Numerical integration of continuously differentiable functions f(x,y) over simple closed polygonal domains. The following cubature methods are implemented: product Gauss cubature (Sommariva and Vianello, 2007, <doi:10.1007/s10543-007-0131-2>), the simple two-dimensional midpoint rule (wrapping spatstat.geom functions), and adaptive cubature for radially symmetric functions via line integrate() along the polygon boundary (Meyer and Held, 2014, <doi:10.1214/14-AOAS743>, Supplement B). For simple integration along the axes, the cubature package is more appropriate.

Visualize the partitions of simple decision trees, involving one or two predictors, on the scale of the original data. Provides an intuitive alternative to traditional tree diagrams, by visualizing how a decision tree divides the predictor space in a simple 2D plot alongside the original data. The parttree package supports both classification and regression trees from rpart and partykit', as well as trees produced by popular frontend systems like tidymodels and mlr3'. Visualization methods are provided for both base R graphics and ggplot2'.

This package provides tools for anonymizing sensitive patient and research data. Helps protect privacy while keeping data useful for analysis. Anonymizes IDs, names, dates, locations, and ages while maintaining referential integrity. Methods based on: Sweeney (2002) <doi:10.1142/S0218488502001648>, Dwork et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14>, El Emam et al. (2011) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0028071>, Fung et al. (2010) <doi:10.1145/1749603.1749605>.

Fit a probabilistic index model as described in Thas et al, 2012: <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2011.01020.x>. The interface to the modeling function has changed in this new version. The old version is still available at R-Forge.

This package implements the Bayesian hierarchical model described by Wheldon, Raftery, Clark and Gerland (see: <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.737729>) for simultaneously estimating age-specific population counts, fertility rates, mortality rates and net international migration flows, at the national level.

This package provides tools for profiling a user-supplied log-likelihood function to calculate confidence intervals for model parameters. Speed of computation can be improved by adjusting the step sizes in the profiling and/or starting the profiling from limits based on the approximate large sample normal distribution for the maximum likelihood estimator of a parameter. The accuracy of the limits can be set by the user. A plot method visualises the log-likelihood and confidence interval. Cases where the profile log-likelihood flattens above the value at which a confidence limit is defined can be handled, leading to a limit at plus or minus infinity. Disjoint confidence intervals will not be found.

The Preference Selection Index Method was created in (2010) and provides an innovative approach to determining the relative importance of criteria without pairwise comparisons, unlike the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The Preference Selection Index Method uses statistical methods to calculate the criteria weights and reflects their relative importance in the final decision-making process, offering an objective and non-subjective solution. This method is beneficial in multi-criteria decision analysis. The PSIM package provides a practical and accessible tool for implementing the Preference Selection Index Method in R. It calculates the weights of criteria and makes the method available to researchers, analysts, and professionals without the need to develop complex calculations manually. More details about the Preference Selection Index Method can be found in Maniya K. and Bhatt M. G.(2010) <doi:10.1016/j.matdes.2009.11.020>.

This package performs genomic prediction of hybrid performance using eight statistical methods including GBLUP, BayesB, RKHS, PLS, LASSO, EN, LightGBM and XGBoost along with additive and additive-dominance models. Users are able to incorporate parental phenotypic information in all methods based on their specific needs. (Xu S et al(2017) <doi:10.1534/g3.116.038059>; Xu Y et al (2021) <doi: 10.1111/pbi.13458>).

This package performs statistical tests to compare coefficients and residual variance across models. Also provides graphical methods for assessing heterogeneity in coefficients and residuals. Currently supports linear and generalized linear models.

Fit calibrations curves for clinical prediction models and calculate several associated metrics (Eavg, E50, E90, Emax). Ideally predicted probabilities from a prediction model should align with observed probabilities. Calibration curves relate predicted probabilities (or a transformation thereof) to observed outcomes via a flexible non-linear smoothing function. pmcalibration allows users to choose between several smoothers (regression splines, generalized additive models/GAMs, lowess, loess). Both binary and time-to-event outcomes are supported. See Van Calster et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2015.12.005>; Austin and Steyerberg (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8281>; Austin et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8570>.

Because larger (> 50 MB) data files cannot easily be committed to git, a different approach is required to manage data associated with an analysis in a GitHub repository. This package provides a simple work-around by allowing larger (up to 2 GB) data files to piggyback on a repository as assets attached to individual GitHub releases. These files are not handled by git in any way, but instead are uploaded, downloaded, or edited directly by calls through the GitHub API. These data files can be versioned manually by creating different releases. This approach works equally well with public or private repositories. Data can be uploaded and downloaded programmatically from scripts. No authentication is required to download data from public repositories.

This package provides functions to perform paternity exclusion via allele matching, in autopolyploid species having ploidy 4, 6, or 8. The marker data used can be genotype data (copy numbers known) or allelic phenotype data (copy numbers not known).

This package provides a unified, computation-friendly framework for penalized principal machines (P2M), a class of sparse sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) estimators for regression and binary classification. Principal machines (PM) estimate the central subspace by solving a family of convex-loss problems over several cutoffs; their penalized counterparts (P2M) add a row-group sparsity penalty so that dimension reduction and variable selection are performed simultaneously. All estimators are fitted by a single group coordinate descent (GCD) algorithm that accommodates least squares, logistic, asymmetric least squares, L2-hinge, hinge (support vector machine, SVM) and quantile losses, together with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), the smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalty and the minimax concave penalty (MCP). Methods are described in Li, Artemiou and Li (2011) <doi:10.1214/11-AOS932>, Shin and Artemiou (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2016.12.003>, Artemiou, Dong and Shin (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.patcog.2020.107768> and Breheny and Huang (2015) <doi:10.1007/s11222-013-9424-2>.

The user may define an arbitrary Markov process for the trait and phylogeny. Importantly, trait-dependent speciation models are handled and fitted to data. See K. Bartoszek, P.
