This package provides tools that facilitate ordinary differential equation (ODE) modeling in R'. This package allows one to perform simulations for ODE models that are encoded in the GNU MCSim model specification language (Bois, 2009) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btp162> using ODE solvers from the R package deSolve (Soetaert et al., 2010) <doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i09>.

Meta-analysis traditionally assigns more weight to studies with lower standard errors, assuming higher precision. However, in observational research, precision must be estimated and is vulnerable to manipulation, such as p-hacking, to achieve statistical significance. This can lead to spurious precision, invalidating inverse-variance weighting and bias-correction methods like funnel plots. Common methods for addressing publication bias, including selection models, often fail or exacerbate the problem. This package introduces an instrumental variable approach to limit bias caused by spurious precision in meta-analysis. Methods are described in Irsova et al. (2025) <doi:10.1038/s41467-025-63261-0>.

The model.matrix() function in R is convenient for transforming training dataset for modeling. But it does not save any parameter used in transformation, so it is hard to apply the same transformation to test dataset or new dataset. This package is created to solve the problem.

This package provides a flexible computational framework for mixture distributions with the focus on the composite models.

This package implements the Multi-Objective Clustering Algorithm Guided by a-Priori Biological Knowledge ('MOC-GaPBK') proposed by Parraga-Alava and others (2018) <doi:10.1186/s13040-018-0178-4>. The algorithm performs gene clustering using NSGA-II as the underlying multi-objective evolutionary engine, together with Path-Relinking and Pareto Local Search as intensification and diversification strategies. Two versions of the Xie-Beni validity index are used as objective functions, one per distance matrix, so that prior biological knowledge can be incorporated through the second matrix.

Methods are described in Kim et al. (2026) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2025.12.006>.
