Tabular data from statistical institutes and agencies are mostly confidential and must be protected prior to publications. The cell-key method is a post-tabular Statistical Disclosure Control perturbation technique that adds random noise to tabular data. The statistical properties of the perturbations are defined by some noise probability distributions - also referred to as perturbation tables. This tool can be used to create the perturbation tables based on a maximum entropy approach as described for example in Giessing (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-45381-1_18>. The perturbation tables created can finally be used to apply a cell-key method to frequency count or magnitude tables.

Optimization of conditional inference trees from the package party for classification and regression. For optimization, the model space is searched for the best tree on the full sample by means of repeated subsampling. Restrictions are allowed so that only trees are accepted which do not include pre-specified uninterpretable split results (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021a). The function PrInDT() represents the basic resampling loop for 2-class classification (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021a). The function RePrInDT() (repeated PrInDT()) allows for repeated applications of PrInDT() for different percentages of the observations of the large and the small classes (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021c). The function NesPrInDT() (nested PrInDT()) allows for an extra layer of subsampling for a specific factor variable (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021b). The functions PrInDTMulev() and PrInDTMulab() deal with multilevel and multilabel classification. In addition to these PrInDT() variants for classification, the function PrInDTreg() has been developed for regression problems. Finally, the function PostPrInDT() allows for a posterior analysis of the distribution of a specified variable in the terminal nodes of a given tree. In version 2, additionally structured sampling is implemented in functions PrInDTCstruc() and PrInDTRstruc(). In these functions, repeated measurements data can be analyzed, too. Moreover, multilabel 2-stage versions of classification and regression trees are implemented in functions C2SPrInDT() and R2SPrInDT() as well as interdependent multilabel models in functions SimCPrInDT() and SimRPrInDT(). Finally, for mixtures of classification and regression models functions Mix2SPrInDT() and SimMixPrInDT() are implemented. Most of these extensions of PrInDT are described in Buschfeld & Weihs (2025Fc). References: -- Buschfeld, S., Weihs, C.

Partitioning clustering divides the objects in a data set into non-overlapping subsets or clusters by using the prototype-based probabilistic and possibilistic clustering algorithms. This package covers a set of the functions for Fuzzy C-Means (Bezdek, 1974) <doi:10.1080/01969727308546047>, Possibilistic C-Means (Krishnapuram & Keller, 1993) <doi:10.1109/91.227387>, Possibilistic Fuzzy C-Means (Pal et al, 2005) <doi:10.1109/TFUZZ.2004.840099>, Possibilistic Clustering Algorithm (Yang et al, 2006) <doi:10.1016/j.patcog.2005.07.005>, Possibilistic C-Means with Repulsion (Wachs et al, 2006) <doi:10.1007/3-540-31662-0_6> and the other variants of hard and soft clustering algorithms. The cluster prototypes and membership matrices required by these partitioning algorithms are initialized with different initialization techniques that are available in the package inaparc'. As the distance metrics, not only the Euclidean distance but also a set of the commonly used distance metrics are available to use with some of the algorithms in the package.

Use probability theory under the Bayesian framework for calculating the risk of selecting candidates in a multi-environment context. Contained are functions used to fit a Bayesian multi-environment model (based on the available presets), extract posterior values and maximum posterior values, compute the variance components, check the modelâ s convergence, and calculate the probabilities. For both across and within-environments scopes, the package computes the probability of superior performance and the pairwise probability of superior performance. Furthermore, the probability of superior stability and the pairwise probability of superior stability across environments is estimated. A joint probability of superior performance and stability is also provided.

Recent years have seen an increased interest in novel methods for analyzing quantitative data from experimental psychology. Currently, however, they lack an established and accessible software framework. Many existing implementations provide no guidelines, consisting of small code snippets, or sets of packages. In addition, the use of existing packages often requires advanced programming experience. PredPsych is a user-friendly toolbox based on machine learning predictive algorithms. It comprises of multiple functionalities for multivariate analyses of quantitative behavioral data based on machine learning models.

The prevalence package provides Frequentist and Bayesian methods for prevalence assessment studies. IMPORTANT: the truePrev functions in the prevalence package call on JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler), which therefore has to be available on the user's system. JAGS can be downloaded from <https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/>.

Provision of a set of models and methods for use in the allocation and management of capital in financial portfolios.

Binding models which are useful when analysing protein-ligand interactions by techniques such as Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) or Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). Naman B. Shah, Thomas M. Duncan (2014) <doi:10.3791/51383>. Hoang H. Nguyen et al. (2015) <doi:10.3390/s150510481>. After initial binding parameters are known, binding curves can be simulated and parameters can be varied. The models within this package may also be used to fit a curve to measured binding data using non-linear regression.

This package implements an n-dimensional parameter space partitioning algorithm for evaluating the global behaviour of formal computational models as described by Pitt, Kim, Navarro and Myung (2006) <doi:10.1037/0033-295X.113.1.57>.

This package provides a set of functions to efficiently recognize and clean the continuous dorsal pattern of a female brown anole lizard (Anolis sagrei) traced from ImageJ', an open platform for scientific image analysis (see <https://imagej.net> for more information), and extract common features such as the pattern sinuosity indices, coefficient of variation, and max-min width.

This package provides a framework of interoperable R6 classes (Chang, 2020, <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=R6>) for building ensembles of viable models via the pattern-oriented modeling (POM) approach (Grimm et al.,2005, <doi:10.1126/science.1116681>). The package includes classes for encapsulating and generating model parameters, and managing the POM workflow. The workflow includes: model setup; generating model parameters via Latin hyper-cube sampling (Iman & Conover, 1980, <doi:10.1080/03610928008827996>); running multiple sampled model simulations; collating summary results; and validating and selecting an ensemble of models that best match known patterns. By default, model validation and selection utilizes an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) approach (Beaumont et al., 2002, <doi:10.1093/genetics/162.4.2025>), although alternative user-defined functionality could be employed. The package includes a spatially explicit demographic population model simulation engine, which incorporates default functionality for density dependence, correlated environmental stochasticity, stage-based transitions, and distance-based dispersal. The user may customize the simulator by defining functionality for translocations, harvesting, mortality, and other processes, as well as defining the sequence order for the simulator processes. The framework could also be adapted for use with other model simulators by utilizing its extendable (inheritable) base classes.
