This package provides various styles of function chaining methods: Pipe operator, Pipe object, and pipeline function, each representing a distinct pipeline model yet sharing almost a common set of features: A value can be piped to the first unnamed argument of a function and to dot symbol in an enclosed expression. The syntax is designed to make the pipeline more readable and friendly to a wide range of operations.

Be responsible when scraping data from websites by following polite principles: introduce yourself, ask for permission, take slowly and never ask twice.

This is a computational package designed to identify the most sensitive interactions within a network which must be estimated most accurately in order to produce qualitatively robust predictions to a press perturbation. This is accomplished by enumerating the number of sign switches (and their magnitude) in the net effects matrix when an edge experiences uncertainty. The package produces data and visualizations when uncertainty is associated to one or more edges in the network and according to a variety of distributions. The software requires the network to be described by a system of differential equations but only requires as input a numerical Jacobian matrix evaluated at an equilibrium point. This package is based on Koslicki, D., & Novak, M. (2017) <doi:10.1007/s00285-017-1163-0>.

Hybridization probes for target sequences can be made based on melting temperature value calculated by R package TmCalculator <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=TmCalculator> and methods extended from Beliveau, B. J.,(2018) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1714530115>, and those hybridization probes can be used to capture specific target regions in fluorescence in situ hybridization and next generation sequence experiments.

An extensible repository of accurate, up-to-date functions to score commonly used patient-reported outcome (PRO), quality of life (QOL), and other psychometric and psychological measures. PROscorer', together with the PROscorerTools package, is a system to facilitate the incorporation of PRO measures into research studies and clinical settings in a scientifically rigorous and reproducible manner. These packages and their vignettes are intended to help establish and promote best practices for scoring PRO and PRO-like measures in research. The PROscorer Instrument Descriptions vignette contains descriptions of each instrument scored by PROscorer', complete with references. These instrument descriptions are suitable for inclusion in formal study protocol documents, grant proposals, and manuscript Method sections. Each PROscorer function is composed of helper functions from the PROscorerTools package, and users are encouraged to contribute new functions to PROscorer'. More scoring functions are currently in development and will be added in future updates.

Utility functions for the handling, analysis and visualisation of data from portable emissions measurement systems ('PEMS') and other similar mobile activity monitoring devices. The package includes a dedicated pems data class that manages many of the quality control, unit handling and data archiving issues that can hinder efforts to standardise PEMS research.

This package provides functions and graphics for projecting daily incidence based on past incidence, and estimates of the serial interval and reproduction number. Projections are based on a branching process using a Poisson-distributed number of new cases per day, similar to the model used for estimating R in EpiEstim or in earlyR', and described by Nouvellet et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.epidem.2017.02.012>. The package provides the S3 class projections which extends matrix', with accessors and additional helpers for handling, subsetting, merging, or adding these objects, as well as dedicated printing and plotting methods.

This package provides a lightweight yet powerful framework for building robust data analysis pipelines. With pipeflow', you initialize a pipeline with your dataset and construct workflows step by step by adding R functions. You can modify, remove, or insert steps and parameters at any stage, while pipeflow ensures the pipeline's integrity. Overall, this package offers a beginner-friendly framework that simplifies and streamlines the development of data analysis pipelines by making them modular, intuitive, and adaptable.

This package provides functions to calculate power and sample size for testing (1) mediation effects; (2) the slope in a simple linear regression; (3) odds ratio in a simple logistic regression; (4) mean change for longitudinal study with 2 time points; (5) interaction effect in 2-way ANOVA; and (6) the slope in a simple Poisson regression.

Improves genotype inference and downstream Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire Sequence data analysis. Inference of allele similarity clusters, an alternative naming scheme and genotype inference for immunoglobulin heavy chain repertoires. The main tools are allele similarity clusters, and allele based genotype. The first tool is designed to reduce the ambiguity within the immunoglobulin heavy chain V alleles. The ambiguity is caused by duplicated or similar alleles which are shared among different genes. The second tool is an allele based genotype, that determined the presence of an allele based on a threshold derived from a naive population. See Peres et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkad603>.

This package provides an implementation of piecewise normalisation techniques useful when dealing with the communication of skewed and highly skewed data. It also provides utilities that recommends a normalisation technique based on the distribution of the data.

This package provides a suite of Propensity Score Predictive Inference (PSPI) methods to generalize treatment effects in trials to target populations. The package includes an existing model Bayesian Causal Forest (BCF) and four PSPI models (BCF-PS, FullBART, SplineBART, DSplineBART). These methods leverage Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) to adjust for high-dimensional covariates and nonlinear associations, while SplineBART and DSplineBART further use propensity score based splines to address covariate shift between trial data and target population.

This package provides functions for evaluating the mass density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random variate generation for the Polya-Aeppli distribution, also known as the geometric compound Poisson distribution. More information on the implementation can be found at Conrad J. Burden (2014) <arXiv:1406.2780>.

The aim of postpack is to provide the infrastructure for a standardized workflow for mcmc.list objects. These objects can be used to store output from models fitted with Bayesian inference using JAGS', WinBUGS', OpenBUGS', NIMBLE', Stan', or even custom MCMC algorithms. Although the coda R package provides some methods for these objects, it is somewhat limited in easily performing post-processing tasks for specific nodes. Models are ever increasing in their complexity and the number of tracked nodes, and oftentimes a user may wish to summarize/diagnose sampling behavior for only a small subset of nodes at a time for a particular question or figure. Thus, many postpack functions support performing tasks on a subset of nodes, where the subset is specified with regular expressions. The functions in postpack streamline the extraction, summarization, and diagnostics of specific monitored nodes after model fitting. Further, because there is rarely only ever one model under consideration, postpack scales efficiently to perform the same tasks on output from multiple models simultaneously, facilitating rapid assessment of model sensitivity to changes in assumptions.

It is often advantageous to test a hypothesis more than once in the context of propensity score analysis (Rosenbaum, 2012) <doi:10.1093/biomet/ass032>. The functions in this package facilitate bootstrapping for propensity score analysis (PSA). By default, bootstrapping using two classification tree methods (using rpart and ctree functions), two matching methods (using Matching and MatchIt packages), and stratification with logistic regression. A framework is described for users to implement additional propensity score methods. Visualizations are emphasized for diagnosing balance; exploring the correlation relationships between bootstrap samples and methods; and to summarize results.

We included functions to assess the performance of risk models. The package contains functions for the various measures that are used in empirical studies, including univariate and multivariate odds ratios (OR) of the predictors, the c-statistic (or area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC)), Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test, reclassification table, net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Also included are functions to create plots, such as risk distributions, ROC curves, calibration plot, discrimination box plot and predictiveness curves. In addition to functions to assess the performance of risk models, the package includes functions to obtain weighted and unweighted risk scores as well as predicted risks using logistic regression analysis. These logistic regression functions are specifically written for models that include genetic variables, but they can also be applied to models that are based on non-genetic risk factors only. Finally, the package includes function to construct a simulated dataset with genotypes, genetic risks, and disease status for a hypothetical population, which is used for the evaluation of genetic risk models.

Estimation of two- and three-way dynamic panel threshold regression models (Di Lascio and Perazzini (2024) <https://repec.unibz.it/bemps104.pdf>; Di Lascio and Perazzini (2022, ISBN:978-88-9193-231-0); Seo and Shin (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2016.03.005>) through the generalized method of moments based on the first difference transformation and the use of instrumental variables. The models can be used to find a change point detection in the time series. In addition, random number generation is also implemented.
