Learning and using the Metropolis algorithm for Bayesian fitting of a generalized linear model. The package vignette includes examples of hand-coding a logistic model using several variants of the Metropolis algorithm. The package also contains R functions for simulating posterior distributions of Bayesian generalized linear model parameters using guided, adaptive, guided-adaptive and random walk Metropolis algorithms. The random walk Metropolis algorithm was originally described in Metropolis et al (1953); <doi:10.1063/1.1699114>.

This package provides tools specifically designed for analyzing longitudinal microbiome data. This tool integrates seven functional modules, providing a systematic framework for microbiome time-series analysis. For more details on inferences involving interspecies interactions see Fisher (2014) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0102451>. Details on this package are also described in an unpublished manuscript.

Supports Bayesian models with full and partial (hence arbitrary) dependencies between random variables. Discrete and continuous variables are supported, and conditional joint probabilities and probability densities are estimated using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). The full general form, which implements an extension to Bayes theorem, as well as the simple form, which is just a Bayesian network, both support regression through segmentation and KDE and estimation of probability or relative likelihood of discrete or continuous target random variables. This package also provides true statistical distance measures based on Bayesian models. Furthermore, these measures can be facilitated on neighborhood searches, and to estimate the similarity and distance between data points. Related work is by Bayes (1763) <doi:10.1098/rstl.1763.0053> and by Scutari (2010) <doi:10.18637/jss.v035.i03>.

Visualization of decision rules for binary classification and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve estimation under different generalizations proposed in the literature: - making the classification subsets flexible to cover those scenarios where both extremes of the marker are associated with a higher risk of being positive, considering two thresholds (gROC() function); - transforming the marker by a proper function trying to improve the classification performance (hROC() function); - when dealing with multivariate markers, considering a proper transformation to univariate space trying to maximize the resulting AUC of the TPR for each FPR (multiROC() function). The classification regions behind each point of the ROC curve are displayed in both static graphics (plot_buildROC(), plot_regions() or plot_funregions() function) or videos (movieROC() function).

Toolset that enriches mlr with a diverse set of preprocessing operators. Composable Preprocessing Operators ("CPO"s) are first-class R objects that can be applied to data.frames and mlr "Task"s to modify data, can be attached to mlr "Learner"s to add preprocessing to machine learning algorithms, and can be composed to form preprocessing pipelines.

Programmatic interface to several NASA Earth Observation OPeNDAP servers (Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol) (<https://www.opendap.org/>). Allows for easy downloads of MODIS subsets, as well as other Earth Observation datacubes, in a time-saving and efficient way : by sampling it at the very downloading phase (spatially, temporally and dimensionally).

This package implements Multivariate Quantile-on-Quantile Regression (m-QQR) of Sinha, Ghosh, Hussain, Nguyen and Das (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.eneco.2023.107021>, extending the bivariate Quantile-on-Quantile regression of Sim and Zhou (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jbankfin.2015.01.013> to include exogenous moderators and controls with optional interaction terms. For each pair of quantile levels (theta of the response and tau of the regressor) the package fits a locally-weighted quantile regression of y on the principal regressor x, a lagged dependent variable, moderators Z and the x*Z interaction terms, using Gaussian kernel weights on the empirical cumulative distribution function (CDF) distance. Bootstrap standard errors and Koenker-Machado pseudo R-squared are reported. Visualisations include MATLAB'-style Parula and Jet 3D surfaces, heatmaps and contour plots through plotly'.

Read, inspect and process corpus files for quantitative corpus linguistics. Obtain concordances via regular expressions, tokenize texts, and compute frequencies and association measures. Useful for collocation analysis, keywords analysis and variationist studies (comparison of linguistic variants and of linguistic varieties).

An implementation of classifier chains (CC's) for multi-label prediction. Users can employ an external package (e.g. randomForest', C50'), or supply their own. The package can train a single set of CC's or train an ensemble of CC's -- in parallel if running in a multi-core environment. New observations are classified using a Gibbs sampler since each unobserved label is conditioned on the others. The package includes methods for evaluating the predictions for accuracy and aggregating across iterations and models to produce binary or probabilistic classifications.

Includes functions for conducting univariate and multivariate meta-analysis. This includes the estimation of the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix of effect sizes. For more details see Becker (1992) <doi:10.2307/1165128>, Cooper, Hedges, and Valentine (2019) <doi:10.7758/9781610448864>, and Schmid, Stijnen, and White (2020) <doi:10.1201/9781315119403>.

Parameter estimation and classification for Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) in the presence of missing data. This package complements existing implementations by allowing for both missing elements in the input vectors and full (as opposed to strictly diagonal) covariance matrices. Estimation is performed using an expectation conditional maximization algorithm that accounts for missingness of both the cluster assignments and the vector components. The output includes the marginal cluster membership probabilities; the mean and covariance of each cluster; the posterior probabilities of cluster membership; and a completed version of the input data, with missing values imputed to their posterior expectations. For additional details, please see McCaw ZR, Julienne H, Aschard H. "Fitting Gaussian mixture models on incomplete data." <doi:10.1186/s12859-022-04740-9>.

This package provides a function that wraps mcparallel() and mccollect() from parallel with temporary variables and a task handler. Wrapped in this way the results of an mcparallel() call can be returned to the R session when the fork is complete without explicitly issuing a specific mccollect() to retrieve the value. Outside of top-level tasks, multiple mcparallel() jobs can be retrieved with a single call to mcparallelDoCheck().

Handy helper package for cross-referencing lake identifiers among different data sets in the Midwestern United States. There are multiple different state, regional, and federal agencies that have different identifiers on lakes. This package helps you to go between them.

Analyzes subject-level data in clinical trials using the metalite data structure. The package simplifies the workflow to create production-ready tables, listings, and figures discussed in the subject-level analysis chapters of "R for Clinical Study Reports and Submission" by Zhang et al. (2022) <https://r4csr.org/>.

Function ModEstM() is the only one of this package, it estimates the modes of an empirical univariate distribution. It relies on the stats::density() function, even for input control. Due to very good performance of the density estimation, computation time is not an issue. The multiple modes are handled using dplyr::group_by(). For conditions and rates of convergences, see Eddy (1980) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176345080>.

Takes a .state file generated by IQ-TREE as an input and, for each ancestral node present in the file, generates a FASTA-formatted maximum likelihood (ML) sequence as well as an âAltAllâ sequence in which uncertain sites, determined by the two parameters thres_1 and thres_2, have the maximum likelihood state swapped with the next most likely state as described in Geeta N. Eick, Jamie T. Bridgham, Douglas P. Anderson, Michael J. Harms, and Joseph W. Thornton (2017), "Robustness of Reconstructed Ancestral Protein Functions to Statistical Uncertainty" <doi:10.1093/molbev/msw223>.

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.
