Generates pseudo-random vectors that follow an arbitrary von Mises-Fisher distribution on a sphere. This method is fast and efficient when generating a large number of pseudo-random vectors. Functions to generate random variates and compute density for the distribution of an inner product between von Mises-Fisher random vector and its mean direction are also provided.

Random-intercept accelerated failure time (AFT) model utilizing Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) for drawing causal inferences about multiple treatments while accounting for the multilevel survival data structure. It also includes an interpretable sensitivity analysis approach to evaluate how the drawn causal conclusions might be altered in response to the potential magnitude of departure from the no unmeasured confounding assumption.This package implements the methods described by Hu et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/sim.9548>.

Validates estimates of (conditional) average treatment effects obtained using observational data by a) making it easy to obtain and visualize estimates derived using a large variety of methods (G-computation, inverse propensity score weighting, etc.), and b) ensuring that estimates are easily compared to a gold standard (i.e., estimates derived from randomized controlled trials). RCTrep offers a generic protocol for treatment effect validation based on four simple steps, namely, set-selection, estimation, diagnosis, and validation. RCTrep provides a simple dashboard to review the obtained results. The validation approach is introduced by Shen, L., Geleijnse, G. and Kaptein, M. (2023) <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-2559287/v2>.

This package provides functions to allow users to build and analyze design consistent tree and random forest models using survey data from a complex sample design. The tree model algorithm can fit a linear model to survey data in each node obtained by recursively partitioning the data. The splitting variables and selected splits are obtained using a randomized permutation test procedure which adjusted for complex sample design features used to obtain the data. Likewise the model fitting algorithm produces design-consistent coefficients to any specified least squares linear model between the dependent and independent variables used in the end nodes. The main functions return the resulting binary tree or random forest as an object of "rpms" or "rpms_forest" type. The package also provides methods modeling a "boosted" tree or forest model and a tree model for zero-inflated data as well as a number of functions and methods available for use with these object types.

This package provides a robust alternative to the traditional principal component estimator is proposed within the framework of factor models, known as Robust Exponential Factor Analysis, specifically designed for the modeling of high-dimensional datasets with heavy-tailed distributions. The algorithm estimates the latent factors and the loading by minimizing the exponential squared loss function. To determine the appropriate number of factors, we propose a modified rank minimization technique, which has been shown to significantly enhance finite-sample performance. For more detail of Robust Exponential Factor Analysis, please refer to Hu et al. (2026) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2025.105567>.

An implementation of the RainFARM (Rainfall Filtered Autoregressive Model) stochastic precipitation downscaling method (Rebora et al. (2006) <doi:10.1175/JHM517.1>). Adapted for climate downscaling according to D'Onofrio et al. (2018) <doi:10.1175/JHM-D-13-096.1> and for complex topography as in Terzago et al. (2018) <doi:10.5194/nhess-18-2825-2018>. The RainFARM method is based on the extrapolation to small scales of the Fourier spectrum of a large-scale precipitation field, using a fixed logarithmic slope and random phases at small scales, followed by a nonlinear transformation of the resulting linearly correlated stochastic field. RainFARM allows to generate ensembles of spatially downscaled precipitation fields which conserve precipitation at large scales and whose statistical properties are consistent with the small-scale statistics of observed precipitation, based only on knowledge of the large-scale precipitation field.

The Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium <https://geneontology.org/> organizes genes into hierarchical categories based on biological process (BP), molecular function (MF) and cellular component (CC, i.e., subcellular localization). Tools such as GoMiner (see Zeeberg, B.R., Feng, W., Wang, G. et al. (2003) <doi:10.1186/gb-2003-4-4-r28>) can leverage GO to perform ontological analysis of microarray and proteomics studies, typically generating a list of significant functional categories. The significance is traditionally determined by randomizing the input gene list to computing the false discovery rate (FDR) of the enrichment p-value for each category. We explore here the novel alternative of randomizing the GO database rather than the gene list.
