Gradient boosting is a powerful statistical learning method known for its ability to model complex relationships between predictors and outcomes while performing inherent variable selection. However, traditional gradient boosting methods lack flexibility in handling longitudinal data where within-subject correlations play a critical role. In this package, we propose a novel approach Mixed Effect Gradient Boosting ('MEGB'), designed specifically for high-dimensional longitudinal data. MEGB incorporates a flexible semi-parametric model that embeds random effects within the gradient boosting framework, allowing it to account for within-individual covariance over time. Additionally, the method efficiently handles scenarios where the number of predictors greatly exceeds the number of observations (p>>n) making it particularly suitable for genomics data and other large-scale biomedical studies.

This package provides flexible dictionary-based cleaning that allows users to specify implicit and explicit missing data, regular expressions for both data and columns, and global matches, while respecting ordering of factors. This package is part of the RECON (<https://www.repidemicsconsortium.org/>) toolkit for outbreak analysis.

The algorithms implemented here are used to detect the community structure of a network. These algorithms follow different approaches, but are all based on the concept of modularity maximization.

Sometimes data for analysis are obtained using more convenient or less expensive means yielding "surrogate" variables for what could be obtained more accurately, albeit with less convenience; or less conveniently or at more expense yielding "reference" variables, thought of as being measured without error. Analysis of the surrogate variables measured with error generally yields biased estimates when the objective is to make inference about the reference variables. Often it is thought that ignoring the measurement error in surrogate variables only biases effects toward the null hypothesis, but this need not be the case. Measurement errors may bias parameter estimates either toward or away from the null hypothesis. If one has a data set with surrogate variable data from the full sample, and also reference variable data from a randomly selected subsample, then one can assess the bias introduced by measurement error in parameter estimation, and use this information to derive improved estimates based upon all available data. Formulaically these estimates based upon the reference variables from the validation subsample combined with the surrogate variables from the whole sample can be interpreted as starting with the estimate from reference variables in the validation subsample, and "augmenting" this with additional information from the surrogate variables. This suggests the term "augmented" estimate. The meerva package calculates these augmented estimates in the regression setting when there is a randomly selected subsample with both surrogate and reference variables. Measurement errors may be differential or non-differential, in any or all predictors (simultaneously) as well as outcome. The augmented estimates derive, in part, from the multivariate correlation between regression model parameter estimates from the reference variables and the surrogate variables, both from the validation subset. Because the validation subsample is chosen at random any biases imposed by measurement error, whether non-differential or differential, are reflected in this correlation and these correlations can be used to derive estimates for the reference variables using data from the whole sample. The main functions in the package are meerva.fit which calculates estimates for a dataset, and meerva.sim.block which simulates multiple datasets as described by the user, and analyzes these datasets, storing the regression coefficient estimates for inspection. The augmented estimates, as well as how measurement error may arise in practice, is described in more detail by Kremers WK (2021) <arXiv:2106.14063> and is an extension of the works by Chen Y-H, Chen H. (2000) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00243>, Chen Y-H. (2002) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00324>, Wang X, Wang Q (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2015.05.017> and Tong J, Huang J, Chubak J, et al.

An ensemble classifier for multiclass classification. This is a novel classifier that natively works as an ensemble. It projects data on a large number of matrices, and uses very simple classifiers on each of these projections. The results are then combined, ideally via Dempster-Shafer Calculus.

The user must supply a matrix filled with similarity values. The software will search for significant differences between similarity values at different hierarchical levels. The algorithm will return a Loess-smoothed plot of the similarity values along with the inflection point, if there are any. There is the option to search for an inflection point within a specified range. The package also has a function that will return the matrix components at a specified cutoff.

Incorporates a Bayesian monotonic single-index mixed-effect model with a multivariate skew-t likelihood, specifically designed to handle survey weights adjustments. Features include a simulation program and an associated Gibbs sampler for model estimation. The single-index function is constrained to be monotonic increasing, utilizing a customized Gaussian process prior for precise estimation. The model assumes random effects follow a canonical skew-t distribution, while residuals are represented by a multivariate Student-t distribution. Offers robust Bayesian adjustments to integrate survey weight information effectively.

Computes the posterior model probabilities for standard meta-analysis models (null model vs. alternative model assuming either fixed- or random-effects, respectively). These posterior probabilities are used to estimate the overall mean effect size as the weighted average of the mean effect size estimates of the random- and fixed-effect model as proposed by Gronau, Van Erp, Heck, Cesario, Jonas, & Wagenmakers (2017, <doi:10.1080/23743603.2017.1326760>). The user can define a wide range of non-informative or informative priors for the mean effect size and the heterogeneity coefficient. Moreover, using pre-compiled Stan models, meta-analysis with continuous and discrete moderators with Jeffreys-Zellner-Siow (JZS) priors can be fitted and tested. This allows to compute Bayes factors and perform Bayesian model averaging across random- and fixed-effects meta-analysis with and without moderators. For a primer on Bayesian model-averaged meta-analysis, see Gronau, Heck, Berkhout, Haaf, & Wagenmakers (2021, <doi:10.1177/25152459211031256>).

Selects bandwidth for the kernel density estimator with minimum distance method as proposed by Devroye and Lugosi (1996). The minimum distance method directly selects the optimal kernel density estimator from countably infinite kernel density estimators and indirectly selects the optimal bandwidth. This package selects the optimal bandwidth from finite kernel density estimators.
