This package implements the Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (QADF) unit root test proposed by Koenker and Xiao (2004) <doi:10.1198/016214504000001114>. The test examines unit root behaviour across the conditional distribution of a time series using quantile regression, providing a richer characterisation of persistence than standard ADF tests. Critical values follow Hansen (1995) <doi:10.1017/S0266466600009713>. Lag order selection is supported via AIC, BIC, or the t-statistic sequential testing approach.

Allows practitioners to determine (i) if two univariate distributions (which can be continuous, discrete, or even mixed) are equal, (ii) how two distributions differ (shape differences, e.g., location, scale, etc.), and (iii) where two distributions differ (at which quantiles), all using nonparametric LP statistics. The primary reference is Jungreis, D. (2019, Technical Report).

Univariate and multivariate SQC tools that completes and increases the SQC techniques available in R. Apart from integrating different R packages devoted to SQC ('qcc','MSQC'), provides nonparametric tools that are highly useful when Gaussian assumption is not met. This package computes standard univariate control charts for individual measurements, X-bar', S', R', p', np', c', u', EWMA and CUSUM'. In addition, it includes functions to perform multivariate control charts such as Hotelling T2', MEWMA and MCUSUM'. As representative feature, multivariate nonparametric alternatives based on data depth are implemented in this package: r', Q and S control charts. In addition, Phase I and II control charts for functional data are included. This package also allows the estimation of the most complete set of capability indices from first to fourth generation, covering the nonparametric alternatives, and performing the corresponding capability analysis graphical outputs, including the process capability plots. See Flores et al. (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-034>.

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.

Densitometric evaluation of the photo-archived quantitative thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates.

For fitting N-mixture models using either FFT or asymptotic approaches. FFT N-mixture models extend the work of Cowen et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12701>. Asymptotic N-mixture models extend the work of Dail and Madsen (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2010.01465.x>, to consider asymptotic solutions to the open population N-mixture models. The FFT models are derived and described in "Parker, M.R.P., Elliott, L., Cowen, L.L.E. (2022). Computational efficiency and precision for replicated-count and batch-marked hidden population models [Manuscript in preparation]. Department of Statistics and Actuarial Sciences, Simon Fraser University.". The asymptotic models are derived and described in: "Parker, M.R.P., Elliott, L., Cowen, L.L.E., Cao, J. (2022). Fast asymptotic solutions for N-mixtures on large populations [Manuscript in preparation]. Department of Statistics and Actuarial Sciences, Simon Fraser University.".

This package implements the Quantitative Classification-based on Association Rules (QCBA) algorithm (<doi:10.1007/s10489-022-04370-x>). QCBA postprocesses rule classification models making them typically smaller and in some cases more accurate. Supported are CBA implementations from rCBA', arulesCBA and arc packages, and CPAR', CMAR', FOIL2 and PRM implementations from arulesCBA package and SBRL implementation from the sbrl package. The result of the post-processing is an ordered CBA-like rule list.

This package provides functions for making run charts [Anhoej, Olesen (2014) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0113825>] and basic Shewhart control charts [Mohammed, Worthington, Woodall (2008) <doi:10.1136/qshc.2004.012047>] for measure and count data. The main function, qic(), creates run and control charts and has a simple interface with a rich set of options to control data analysis and plotting, including options for automatic data aggregation by subgroups, easy analysis of before-and-after data, exclusion of one or more data points from analysis, and splitting charts into sequential time periods. Missing values and empty subgroups are handled gracefully.

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

This package provides functions to convert text data for labelling into format appropriate for importing into Qualtrics. Supports multiple language, including right-to-left scripts as well as different response types. Outputs an Advance Format .txt file that read into Qualtrics.

Joint estimation of quantile specific intercept and slope parameters in a linear regression setting.

Routines in qtl2 to study allele patterns in quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping over a chromosome. Useful in crosses with more than two alleles to identify how sets of alleles, genetically different strands at the same locus, have different response levels. Plots show profiles over a chromosome. Can handle multiple traits together. See <https://github.com/byandell/qtl2pattern>.

This package produces quality scores for each of the US companies from the Russell 3000, following the approach described in "Quality Minus Junk" (Asness, Frazzini, & Pedersen, 2013) <http://www.aqr.com/library/working-papers/quality-minus-junk>. The package includes datasets for users who wish to view the most recently uploaded quality scores. It also provides tools to automatically gather relevant financials and stock price information, allowing users to update their data and customize their universe for further analysis.

Mortality rates are typically provided in an abridged format, i.e., by age groups 0, [1, 5], [5, 10]', [10, 15]', and so on. Some applications necessitate a detailed (single) age description. Despite the large number of proposed approaches in the literature, only a few methods ensure great performance at both younger and higher ages. For example, the 6-term Lagrange interpolation function is well suited to mortality interpolation at younger ages (with irregular intervals), but not at older ages. The Karup-King method, on the other hand, performs well at older ages but is not suitable for younger ones. Interested readers can find a full discussion of the two stated methods in the book Shryock, Siegel, and Associates (1993).The Q2q package combines the two methods to allow for the interpolation of mortality rates across all age groups. It begins by implementing each method independently, and then the resulting curves are linked using a 5-age averaged error between the two partial curves.

This package provides functions for constructing near-optimal generalized full matching. Generalized full matching is an extension of the original full matching method to situations with more intricate study designs. The package is made with large data sets in mind and derives matches more than an order of magnitude quicker than other methods.

This package provides a no-frills open-source solution for designing plot labels affixed with QR codes. It features EasyQrlabelr', a BrAPI-compliant shiny app that simplifies the process of plot label design for non-R users. It builds on the methods described by Wu et al. (2020) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13405>.

The quantity-intensity (Q/I) relationships, first introduced by Beckett (1964), can be employed to assess the K supplying capacity of different soils based on solid-solution exchange equilibria. Such relationships describe the changes in K+ concentration in the soil solution (or the intensity factor) in relation to the corresponding changes in K+ at exchange sites of the soil (or the capacity or quantity factor). Activity ratio of K to Ca or Ca+Mg is generally used as the variable denoting the intensity, whereas, change in exchangeable K is used to denote the quantity factor.

See Haaf and Rouder (2017) <doi:10.1037/met0000156>; Haaf, Klaassen and Rouder (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/a4xu9>; and Rouder & Haaf (2021) <doi:10.5334/joc.131>.

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the q-gaussian distribution with parameters mu and sig.

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.
