NOTE: PARAMLINK HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE PEDSUITE PACKAGES (<https://magnusdv.github.io/pedsuite/>). PARAMLINK IS MAINTAINED ONLY FOR LEGACY PURPOSES AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN NEW PROJECTS. A suite of tools for analysing pedigrees with marker data, including parametric linkage analysis, forensic computations, relatedness analysis and marker simulations. The core of the package is an implementation of the Elston-Stewart algorithm for pedigree likelihoods, extended to allow mutations as well as complex inbreeding. Features for linkage analysis include singlepoint LOD scores, power analysis, and multipoint analysis (the latter through a wrapper to the MERLIN software). Forensic applications include exclusion probabilities, genotype distributions and conditional simulations. Data from the Familias software can be imported and analysed in paramlink'. Finally, paramlink offers many utility functions for creating, manipulating and plotting pedigrees with or without marker data (the actual plotting is done by the kinship2 package).

Full dynamic system to describe and forecast the spread and the severity of a developing pandemic, based on available data. These data are number of infections, hospitalizations, deaths and recoveries notified each day. The system consists of three transitions, infection-infection, infection-hospital and hospital-death/recovery. The intensities of these transitions are dynamic and estimated using non-parametric local linear estimators. The package can be used to provide forecasts and survival indicators such as the median time spent in hospital and the probability that a patient who has been in hospital for a number of days can leave it alive. Methods are described in Gámiz, Mammen, Martà nez-Miranda, and Nielsen (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.09918> and <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.09919>.

Inbreeding-purging analysis of pedigreed populations, including the computation of the inbreeding coefficient, partial, ancestral and purged inbreeding coefficients, and measures of the opportunity of purging related to the individual reduction of inbreeding load. In addition, functions to calculate the effective population size and other parameters relevant to population genetics are included. See López-Cortegano E. (2021) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab599>.

The goal of this package is to cover the most common steps in probability of default (PD) rating model development and validation. The main procedures available are those that refer to univariate, bivariate, multivariate analysis, calibration and validation. Along with accompanied monobin and monobinShiny packages, PDtoolkit provides functions which are suitable for different data transformation and modeling tasks such as: imputations, monotonic binning of numeric risk factors, binning of categorical risk factors, weights of evidence (WoE) and information value (IV) calculations, WoE coding (replacement of risk factors modalities with WoE values), risk factor clustering, area under curve (AUC) calculation and others. Additionally, package provides set of validation functions for testing homogeneity, heterogeneity, discriminatory and predictive power of the model.

This package provides a set of functions designed to calculate the standardised precipitation and standardised precipitation evapotranspiration indices using NASA POWER data as described in Blain et al. (2023) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4442843>. These indices are calculated using a reference data source. The functions verify if the indices estimates meet the assumption of normality and how well NASA POWER estimates represent real-world data. Indices are calculated in a routine mode. Potential evapotranspiration amounts and the difference between rainfall and potential evapotranspiration are also calculated. The functions adopt a basic time scale that splits each month into four periods. Days 1 to 7, days 8 to 14, days 15 to 21, and days 22 to 28, 29, 30, or 31, where TS=4 corresponds to a 1-month length moving window (calculated 4 times per month) and TS=48 corresponds to a 12-month length moving window (calculated 4 times per month).
