Create vectors with sticky flags for elements that should not be displayed. Numeric vectors have basic subset and arithmetic methods implemented.

An increasingly important source of health-related bibliographic content are preprints - preliminary versions of research articles that have yet to undergo peer review. The two preprint repositories most relevant to health-related sciences are medRxiv <https://www.medrxiv.org/> and bioRxiv, both of which are operated by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. medrxivr provides programmatic access to the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory (CSHL) API <https://api.biorxiv.org/>, allowing users to easily download medRxiv and bioRxiv preprint metadata (e.g. title, abstract, publication date, author list, etc) into R. medrxivr also provides functions to search the downloaded preprint records using regular expressions and Boolean logic, as well as helper functions that allow users to export their search results to a .BIB file for easy import to a reference manager and to download the full-text PDFs of preprints matching their search criteria.

This package provides a system for testing differential effects among treatments in case of Randomised Block Design and Latin Square Design when there is one missing observation. Methods for this process are as described in A.M.Gun,M.K.Gupta and B.Dasgupta(2019,ISBN:81-87567-81-3).

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.

Forecasting of univariate time series using feature extraction with variable prediction methods is provided. Feature extraction is done with a redundant Haar wavelet transform with filter h = (0.5, 0.5). The advantage of the approach compared to typical Fourier based methods is an dynamic adaptation to varying seasonalities. Currently implemented prediction methods based on the selected wavelets levels and scales are a regression and a multi-layer perceptron. Forecasts can be computed for horizon 1 or higher. Model selection is performed with an evolutionary optimization. Selection criteria are currently the AIC criterion, the Mean Absolute Error or the Mean Root Error. The data is split into three parts for model selection: Training, test, and evaluation dataset. The training data is for computing the weights of a parameter set. The test data is for choosing the best parameter set. The evaluation data is for assessing the forecast performance of the best parameter set on new data unknown to the model. This work is published in Stier, Q.; Gehlert, T.; Thrun, M.C. Multiresolution Forecasting for Industrial Applications. Processes 2021, 9, 1697. <doi:10.3390/pr9101697>.

This package implements order selection for Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models using the Mean Square Information Criterion (MIC). Unlike standard methods such as AIC and BIC, MIC is likelihood-free. This method consistently estimates VAR order and has robust performance under model misspecification. For more details, see Hellstern and Shojaie (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2511.19761>.

Measures niche breadth and overlap of microbial taxa from large matrices. Niche breadth measurements include Levins niche breadth (Bn) index, Hurlbert's Bn and Feinsinger's proportional similarity (PS) index. (Feinsinger, P., Spears, E.E., Poole, R.W.

(1988, ISBN:0471832359)) and a Jaccard similarity index of Feinsinger's PS values between taxa pairs, as Proportional Overlap.

This package provides a complete and dedicated analytical toolbox for quality control and diagnosis based on subject-related measurements of micro-RNA (miRNA) expressions. The package consists of a set of functions that allow to train, optimize and use a Bayesian classifier that relies on multiplets of measured miRNA expressions. The package also implements the quality control tools required to preprocess input datasets. In addition, the package provides a function to carry out a statistical analysis of miRNA expressions, which can give insights to improve the classifier's performance. The method implemented in the package was first introduced in L. Ricci, V. Del Vescovo, C. Cantaloni, M. Grasso, M. Barbareschi and M. A. Denti, "Statistical analysis of a Bayesian classifier based on the expression of miRNAs", BMC Bioinformatics 16:287, 2015 <doi:10.1186/s12859-015-0715-9>. The package is thoroughly described in M. Castelluzzo, A. Perinelli, S. Detassis, M. A. Denti and L. Ricci, "MiRNA-QC-and-Diagnosis: An R package for diagnosis based on MiRNA expression", SoftwareX 12:100569, 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2020.100569>.

The multispatial convergent cross mapping algorithm can be used as a test for causal associations between pairs of processes represented by time series. This is a combination of convergent cross mapping (CCM), described in Sugihara et al., 2012, Science, 338, 496-500, and dew-drop regression, described in Hsieh et al., 2008, American Naturalist, 171, 71â 80. The algorithm allows CCM to be implemented on data that are not from a single long time series. Instead, data can come from many short time series, which are stitched together using bootstrapping.
