This package implements three families of parsimonious hidden Markov models (HMMs) for matrix-variate longitudinal data using the Expectation-Conditional Maximization (ECM) algorithm. The package supports matrix-variate normal, t, and contaminated normal distributions as emission distributions. For each hidden state, parsimony is achieved through the eigen-decomposition of the covariance matrices associated with the emission distribution. This approach results in a comprehensive set of 98 parsimonious HMMs for each type of emission distribution. Atypical matrix detection is also supported, utilizing the fitted (heavy-tailed) models.

This package provides the facility to calculate non-isotropic accumulated cost surfaces, least-cost paths, least-cost corridors, least-cost networks, ranked alternative paths, cost allocation and cost boundaries, using a number of human-movement-related cost functions that can be selected by the user. The package is built around a compute-once design: a single cost surface object is created first and then reused by every analysis function, avoiding redundant computation. Visualisation is fully decoupled from computation and is provided through ggplot2 methods that can be invoked, customised, and re-invoked at any time without re-running any analysis. It just requires a Digital Terrain Model, a start location and (optionally) destination locations. See Alberti (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2019.100331>.

This package provides functions for model-based response dimension reduction. Usual dimension reduction methods in multivariate regression focus on the reduction of predictors, not responses. The response dimension reduction is theoretically founded in Yoo and Cook (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2008.07.029>. Later, three model-based response dimension reduction approaches are proposed in Yoo (2016) <doi:10.1080/02331888.2017.1410152> and Yoo (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jkss.2019.02.001>. The method by Yoo and Cook (2008) is based on non-parametric ordinary least squares, but the model-based approaches are done through maximum likelihood estimation. For two model-based response dimension reduction methods called principal fitted response reduction and unstructured principal fitted response reduction, chi-squared tests are provided for determining the dimension of the response subspace.

Multivariate Surrogate Synchrony ('mvSUSY') estimates the synchrony within datasets that contain more than two time series. mvSUSY was developed from Surrogate Synchrony ('SUSY') with respect to implementing surrogate controls, and extends synchrony estimation to multivariate data. mvSUSY works as described in Meier & Tschacher (2021).

Estimation of relative risks, risk differences, and partial effects from mixed model. Marginalisation over random effect terms is accomplished using Markov Chain Monte Carlo.

Inference of Multiscale graphical models with neighborhood selection approach. The method is based on solving a convex optimization problem combining a Lasso and fused-group Lasso penalties. This allows to infer simultaneously a conditional independence graph and a clustering partition. The optimization is based on the Continuation with Nesterov smoothing in a Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm solver (Hadj-Selem et al. 2018) <doi:10.1109/TMI.2018.2829802> implemented in python.

An approach to identify microbiome biomarker for time to event data by discovering microbiome for predicting survival and classifying subjects into risk groups. Classifiers are constructed as a linear combination of important microbiome and treatment effects if necessary. Several methods were implemented to estimate the microbiome risk score such as the LASSO method by Robert Tibshirani (1998) <doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19970228)16:4%3C385::AID-SIM380%3E3.0.CO;2-3>, Elastic net approach by Hui Zou and Trevor Hastie (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00503.x>, supervised principle component analysis of Wold Svante et al. (1987) <doi:10.1016/0169-7439(87)80084-9>, and supervised partial least squares analysis by Inge S. Helland <https://www.jstor.org/stable/4616159>. Sensitivity analysis on the quantile used for the classification can also be accessed to check the deviation of the classification group based on the quantile specified. Large scale cross validation can be performed in order to investigate the mostly selected microbiome and for internal validation. During the evaluation process, validation is accessed using the hazard ratios (HR) distribution of the test set and inference is mainly based on resampling and permutations technique.

Interactions between different biological entities are crucial for the function of biological systems. In such networks, nodes represent biological elements, such as genes, proteins and microbes, and their interactions can be defined by edges, which can be either binary or weighted. The dysregulation of these networks can be associated with different clinical conditions such as diseases and response to treatments. However, such variations often occur locally and do not concern the whole network. To capture local variations of such networks, we propose multiplex network differential analysis (MNDA). MNDA allows to quantify the variations in the local neighborhood of each node (e.g. gene) between the two given clinical states, and to test for statistical significance of such variation.

Constructs and analyzes optimal row-column designs for mixed-level factorial experiments under square and rectangular field layouts. For square field layouts, the package implements direct common-factor constructions by first forming two component treatment arrays, one for each factor or super-factor, and then combining them through a symbolic cell-wise product following Gopinath, Parsad and Mandal (2018) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2017.1376091>. For rectangular field layouts, the package constructs designs by extracting a balanced principal block from a mixed-level block design, treating it as the principal column, taking the complete treatment set as the principal row, and generating the full row-column design by cyclic modular development. The package also includes repair utilities for improving disconnected or partially connected row-column designs through bounded treatment-swap searches while preserving the row-column layout structure. The package provides diagnostic tools for connectedness, orthogonal factorial structure, balance, estimability, and selected optimality criteria for row-column designs.

This package provides new data-structure support for multi-precision computing for R users. The package supports 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit operations. To the best of our knowledge, MPCR differs from the currently available packages in the following: MPCR introduces a new data structure that supports three different precisions (16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit), allowing for optimized memory allocation based on the desired precision. This feature offers significant advantages in memory optimization. MPCR extends support to all basic linear algebra methods across different precisions. Optional GPU acceleration via CUDA is available for 32-bit and 64-bit operations when CUDA Toolkit is detected during installation, while 16-bit operations are GPU-only and limited to matrix-matrix multiplication. MPCR maintains a consistent interface with normal R functions, allowing for seamless code integration and a user-friendly experience.

This package implements a model-based clustering method for categorical life-course sequences relying on mixtures of exponential-distance models introduced by Murphy et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12712>. A range of flexible precision parameter settings corresponding to weighted generalisations of the Hamming distance metric are considered, along with the potential inclusion of a noise component. Gating covariates can be supplied in order to relate sequences to baseline characteristics and sampling weights are also accommodated. The models are fitted using the EM algorithm and tools for visualising the results are also provided.

Enables you to create accessible modal dialogs, with confidence and with minimal configuration.

This package provides functions that (1) fit multivariate discrete distributions, (2) generate random numbers from multivariate discrete distributions, and (3) run regression and penalized regression on the multivariate categorical response data. Implemented models include: multinomial logit model, Dirichlet multinomial model, generalized Dirichlet multinomial model, and negative multinomial model. Making the best of the minorization-maximization (MM) algorithm and Newton-Raphson method, we derive and implement stable and efficient algorithms to find the maximum likelihood estimates. On a multi-core machine, multi-threading is supported.

This package provides tools for constructing, computing, and using distance measures for numerical, categorical, and mixed-type data. The package implements a flexible framework in which continuous and categorical components can be combined under additive, commensurable, and association-aware specifications. Supported methods include classical distances such as Gower, Euclidean, Manhattan, and Mahalanobis-type distances; categorical dissimilarities such as simple matching, occurrence-frequency, and association-based measures; and mixed-type presets designed to reduce biases due to variable type, scale, distribution, redundancy, and number of categories. The package also provides scaling options, supervised and unsupervised distance constructions, leave-one-variable-out tools for distance-based variable importance, and integration with distance-based learning workflows such as nearest-neighbour prediction, partitioning around medoids, and spectral clustering. Methods are motivated by van de Velden, Iodice D'Enza, Markos, and Cavicchia (2026) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2026.2680181> and related work on categorical and mixed-type dissimilarities.

This package provides a set of utility functions for analysing and modelling data from continuous report short-term memory experiments using either the 2-component mixture model of Zhang and Luck (2008) <doi:10.1038/nature06860> or the 3-component mixture model of Bays et al. (2009) <doi:10.1167/9.10.7>. Users are also able to simulate from these models.
