This package provides specialized color palettes representing phenological transitions and biological lifecycles within Philippine landscapes. Rather than abstract gradients, these scales are anchored to topologically grounded states such as agricultural maturity, seasonal vegetation shifts, and environmental readiness. Palettes are indexed against the Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt und CHemische Industrie (BBCH) scale (Meier, 2023) <https://www.openagrar.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/openagrar_derivate_00010428/BBCH-Skala_en.pdf> for terrestrial vegetation and the Reef Health Index (RHI) framework (McField and Kramer, 2007) <https://www.healthyreefs.org> for marine ecosystems. This ensures scientific interoperability across archipelagic spatial models, aligning with global standards for ecological state-transition modeling (Schwartz, 2013) <doi:10.1007/978-94-007-6925-0>.

Bayesian estimation and analysis methods for Probit Unfolding Models (PUMs), a novel class of scaling models designed for binary preference data. These models allow for both monotonic and non-monotonic response functions. The package supports Bayesian inference for both static and dynamic PUMs using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms with minimal or no tuning. Key functionalities include posterior sampling, hyperparameter selection, data preprocessing, model fit evaluation, and visualization. The methods are particularly suited to analyzing voting data, such as from the U.S. Congress or Supreme Court, but can also be applied in other contexts where non-monotonic responses are expected. For methodological details, see Shi et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2504.00423>.

Includes a collection of functions presented in "Measuring stability in ecological systems without static equilibria" by Clark et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/ecs2.4328> in Ecosphere. These can be used to estimate the parameters of a stochastic state space model (i.e. a model where a time series is observed with error). The goal of this package is to estimate the variability around a deterministic process, both in terms of observation error - i.e. variability due to imperfect observations that does not influence system state - and in terms of process noise - i.e. stochastic variation in the actual state of the process. Unlike classical methods for estimating variability, this package does not necessarily assume that the deterministic state is fixed (i.e. a fixed-point equilibrium), meaning that variability around a dynamic trajectory can be estimated (e.g. stochastic fluctuations during predator-prey dynamics).

Implementation of Probabilistic Regression Trees (PRTree), providing functions for model fitting and prediction, with specific adaptations to handle missing values. The main computations are implemented in Fortran for high efficiency. The package is based on the PRTree methodology described in Alkhoury et al.

Details on the treatment of missing data and implementation aspects are presented in Prass, T.S.; Neimaier, A.S.; Pumi, G. (2025), "Handling Missing Data in Probabilistic Regression Trees: Methods and Implementation in R" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.03634>.

We implement two least-squares estimators under k-monotony constraint using a method based on the Support Reduction Algorithm from Groeneboom et al (2008) <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9469.2007.00588.x>. The first one is a projection estimator on the set of k-monotone discrete functions. The second one is a projection on the set of k-monotone discrete probabilities.

Calculates, via simulation, power and appropriate stopping alpha boundaries (and/or futility bounds) for sequential analyses (i.e., group sequential design) as well as for multiple hypotheses (multiple tests included in an analysis), given any specified global error rate. This enables the sequential use of practically any significance test, as long as the underlying data can be simulated in advance to a reasonable approximation.

Learn optimal policies via doubly robust empirical welfare maximization over trees. Given doubly robust reward estimates, this package finds a rule-based treatment prescription policy, where the policy takes the form of a shallow decision tree that is globally (or close to) optimal.

This package contains a function to categorize accelerometer readings collected in free-living (e.g., for 24 hours/day for 7 days), preprocessed and compressed as counts (unit-less value) in a specified time period termed epoch (e.g., 1 minute) as either bedrest (sleep) or active. The input is a matrix with a timestamp column and a column with number of counts per epoch. The output is the same dataframe with an additional column termed bedrest. In the bedrest column each line (epoch) contains a function-generated classification br or a denoting bedrest/sleep and activity, respectively. The package is designed to be used after wear/nonwear marking function in the PhysicalActivity package. Version 1.1 adds preschool thresholds and corrects for possible errors in algorithm implementation.

This package provides a collection of tools to handle microsatellite data of any ploidy (and samples of mixed ploidy) where allele copy number is not known in partially heterozygous genotypes. It can import and export data in ABI GeneMapper', Structure', ATetra', Tetrasat'/'Tetra', GenoDive', SPAGeDi', POPDIST', STRand', and binary presence/absence formats. It can calculate pairwise distances between individuals using a stepwise mutation model or infinite alleles model, with or without taking ploidies and allele frequencies into account. These distances can be used for the calculation of clonal diversity statistics or used for further analysis in R. Allelic diversity statistics and Polymorphic Information Content are also available. polysat can assist the user in estimating the ploidy of samples, and it can estimate allele frequencies in populations, calculate pairwise or global differentiation statistics based on those frequencies, and export allele frequencies to SPAGeDi and adegenet'. Functions are also included for assigning alleles to isoloci in cases where one pair of microsatellite primers amplifies alleles from two or more independently segregating isoloci. polysat is described by Clark and Jasieniuk (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1755-0998.2011.02985.x> and Clark and Schreier (2017) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.12639>.

Application of the Partitioning-Around-Medoids (PAM) clustering algorithm described in Schubert, E. and Rousseeuw, P.J.: "Fast and eager k-medoids clustering: O(k) runtime improvement of the PAM, CLARA, and CLARANS algorithms." Information Systems, vol. 101, p. 101804, (2021). <doi:10.1016/j.is.2021.101804>. It uses a binary format for storing and retrieval of matrices developed for the jmatrix package but the functionality of jmatrix is included here, so you do not need to install it. Also, it is used by package scellpam', so if you have installed it, you do not need to install this package. PAM can be applied to sets of data whose dissimilarity matrix can be very big. It has been tested with up to 100.000 points. It does this with the help of the code developed for other package, jmatrix', which allows the matrix not to be loaded in R memory (which would force it to be of double type) but it gets from disk, which allows using float (or even smaller data types). Moreover, the dissimilarity matrix is calculated in parallel if the computer has several cores so it can open many threads. The initial part of the PAM algorithm can be done with the BUILD or LAB algorithms; the BUILD algorithm has been implemented in parallel. The optimization phase implements the FastPAM1 algorithm, also in parallel. Finally, calculation of silhouette is available and also implemented in parallel.
