and the symmetric student-t (T) distribution. Analogous normal cases unified skew-normal (SUN), extended skew-normal (ESN), skew-normal (SN), and symmetric normal (N) are also included. Density, probabilities and random deviates are also offered for these members.

Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for true QTL.

This package implements the moment-matching approximation for differences of non-standardized t-distributed random variables in both univariate and multivariate settings. The package provides density, distribution function, quantile function, and random generation for the approximated distributions of t-differences. The methodology establishes the univariate approximated distributions through the systematic matching of the first, second, and fourth moments, and extends it to multivariate cases, considering both scenarios of independent components and the more general multivariate t-distributions with arbitrary dependence structures. Methods build on the classical moment-matching approximation method (e.g., Casella and Berger (2024) <doi:10.1201/9781003456285>).

Two novel matching-based methods for estimating group average treatment effects (GATEs). The match_y1y0() and match_y1y0_bc() functions are used for imputing the potential outcomes based on matching and bias-corrected matching techniques, respectively. The EstGATE() function is employed to estimate the GATE after imputing the potential outcomes.
