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.

The queueing model of visual search models the accuracy and response time data in a visual search experiment using queueing models with finite customer population and stopping criteria of completing the service for finite number of customers. It implements the conceptualization of a hybrid model proposed by Moore and Wolfe (2001), in which visual stimuli enter the processing one after the other and then are identified in parallel. This package provides functions that simulate the specified queueing process and calculate the Wasserstein distance between the empirical response times and the model prediction.

High-throughput analysis of growth curves and fluorescence data using three methods: linear regression, growth model fitting, and smooth spline fit. Analysis of dose-response relationships via smoothing splines or dose-response models. Complete data analysis workflows can be executed in a single step via user-friendly wrapper functions. The results of these workflows are summarized in detailed reports as well as intuitively navigable R data containers. A shiny application provides access to all features without requiring any programming knowledge. The package is described in further detail in Wirth et al. (2023) <doi:10.1038/s41596-023-00850-7>.

This package provides the function qqtest which incorporates uncertainty in its qqplot display(s) so that the user might have a better sense of the evidence against the specified distributional hypothesis. qqtest draws a quantile quantile plot for visually assessing whether the data come from a test distribution that has been defined in one of many ways. The vertical axis plots the data quantiles, the horizontal those of a test distribution. The default behaviour generates 1000 samples from the test distribution and overlays the plot with shaded pointwise interval estimates for the ordered quantiles from the test distribution. A small number of independently generated exemplar quantile plots can also be overlaid. Both the interval estimates and the exemplars provide different comparative information to assess the evidence provided by the qqplot for or against the hypothesis that the data come from the test distribution (default is normal or gaussian). Finally, a visual test of significance (a lineup plot) can also be displayed to test the null hypothesis that the data come from the test distribution.

This package implements the Quantification Evidence Standard algorithm for computing Bayesian evidence sufficiency from binary evidence matrices. It provides posterior estimates, credible intervals, percentiles, and optional visual summaries. The method is universal, reproducible, and independent of any specific clinical or rule based framework. For details see The Quantitative Omics Epidemiology Group et al. (2025) <doi:10.64898/2025.12.02.25341503>.

Provides pointwise and uniform confidence intervals using analytic and resampling methods.

This package implements the robust algorithm for fitting finite mixture models based on quantile regression proposed by Emir et al., 2017 (unpublished).

The Ensemble Quadratic and Affine Invariant Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms provide an efficient way to perform Bayesian inference in difficult parameter space geometries. The Ensemble Quadratic Monte Carlo algorithm was developed by Militzer (2023) <doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ace1f1>. The Ensemble Affine Invariant algorithm was developed by Goodman and Weare (2010) <doi:10.2140/camcos.2010.5.65> and it was implemented in Python by Foreman-Mackey et al (2013) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1202.3665>. The Quadratic Monte Carlo method was shown to perform better than the Affine Invariant method in the paper by Militzer (2023) <doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ace1f1> and the Quadratic Monte Carlo method is the default method used. The Chen-Shao Highest Posterior Density Estimation algorithm is used for obtaining credible intervals and the potential scale reduction factor diagnostic is used for checking the convergence of the chains.

In the spirit of Anscombe's quartet, this package includes datasets that demonstrate the importance of visualizing your data, the importance of not relying on statistical summary measures alone, and why additional assumptions about the data generating mechanism are needed when estimating causal effects. The package includes "Anscombe's Quartet" (Anscombe 1973) <doi:10.1080/00031305.1973.10478966>, D'Agostino McGowan & Barrett (2023) "Causal Quartet" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2304.02683>, "Datasaurus Dozen" (Matejka & Fitzmaurice 2017), "Interaction Triptych" (Rohrer & Arslan 2021) <doi:10.1177/25152459211007368>, "Rashomon Quartet" (Biecek et al. 2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2302.13356>, and Gelman "Variation and Heterogeneity Causal Quartets" (Gelman et al. 2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2302.12878>.

Presents an explanatory animation of normal quantile-quantile plots based on a water-filling analogy. The animation presents a normal QQ plot as the parametric plot of the water levels in vases defined by two distributions. The distributions decorate the axes in the normal QQ plot and are optionally shown as vases adjacent to the plot. The package draws QQ plots for several distributions, either as samples or continuous functions.

This package provides functions are provided that implement the use of the Fieller's formula methodology, for calculating a confidence interval for a ratio of (commonly, correlated) means. See Fieller (1954) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1954.tb00159.x>. Here, the application of primary interest is to studies of insect mortality response to increasing doses of a fumigant, or, e.g., to time in coolstorage. The formula is used to calculate a confidence interval for the dose or time required to achieve a specified mortality proportion, commonly 0.5 or 0.99. Vignettes demonstrate link functions that may be considered, checks on fitted models, and alternative choices of error family. Note in particular the betabinomial error family.

Offers a suite of functions to prepare questionnaire data for analysis (perhaps other types of data as well). By data preparation, I mean data analytic tasks to get your raw data ready for statistical modeling (e.g., regression). There are functions to investigate missing data, reshape data, validate responses, recode variables, score questionnaires, center variables, aggregate by groups, shift scores (i.e., leads or lags), etc. It provides functions for both single level and multilevel (i.e., grouped) data. With a few exceptions (e.g., ncases()), functions without an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., center_by()) act on atomic vectors, while functions with an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., centers_by()) act on multiple columns of a data.frame.

It includes test for multivariate normality, test for uniformity on the d-dimensional Sphere, non-parametric two- and k-sample tests, random generation of points from the Poisson kernel-based density and clustering algorithm for spherical data.

This package provides a collection of (wrapper) functions the creator found useful for quickly placing data summaries and formatted regression results into .Rnw or .Rmd files. Functions for generating commonly used graphics, such as receiver operating curves or Bland-Altman plots, are also provided by qwraps2'. qwraps2 is an updated version of a package qwraps'. The original version qwraps was never submitted to CRAN but can be found at <https://github.com/dewittpe/qwraps/>. The implementation and limited scope of the functions within qwraps2 <https://github.com/dewittpe/qwraps2/> is fundamentally different from qwraps'.
