Vitamin and mineral deficiencies continue to be a significant public health problem. This is particularly critical in developing countries where deficiencies to vitamin A, iron, iodine, and other micronutrients lead to adverse health consequences. Cross-sectional surveys are helpful in answering questions related to the magnitude and distribution of deficiencies of selected vitamins and minerals. This package provides tools for calculating and determining select vitamin and mineral deficiencies based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines found at <https://www.who.int/teams/nutrition-and-food-safety/databases/vitamin-and-mineral-nutrition-information-system>.

This package provides functions for the robust estimation of parametric families of copulas using minimization of the Maximum Mean Discrepancy, following the article Alquier, Chérief-Abdellatif, Derumigny and Fermanian (2022) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.2024836>.

This package provides a series of numerical methods for extracting parameters of distributions for risks based on knowing the expected value and c-statistics (e.g., from a published report on the performance of a risk prediction model). This package implements the methodology described in Sadatsafavi et al (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2409.09178>. The core of the package is mcmap(), which takes a pair of (mean, c-statistic) and the distribution type requested. This function provides a generic interface to more customized functions (mcmap_beta(), mcmap_logitnorm(), mcmap_probitnorm()) for specific distributions.

Measure quality of your tests. muttest introduces small changes (mutations) to your code and runs your tests to check if they catch the changes. If they do, your tests are good. If not, your assertions are not specific enough. muttest gives you percent score of how often your tests catch the changes.

MAle Lineage ANalysis by simulating genealogies backwards and imposing short tandem repeats (STR) mutations forwards. Intended for forensic Y chromosomal STR (Y-STR) haplotype analyses. Numerous analyses are possible, e.g. number of matches and meiotic distance to matches. Refer to papers mentioned in citation("malan") (DOI's: <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1007028>, <doi:10.21105/joss.00684> and <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2018.10.004>).

This package provides a simple in-memory, LRU cache that can be wrapped around any function to memoize it. The cache is keyed on a hash of the input data (using digest') or on pointer equivalence. Also includes a generic hashmap object that can key on any object type.

Correct identification and handling of missing data is one of the most important steps in any analysis. To aid this process, mde provides a very easy to use yet robust framework to quickly get an idea of where the missing data lies and therefore find the most appropriate action to take.

This package provides a likelihood-based approach to modeling species distributions using presence-only data. In contrast to the popular software program MAXENT, this approach yields estimates of the probability of occurrence, which is a natural descriptor of a species distribution.

This R package provides an implementation of multivariate extensions of a well-known fractal analysis technique, Detrended Fluctuations Analysis (DFA; Peng et al., 1995<doi:10.1063/1.166141>), for multivariate time series: multivariate DFA (mvDFA). Several coefficients are implemented that take into account the correlation structure of the multivariate time series to varying degrees. These coefficients may be used to analyze long memory and changes in the dynamic structure that would by univariate DFA. Therefore, this R package aims to extend and complement the original univariate DFA (Peng et al., 1995) for estimating the scaling properties of nonstationary time series.

Simulation-based sensitivity analysis for causal mediation studies. It numerically and graphically evaluates the sensitivity of causal mediation analysis results to the presence of unmeasured pretreatment confounding. The proposed method has primary advantages over existing methods. First, using an unmeasured pretreatment confounder conditional associations with the treatment, mediator, and outcome as sensitivity parameters, the method enables users to intuitively assess sensitivity in reference to prior knowledge about the strength of a potential unmeasured pretreatment confounder. Second, the method accurately reflects the influence of unmeasured pretreatment confounding on the efficiency of estimation of the causal effects. Third, the method can be implemented in different causal mediation analysis approaches, including regression-based, simulation-based, and propensity score-based methods. It is applicable to both randomized experiments and observational studies.

Machine learning algorithms have been used for performing single missing data imputation and most recently, multiple imputations. However, this is the first attempt for using automated machine learning algorithms for performing both single and multiple imputation. Automated machine learning is a procedure for fine-tuning the model automatic, performing a random search for a model that results in less error, without overfitting the data. The main idea is to allow the model to set its own parameters for imputing each variable separately instead of setting fixed predefined parameters to impute all variables of the dataset. Using automated machine learning, the package fine-tunes an Elastic Net (default) or Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Deep Learning, Extreme Gradient Boosting, or Stacked Ensemble machine learning model (from one or a combination of other supported algorithms) for imputing the missing observations. This procedure has been implemented for the first time by this package and is expected to outperform other packages for imputing missing data that do not fine-tune their models. The multiple imputation is implemented via bootstrapping without letting the duplicated observations to harm the cross-validation procedure, which is the way imputed variables are evaluated. Most notably, the package implements automated procedure for handling imputing imbalanced data (class rarity problem), which happens when a factor variable has a level that is far more prevalent than the other(s). This is known to result in biased predictions, hence, biased imputation of missing data. However, the autobalancing procedure ensures that instead of focusing on maximizing accuracy (classification error) in imputing factor variables, a fairer procedure and imputation method is practiced.

Learning, manipulation and evaluation of mixtures of truncated basis functions (MoTBFs), which include mixtures of polynomials (MOPs) and mixtures of truncated exponentials (MTEs). MoTBFs are a flexible framework for modelling hybrid Bayesian networks (I. Pérez-Bernabé, A. Salmerón, H. Langseth (2015) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-20807-7_36>; H. Langseth, T.D. Nielsen, I. Pérez-Bernabé, A. Salmerón (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.ijar.2013.09.012>; I. Pérez-Bernabé, A. Fernández, R. Rumà , A. Salmerón (2016) <doi:10.1007/s10618-015-0429-7>). The package provides functionality for learning univariate, multivariate and conditional densities, with the possibility of incorporating prior knowledge. Structural learning of hybrid Bayesian networks is also provided. A set of useful tools is provided, including plotting, printing and likelihood evaluation. This package makes use of S3 objects, with two new classes called motbf and jointmotbf'.

Facilitates performing matching adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) analysis where the endpoint of interest is either time-to-event (e.g. overall survival) or binary (e.g. objective tumor response). The method is described by Signorovitch et al (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.05.004>.

Providing the kubernetes-like class ManagedCloudProvider as a child class of the CloudProvider class in the DockerParallel package. The class is able to manage the cloud instance made by the non-kubernetes cloud service. For creating a provider for the non-kubernetes cloud service, the developer needs to define a reference class inherited from ManagedCloudProvider and define the method for the generics runDockerWorkerContainers(), getDockerWorkerStatus() and killDockerWorkerContainers(). For more information, please see the vignette in this package and <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=DockerParallel>.
