This package provides a reliable and flexible toolbox to score patient-reported outcome (PRO), Quality of Life (QOL), and other psychometric measures. The guiding philosophy is that scoring errors can be eliminated by using a limited number of well-tested, well-behaved functions to score PRO-like measures. The workhorse of the package is the scoreScale function, which can be used to score most single-scale measures. It can reverse code items that need to be reversed before scoring and pro-rate scores for missing item data. Currently, three different types of scores can be output: summed item scores, mean item scores, and scores scaled to range from 0 to 100. The PROscorerTools functions can be used to write new functions that score more complex measures. In fact, PROscorerTools functions are the building blocks of the scoring functions in the PROscorer package (which is a repository of functions that score specific commonly-used instruments). Users are encouraged to use PROscorerTools to write scoring functions for their favorite PRO-like instruments, and to submit these functions for inclusion in PROscorer (a tutorial vignette will be added soon). The long-term vision for the PROscorerTools and PROscorer packages is to provide an easy-to-use system to facilitate the incorporation of PRO measures into research studies in a scientifically rigorous and reproducible manner. These packages and their vignettes are intended to help establish and promote "best practices" for scoring and describing PRO-like measures in research.

Provide multinomial design methods under intersection-union test (IUT) and union-intersection test (UIT) scheme for Phase II trial. The design types include : Minimax (minimize the maximum sample size), Optimal (minimize the expected sample size), Admissible (minimize the Bayesian risk) and Maxpower (maximize the exact power level).

The Pearson-ICA algorithm is a mutual information-based method for blind separation of statistically independent source signals. It has been shown that the minimization of mutual information leads to iterative use of score functions, i.e. derivatives of log densities. The Pearson system allows adaptive modeling of score functions. The flexibility of the Pearson system makes it possible to model a wide range of source distributions including asymmetric distributions. The algorithm is designed especially for problems with asymmetric sources but it works for symmetric sources as well.

An implementation of prediction intervals for overdispersed count data, for overdispersed binomial data and for linear random effects models.

This package contains logic for computing the statistical association of variable groups, i.e., gene sets, with respect to the principal components of genomic data.

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 tools for auditing, validating, and preparing panel datasets before statistical analysis. Functions identify duplicate unit-time observations, missing unit-time cells, panel gaps, and balance issues. The package also provides audit summaries, row-level diagnostic flags, panel-completion utilities, and a concise audit report.

This package provides a visualization toolkit for preferential data, such as ranked-choice election results, tournament outcomes, and survey responses. The package provides methods to visualise the preference distribution of one contest with bar charts and pairwise comparisons of two contestants, as well as methods to visualise multiple contests through 2D and high-dimensional simplex plots both statically and interactively. HD simplex displays are implemented via projection methods using the tourr and detourr packages, enabling dynamic exploration of high-dimensional preference structure. For more details on HD simplex projection, see Wickham et al. (2011) <doi:10.21105/joss.03419>.

Bivariate additive categorical regression via penalized maximum likelihood. Under a multinomial framework, the method fits bivariate models where both responses are nominal, ordinal, or a mix of the two. Partial proportional odds models are supported, with flexible (non-)uniform association structures. Various logit types and parametrizations can be specified for both marginals and the association, including Daleâ s model. The association structure can be regularized using polynomial-type penalty terms. Additive effects are modeled using P-splines. Standard methods such as summary(), residuals(), and predict() are available.

An application to calculate a patient's pretest probability (PTP) for obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) from a collection of guidelines or studies. Guidelines usually comes from the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC) or European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Examples of PTP scores that comes from studies are the 2020 Winther et al. basic, Risk Factor-weighted Clinical Likelihood (RF-CL) and Coronary Artery Calcium Score-weighted Clinical Likelihood (CACS-CL) models <doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2020.09.585>, 2019 Reeh et al. basic and clinical models <doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehy806> and 2017 Fordyce et al. PROMISE Minimal-Risk Tool <doi:10.1001/jamacardio.2016.5501>. As diagnosis of CAD involves a costly and invasive coronary angiography procedure for patients, having a reliable PTP for CAD helps doctors to make better decisions during patient management. This ensures high risk patients can be diagnosed and treated early for CAD while avoiding unnecessary testing for low risk patients.

This package provides functions to get prediction intervals and prediction points of future observations from any continuous distribution.

This package provides a parallel estimation method for generalized linear models without compiling with a multithreaded LAPACK or BLAS.

Structured fusion Lasso penalized estimation of multi-state models with the penalty applied to absolute effects and absolute effect differences (i.e., effects on transition-type specific hazard rates).

This package implements optimization techniques for Lasso regression, R.Tibshirani(1996)<doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02080.x> using Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA) and Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (ISTA) based on proximal operators, A.Beck(2009)<doi:10.1137/080716542>. The package is useful for high-dimensional regression problems and includes cross-validation procedures to select optimal penalty parameters.

Algorithms to speed up the Bayesian Lasso Cox model (Lee et al., Int J Biostat, 2011 <doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1301>) and the Bayesian Lasso Cox with mandatory variables (Zucknick et al. Biometrical J, 2015 <doi:10.1002/bimj.201400160>).

Computes sample size and power for causal inference studies that use propensity score (PS) weighting. Supports continuous, binary, and time-to-event (survival) outcomes under four estimands: average treatment effect (ATE), average treatment effect on the treated (ATT), average treatment effect on the controls (ATC), and average treatment effect on the overlap population (ATO). For continuous and binary outcomes, the asymptotic variance of the Hajek inverse probability weighting estimator is derived under a logit-normal propensity score model, approximated by a Beta distribution matched through the Bhattacharyya overlap coefficient. For survival outcomes, the asymptotic variance of the propensity-score- weighted partial likelihood estimator is used for randomized trials and observational studies. The Schoenfeld formula is also available for randomized trial settings.

Generalized inversion, tomographic inversion algorithms (conjugate gradients, ART and SIRT'), non-linear least squares, first and second order Tikhonov regularization, roughness constraints, and procedures for estimating smoothing parameters are included.
