Compiles functions to trim, bin, visualise, and analyse activity/sleep time-series data collected from the Drosophila Activity Monitor (DAM) system (Trikinetics, USA). The following methods were used to compute periodograms - Chi-square periodogram: Sokolove and Bushell (1978) <doi:10.1016/0022-5193(78)90022-X>, Lomb-Scargle periodogram: Lomb (1976) <doi:10.1007/BF00648343>, Scargle (1982) <doi:10.1086/160554> and Ruf (1999) <doi:10.1076/brhm.30.2.178.1422>, and Autocorrelation: Eijzenbach et al. (1986) <doi:10.1111/j.1440-1681.1986.tb00943.x>. Identification of activity peaks is done after using a Savitzky-Golay filter (Savitzky and Golay (1964) <doi:10.1021/ac60214a047>) to smooth raw activity data. Three methods to estimate anticipation of activity are used based on the following papers - Slope method: Fernandez et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.cub.2020.04.025>, Harrisingh method: Harrisingh et al. (2007) <doi:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3680-07.2007>, and Stoleru method: Stoleru et al. (2004) <doi:10.1038/nature02926>. Rose plots and circular analysis are based on methods from - Batschelet (1981) <ISBN:0120810506> and Zar (2010) <ISBN:0321656865>.

Price comparisons within or between countries provide an overall measure of the relative difference in prices, often denoted as price levels. This package provides index number methods for such price comparisons (e.g., The World Bank, 2011, <doi:10.1596/978-0-8213-9728-2>). Moreover, it contains functions for sampling and characterizing price data.

This package provides a semi-parametric estimation method for the Cox model with left-truncated data using augmented information from the marginal of truncation times.

This package provides randomization using permutation for applications. To provide a Quality Control (QC) check, QC samples can be randomized within strata. A second function allows for the ability to â switchâ samples to meet set requirements and perform a certain amount of minimization on these switches. The functions are flexible for users by specifying strata size and number of QC samples per strata. The randomization meets the following requirements â ¢ QC sample requirements: QC samples not adjacent, QC samples from same mother must follow certain patterns. â ¢ Matched sample sets must be within a single strata, and next to each other.

Simulation of species diversification, fossil records, and phylogenies. While the literature on species birth-death simulators is extensive, including important software like paleotree and APE', we concluded there were interesting gaps to be filled regarding possible diversification scenarios. Here we strove for flexibility over focus, implementing a large array of regimens for users to experiment with and combine. In this way, paleobuddy can be used in complement to other simulators as a flexible jack of all trades, or, in the case of scenarios implemented only here, can allow for robust and easy simulations for novel situations. Environmental data modified from that in RPANDA': Morlon H. et al (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12526>.

Design and analyze two-stage randomized trials with a continuous outcome measure. The package contains functions to compute the required sample size needed to detect a given preference, treatment, and selection effect; alternatively, the package contains functions that can report the study power given a fixed sample size. Finally, analysis functions are provided to test each effect using either summary data (i.e. means, variances) or raw study data <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.c02>.

Management problems of deterministic and stochastic projects. It obtains the duration of a project and the appropriate slack for each activity in a deterministic context. In addition it obtains a schedule of activities time (Castro, Gómez & Tejada (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.orl.2007.01.003>). It also allows the management of resources. When the project is done, and the actual duration for each activity is known, then it can know how long the project is delayed and make a fair delivery of the delay between each activity (Bergantiños, Valencia-Toledo & Vidal-Puga (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.dam.2017.08.012>). In a stochastic context it can estimate the average duration of the project and plot the density of this duration, as well as, the density of the early and last times of the chosen activities. As in the deterministic case, it can make a distribution of the delay generated by observing the project already carried out.

Perform scale linking to establish relationships between instruments that measure similar constructs according to the PROsetta Stone methodology, as in Choi, Schalet, Cook, & Cella (2014) <doi:10.1037/a0035768>.

Most of the time floating point arithmetic does approximately the right thing. When adding sums or having products of numbers that greatly differ in magnitude, the floating point arithmetic may be incorrect. This package implements the Kahan (1965) sum <doi:10.1145/363707.363723>, Neumaier (1974) sum <doi:10.1002/zamm.19740540106>, pairwise-sum (adapted from NumPy', See Castaldo (2008) <doi:10.1137/070679946> for a discussion of accuracy), and arbitrary precision sum (adapted from the fsum in Python ; Shewchuk (1997) <https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jrs/papers/robustr.pdf>). In addition, products are changed to long double precision for accuracy, or changed into a log-sum for accuracy.

This package provides functions for pooling/combining the results (i.e., p-values) from (dependent) hypothesis tests. Included are Fisher's method, Stouffer's method, the inverse chi-square method, the Bonferroni method, Tippett's method, and the binomial test. Each method can be adjusted based on an estimate of the effective number of tests or using empirically derived null distribution using pseudo replicates. For Fisher's, Stouffer's, and the inverse chi-square method, direct generalizations based on multivariate theory are also available (leading to Brown's method, Strube's method, and the generalized inverse chi-square method). An introduction can be found in Cinar and Viechtbauer (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v101.i01>.
