The multiple instance data set consists of many independent subjects (called bags) and each subject is composed of several components (called instances). The outcomes of such data set are binary or categorical responses, and, we can only observe the subject-level outcomes. For example, in manufacturing processes, a subject is labeled as "defective" if at least one of its own components is defective, and otherwise, is labeled as "non-defective". The milr package focuses on the predictive model for the multiple instance data set with binary outcomes and performs the maximum likelihood estimation with the Expectation-Maximization algorithm under the framework of logistic regression. Moreover, the LASSO penalty is attached to the likelihood function for simultaneous parameter estimation and variable selection.

This package implements an estimator for relative risk based on the median unbiased estimator.

Metadynamics is a state of the art biomolecular simulation technique. Plumed Tribello, G.A. et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2013.09.018> program makes it possible to perform metadynamics using various simulation codes. The results of metadynamics done in Plumed can be analyzed by metadynminer'. The package metadynminer reads 1D and 2D metadynamics hills files from Plumed package. It uses a fast algorithm by Hosek, P. and Spiwok, V. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2015.08.037> to calculate a free energy surface from hills. Minima can be located and plotted on the free energy surface. Transition states can be analyzed by Nudged Elastic Band method by Henkelman, G. and Jonsson, H. (2000) <doi:10.1063/1.1323224>. Free energy surfaces, minima and transition paths can be plotted to produce publication quality images.

Statistical methods to match feature vectors between multiple datasets in a one-to-one fashion. Given a fixed number of classes/distributions, for each unit, exactly one vector of each class is observed without label. The goal is to label the feature vectors using each label exactly once so to produce the best match across datasets, e.g. by minimizing the variability within classes. Statistical solutions based on empirical loss functions and probabilistic modeling are provided. The Gurobi software and its R interface package are required for one of the package functions (match.2x()) and can be obtained at <https://www.gurobi.com/> (free academic license). For more details, refer to Degras (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2074429> "Scalable feature matching for large data collections" and Bandelt, Maas, and Spieksma (2004) <doi:10.1057/palgrave.jors.2601723> "Local search heuristics for multi-index assignment problems with decomposable costs".

Quantify the causal effect of a binary exposure on a binary outcome with adjustment for multiple biases. The functions can simultaneously adjust for any combination of uncontrolled confounding, exposure/outcome misclassification, and selection bias. The underlying method generalizes the concept of combining inverse probability of selection weighting with predictive value weighting. Simultaneous multi-bias analysis can be used to enhance the validity and transparency of real-world evidence obtained from observational, longitudinal studies. Based on the work from Paul Brendel, Aracelis Torres, and Onyebuchi Arah (2023) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyad001>.

An implementation of the multilevel (also known as mixed or random effects) hidden Markov model using Bayesian estimation in R. The multilevel hidden Markov model (HMM) is a generalization of the well-known hidden Markov model, for the latter see Rabiner (1989) <doi:10.1109/5.18626>. The multilevel HMM is tailored to accommodate (intense) longitudinal data of multiple individuals simultaneously, see e.g., de Haan-Rietdijk et al. <doi:10.1080/00273171.2017.1370364>. Using a multilevel framework, we allow for heterogeneity in the model parameters (transition probability matrix and conditional distribution), while estimating one overall HMM. The model can be fitted on multivariate data with either a categorical, normal, or Poisson distribution, and include individual level covariates (allowing for e.g., group comparisons on model parameters). Parameters are estimated using Bayesian estimation utilizing the forward-backward recursion within a hybrid Metropolis within Gibbs sampler. Missing data (NA) in the dependent variables is accommodated assuming MAR. The package also includes various visualization options, a function to simulate data, and a function to obtain the most likely hidden state sequence for each individual using the Viterbi algorithm.

This package provides a function for measuring the difference between two independent or non-independent empirical distributions and returning a significance level of the difference.

This package provides methods to construct multivariate grids, which can be used for multivariate quadrature. This grids can be based on different quadrature rules like Newton-Cotes formulas (trapezoidal-, Simpson's- rule, ...) or Gauss quadrature (Gauss-Hermite, Gauss-Legendre, ...). For the construction of the multidimensional grid the product-rule or the combination- technique can be applied.

Fits Bayesian time-course models for model-based network meta-analysis (MBNMA) that allows inclusion of multiple time-points from studies. Repeated measures over time are accounted for within studies by applying different time-course functions, following the method of Pedder et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1351>. The method allows synthesis of studies with multiple follow-up measurements that can account for time-course for a single or multiple treatment comparisons. Several general time-course functions are provided; others may be added by the user. Various characteristics can be flexibly added to the models, such as correlation between time points and shared class effects. The consistency of direct and indirect evidence in the network can be assessed using unrelated mean effects models and/or by node-splitting.
