Naive discriminative learning implements learning and classification models based on the Rescorla-Wagner equations and their equilibrium equations.

This package provides functions for classifying sparseness in 2 x 2 categorical data where one or more cells have zero counts. The classification uses three widely applied summary measures: Risk Difference (RD), Relative Risk (RR), and Odds Ratio (OR). Helps in selecting suitable continuity corrections for zero cells in multi-centre or meta-analysis studies. Also supports sensitivity analysis and can detect phenomena such as Simpson's paradox. The methodology is based on Subbiah and Srinivasan (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2008.06.023>.

This package provides functions for specifying and fitting nested dichotomy logistic regression models for a multi-category response and methods for summarising and plotting those models. Nested dichotomies are statistically independent, and hence provide an additive decomposition of tests for the overall polytomous response. When the dichotomies make sense substantively, this method can be a simpler alternative to the standard multinomial logistic model which compares response categories to a reference level. See: J. Fox (2016), "Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models", 3rd Ed., ISBN 1452205663.

Computes the pdf, cdf, quantile function and generating random numbers for neutrosophic distributions. This family have been developed by different authors in the recent years. See Patro and Smarandache (2016) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.571153> and Rao et al (2023) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.7832786>.

This package provides a multi-core R package that contains a set of tools based on copula graphical models for accomplishing the three interrelated goals in genetics and genomics in an unified way: (1) linkage map construction, (2) constructing linkage disequilibrium networks, and (3) exploring high-dimensional genotype-phenotype network and genotype- phenotype-environment interactions networks. The netgwas package can deal with biparental inbreeding and outbreeding species with any ploidy level, namely diploid (2 sets of chromosomes), triploid (3 sets of chromosomes), tetraploid (4 sets of chromosomes) and so on. We target on high-dimensional data where number of variables p is considerably larger than number of sample sizes (p >> n). The computations is memory-optimized using the sparse matrix output. The netgwas implements the methodological developments in Behrouzi and Wit (2017) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12287> and Behrouzi and Wit (2017) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bty777>.

It provides a framework and a fast and simple way for researchers to evaluate methods (particularly some data-driven methods or their own methods) and then select a best one for data normalization in the gene expression analysis, based on the consistency of metrics and the consistency of datasets.

Illustrate graphically the most common Null Hypothesis Significance Testing procedures. More specifically, this package provides functions to plot Chi-Squared, F, t (one- and two-tailed) and z (one- and two-tailed) tests, by plotting the probability density under the null hypothesis as a function of the different test statistic values. Although highly flexible (color theme, fonts, etc.), only the minimal number of arguments (observed test statistic, degrees of freedom) are necessary for a clear and useful graph to be plotted, with the observed test statistic and the p value, as well as their corresponding value labels. The axes are automatically scaled to present the relevant part and the overall shape of the probability density function. This package is especially intended for education purposes, as it provides a helpful support to help explain the Null Hypothesis Significance Testing process, its use and/or shortcomings.

Sample sizes are often small due to hard to reach target populations, rare target events, time constraints, limited budgets, or ethical considerations. Two statistical methods with promising performance in small samples are the nonparametric bootstrap test with pooled resampling method, which is the focus of Dwivedi, Mallawaarachchi, and Alvarado (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7263>, and informative hypothesis testing, which is implemented in the restriktor package. The npboottprmFBar package uses the nonparametric bootstrap test with pooled resampling method to implement informative hypothesis testing. The bootFbar() function can be used to analyze data with this method and the persimon() function can be used to conduct performance simulations on type-one error and statistical power.

Perform non-bipartite matching and matched randomization. A "bipartite" matching utilizes two separate groups, e.g. smokers being matched to nonsmokers or cases being matched to controls. A "non-bipartite" matching creates mates from one big group, e.g. 100 hospitals being randomized for a two-arm cluster randomized trial or 5000 children who have been exposed to various levels of secondhand smoke and are being paired to form a greater exposure vs. lesser exposure comparison. At the core of a non-bipartite matching is a N x N distance matrix for N potential mates. The distance between two units expresses a measure of similarity or quality as mates (the lower the better). The gendistance() and distancematrix() functions assist in creating this. The nonbimatch() function creates the matching that minimizes the total sum of distances between mates; hence, it is referred to as an "optimal" matching. The assign.grp() function aids in performing a matched randomization. Note bipartite matching can be performed using the prevent option in gendistance()'.
