An R interface for processing concentration-response datasets using Curvep, a response noise filtering algorithm. The algorithm was described in the publications (Sedykh A et al. (2011) <doi:10.1289/ehp.1002476> and Sedykh A (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-6346-1_14>). Other parametric fitting approaches (e.g., Hill equation) are also adopted for ease of comparison. 3-parameter Hill equation from tcpl package (Filer D et al., <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw680>) and 4-parameter Hill equation from Curve Class2 approach (Wang Y et al., <doi:10.2174/1875397301004010057>) are available. Also, methods for calculating the confidence interval around the activity metrics are also provided. The methods are based on the bootstrap approach to simulate the datasets (Hsieh J-H et al. <doi:10.1093/toxsci/kfy258>). The simulated datasets can be used to derive the baseline noise threshold in an assay endpoint. This threshold is critical in the toxicological studies to derive the point-of-departure (POD).

This package provides a collection of functions to simulate dice rolls and the like. In particular, experiments and exercises can be performed looking at combinations and permutations of values in dice rolls and coin flips, together with the corresponding frequencies of occurrences. When applying each function, the user has to input the number of times (rolls, flips) to toss the dice. Needless to say, the more the tosses, the more the frequencies approximate the actual probabilities. Moreover, the package provides functions to generate non-transitive sets of dice (like Efron's) and to check whether a given set of dice is non-transitive with given probability.

Transfer REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) data to a database, specifically optimized for DuckDB'. Processes data in chunks to handle large datasets without exceeding available memory. Features include data labeling, coded value conversion, and hearing a "quack" sound on success.

The concept of reliable and clinically significant change (Jacobson & Truax, 1991) helps you answer the following questions for a sample with two measurements at different points in time (pre & post): Which proportion of my sample has a (considering the reliability of the instrument) probably not-just-by-chance difference in pre- vs. post-scores? Which proportion of my sample does not only change in a statistically significant way (see question one), but also in a clinically significant way (e.g. change from a test score regarded "dysfunctional" to a score regarded "functional")? This package allows you to very easily create a scatterplot of your sample in which the x-axis maps to the pre-scores, the y-axis maps to the post-scores and several graphical elements (lines, colors) allow you to gain a quick overview about reliable changes in these scores. An example of this kind of plot is Figure 2 of Jacobson & Truax (1991). Referenced article: Jacobson, N. S., & Truax, P. (1991) <doi:10.1037/0022-006X.59.1.12>.

This package performs both classical and robust panel clustering by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction and clustering via standard K-Means or Trimmed K-Means. The method is designed to ensure stable and reliable clustering, even in the presence of outliers. Suitable for analyzing panel data in domains such as economic research, financial time-series, healthcare analytics, and social sciences. The package allows users to choose between classical K-Means for standard clustering and Trimmed K-Means for robust clustering, making it a flexible tool for various applications. For this package, we have benefited from the studies Rencher (2003), Wang and Lu (2021) <DOI:10.25236/AJBM.2021.031018>, Cuesta-Albertos et al. (1997) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2242558?seq=1>.

Casting metadata for REDCap database creation and handling of castellated data using repeated instruments and longitudinal projects in REDCap'. Keeps a focused data export approach, by allowing to only export required data from the database. Also for casting new REDCap databases based on datasets from other sources. Originally forked from the R part of REDCapRITS by Paul Egeler. See <https://github.com/pegeler/REDCapRITS>. REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based software platform designed to support data capture for research studies, providing 1) an intuitive interface for validated data capture; 2) audit trails for tracking data manipulation and export procedures; 3) automated export procedures for seamless data downloads to common statistical packages; and 4) procedures for data integration and interoperability with external sources (Harris et al (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jbi.2008.08.010>; Harris et al (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jbi.2019.103208>).

Network-based regularization has achieved success in variable selection for high-dimensional biological data due to its ability to incorporate correlations among genomic features. This package provides procedures of network-based variable selection for generalized linear models (Ren et al. (2017) <doi:10.1186/s12863-017-0495-5> and Ren et al.(2019) <doi:10.1002/gepi.22194>). Continuous, binary, and survival response are supported. Robust network-based methods are available for continuous and survival responses.

Some heavily used base R functions are reconstructed to also be compliant to data.table objects. Also, some general helper functions that could be of interest for working with data.table objects are included.

Mappable vector library provides convenient way to access large datasets. Use all of your data at once, with few limits. Memory mapped data can be shared between multiple R processes. Access speed depends on storage medium, so solid state drive is recommended, preferably with PCI Express (or M.2 nvme) interface or a fast network file system. The data is memory mapped into R and then accessed using usual R list and array subscription operators. Convenience functions are provided for merging, grouping and indexing large vectors and data.frames. The layout of underlying MVL files is optimized for large datasets. The vectors are stored to guarantee alignment for vector intrinsics after memory map. The package is built on top of libMVL, which can be used as a standalone C library. libMVL has simple C API making it easy to interchange datasets with outside programs. Large MVL datasets are distributed via Academic Torrents <https://academictorrents.com/collection/mvl-datasets>.

Systematic conservation prioritization with robust optimization techniques. This is important because conservation prioritizations typically only consider the most likely outcome associated with a conservation action (e.g., establishing a protected area will safeguard a threatened species population) and fail to consider other outcomes and their consequences for meeting conservation objectives. By extending the prioritizr package, this package can be used to generate conservation prioritizations that account of uncertainty in the climate change scenario projections, species distribution models, ecosystem service models, and measurement errors. In particular, prioritizations can be generated to be fully robust to uncertainty by minimizing (or maximizing) objectives under the worst possible outcome. Since reducing the associated with achieving conservation objectives may sacrifice other objectives (e.g., minimizing protected area implementation costs), prioritizations can also be generated to be partially robust based on a specified confidence level parameter. Partially robust prioritizations can be generated based on the chance constrained programming problem (Charnes & Cooper 1959, <doi:10.1287/mnsc.6.1.73>) and the conditional value-at-risk problem (Rockafellar & Uryasev 2000, <doi:10.21314/JOR.2000.038>).

Estimates robust rank-based fixed effects and predicts robust random effects in two- and three- level random effects nested models. The methodology is described in Bilgic & Susmann (2013) <https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013/RJ-2013-027/>.
