BEAST2 (<https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. BEAST2 is commonly accompanied by BEAUti 2', Tracer and DensiTree'. babette provides for an alternative workflow of using all these tools separately. This allows doing complex Bayesian phylogenetics easily and reproducibly from R'.

Code for backShift', an algorithm to estimate the connectivity matrix of a directed (possibly cyclic) graph with hidden variables. The underlying system is required to be linear and we assume that observations under different shift interventions are available. For more details, see <arXiv:1506.02494>.

Compute Buishand Range Test, Pettit Test, SNHT, Student t-test, and Mann-Whitney Rank Test, to identify breakpoints in series. For all functions NA is allowed.

Additionally, it enables easy generation of bootstrap samples for in-depth analysis.

This package implements a novel Bayesian disaggregation framework that combines Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) dimension reduction of prior weight matrices with deterministic Bayesian updating rules. The method provides Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) free posterior estimation with built-in diagnostic metrics. While based on established PCA (Jolliffe, 2002) <doi:10.1007/b98835> and Bayesian principles (Gelman et al., 2013) <doi:10.1201/b16018>, the specific integration for economic disaggregation represents an original methodological contribution.

Collection of procedures to perform Bayesian analysis on a variety of factor models. Currently, it includes: "Bayesian Exploratory Factor Analysis" (befa) from G. Conti, S. Frühwirth-Schnatter, J.J.

The number of latent factors, as well as the allocation of the manifest variables to the factors, are not fixed a priori but determined during MCMC sampling.

Simulation and visualization depth-dependent integrated visual fields. Visual fields are measured monocularly at a single depth, yet real-life activities involve predominantly binocular vision at multiple depths. The package provides functions to simulate and visualize binocular visual field impairment in a depth-dependent fashion from monocular visual field results based on Ping Liu, Allison McKendrick, Anna Ma-Wyatt, Andrew Turpin (2019) <doi:10.1167/tvst.9.3.8>. At each location and depth plane, sensitivities are linearly interpolated from corresponding locations in monocular visual field and returned as the higher value of the two. Its utility is demonstrated by evaluating DD-IVF defects associated with 12 glaucomatous archetypes of 24-2 visual field pattern in the included shiny apps.

This package provides a set of functions to help clinical trial researchers calculate power and sample size for two-arm Bayesian randomized clinical trials that do or do not incorporate historical control data. At some point during the design process, a clinical trial researcher who is designing a basic two-arm Bayesian randomized clinical trial needs to make decisions about power and sample size within the context of hypothesized treatment effects. Through simulation, the simple_sim() function will estimate power and other user specified clinical trial characteristics at user specified sample sizes given user defined scenarios about treatment effect,control group characteristics, and outcome. If the clinical trial researcher has access to historical control data, then the researcher can design a two-arm Bayesian randomized clinical trial that incorporates the historical data. In such a case, the researcher needs to work through the potential consequences of historical and randomized control differences on trial characteristics, in addition to working through issues regarding power in the context of sample size, treatment effect size, and outcome. If a researcher designs a clinical trial that will incorporate historical control data, the researcher needs the randomized controls to be from the same population as the historical controls. What if this is not the case when the designed trial is implemented? During the design phase, the researcher needs to investigate the negative effects of possible historic/randomized control differences on power, type one error, and other trial characteristics. Using this information, the researcher should design the trial to mitigate these negative effects. Through simulation, the historic_sim() function will estimate power and other user specified clinical trial characteristics at user specified sample sizes given user defined scenarios about historical and randomized control differences as well as treatment effects and outcomes. The results from historic_sim() and simple_sim() can be printed with print_table() and graphed with plot_table() methods. Outcomes considered are Gaussian, Poisson, Bernoulli, Lognormal, Weibull, and Piecewise Exponential. The methods are described in Eggleston et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i21>.

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).
