Learning and using the Metropolis algorithm for Bayesian fitting of a generalized linear model. The package vignette includes examples of hand-coding a logistic model using several variants of the Metropolis algorithm. The package also contains R functions for simulating posterior distributions of Bayesian generalized linear model parameters using guided, adaptive, guided-adaptive and random walk Metropolis algorithms. The random walk Metropolis algorithm was originally described in Metropolis et al (1953); <doi:10.1063/1.1699114>.

Given independent and identically distributed observations X(1), ..., X(n) from a density f, provides five methods to perform a multiscale analysis about f as well as the necessary critical values. The first method, introduced in Duembgen and Walther (2008), provides simultaneous confidence statements for the existence and location of local increases (or decreases) of f, based on all intervals I(all) spanned by any two observations X(j), X(k). The second method approximates the latter approach by using only a subset of I(all) and is therefore computationally much more efficient, but asymptotically equivalent. Omitting the additive correction term Gamma in either method offers another two approaches which are more powerful on small scales and less powerful on large scales, however, not asymptotically minimax optimal anymore. Finally, the block procedure is a compromise between adding Gamma or not, having intermediate power properties. The latter is again asymptotically equivalent to the first and was introduced in Rufibach and Walther (2010).

The package also provides a number of higher level functions for exploring and manipulating markdown abstract syntax trees as well as translating and displaying the documents.

This package provides a leadership-inference framework for multivariate time series. The framework for multiple-faction-leadership inference from coordinated activities or mFLICA uses a notion of a leader as an individual who initiates collective patterns that everyone in a group follows. Given a set of time series of individual activities, our goal is to identify periods of coordinated activity, find factions of coordination if more than one exist, as well as identify leaders of each faction. For each time step, the framework infers following relations between individual time series, then identifying a leader of each faction whom many individuals follow but it follows no one. A faction is defined as a group of individuals that everyone follows the same leader. mFLICA reports following relations, leaders of factions, and members of each faction for each time step.

The package computes comparative evaluation measures including Spearman rank correlation (Spearman, 1904) <doi:10.2307/1412107>, Salabun-Urbaniak's weight similarity index (Salabun and Urbaniak, 2020)<doi:10.1007/978-3-030-50417-5_47>, Wilcoxon signed-rank test (Wilcoxon, 1945)<doi:10.2307/3001968>, and permutation- and bootstrap- based entropy difference tests for pairwise method comparisons using Jensen-Shannon divergence (Lin, 1991)<doi:10.1109/18.61115>. It also provides sensitivity and stability analysis of MCDA results. Weight sensitivity analysis is implemented through deterministic and stochastic perturbation of criterion weights, and is also integrated as a built-in step within the MEGAN method framework (Cebeci, 2026)<doi:10.7717/peerj-cs.3819>.

This package provides a toolbox to train a single sample classifier that uses in-sample feature relationships. The relationships are represented as feature1 < feature2 (e.g. gene1 < gene2). We provide two options to go with. First is based on switchBox package which uses Top-score pairs algorithm. Second is a novel implementation based on random forest algorithm. For simple problems we recommend to use one-vs-rest using TSP option due to its simplicity and for being easy to interpret. For complex problems RF performs better. Both lines filter the features first then combine the filtered features to make the list of all the possible rules (i.e. rule1: feature1 < feature2, rule2: feature1 < feature3, etc...). Then the list of rules will be filtered and the most important and informative rules will be kept. The informative rules will be assembled in an one-vs-rest model or in an RF model. We provide a detailed description with each function in this package to explain the filtration and training methodology in each line.

This package provides functions for analyzing the association between one single response categorical variable (SRCV) and one multiple response categorical variable (MRCV), or between two or three MRCVs. A modified Pearson chi-square statistic can be used to test for marginal independence for the one or two MRCV case, or a more general loglinear modeling approach can be used to examine various other structures of association for the two or three MRCV case. Bootstrap- and asymptotic-based standardized residuals and model-predicted odds ratios are available, in addition to other descriptive information.
