Floating Percentile Model with additional functions for optimizing inputs and evaluating outputs and assumptions.

Standard and extensible Eddy-Covariance data post-processing (Wutzler et al. (2018) <doi:10.5194/bg-15-5015-2018>) includes uStar-filtering, gap-filling, and flux-partitioning. The Eddy-Covariance (EC) micrometeorological technique quantifies continuous exchange fluxes of gases, energy, and momentum between an ecosystem and the atmosphere. It is important for understanding ecosystem dynamics and upscaling exchange fluxes. (Aubinet et al. (2012) <doi:10.1007/978-94-007-2351-1>). This package inputs pre-processed (half-)hourly data and supports further processing. First, a quality-check and filtering is performed based on the relationship between measured flux and friction velocity (uStar) to discard biased data (Papale et al. (2006) <doi:10.5194/bg-3-571-2006>). Second, gaps in the data are filled based on information from environmental conditions (Reichstein et al. (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-2486.2005.001002.x>). Third, the net flux of carbon dioxide is partitioned into its gross fluxes in and out of the ecosystem by night-time based and day-time based approaches (Lasslop et al. (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-2486.2009.02041.x>).

Standardized methods for calculating common important derived physical features of lakes including water density based based on temperature, thermal layers, thermocline depth, lake number, Wedderburn number, Schmidt stability and others.

Compute Time series Resistant Smooth 4253H, twice smoothing method.

The stochastic (also called on-line) version of the Self-Organising Map (SOM) algorithm is provided. Different versions of the algorithm are implemented, for numeric and relational data and for contingency tables as described, respectively, in Kohonen (2001) <isbn:3-540-67921-9>, Olteanu & Villa-Vialaneix (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2013.11.047> and Cottrell et al (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.neunet.2004.07.010>. The package also contains many plotting features (to help the user interpret the results), can handle (and impute) missing values and is delivered with a graphical user interface based on shiny'.

In some situations where researchers would like to demonstrate causal effects, it is hard to obtain a sample size that would allow for a well-powered randomized controlled trial. Single case designs are experimental designs that can be used to demonstrate causal effects with only one participant or with only a few participants. The scdtb package provides a suite of tools for analyzing data from studies that use single case designs. The nap() function can be used to compute the nonoverlap of all pairs as outlined by the What Works Clearinghouse (2022) <https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/Handbooks>. The package also offers the mixed_model_analysis() and cross_lagged() functions which implement mixed effects models and cross lagged analyses as described in Maric & van der Werff (2020) <doi:10.4324/9780429273872-9>. The randomization_test() function implements randomization tests based on methods presented in Onghena (2020) <doi:10.4324/9780429273872-8>. The scdtb() shiny application can be used to upload single case design data and access various scdtb tools for plotting and analysis.

An updated and extended version of spm package, by introducing some further novel functions for modern statistical methods (i.e., generalised linear models, glmnet, generalised least squares), thin plate splines, support vector machine, kriging methods (i.e., simple kriging, universal kriging, block kriging, kriging with an external drift), and novel hybrid methods (228 hybrids plus numerous variants) of modern statistical methods or machine learning methods with mathematical and/or univariate geostatistical methods for spatial predictive modelling. For each method, two functions are provided, with one function for assessing the predictive errors and accuracy of the method based on cross-validation, and the other for generating spatial predictions. It also contains a couple of functions for data preparation and predictive accuracy assessment.

Optimized prediction based on textual sentiment, accounting for the intrinsic challenge that sentiment can be computed and pooled across texts and time in various ways. See Ardia et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v099.i02>.

This package contains functions that help to determine event boundaries in event segmentation experiments by bootstrapping a critical segmentation magnitude under the null hypothesis that all key presses were randomly distributed across the experiment. Segmentation magnitude is defined as the sum of Gaussians centered at the times of the segmentation key presses performed by the participants. Within a participant, the maximum of the overlaid Gaussians is used to prevent an excessive influence of a single participant on the overall outcome (e.g. if a participant is pressing the key multiple times in succession). Further functions are included, such as plotting the results.

This package provides tools for transport planning with an emphasis on spatial transport data and non-motorized modes. The package was originally developed to support the Propensity to Cycle Tool', a publicly available strategic cycle network planning tool (Lovelace et al. 2017) <doi:10.5198/jtlu.2016.862>, but has since been extended to support public transport routing and accessibility analysis (Moreno-Monroy et al. 2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2017.08.012> and routing with locally hosted routing engines such as OSRM (Lowans et al. 2023) <doi:10.1016/j.enconman.2023.117337>. The main functions are for creating and manipulating geographic "desire lines" from origin-destination (OD) data (building on the od package); calculating routes on the transport network locally and via interfaces to routing services such as <https://cyclestreets.net/> (Desjardins et al. 2021) <doi:10.1007/s11116-021-10197-1>; and calculating route segment attributes such as bearing. The package implements the travel flow aggregration method described in Morgan and Lovelace (2020) <doi:10.1177/2399808320942779> and the OD jittering method described in Lovelace et al. (2022) <doi:10.32866/001c.33873>. Further information on the package's aim and scope can be found in the vignettes and in a paper in the R Journal (Lovelace and Ellison 2018) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-053>, and in a paper outlining the landscape of open source software for geographic methods in transport planning (Lovelace, 2021) <doi:10.1007/s10109-020-00342-2>.

It estimates the parameters of spatio-temporal models with censored or missing data using the SAEM algorithm (Delyon et al., 1999). This algorithm is a stochastic approximation of the widely used EM algorithm and is particularly valuable for models in which the E-step lacks a closed-form expression. It also provides a function to compute the observed information matrix using the method developed by Louis (1982). To assess the performance of the fitted model, case-deletion diagnostics are provided.

Network meta-analysis for survival outcome data often involves several studies only involve dichotomized outcomes (e.g., the numbers of event and sample sizes of individual arms). To combine these different outcome data, Woods et al. (2010) <doi:10.1186/1471-2288-10-54> proposed a Bayesian approach using complicated hierarchical models. Besides, frequentist approaches have been alternative standard methods for the statistical analyses of network meta-analysis, and the methodology has been well established. We proposed an easy-to-implement method for the network meta-analysis based on the frequentist framework in Noma and Maruo (2025) <doi:10.1101/2025.01.23.25321051>. This package involves some convenient functions to implement the simple synthesis method.

Implementations of classical and machine learning models for survival analysis, including deep neural networks via keras and tensorflow'. Each model includes a separated fit and predict interface with consistent prediction types for predicting risk or survival probabilities. Models are either implemented from Python via reticulate <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=reticulate>, from code in GitHub packages, or novel implementations using Rcpp <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=Rcpp>. Neural networks are implemented from the Python package pycox <https://github.com/havakv/pycox>.

Network sparsification with a variety of novel and known network sparsification techniques. All network sparsification techniques reduce the number of edges, not the number of nodes. Network sparsification is sometimes referred to as network dimensionality reduction. This package is based on the work of Spielman, D., Srivastava, N. (2009)<arXiv:0803.0929>. Koutis I., Levin, A., Peng, R. (2013)<arXiv:1209.5821>. Toivonen, H., Mahler, S., Zhou, F. (2010)<doi:10.1007>. Foti, N., Hughes, J., Rockmore, D. (2011)<doi:10.1371>.

Set of tools to fit a linear multiple or semi-parametric regression models with the possibility of non-informative random right or left censoring. Under this setup, the localization parameter of the response variable distribution is modeled by using linear multiple regression or semi-parametric functions, whose non-parametric components may be approximated by natural cubic spline or P-splines. The supported distribution for the model error is a generalized log-gamma distribution which includes the generalized extreme value and standard normal distributions as important special cases. Inference is based on likelihood, penalized likelihood and bootstrap methods. Lastly, some numerical and graphical devices for diagnostic of the fitted models are offered.

This package contains an implementation of invariant causal prediction for sequential data. The main function in the package is seqICP', which performs linear sequential invariant causal prediction and has guaranteed type I error control. For non-linear dependencies the package also contains a non-linear method seqICPnl', which allows to input any regression procedure and performs tests based on a permutation approach that is only approximately correct. In order to test whether an individual set S is invariant the package contains the subroutines seqICP.s and seqICPnl.s corresponding to the respective main methods.

Generally, soil functionality is characterized by its capability to sustain microbial activity, nutritional element supply, structural stability and aid for crop production. Since soil functions can be linked to 80% of ecosystem services, conservation of degraded land should strive to restore not only the capacity of soil to sustain flora but also ecosystem provisions. The primary ecosystem services of soil are carbon sequestration, food or biomass production, provision of microbial habitat, nutrient recycling. However, the actual magnitude of soil functions provided by agricultural land uses has never been quantified. Nutrient supply capacity (NSC) is a measure of nutrient dynamics in restored land uses. Carbon accumulation proficiency (CAP) is a measure of ecosystem carbon sequestration. Biological activity index (BAI) is the average of responses of all enzyme activities in treated land over control/reference land. The CAP parameter investigates how land uses may affect carbon flows, retention, and sequestration. The CAP provides a signal for C cycles, flows, and the systems relative operational supremacy.

This package provides a tool that makes estimating models in state space form a breeze. See "Time Series Analysis by State Space Methods" by Durbin and Koopman (2012, ISBN: 978-0-19-964117-8) for details about the algorithms implemented.

Survival analysis models are commonly used in medicine and other areas. Many of them are too complex to be interpreted by human. Exploration and explanation is needed, but standard methods do not give a broad enough picture. survex provides easy-to-apply methods for explaining survival models, both complex black-boxes and simpler statistical models. They include methods specific to survival analysis such as SurvSHAP(t) introduced in Krzyzinski et al., (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2022.110234>, SurvLIME described in Kovalev et al., (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2020.106164> as well as extensions of existing ones described in Biecek et al., (2021) <doi:10.1201/9780429027192>.

Some functions are suitably flexible to allow any other sensible combination of explicit power transformations for weights, distances and input proximities with implicit ratio, interval, splines or nonmetric optimal scaling of the input proximities. Most functions use a Majorization-Minimization algorithm. Currently the methods are only available for one-mode two-way data (symmetric dissimilarity matrices).
