An implementation of a phylogenetic comparative method. It can fit univariate among-species Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models of phenotypic trait evolution, where the trait evolves towards a primary optimum. The optimum can be modelled as a single parameter, as multiple discrete regimes on the phylogenetic tree, and/or with continuous covariates. See also Hansen (1997) <doi:10.2307/2411186>, Butler & King (2004) <doi:10.1086/426002>, Hansen et al. (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.1558-5646.2008.00412.x>.

RCON(V, E) models are a kind of restriction of the Gaussian Graphical Models defined by a set of equality constraints on the entries of the concentration matrix. sglasso package implements the structured graphical lasso (sglasso) estimator proposed in Abbruzzo et al. (2014) for the weighted l1-penalized RCON(V, E) model. Two cyclic coordinate algorithms are implemented to compute the sglasso estimator, i.e. a cyclic coordinate minimization (CCM) and a cyclic coordinate descent (CCD) algorithm.

The Statistical Learning Theory (SLT) provides the theoretical background to ensure that a supervised algorithm generalizes the mapping f:X -> Y given f is selected from its search space bias F. This formal result depends on the Shattering coefficient function N(F,2n) to upper bound the empirical risk minimization principle, from which one can estimate the necessary training sample size to ensure the probabilistic learning convergence and, most importantly, the characterization of the capacity of F, including its under and overfitting abilities while addressing specific target problems. In this context, we propose a new approach to estimate the maximal number of hyperplanes required to shatter a given sample, i.e., to separate every pair of points from one another, based on the recent contributions by Har-Peled and Jones in the dataset partitioning scenario, and use such foundation to analytically compute the Shattering coefficient function for both binary and multi-class problems. As main contributions, one can use our approach to study the complexity of the search space bias F, estimate training sample sizes, and parametrize the number of hyperplanes a learning algorithm needs to address some supervised task, what is specially appealing to deep neural networks.

Reliability and agreement analyses often have limited software support. Therefore, this package was created to make agreement and reliability analyses easier for the average researcher. The functions within this package include simple tests of agreement, agreement analysis for nested and replicate data, and provide robust analyses of reliability. In addition, this package contains a set of functions to help when planning studies looking to assess measurement agreement.

This package provides systematic geometry-adaptive parameter optimization with statistical validation for experimental biological data. Combines ANOVA-based validation with systematic constraint configuration testing (log-scale, positive domain, Euclidean) through T,P,E testing. Only proceeds with parameter optimization when statistically significant biological effects are detected, preventing over-fitting to noise. Uses GALAHAD trust region methods with constraint projection from Conn et al. (2000) <doi:10.1137/S1052623497325107>, ANOVA-based validation following Fisher (1925) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4612-4380-9_6>, and effect size calculations per Cohen (1988, ISBN:0805802835). Designed for structured experimental data including kinetic curves, dose-response studies, and treatment comparisons where appropriate parameter constraints and statistical justification are important for meaningful biological interpretation. Developed at the Minnesota Center for Prion Research and Outreach at the University of Minnesota.

This package provides nonparametric Steinian shrinkage estimators of the covariance matrix that are suitable in high dimensional settings, that is when the number of variables is larger than the sample size.

This package provides a simple to use summary function that can be used with pipes and displays nicely in the console. The default summary statistics may be modified by the user as can the default formatting. Support for data frames and vectors is included, and users can implement their own skim methods for specific object types as described in a vignette. Default summaries include support for inline spark graphs. Instructions for managing these on specific operating systems are given in the "Using skimr" vignette and the README.

Regression context for the Partial Least Squares framework for Extreme values. Estimations of the Shrinkage for Extreme Partial Least-Squares (SEPaLS) estimators, an adaptation of the original Partial Least Squares (PLS) method tailored to the extreme-value framework.

This package contains fast functions to calculate the exact Bayes posterior for the Sparse Normal Sequence Model, implementing the algorithms described in Van Erven and Szabo (2021, <doi:10.1214/20-BA1227>). For general hierarchical priors, sample sizes up to 10,000 are feasible within half an hour on a standard laptop. For beta-binomial spike-and-slab priors, a faster algorithm is provided, which can handle sample sizes of 100,000 in half an hour. In the implementation, special care has been taken to assure numerical stability of the methods even for such large sample sizes.

This package provides a mixture model for clustering individuals (or sampling groups) into stocks based on their genetic profile. Here, sampling groups are individuals that are sure to come from the same stock (e.g. breeding adults or larvae). The mixture (log-)likelihood is maximised using the EM-algorithm after finding good starting values via a K-means clustering of the genetic data. Details can be found in: Foster, S.
