This package contains a module to define neural networks from custom components and versions of Autoencoder, BP, LVQ, MAM NN.

This package provides a bootstrap method for Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) that relies on the underlying structure of the RDS network to estimate uncertainty.

This package provides Scilab n1qn1'. This takes more memory than traditional L-BFGS. The n1qn1 routine is useful since it allows prespecification of a Hessian. If the Hessian is near enough the truth in optimization it can speed up the optimization problem. The algorithm is described in the Scilab optimization documentation located at <https://www.scilab.org/sites/default/files/optimization_in_scilab.pdf>. This version uses manually modified code from f2c to make this a C only binary.

Clinical reporting figures require to use consistent colors and configurations. As a part of the Roche open-source clinical reporting project, namely the NEST project, the nestcolor package specifies the color code and default theme with specifying ggplot2 theme parameters. Users can easily customize color and theme settings before using the reset of NEST packages to ensure consistent settings in both static and interactive output at the downstream.

This package contains a collection of functions for performing different kinds of calculation that are of interest to someone following a diet plan. Calculators for the Basal Metabolic Rate are based on Mifflin et al. (1990) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/51.2.241> and McArdle, W. D., Katch, F. I., & Katch, V. L. (2010, ISBN:9780812109917).

Computes various geospatial indices of socioeconomic deprivation and disparity in the United States. Some indices are considered "spatial" because they consider the values of neighboring (i.e., adjacent) census geographies in their computation, while other indices are "aspatial" because they only consider the value within each census geography. Two types of aspatial neighborhood deprivation indices (NDI) are available: including: (1) based on Messer et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/s11524-006-9094-x> and (2) based on Andrews et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/17445647.2020.1750066> and Slotman et al. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.dib.2022.108002> who use variables chosen by Roux and Mair (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2009.05333.x>. Both are a decomposition of multiple demographic characteristics from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (ACS-5; 2006-2010 onward). Using data from the ACS-5 (2005-2009 onward), the package can also compute indices of racial or ethnic residential segregation, including but limited to those discussed in Massey & Denton (1988) <doi:10.1093/sf/67.2.281>, and additional indices of socioeconomic disparity.

There are three distinct approaches for phase error correction, they are: a single linear model with a choice of optimization functions, multiple linear models with optimization function choices and a shrinkage-based method. The methodology is based on our new algorithms and various references (Binczyk et al. (2015) <doi:10.1186/1475-925X-14-S2-S5>,Chen et al. (2002) <doi:10.1016/S1090-7807(02)00069-1>, de Brouwer (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jmr.2009.09.017>, Džakula (2000) <doi:10.1006/jmre.2000.2123>, Ernst (1969) <doi:10.1016/0022-2364(69)90003-1>, Liland et al. (2010) <doi:10.1366/000370210792434350>).

This package provides a flexible statistical framework for network-valued data analysis. It leverages the complexity of the space of distributions on graphs by using the permutation framework for inference as implemented in the flipr package. Currently, only the two-sample testing problem is covered and generalization to k samples and regression will be added in the future as well. It is a 4-step procedure where the user chooses a suitable representation of the networks, a suitable metric to embed the representation into a metric space, one or more test statistics to target specific aspects of the distributions to be compared and a formula to compute the permutation p-value. Two types of inference are provided: a global test answering whether there is a difference between the distributions that generated the two samples and a local test for localizing differences on the network structure. The latter is assumed to be shared by all networks of both samples. References: Lovato, I., Pini, A., Stamm, A., Vantini, S.

Network is a prevalent form of data structure in many fields. As an object of analysis, many distance or metric measures have been proposed to define the concept of similarity between two networks. We provide a number of distance measures for networks. See Jurman et al (2011) <doi:10.3233/978-1-60750-692-8-227> for an overview on spectral class of inter-graph distance measures.

This package provides statistical methods for network meta-analysis of 1â 5 diagnostic tests to simultaneously compare multiple tests within a missing data framework, including: - Bayesian hierarchical model for network meta-analysis of multiple diagnostic tests (Ma, Lian, Chu, Ibrahim, and Chen (2018) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxx025>) - Bayesian Hierarchical Summary Receiver Operating Characteristic Model for Network Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Tests (Lian, Hodges, and Chu (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1476239>).

Replacement for nls() tools for working with nonlinear least squares problems. The calling structure is similar to, but much simpler than, that of the nls() function. Moreover, where nls() specifically does NOT deal with small or zero residual problems, nlmrt is quite happy to solve them. It also attempts to be more robust in finding solutions, thereby avoiding singular gradient messages that arise in the Gauss-Newton method within nls(). The Marquardt-Nash approach in nlmrt generally works more reliably to get a solution, though this may be one of a set of possibilities, and may also be statistically unsatisfactory. Added print and summary as of August 28, 2012.

Perform non-bipartite matching and matched randomization. A "bipartite" matching utilizes two separate groups, e.g. smokers being matched to nonsmokers or cases being matched to controls. A "non-bipartite" matching creates mates from one big group, e.g. 100 hospitals being randomized for a two-arm cluster randomized trial or 5000 children who have been exposed to various levels of secondhand smoke and are being paired to form a greater exposure vs. lesser exposure comparison. At the core of a non-bipartite matching is a N x N distance matrix for N potential mates. The distance between two units expresses a measure of similarity or quality as mates (the lower the better). The gendistance() and distancematrix() functions assist in creating this. The nonbimatch() function creates the matching that minimizes the total sum of distances between mates; hence, it is referred to as an "optimal" matching. The assign.grp() function aids in performing a matched randomization. Note bipartite matching can be performed using the prevent option in gendistance()'.

The n-vector framework uses the normal vector to the Earth ellipsoid (called n-vector) as a non-singular position representation that turns out to be very convenient for practical position calculations. The n-vector is simple to use and gives exact answers for all global positions, and all distances, for both ellipsoidal and spherical Earth models. This package is a translation of the Matlab library from FFI, the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, as described in Gade (2010) <doi:10.1017/S0373463309990415>.

Calculates spatial pattern analysis using a T-square sample procedure. This method is based on two measures "x" and "y". "x" - Distance from the random point to the nearest individual. "y" - Distance from individual to its nearest neighbor. This is a methodology commonly used in phytosociology or marine benthos ecology to analyze the species distribution (random, uniform or clumped patterns). Ludwig & Reynolds (1988, ISBN:0471832359).

This package implements the framework presented in Cucci, D. A., Voirol, L., Khaghani, M. and Guerrier, S. (2023) <doi:10.1109/TIM.2023.3267360> which allows to analyze the impact of sensor error modeling on the performance of integrated navigation (sensor fusion) based on inertial measurement unit (IMU), Global Positioning System (GPS), and barometer data. The framework relies on Monte Carlo simulations in which a Vanilla Extended Kalman filter is coupled with realistic and user-configurable noise generation mechanisms to recover a reference trajectory from noisy measurements. The evaluation of several statistical metrics of the solution, aggregated over hundreds of simulated realizations, provides reasonable estimates of the expected performances of the system in real-world conditions.
