Simulates a 5 qubit Quantum Computer and evaluates quantum circuits with 1,2 qubit quantum gates.

Function that implements the Quantum Genetic Algorithm, first proposed by Han and Kim in 2000. This is an R implementation of the python application developed by Lahoz-Beltra (<https://github.com/ResearchCodesHub/QuantumGeneticAlgorithms>). Each optimization problem is represented as a maximization one, where each solution is a sequence of (qu)bits. Following the quantum paradigm, these qubits are in a superposition state: when measuring them, they collapse in a 0 or 1 state. After measurement, the fitness of the solution is calculated as in usual genetic algorithms. The evolution at each iteration is oriented by the application of two quantum gates to the amplitudes of the qubits: (1) a rotation gate (always); (2) a Pauli-X gate (optionally). The rotation is based on the theta angle values: higher values allow a quicker evolution, and lower values avoid local maxima. The Pauli-X gate is equivalent to the classical mutation operator and determines the swap between alfa and beta amplitudes of a given qubit. The package has been developed in such a way as to permit a complete separation between the engine, and the particular problem subject to combinatorial optimization.

This package provides functions for estimating the potential dispersal of tree species using regeneration densities and dispersal distances to nearest seed trees. A quantile regression is implemented to determine the dispersal potential. Spatial prediction can be used to identify natural regeneration potential for forest restoration as described in Axer et al (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118802>.

Estimation and inference methods for the cross-quantilogram. The cross-quantilogram is a measure of nonlinear dependence between two variables, based on either unconditional or conditional quantile functions. It can be considered an extension of the correlogram, which is a correlation function over multiple lag periods that mainly focuses on linear dependency. One can use the cross-quantilogram to detect the presence of directional predictability from one time series to another. This package provides a statistical inference method based on the stationary bootstrap. For detailed theoretical and empirical explanations, see Linton and Whang (2007) for univariate time series analysis and Han, Linton, Oka and Whang (2016) for multivariate time series analysis. The full references for these key publications are as follows: (1) Linton, O., and Whang, Y. J. (2007). The quantilogram: with an application to evaluating directional predictability.

This package provides functions for estimating ploidy levels and detecting aneuploidy in individuals using allele intensities or allele count data from high-throughput genotyping platforms, including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays and sequencing-based technologies. Implements an extended version of the PennCNV signal standardization method by Wang et al. (2007) <doi:10.1101/gr.6861907> for higher ploidy levels. Computes B-allele frequencies (BAF), z-scores, and identifies copy number variation patterns.

Researchers working with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) can use the package to estimate power of a sufficient term using permutation tests. A term can be anything: A condition, conjunction or disjunction of any combination of these. The package further allows users to plot the estimation results and to estimate the number of cases required to achieve a certain level of power, given a prespecified null and alternative hypothesis. Reference for the article introducing power estimation for QCA is: Rohlfing, Ingo (2018) <doi:10.1017/pan.2017.30> (ungated version: <doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/PC4DF>).

This package provides tools for (automated and manual) quality control of the results of Epigenome-Wide Association Studies.

The computation of quadratic form (QF) distributions is often not trivial and it requires numerical routines. The package contains functions aimed at evaluating the exact distribution of quadratic forms (QFs) and ratios of QFs. In particular, we propose to evaluate density, quantile and distribution functions of positive definite QFs and ratio of independent positive QFs by means of an algorithm based on the numerical inversion of Mellin transforms.

Parametric modeling of quantile regression coefficient functions.

This package provides an infrastructure for efficient processing of large-scale genetic and phenotypic data including core functions for: 1) fitting linear mixed models, 2) constructing marker-based genomic relationship matrices, 3) estimating genetic parameters (heritability and correlation), 4) performing genomic prediction and genetic risk profiling, and 5) single or multi-marker association analyses.

This package provides methods for estimation of mean- and quantile-optimal treatment regimes from censored data. Specifically, we have developed distinct functions for three types of right censoring for static treatment using quantile criterion: (1) independent/random censoring, (2) treatment-dependent random censoring, and (3) covariates-dependent random censoring. It also includes a function to estimate quantile-optimal dynamic treatment regimes for independent censored data. Finally, this package also includes a simulation data generative model of a dynamic treatment experiment proposed in literature.

Developed to perform the estimation and inference for regression coefficient parameters in longitudinal marginal models using the method of quadratic inference functions. Like generalized estimating equations, this method is also a quasi-likelihood inference method. It has been showed that the method gives consistent estimators of the regression coefficients even if the correlation structure is misspecified, and it is more efficient than GEE when the correlation structure is misspecified. Based on Qu, A., Lindsay, B.G. and Li, B. (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.4.823>.

Evaluates moments of ratios (and products) of quadratic forms in normal variables, specifically using recursive algorithms developed by Bao and Kan (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2013.03.002> and Hillier et al. (2014) <doi:10.1017/S0266466613000364>. Also provides distribution, quantile, and probability density functions of simple ratios of quadratic forms in normal variables with several algorithms. Originally developed as a supplement to Watanabe (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00285-023-01930-8> for evaluating average evolvability measures in evolutionary quantitative genetics, but can be used for a broader class of statistics. Generating functions for these moments are also closely related to the top-order zonal and invariant polynomials of matrix arguments.
