An interface to the Apache OpenNLP tools (version 1.5.3). The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text written in Java. It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. See <https://opennlp.apache.org/> for more information.

Generates n hierarchical clustering hypotheses on subsets of classifiers (usually species in community ecology studies). The n clustering hypotheses are combined to generate a generalized cluster, and computes three metrics of support. 1) The average proportion of elements conforming the group in each of the n clusters (integrity). And 2) the contamination, i.e., the average proportion of elements from other groups that enter a focal group. 3) The probability of existence of the group gives the integrity and contamination in a Bayesian approach.

Assessment and diagnostics for comparing competing clustering solutions, using predictive models. The main intended use is for comparing clustering/classification solutions of ecological data (e.g. presence/absence, counts, ordinal scores) to 1) find an optimal partitioning solution, 2) identify characteristic species and 3) refine a classification by merging clusters that increase predictive performance. However, in a more general sense, this package can do the above for any set of clustering solutions for i observations of j variables.

Fits ordinal regression models with elastic net penalty. Supported model families include cumulative probability, stopping ratio, continuation ratio, and adjacent category. These families are a subset of vector glm's which belong to a model class we call the elementwise link multinomial-ordinal (ELMO) class. Each family in this class links a vector of covariates to a vector of class probabilities. Each of these families has a parallel form, which is appropriate for ordinal response data, as well as a nonparallel form that is appropriate for an unordered categorical response, or as a more flexible model for ordinal data. The parallel model has a single set of coefficients, whereas the nonparallel model has a set of coefficients for each response category except the baseline category. It is also possible to fit a model with both parallel and nonparallel terms, which we call the semi-parallel model. The semi-parallel model has the flexibility of the nonparallel model, but the elastic net penalty shrinks it toward the parallel model. For details, refer to Wurm, Hanlon, and Rathouz (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v099.i06>.

Algorithms for ordinal causal discovery. This package aims to enable users to discover causality for observational ordinal categorical data with greedy and exhaustive search.

All the methods in this package generate a vector of uniform order statistics using a beta distribution and use an inverse cumulative distribution function for some distribution to give a vector of random order statistic variables for some distribution. This is much more efficient than using a loop since it is directly sampling from the order statistic distribution.

This package provides rectangular elements that can be dragged and resized over plots in shiny apps. This may be useful in applications where users need to mark regions on the plot for further input or processing.

Provide functionality for cancer subtyping using nearest centroids or machine learning methods based on TCGA data.

This package provides functions to construct confidence intervals for the Overlap Coefficient (OVL). OVL measures the similarity between two distributions through the overlapping area of their distribution functions. Given its intuitive description and ease of visual representation by the straightforward depiction of the amount of overlap between the two corresponding histograms based on samples of measurements from each one of the two distributions, the development of accurate methods for confidence interval construction can be useful for applied researchers. Implements methods based on the work of Franco-Pereira, A.M., Nakas, C.T., Reiser, B., and Pardo, M.C. (2021) <doi:10.1177/09622802211046386> as well as extensions for multimodal distributions proposed by Alcaraz-Peñalba, A., Franco-Pereira, A., and Pardo, M.C. (2025) <doi:10.1007/s10182-025-00545-2>.

I tend to repeat the same code chunks over and over again. At first, this was fine for me and I paid little attention to such redundancies. A little later, when I got tired of manually replacing Linux filepaths with the referring Windows versions, and vice versa, I started to stuff some very frequently used work-steps into functions and, even later, into a proper R package. And that's what this package is - a hodgepodge of various R functions meant to simplify (my) everyday-life coding work without, at the same time, being devoted to a particular scope of application.

The client streamlines access to the services provided by <https://api.openrouteservice.org>. It allows you to painlessly query for directions, isochrones, time-distance matrices, geocoding, elevation, points of interest, and more.

Inference using a class of Hidden Markov models (HMMs) called oHMMed'(ordered HMM with emission densities <doi:10.1186/s12859-024-05751-4>): The oHMMed algorithms identify the number of comparably homogeneous regions within observed sequences with autocorrelation patterns. These are modelled as discrete hidden states; the observed data points are then realisations of continuous probability distributions with state-specific means that enable ordering of these distributions. The observed sequence is labelled according to the hidden states, permitting only neighbouring states that are also neighbours within the ordering of their associated distributions. The parameters that characterise these state-specific distributions are then inferred. Relevant for application to genomic sequences, time series, or any other sequence data with serial autocorrelation.

The comprehensive knowledge of epigenetic modifications in plants, encompassing histone modifications in regulating gene expression, is not completely ingrained. It is noteworthy that histone deacetylation and histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) play a role in repressing transcription in eukaryotes. In contrast, histone acetylation (H3K9ac) and H3K4me3 have been inevitably linked to the stimulation of gene expression, which significantly influences plant development and plays a role in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. To our knowledge this the first multiclass classifier for predicting histone modification in plants. <doi:10.1186/s12864-019-5489-4>.

This package provides functions for creating ensembles of optimal trees for regression, classification (Khan, Z., Gul, A., Perperoglou, A., Miftahuddin, M., Mahmoud, O., Adler, W., & Lausen, B. (2019). (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11634-019-00364-9>) and class membership probability estimation (Khan, Z, Gul, A, Mahmoud, O, Miftahuddin, M, Perperoglou, A, Adler, W & Lausen, B (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-25226-1_34>) are given. A few trees are selected from an initial set of trees grown by random forest for the ensemble on the basis of their individual and collective performance. Three different methods of tree selection for the case of classification are given. The prediction functions return estimates of the test responses and their class membership probabilities. Unexplained variations, error rates, confusion matrix, Brier scores, etc. are also returned for the test data.
