Data-driven approach for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) that uses Model Implied Instrumental Variables (MIIVs). The method starts with a one factor model and arrives at a suggested model with enhanced interpretability that allows cross-loadings and correlated errors.

An open-source implementation of latent variable methods and multivariate modeling tools. The focus is on exploratory analyses using dimensionality reduction methods including low dimensional embedding, classical multivariate statistical tools, and tools for enhanced interpretation of machine learning methods (i.e. intelligible models to provide important information for end-users). Target domains include extension to dedicated applications e.g. for manufacturing process modeling, spectroscopic analyses, and data mining.

This package provides a set of functions which use the Expectation Maximisation (EM) algorithm (Dempster, A. P., Laird, N. M., and Rubin, D. B. (1977) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1977.tb01600.x> Maximum likelihood from incomplete data via the EM algorithm, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, 39(1), 1--22) to take a finite mixture model approach to clustering. The package is designed to cluster multivariate data that have categorical and continuous variables and that possibly contain missing values. The method is described in Hunt, L. and Jorgensen, M. (1999) <doi:10.1111/1467-842X.00071> Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics 41(2), 153--171 and Hunt, L. and Jorgensen, M. (2003) <doi:10.1016/S0167-9473(02)00190-1> Mixture model clustering for mixed data with missing information, Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 41(3-4), 429--440.

Estimates probit, logit, Poisson, negative binomial, and beta regression models, returning their marginal effects, odds ratios, or incidence rate ratios as an output. Greene (2008, pp. 780-7) provides a textbook introduction to this topic.

The MSiP is a computational approach to predict protein-protein interactions from large-scale affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) data. This approach includes both spoke and matrix models for interpreting AP-MS data in a network context. The "spoke" model considers only bait-prey interactions, whereas the "matrix" model assumes that each of the identified proteins (baits and prey) in a given AP-MS experiment interacts with each of the others. The spoke model has a high false-negative rate, whereas the matrix model has a high false-positive rate. Although, both statistical models have merits, a combination of both models has shown to increase the performance of machine learning classifiers in terms of their capabilities in discrimination between true and false positive interactions.

Friendly implementation of the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for competitive gene set enrichment analysis.

If results from a meta-GWAS are used for validation in one of the cohorts that was included in the meta-analysis, this will yield biased (i.e. too optimistic) results. The validation cohort needs to be independent from the meta-Genome-Wide-Association-Study (meta-GWAS) results. MetaSubtract will subtract the results of the respective cohort from the meta-GWAS results analytically without having to redo the meta-GWAS analysis using the leave-one-out methodology. It can handle different meta-analyses methods and takes into account if single or double genomic control correction was applied to the original meta-analysis. It can also handle different meta-analysis methods. It can be used for whole GWAS, but also for a limited set of genetic markers. See for application: Nolte I.M. et al. (2017); <doi: 10.1038/ejhg.2017.50>.

It offers random-forest-based functions to impute clustered incomplete data. The package is tailored for but not limited to imputing multitissue expression data, in which a gene's expression is measured on the collected tissues of an individual but missing on the uncollected tissues.

Sentiment analysis is a popular technique in text mining that attempts to determine the emotional state of some text. We provide a new implementation of a common method for computing sentiment, whereby words are scored as positive or negative according to a dictionary lookup. Then the sum of those scores is returned for the document. We use the Hu and Liu sentiment dictionary ('Hu and Liu', 2004) <doi:10.1145/1014052.1014073> for determining sentiment. The scoring function is vectorized by document, and scores for multiple documents are computed in parallel via OpenMP'.

Helping psychologists and other behavioural scientists to analyze mouse movement (and other 2-D trajectory) data. Bundles together several functions that compute spatial measures (e.g., maximum absolute deviation, area under the curve, sample entropy) or provide a shorthand for procedures that are frequently used (e.g., time normalization, linear interpolation, extracting initiation and movement times). For more information on these dependent measures, see Wirth et al. (2020) <doi:10.3758/s13428-020-01409-0>.

Generalized Egger tests for detecting publication bias in meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy test (Noma (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13343>, Noma (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.07270>). These publication bias tests are generally more powerful compared with the conventional univariate publication bias tests and can incorporate correlation information between the outcome variables.

This package provides a framework which should improve reproducibility and transparency in data processing. It provides functionality such as automatic meta data creation and management, rudimentary quality management, data caching, work-flow management and data aggregation. * The title is a wish not a promise. By no means we expect this package to deliver everything what is needed to achieve full reproducibility and transparency, but we believe that it supports efforts in this direction.
