The use of overparameterization is proposed with combinatorial analysis to test a broader spectrum of possible ARIMA models. In the selection of ARIMA models, the most traditional methods such as correlograms or others, do not usually cover many alternatives to define the number of coefficients to be estimated in the model, which represents an estimation method that is not the best. The popstudy package contains several tools for statistical analysis in demography and time series based in Shryock research (Shryock et. al. (1980) <https://books.google.co.cr/books?id=8Oo6AQAAMAAJ>).

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/>.

R API for Pathling', a tool for querying and transforming electronic health record data that is represented using the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard - see <https://pathling.csiro.au/docs>.

This software has evolved from fisheries research conducted at the Pacific Biological Station (PBS) in Nanaimo', British Columbia, Canada. It extends the R language to include two-dimensional plotting features similar to those commonly available in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Embedded C code speeds algorithms from computational geometry, such as finding polygons that contain specified point events or converting between longitude-latitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Additionally, we include C++ code developed by Angus Johnson for the Clipper library, data for a global shoreline, and other data sets in the public domain. Under the user's R library directory .libPaths()', specifically in ./PBSmapping/doc', a complete user's guide is offered and should be consulted to use package functions effectively.

This package contains a dataset of words used in 15.000 randomly extracted pages from the Portuguese Wikipedia (<https://pt.wikipedia.org/>).

The semiparametric accelerated failure time (AFT) model is an attractive alternative to the Cox proportional hazards model. This package provides a suite of functions for fitting one popular rank-based estimator of the semiparametric AFT model, the regularized Gehan estimator. Specifically, we provide functions for cross-validation, prediction, coefficient extraction, and visualizing both trace plots and cross-validation curves. For further details, please see Suder, P. M. and Molstad, A. J., (2022) Scalable algorithms for semiparametric accelerated failure time models in high dimensions, Statistics in Medicine <doi:10.1002/sim.9264>.

Nonparametric density estimation for (hyper)spherical data by means of a parametrically guided kernel estimator (Alonso-Pena et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12737>. The package also allows the data-driven selection of the smoothing parameter and the representation of the estimated density for circular and spherical data. Estimators of the density without guide can also be obtained.

This package provides functions to create high-quality, publication-ready plots for numeric and categorical data, including bar plots, violin plots, boxplots, line plots, error bars, correlation plots, linear model plots, odds ratio plots, and normality plots.

This package provides additional functions for evaluating predictive models, including plotting calibration curves and model-based Receiver Operating Characteristic (mROC) based on Sadatsafavi et al (2021) <arXiv:2003.00316>.

Likelihood based population viability analysis in the presence of observation error and missing data. The package can be used to fit, compare, predict, and forecast various growth model types using data cloning.

Easy function for text-mining the PubMed repository based on defined sets of terms. The relationship between fix-terms (related to your research topic) and pub-terms (terms which pivot around your research focus) is calculated using the pointwise mutual information algorithm ('PMI'). Church, Kenneth Ward and Hanks, Patrick (1990) <https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/J90-1003/> A text file is generated with the PMI'-scores for each fix-term. Then for each collocation pairs (a fix-term + a pub-term), a text file is generated with related article titles and publishing years. Additional Author section will follow in the next version updates.

Compute and tune some positive definite and sparse covariance estimators.

This package infers the trends of one or several animal populations over time from series of counts. It does so by accounting for count precision (provided or inferred based on expert knowledge, e.g. guesstimates), smoothing the population rate of increase over time, and accounting for the maximum demographic potential of species. Inference is carried out in a Bayesian framework. This work is part of the FRB-CESAB working group AfroBioDrivers <https://www.fondationbiodiversite.fr/en/the-frb-in-action/programs-and-projects/le-cesab/afrobiodrivers/>.

This package provides a comprehensive and easy to use R implementation of confirmatory phylogenetic path analysis as described by Von Hardenberg and Gonzalez-Voyer (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1558-5646.2012.01790.x>.

Carrying out inferences about any linear combination of proportions and the ratio of two proportions.

This package provides convenience functions to fetch standardized phylogenetic trees and per-tree provenance metadata from the Phylo-Species Atlas <https://github.com/franciscorichter/phylo-species-atlas> directly from R. The atlas is a curated collection of empirical species-level trees covering Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota, organized into 62 partitions of life with tip labels normalized against a shared dictionary of standardized species identifiers. Functions load any of the standardized trees with species labels resolved from the dictionary, list available trees, and inspect per-tree provenance.

The PDE (Pdf Data Extractor) allows the extraction of information and tables optionally based on search words from PDF (Portable Document Format) files and enables the visualization of the results, both by providing a convenient user-interface.

Set the R prompt dynamically, from a function. The package contains some examples to include various useful dynamic information in the prompt: the status of the last command (success or failure); the amount of memory allocated by the current R process; the name of the R package(s) loaded by pkgload and/or devtools'; various git information: the name of the active branch, whether it is dirty, if it needs pushes pulls. You can also create your own prompt if you don't like the predefined examples.

Identification of the most appropriate pharmacotherapy for each patient based on genomic alterations is a major challenge in personalized oncology. PANACEA is a collection of personalized anti-cancer drug prioritization approaches utilizing network methods. The methods utilize personalized "driverness" scores from driveR to rank drugs, mapping these onto a protein-protein interaction network. The "distance-based" method scores each drug based on these scores and distances between drugs and genes to rank given drugs. The "RWR" method propagates these scores via a random-walk with restart framework to rank the drugs. The methods are described in detail in Ulgen E, Ozisik O, Sezerman OU. 2023. PANACEA: network-based methods for pharmacotherapy prioritization in personalized oncology. Bioinformatics <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btad022>.

The Prognostic Regression Offsets with Propagation of ERrors (for Treatment Effect Estimation) package facilitates direct adjustment for experiments and observational studies that is compatible with a range of study designs and covariance adjustment strategies. It uses explicit specification of clusters, blocks and treatment allocations to furnish probability of assignment-based weights targeting any of several average treatment effect parameters, and for standard error calculations reflecting these design parameters. For covariance adjustment of its Hajek and (one-way) fixed effects estimates, it enables offsetting the outcome against predictions from a dedicated covariance model, with standard error calculations propagating error as appropriate from the covariance model.

This package provides a small, dependency-free way to generate random names. Methods provided include the adjective-surname approach of Docker containers ('<https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/names-generator.go>'), and combinations of common English or Spanish words.

This is an implementation of the partial profile score feature selection (PPSFS) approach to generalized linear (interaction) models. The PPSFS is highly scalable even for ultra-high-dimensional feature space. See the paper by Xu, Luo and Chen (2022) <doi:10.4310/21-SII706>.

Applies phylogenetic comparative methods (PCM) and phylogenetic trait imputation using structural equation models (SEM), extending methods from Thorson et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14076>. This implementation includes a minimal set of features, to allow users to easily read all of the documentation and source code. PCM using SEM includes phylogenetic linear models and structural equation models as nested submodels, but also allows imputation of missing values. Features and comparison with other packages are described in Thorson and van der Bijl (2023) <doi:10.1111/jeb.14234>.

Pre-testing and diagnostic tools for panel data analysis. Researchers should run these tests before any panel regression to verify modelling assumptions. The package implements: (1) the Hsiao (2014, <ISBN:978-1-107-65763-2>) homogeneity F-tests (F1/F2/F3), Swamy (1970) <doi:10.2307/1913012> parameter heterogeneity test, and Pesaran (2004) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.572504> cross-sectional dependence test via xtpretest(); (2) missing-data detection, mechanism testing, and imputation for unbalanced panels via xtmispanel(); (3) quantile-regression cross-sectional dependence tests (T_tau and T-tilde_tau statistics) of Demetrescu, Hosseinkouchack and Rodrigues (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.09.001> via xtcsdq(); and (4) the panel quantile-regression slope homogeneity S-hat and D-hat statistics of Galvao, Juhl, Montes-Rojas and Olmo (2017) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2015.1054493> via xtqsh(). Together these tests address three fundamental pre-testing questions: (i) are slopes homogeneous? (ii) is there cross-sectional dependence? and (iii) is the panel balanced and is missingness ignorable?
