The current version of the MixSAL package allows users to generate data from a multivariate SAL distribution or a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions, evaluate the probability density function of a multivariate SAL distribution or a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions, and fit a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm (see Franczak et. al, 2014, <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2013.216>, for details).

This package provides a collection of statistical tests for the detection of differential item functioning (DIF) in multistage tests. Methods entail logistic regression, an adaptation of the simultaneous item bias test (SIBTEST), and various score-based tests. The presented tests provide itemwise test for DIF along categorical, ordinal or metric covariates. Methods for uniform and non-uniform DIF effects are available depending on which method is used.

The rapid screening of effective and optimal therapies from large numbers of candidate combinations, as well as exploring subgroup efficacy, remains challenging, which necessitates innovative, integrated, and efficient trial designs(Yuan, Y., et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.6971>). MIDAS-2 package enables quick and continuous screening of promising combination strategies and exploration of their subgroup effects within a unified platform design framework. We used a regression model to characterize the efficacy pattern in subgroups. Information borrowing was applied through Bayesian hierarchical model to improve trial efficiency considering the limited sample size in subgroups(Cunanan, K. M., et al. (2019) <doi:10.1177/1740774518812779>). MIDAS-2 provides an adaptive drug screening and subgroup exploring framework to accelerate immunotherapy development in an efficient, accurate, and integrated fashion(Wathen, J. K., & Thall, P. F. (2017) <doi: 10.1177/1740774517692302>).

The extension and its applications, including estimation of absolute risks, are described in Saarela & Arjas (2015) <DOI:10.1111/sjos.12125>. The package also implements the nonparametric ordinal regression model described in Saarela, Rohrbeck & Arjas <DOI:10.1214/22-BA1310>.

This package provides functions to classify mass spectra in known categories and to determine discriminant mass-to-charge values (m/z). Includes easy-to-use preprocessing pipelines for Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation - Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) mass spectra, methods to select discriminant m/z from labelled libraries, and tools to predict categories (species, phenotypes, etc.) from selected features. Also provides utilities to build design matrices from peak intensities and labels. While this package was developed with the aim of identifying very similar species or phenotypes of bacteria from MALDI-TOF MS, the functions of this package can also be used to classify other categories associated to mass spectra; or from mass spectra obtained with other mass spectrometry techniques. Parallelized processing and optional C++-accelerated functions are available (notably to deal with large datasets) from version 0.5.0. If you use this package in your research, please cite the associated publication (<doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2025.128796>). For a comprehensive guide, additional applications, and detailed examples, see <https://github.com/agodmer/MSclassifR_examples>.

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>.

This package provides a new method to implement clustering from multiple modality data of certain samples, the function M2SMjF() jointly factorizes multiple similarity matrices into a shared sub-matrix and several modality private sub-matrices, which is further used for clustering. Along with this method, we also provide function to calculate the similarity matrix and function to evaluate the best cluster number from the original data.

Scalable Bayesian clustering of categorical datasets. The package implements a hierarchical Dirichlet (Process) mixture of multinomial distributions. It is thus a probabilistic latent class model (LCM) and can be used to reduce the dimensionality of hierarchical data and cluster individuals into latent classes. It can automatically infer an appropriate number of latent classes or find k classes, as defined by the user. The model is based on a paper by Dunson and Xing (2009) <doi:10.1198/jasa.2009.tm08439>, but implements a scalable variational inference algorithm so that it is applicable to large datasets. It is described and tested in the accompanying paper by Ahlmann-Eltze and Yau (2018) <doi:10.1109/DSAA.2018.00068>.

This package implements two methods: a nonparametric risk adjustment and a data imputation method that use general population mortality tables to allow a correct analysis of time to disease recurrence. Also includes a powerful set of object oriented survival data simulation functions.

Conduct random forests-based meta-analysis, obtain partial dependence plots for metaforest and classic meta-analyses, and cross-validate and tune metaforest- and classic meta-analyses in conjunction with the caret package. A requirement of classic meta-analysis is that the studies being aggregated are conceptually similar, and ideally, close replications. However, in many fields, there is substantial heterogeneity between studies on the same topic. Classic meta-analysis lacks the power to assess more than a handful of univariate moderators. MetaForest, by contrast, has substantial power to explore heterogeneity in meta-analysis. It can identify important moderators from a larger set of potential candidates (Van Lissa, 2020). This is an appealing quality, because many meta-analyses have small sample sizes. Moreover, MetaForest yields a measure of variable importance which can be used to identify important moderators, and offers partial prediction plots to explore the shape of the marginal relationship between moderators and effect size.

The inference in multi-state models is traditionally performed under a Markov assumption that claims that past and future of the process are independent given the present state. In this package, we consider tests of the Markov assumption that are applicable to general multi-state models. Three approaches using existing methodology are considered: a simple method based on including covariates depending on the history in Cox models for the transition intensities; methods based on measuring the discrepancy of the non-Markov estimators of the transition probabilities to the Markov Aalen-Johansen estimators; and, finally, methods that were developed by considering summaries from families of log-rank statistics where patients are grouped by the state occupied of the process at a particular time point (see Soutinho G, Meira-Machado L (2021) <doi:10.1007/s00180-021-01139-7> and Titman AC, Putter H (2020) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxaa030>).

This package implements model-robust standardization for cluster-randomized trials (CRTs). Provides functions that standardize user-specified regression models to estimate marginal treatment effects. The targets include the cluster-average and individual-average treatment effects, with utilities for variance estimation and example simulation datasets.

Weakly supervised (WS), multiple instance (MI) data lives in numerous interesting applications such as drug discovery, object detection, and tumor prediction on whole slide images. The mildsvm package provides an easy way to learn from this data by training Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based classifiers. It also contains helpful functions for building and printing multiple instance data frames. The core methods from mildsvm come from the following references: Kent and Yu (2024) <doi:10.1214/24-AOAS1876>; Xiao, Liu, and Hao (2018) <doi:10.1109/TNNLS.2017.2766164>; Muandet et al. (2012) <https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2012/file/9bf31c7ff062936a96d3c8bd1f8f2ff3-Paper.pdf>; Chu and Keerthi (2007) <doi:10.1162/neco.2007.19.3.792>; and Andrews et al. (2003) <https://papers.nips.cc/paper/2232-support-vector-machines-for-multiple-instance-learning.pdf>. Many functions use the Gurobi optimization back-end to improve the optimization problem speed; the gurobi R package and associated software can be downloaded from <https://www.gurobi.com> after obtaining a license.
