(2016). <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2016.05.021>, and Mehrotra, R., & Sharma, A. (2006). <doi:10.1016/j.advwatres.2005.08.007>.

This package provides standardized access to a range of re-scaling methods for numerical vectors and time-series features calculated within the theft ecosystem.

The aim of nosoi (pronounced no.si) is to provide a flexible agent-based stochastic transmission chain/epidemic simulator (Lequime et al. Methods in Ecology and Evolution 11:1002-1007). It is named after the daimones of plague, sickness and disease that escaped Pandora's jar in the Greek mythology. nosoi is able to take into account the influence of multiple variable on the transmission process (e.g. dual-host systems (such as arboviruses), within-host viral dynamics, transportation, population structure), alone or taken together, to create complex but relatively intuitive epidemiological simulations.

Nested loop cross validation for classification purposes for misclassification error rate estimation. The package supports several methodologies for feature selection: random forest, Student t-test, limma, and provides an interface to the following classification methods in the MLInterfaces package: linear, quadratic discriminant analyses, random forest, bagging, prediction analysis for microarray, generalized linear model, support vector machine (svm and ksvm). Visualizations to assess the quality of the classifier are included: plot of the ranks of the features, scores plot for a specific classification algorithm and number of features, misclassification rate for the different number of features and classification algorithms tested and ROC plot. For further details about the methodology, please check: Markus Ruschhaupt, Wolfgang Huber, Annemarie Poustka, and Ulrich Mansmann (2004) <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1078>.

Facilitates network clustering and evaluation of cluster configurations.

Piecewise constant hazard functions are used to flexibly model survival distributions with non-proportional hazards and to simulate data from the specified distributions. A function to calculate weighted log-rank tests for the comparison of two hazard functions is included. Also, a function to calculate a test using the maximum of a set of test statistics from weighted log-rank tests (MaxCombo test) is provided. This test utilizes the asymptotic multivariate normal joint distribution of the separate test statistics. The correlation is estimated from the data. These methods are described in Ristl et al. (2021) <doi:10.1002/pst.2062>. Finally, a function is provided for the estimation and inferential statistics of various parameters that quantify the difference between two survival curves. Eligible parameters are differences in survival probabilities, log survival probabilities, complementary log log (cloglog) transformed survival probabilities, quantiles of the survival functions, log transformed quantiles, restricted mean survival times, as well as an average hazard ratio, the Cox model score statistic (logrank statistic), and the Cox-model hazard ratio. Adjustments for multiple testing and simultaneous confidence intervals are calculated using a multivariate normal approximation to the set of selected parameters.

Neighbourhood functions are key components of local-search algorithms such as Simulated Annealing or Threshold Accepting. These functions take a solution and return a slightly-modified copy of it, i.e. a neighbour. The package provides a function neighbourfun() that constructs such neighbourhood functions, based on parameters such as admissible ranges for elements in a solution. Supported are numeric and logical solutions. The algorithms were originally created for portfolio-optimisation applications, but can be used for other models as well. Several recipes for neighbour computations are taken from "Numerical Methods and Optimization in Finance" by M. Gilli, D. Maringer and E. Schumann (2019, ISBN:978-0128150658).

This allows you to generate reporting workflows around nlmixr2 analyses with outputs in Word and PowerPoint. You can specify figures, tables and report structure in a user-definable YAML file. Also you can use the internal functions to access the figures and tables to allow their including in other outputs (e.g. R Markdown).

This package provides utility functions and custom probability distribution for Bayesian analyses of radiocarbon dates within the nimble modelling framework. It includes various population growth models, nimbleFunction objects, as well as a suite of functions for prior and posterior predictive checks for demographic inference (Crema and Shoda (2021) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0251695>) and other analyses.

This package implements statistical tools for analyzing, simulating, and computing properties of the New Topp-Leone Kumaraswamy Inverse Exponential (NTLKwIEx) distribution. See Atchadé M, Otodji T, and Djibril A (2024) <doi:10.1063/5.0179458> and Atchadé M, Otodji T, Djibril A, and N'bouké M (2023) <doi:10.1515/phys-2023-0151> for details.

Setup, run and analyze NetLogo (<https://www.netlogo.org>) model simulations in R'. nlrx experiments use a similar structure as NetLogos Behavior Space experiments. However, nlrx offers more flexibility and additional tools for running and analyzing complex simulation designs and sensitivity analyses. The user defines all information that is needed in an intuitive framework, using class objects. Experiments are submitted from R to NetLogo via XML files that are dynamically written, based on specifications defined by the user. By nesting model calls in future environments, large simulation design with many runs can be executed in parallel. This also enables simulating NetLogo experiments on remote high performance computing machines. In order to use this package, Java and NetLogo (>= 5.3.1) need to be available on the executing system.

Calculate various functions needed for design and monitoring clinical trials with negative binomial endpoint with variable follow-up. This version has a few changes compared to the previous version 1.0.0, including (1) correct a typo in Type 1 censoring, mtbnull=bnull and (2) restructure the code to account for shape parameter equal to zero, i.e. Poisson scenario.

This data package contains the Item Response Theory (IRT) parameters for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) items used on the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) from 1990 to 2015. The values in these tables are used along with NAEP data to turn student item responses into scores and include information about item difficulty, discrimination, and guessing parameter for 3 parameter logit (3PL) items. Parameters for Generalized Partial Credit Model (GPCM) items are also included. The adjustments table contains the information regarding the treatment of items (e.g., deletion of an item or a collapsing of response categories), when these items did not appear to fit the item response models used to describe the NAEP data. Transformation constants change the score estimates that are obtained from the IRT scaling program to the NAEP reporting metric. Values from the years 2000 - 2013 were taken from the NCES website <https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/> and values from 1990 - 1998 and 2015 were extracted from their NAEP data files. All subtest names were reduced and homogenized to one word (e.g. "Reading to gain information" became "information"). The various subtest names for univariate transformation constants were all homogenized to "univariate".

This package provides a collection of statistical tools for objective (non-supervised) applications of the Regional Frequency Analysis methods in hydrology. The package refers to the index-value method and, more precisely, helps the hydrologist to: (1) regionalize the index-value; (2) form homogeneous regions with similar growth curves; (3) fit distribution functions to the empirical regional growth curves. Most of the methods are those described in the Flood Estimation Handbook (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, 1999, ISBN:9781906698003). Homogeneity tests from Hosking and Wallis (1993) <doi:10.1029/92WR01980> and Viglione et al. (2007) <doi:10.1029/2006WR005095> are available.

Nonparametric methods for analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are distribution-free and provide a flexible statistical framework for situations where the assumptions of parametric ANCOVA are violated or when the response variable is ordinal. This package implements several well-known nonparametric ANCOVA procedures, including Quade, Puri and Sen, McSweeney and Porter, Burnett and Barr, Hettmansperger and McKean, Shirley, and Puri-Sen-Harwell-Serlin. The package provides user-friendly functions to apply these methods in practice. These methods are described in Olejnik et al. (1985) <doi:10.1177/0193841X8500900104> and Harwell et al. (1988) <doi:10.1037/0033-2909.104.2.268>.
