This package provides functions to support data cleaning, evaluation, and description, developed for integration with Maelstrom Research software tools. madshapR provides functions primarily to evaluate and manipulate datasets and data dictionaries in preparation for data harmonization with the package Rmonize and to facilitate integration and transfer between RStudio servers and secure Opal environments. madshapR functions can be used independently but are optimized in conjunction with â Rmonizeâ functions for streamlined and coherent harmonization processing.

Algorithms for multivariate outlier detection when missing values occur. Algorithms are based on Mahalanobis distance or data depth. Imputation is based on the multivariate normal model or uses nearest neighbour donors. The algorithms take sample designs, in particular weighting, into account. The methods are described in Bill and Hulliger (2016) <doi:10.17713/ajs.v45i1.86>.

Package to carry out merged block randomization (Van der Pas (2019), <doi:10.1177/1740774519827957>), a restricted randomization method designed for small clinical trials (at most 100 subjects) or trials with small strata, for example in multicentre trials. It can be used for more than two groups or unequal randomization ratios.

Model evaluation based on a modified version of the recursive feature elimination algorithm. This package is designed to determine the optimal model(s) by leveraging all available features.

Clustering of data under a non-ignorable missingness mechanism. Clustering is achieved by a semi-parametric mixture model and missingness is managed by using the pattern-mixture approach. More details of the approach are available in Du Roy de Chaumaray et al. (2020) <arXiv:2009.07662>.

Evaluate whether a microbiome sample is a mixture of two samples, by fitting a model for the number of read counts as a function of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) allele and the genotypes of two potential source samples. Lobo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1093/g3journal/jkab308>.

Quantifies ecological memory in long time-series using Random Forest models ('Benito', Gil-Romera', and Birks 2019 <doi:10.1111/ecog.04772>) fitted with ranger (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>). Ecological memory is assessed by modeling a response variable as a function of lagged predictors, distinguishing endogenous memory (lagged response) from exogenous memory (lagged environmental drivers). Designed for palaeoecological datasets and simulated pollen curves from virtualPollen', but applicable to any long time-series with environmental drivers and a biotic response.

Local adaptation and evaluation of maps of continuous attributes in raster format by use of point location data.

Utility functions for discovering and managing metadata associated with spatially unique "known locations". Applications include all fields of environmental monitoring (e.g. air and water quality) where data are collected at stationary sites.

Exports two functions implementing multi-way clustering using the method suggested by Cameron, Gelbach, & Miller (2011) and cluster (or block) bootstrapping for estimating variance-covariance matrices. Normal one and two-way clustering matches the results of other common statistical packages. Missing values are handled transparently and rudimentary parallelization support is provided.

This package implements differential methylation region (DMR) detection using a multistage Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm based on the alpha-skew generalized normal (ASGN) distribution. Version 0.2.0 removes the Anderson-Darling test stage, improves computational efficiency of the core ASGN and multistage MCMC routines, and adds convenience functions for summarizing and visualizing detected DMRs. The methodology is based on Yang (2025) <https://www.proquest.com/docview/3218878972>.

This package provides functionality to generate compound optimal designs for targeting the multiple experimental objectives directly, ensuring that the full set of research questions is answered as economically as possible.

This package provides functions for comparing survival curves using the max-combo test at a single timepoint or repeatedly at successive respective timepoints while controlling type I error (i.e., the group sequential setting), as published by Prior (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220931560>. The max-combo test is a generalization of the weighted log-rank test, which itself is a generalization of the log-rank test, which is a commonly used statistical test for comparing survival curves, e.g., during or after a clinical trial as part of an effort to determine if a new drug or therapy is more effective at delaying undesirable outcomes than an established drug or therapy or a placebo.
