This package provides statistical tools for Bayesian estimation of mixture distributions, mainly a mixture of Gamma, Normal, and t-distributions. The package is implemented based on the Bayesian literature for the finite mixture of distributions, including Mohammadi and et al. (2013) <doi:10.1007/s00180-012-0323-3> and Mohammadi and Salehi-Rad (2012) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.588358>.

This package performs block diagonal covariance matrix detection using singular vectors (BD-SVD), which can be extended to hierarchical variable clustering (HC-SVD). The methods are described in Bauer (2024) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2024.2422985> and Bauer (202X) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.06820>.

Generation of samples from a mix of binary, ordinal and continuous random variables with a pre-specified correlation matrix and marginal distributions. The details of the method are explained in Demirtas et al. (2012) <DOI:10.1002/sim.5362>.

Calculate the bark beetle phenology based on raster data or point-related data. There are multiple models implemented for two bark beetle species. The models can be customized and their submodels (onset of infestation, beetle development, diapause initiation, mortality) can be combined. The following models are available in the package: PHENIPS-Clim (first-time release in this package), PHENIPS (Baier et al. 2007) <doi:10.1016/j.foreco.2007.05.020>, RITY (Ogris et al. 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.108775>, CHAPY (Ogris et al. 2020) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109137>, BSO (Jakoby et al. 2019) <doi:10.1111/gcb.14766>, Lange et al. (2008) <doi:10.1007/978-3-540-85081-6_32>, Jönsson et al. (2011) <doi:10.1007/s10584-011-0038-4>. The package may be expanded by models for other bark beetle species in the future.

Prognostic Enrichment is a strategy of enriching a clinical trial for testing an intervention intended to prevent or delay an unwanted clinical event. A prognostically enriched trial enrolls only patients who are more likely to experience the unwanted clinical event than the broader patient population (R. Temple (2010) <doi:10.1038/clpt.2010.233>). By testing the intervention in an enriched study population, the trial may be adequately powered with a smaller sample size, which can have both practical and ethical advantages. This package provides tools to evaluate biomarkers for prognostic enrichment of clinical trials with survival/time-to-event outcomes.

Bayesian optimal interval based on both efficacy and toxicity outcomes (BOIN-ET) design is a model-assisted oncology phase I/II trial design, aiming to establish an optimal biological dose accounting for efficacy and toxicity in the framework of dose-finding. Some extensions of BOIN-ET design are also available to allow for time-to-event efficacy and toxicity outcomes based on cumulative and pending data (time-to-event BOIN-ET: TITE-BOIN-ET), ordinal graded efficacy and toxicity outcomes (generalized BOIN-ET: gBOIN-ET), and their combination (TITE-gBOIN-ET). boinet is a package to implement the BOIN-ET design family and supports the conduct of simulation studies to assess operating characteristics of BOIN-ET, TITE-BOIN-ET, gBOIN-ET, and TITE-gBOIN-ET, where users can choose design parameters in flexible and straightforward ways depending on their own application.

This package provides a collection of S4 classes which implements different methods to estimate and deal with densities in bounded domains. That is, densities defined within the interval [lower.limit, upper.limit], where lower.limit and upper.limit are values that can be set by the user.

The core algorithm is described in "Ball mapper: a shape summary for topological data analysis" by Pawel Dlotko, (2019) <arXiv:1901.07410>. Please consult the following youtube video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9Dm1nl_zSQfor> the idea of functionality. Ball Mapper provide a topologically accurate summary of a data in a form of an abstract graph. To create it, please provide the coordinates of points (in the points array), values of a function of interest at those points (can be initialized randomly if you do not have it) and the value epsilon which is the radius of the ball in the Ball Mapper construction. It can be understood as the minimal resolution on which we use to create the model of the data.

Package for Bayesian Variable Selection and Model Averaging in linear models and generalized linear models using stochastic or deterministic sampling without replacement from posterior distributions. Prior distributions on coefficients are from Zellner's g-prior or mixtures of g-priors corresponding to the Zellner-Siow Cauchy Priors or the mixture of g-priors from Liang et al (2008) <DOI:10.1198/016214507000001337> for linear models or mixtures of g-priors from Li and Clyde (2019) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2018.1469992> in generalized linear models. Other model selection criteria include AIC, BIC and Empirical Bayes estimates of g. Sampling probabilities may be updated based on the sampled models using sampling w/out replacement or an efficient MCMC algorithm which samples models using a tree structure of the model space as an efficient hash table. See Clyde, Ghosh and Littman (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jcgs.2010.09049> for details on the sampling algorithms. Uniform priors over all models or beta-binomial prior distributions on model size are allowed, and for large p truncated priors on the model space may be used to enforce sampling models that are full rank. The user may force variables to always be included in addition to imposing constraints that higher order interactions are included only if their parents are included in the model.

For a series of binary responses, create stopping boundary with exact results after stopping, allowing updating for missing assessments.

The R-package bayespm implements Bayesian Statistical Process Control and Monitoring (SPC/M) methodology. These methods utilize available prior information and/or historical data, providing efficient online quality monitoring of a process, in terms of identifying moderate/large transient shifts (i.e., outliers) or persistent shifts of medium/small size in the process. These self-starting, sequentially updated tools can also run under complete absence of any prior information. The Predictive Control Charts (PCC) are introduced for the quality monitoring of data from any discrete or continuous distribution that is a member of the regular exponential family. The Predictive Ratio CUSUMs (PRC) are introduced for the Binomial, Poisson and Normal data (a later version of the library will cover all the remaining distributions from the regular exponential family). The PCC targets transient process shifts of typically large size (a.k.a. outliers), while PRC is focused in detecting persistent (structural) shifts that might be of medium or even small size. Apart from monitoring, both PCC and PRC provide the sequentially updated posterior inference for the monitored parameter. Bourazas K., Kiagias D. and Tsiamyrtzis P.

We implemented a Bayesian-statistics approach for subtraction of incoherent scattering from neutron total-scattering data. In this approach, the estimated background signal associated with incoherent scattering maximizes the posterior probability, which combines the likelihood of this signal in reciprocal and real spaces with the prior that favors smooth lines. The description of the corresponding approach could be found at Gagin and Levin (2014) <DOI:10.1107/S1600576714023796>.

Estimate fish length-at-age models using MCMC analysis with rstan models.

This package provides functions for the evaluation of basket trial designs with binary endpoints. Operating characteristics of a basket trial design are assessed by simulating trial data according to scenarios, analyzing the data with Bayesian hierarchical models (BHMs), and assessing decision probabilities on stratum and trial-level based on Go / No-go decision making. The package is build for high flexibility regarding decision rules, number of interim analyses, number of strata, and recruitment. The BHMs proposed by Berry et al. (2013) <doi:10.1177/1740774513497539> and Neuenschwander et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/pst.1730>, as well as a model that combines both approaches are implemented. Functions are provided to implement Bayesian decision rules as for example proposed by Fisch et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/2168479014533970>. In addition, posterior point estimates (mean/median) and credible intervals for response rates and some model parameters can be calculated. For simulated trial data, bias and mean squared errors of posterior point estimates for response rates can be provided.

Allows to compare the goodness of fit of Benford's and Blondeau Da Silva's digit distributions in a dataset. It is used to check whether the data distribution is consistent with theoretical distributions highlighted by Blondeau Da Silva or not (through the dat.distr() function): this ideal theoretical distribution must be at least approximately followed by the data for the use of Blondeau Da Silva's model to be well-founded. It also enables to plot histograms of digit distributions, both observed in the dataset and given by the two theoretical approaches (with the digit.ditr() function). Finally, it proposes to quantify the goodness of fit via Pearson's chi-squared test (with the chi2() function).

This package performs statistical estimation and inference-related computations by accessing and executing modified versions of Fortran subroutines originally published in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) journal Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS) by Bunch, Gay and Welsch (1993) <doi:10.1145/151271.151279>. The acronym BGW (from the authors last names) will be used when making reference to technical content (e.g., algorithm, methodology) that originally appeared in ACM TOMS. A key feature of BGW is that it exploits the special structure of statistical estimation problems within a trust-region-based optimization approach to produce an estimation algorithm that is much more effective than the usual practice of using optimization methods and codes originally developed for general optimization. The bgw package bundles R wrapper (and related) functions with modified Fortran source code so that it can be compiled and linked in the R environment for fast execution. This version implements a function ('bgw_mle.R') that performs maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for a user-provided model object that computes probabilities (a.k.a. probability densities). The original motivation for producing this package was to provide fast, efficient, and reliable MLE for discrete choice models that can be called from the Apollo choice modelling R package ( see <https://www.apollochoicemodelling.com>). Starting with the release of Apollo 3.0, BGW is the default estimation package. However, estimation can also be performed using BGW in a stand-alone fashion without using Apollo (as shown in simple examples included in the package). Note also that BGW capabilities are not limited to MLE, and future extension to other estimators (e.g., nonlinear least squares, generalized method of moments, etc.) is possible. The Fortran code included in bgw was modified by one of the original BGW authors (Bunch) under his rights as confirmed by direct consultation with the ACM Intellectual Property and Rights Manager. See <https://authors.acm.org/author-resources/author-rights>. The main requirement is clear citation of the original publication (see above).

Calculates the necessary quantities to perform Bayesian multigroup equivalence testing. Currently the package includes the Bayesian models and equivalence criteria outlined in Pourmohamad and Lee (2023) <doi:10.1002/sta4.645>, but more models and equivalence testing features may be added over time.

Causal inference for a binary treatment and continuous outcome using Bayesian Causal Forests. See Hahn, Murray and Carvalho (2020) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1195> for additional information. This implementation relies on code originally accompanying Pratola et. al. (2013) <arXiv:1309.1906>.

This package provides tools for fitting Bayesian single index models with flexible choices of priors for both the index and the link function. The package implements model estimation and posterior inference using efficient MCMC algorithms built on the nimble framework, allowing users to specify, extend, and simulate models in a unified and reproducible manner. The following methods are implemented in the package: Antoniadis et al. (2004) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/24307224>, Wang (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2008.12.010>, Choi et al. (2011) <doi:10.1080/10485251003768019>, Dhara et al. (2019) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1170>, McGee et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/biom.13569>.

For MI and TS-ML, auxiliary variables can be included. Bootstrap confidence intervals for mediation effects are obtained. The robust method is also implemented for TS-ML. Since version 1.4, bmem adds the capability to conduct power analysis for mediation models. Details about the methods used can be found in these articles. Zhang and Wang (2003) <doi:10.1007/s11336-012-9301-5>. Zhang (2014) <doi:10.3758/s13428-013-0424-0>.

This package provides functions for summarizing and plotting the output of the command-line tool BeXY (<https://bitbucket.org/wegmannlab/bexy>), a tool that performs Bayesian inference of sex chromosome karyotypes and sex-linked scaffolds from low-depth sequencing data.

For studying recurrent disease and death with competing risks, comparisons based on the well-known cumulative incidence function can be confounded by different prevalence rates of the competing events. Alternatively, comparisons of the conditional distribution of the survival time given the failure event type are more relevant for investigating the prognosis of different patterns of recurrence disease. This package implements a nonparametric estimator for the conditional cumulative incidence function and a nonparametric conditional bivariate cumulative incidence function for the bivariate gap times proposed in Huang et al. (2016) <doi:10.1111/biom.12494>.
