This package contains several plotting functions such as barplots, scatterplots, heatmaps, as well as functions to combine plots and assist in the creation of these plots. These functions will give users great ease of use and customization options in broad use for biomedical applications, as well as general purpose plotting. Each of the functions also provides valid default settings to make plotting data more efficient and producing high quality plots with standard colour schemes simpler. All functions within this package are capable of producing plots that are of the quality to be presented in scientific publications and journals.

This package performs Bayesian posterior inference for heteroskedastic Gaussian processes. Models are trained through MCMC including elliptical slice sampling (ESS) of latent noise processes and Metropolis-Hastings sampling of kernel hyperparameters. Replicates are handled efficientyly through a Woodbury formulation of the joint likelihood for the mean and noise process (Binois, M., Gramacy, R., Ludkovski, M. (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1458625>) For large data, Vecchia-approximation for faster computation is leveraged (Sauer, A., Cooper, A., and Gramacy, R., (2023), <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2129662>). Incorporates OpenMP and SNOW parallelization and utilizes C'/'C++ under the hood.

Implementation of algorithms for cutting numerical values exhibiting a potentially highly skewed distribution into evenly distributed groups (bins). This functionality can be applied for binning discrete values, such as counts, as well as for discretization of continuous values, for example, during generation of features used in machine learning algorithms.

Allows to compare the goodness of fit of Benford's and Blondeau Da Silva's digit distributions in a dataset. It is used to check whether the data distribution is consistent with theoretical distributions highlighted by Blondeau Da Silva or not (through the dat.distr() function): this ideal theoretical distribution must be at least approximately followed by the data for the use of Blondeau Da Silva's model to be well-founded. It also enables to plot histograms of digit distributions, both observed in the dataset and given by the two theoretical approaches (with the digit.ditr() function). Finally, it proposes to quantify the goodness of fit via Pearson's chi-squared test (with the chi2() function).

Bayesian analysis of multivariate receptor modeling. The package consists of implementations of the methods of Park and Oh (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2015.08.021>.The package uses JAGS'(Just Another Gibbs Sampler) to generate Markov chain Monte Carlo samples of parameters.

This package provides high-level modeling functions to define and train models using the torch R package. Models include linear, logistic, and multinomial regression as well as multilayer perceptrons.

This package performs Bayesian estimation of the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model. The method is explained in Crossa, J., Perez-Elizalde, S., Jarquin, D., Cotes, J.M., Viele, K., Liu, G. and Cornelius, P.L. (2011) (<doi:10.2135/cropsci2010.06.0343>).

Bootstrap based goodness-of-fit tests. It allows to perform rigorous statistical tests to check if a chosen model family is correct based on the marked empirical process. The implemented algorithms are described in (Dikta and Scheer (2021) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-73480-0>) and can be applied to generalized linear models without any further implementation effort. As far as certain linearity conditions are fulfilled the resampling scheme are also applicable beyond generalized linear models. This is reflected in the software architecture which allows to reuse the resampling scheme by implementing only certain interfaces for models that are not supported natively by the package.

Package for Bayesian Variable Selection and Model Averaging in linear models and generalized linear models using stochastic or deterministic sampling without replacement from posterior distributions. Prior distributions on coefficients are from Zellner's g-prior or mixtures of g-priors corresponding to the Zellner-Siow Cauchy Priors or the mixture of g-priors from Liang et al (2008) <DOI:10.1198/016214507000001337> for linear models or mixtures of g-priors from Li and Clyde (2019) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2018.1469992> in generalized linear models. Other model selection criteria include AIC, BIC and Empirical Bayes estimates of g. Sampling probabilities may be updated based on the sampled models using sampling w/out replacement or an efficient MCMC algorithm which samples models using a tree structure of the model space as an efficient hash table. See Clyde, Ghosh and Littman (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jcgs.2010.09049> for details on the sampling algorithms. Uniform priors over all models or beta-binomial prior distributions on model size are allowed, and for large p truncated priors on the model space may be used to enforce sampling models that are full rank. The user may force variables to always be included in addition to imposing constraints that higher order interactions are included only if their parents are included in the model.

Moreover, the package includes code for estimating several technical efficiency measures using different models such as the input and output-oriented radial measures, the input and output-oriented Russell measures, the Directional Distance Function (DDF), the Weighted Additive Measure (WAM) and the Slacks-Based Measure (SBM).

Co-clustering of the rows and columns of a contingency or binary matrix, or double binary matrices and model selection for the number of row and column clusters. Three models are considered: the Poisson latent block model for contingency matrix, the binary latent block model for binary matrix and a new model we develop: the multiple latent block model for double binary matrices. A new procedure named bikm1 is implemented to investigate more efficiently the grid of numbers of clusters. Then, the studied model selection criteria are the integrated completed likelihood (ICL) and the Bayesian integrated likelihood (BIC). Finally, the co-clustering adjusted Rand index (CARI) to measure agreement between co-clustering partitions is implemented.

Build and use B-splines for interpolation and regression. In case of regression, equality constraints as well as monotonicity and/or positivity of B-spline weights can be imposed. Moreover, knot positions can be on regular grid or be part of optimized parameters too (in addition to the spline weights). For this end, bspline is able to calculate Jacobian of basis vectors as function of knot positions. User is provided with functions calculating spline values at arbitrary points. These functions can be differentiated and integrated to obtain B-splines calculating derivatives/integrals at any point. B-splines of this package can simultaneously operate on a series of curves sharing the same set of knots. bspline is written with concern about computing performance that's why the basis and Jacobian calculation is implemented in C++. The rest is implemented in R but without notable impact on computing speed.

Generates nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals (Efron and Tibshirani, 1993: <doi:10.1201/9780429246593>) for standardized regression coefficients (beta) and other effect sizes, including multiple correlation, semipartial correlations, improvement in R-squared, squared partial correlations, and differences in standardized regression coefficients, for models fitted by lm().

Simulation and visualization depth-dependent integrated visual fields. Visual fields are measured monocularly at a single depth, yet real-life activities involve predominantly binocular vision at multiple depths. The package provides functions to simulate and visualize binocular visual field impairment in a depth-dependent fashion from monocular visual field results based on Ping Liu, Allison McKendrick, Anna Ma-Wyatt, Andrew Turpin (2019) <doi:10.1167/tvst.9.3.8>. At each location and depth plane, sensitivities are linearly interpolated from corresponding locations in monocular visual field and returned as the higher value of the two. Its utility is demonstrated by evaluating DD-IVF defects associated with 12 glaucomatous archetypes of 24-2 visual field pattern in the included shiny apps.

Bayesian MCPMod (Fleischer et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/pst.2193>) is an innovative method that improves the traditional MCPMod by systematically incorporating historical data, such as previous placebo group data. This R package offers functions for simulating, analyzing, and evaluating Bayesian MCPMod trials with normally distributed endpoints. It enables the assessment of trial designs incorporating historical data across various true dose-response relationships and sample sizes. Robust mixture prior distributions, such as those derived with the Meta-Analytic-Predictive approach (Schmidli et al. (2014) <doi:10.1111/biom.12242>), can be specified for each dose group. Resulting mixture posterior distributions are used in the Bayesian Multiple Comparison Procedure and modeling steps. The modeling step also includes a weighted model averaging approach (Pinheiro et al. (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6052>). Estimated dose-response relationships can be bootstrapped and visualized.
