This package provides functionality for structural equation modeling for the social relations model (Kenny & La Voie, 1984; <doi:10.1016/S0065-2601(08)60144-6>; Warner, Kenny, & Soto, 1979, <doi:10.1037/0022-3514.37.10.1742>). Maximum likelihood estimation (Gill & Swartz, 2001, <doi:10.2307/3316080>; Nestler, 2018, <doi:10.3102/1076998617741106>) and least squares estimation is supported (Bond & Malloy, 2018, <doi:10.1016/B978-0-12-811967-9.00014-X>).

This package provides a generalization of the statistic used in Friedman's ANOVA method and in Durbin's rank test. This nonparametric statistical test is useful for the data obtained from block designs with missing observations occurring randomly. A resulting p-value is based on the chi-squared distribution and Monte Carlo method.

The family contains extensions for popular distributions such as the ArcSin discussed in Arnold and Groeneveld (1980) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1980.10477449>, triangular, U-quadratic and Johnson-SB proposed in Cortina-Borja (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-985X.2006.00446_12.x> distributions, among others.

The Scott-Knott Effect Size Difference (ESD) test is a mean comparison approach that leverages a hierarchical clustering to partition the set of treatment means (e.g., means of variable importance scores, means of model performance) into statistically distinct groups with non-negligible difference [Tantithamthavorn et al., (2018) <doi:10.1109/TSE.2018.2794977>].

By adding dependencies to the "Suggests" field of a package's DESCRIPTION file, and then declaring that they are needed within any dependent functionality, it is often possible to significantly reduce the number of "hard" dependencies required by a package. This package provides a minimal way to declare when a suggested package is needed.

This package provides several functions for area level of small area estimation using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) methods with several univariate distributions for variables of interest. The dataset that is used in every function is generated accordingly in the Example. The rjags package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involve the HB estimators which include the mean and the variation of mean. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015) <doi:10.1002/9781118735855>.

This package provides a coalescent simulator that allows the rapid simulation of biological sequences under neutral models of evolution, see Staab et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu861>. Different to other coalescent based simulations, it has an optional approximation parameter that allows for high accuracy while maintaining a linear run time cost for long sequences. It is optimized for simulating massive data sets as produced by Next- Generation Sequencing technologies for up to several thousand sequences.

This package provides a graphical user interface to the seasonal package and X-13ARIMA-SEATS', the U.S. Census Bureau's seasonal adjustment software.

Linkage disequilibrium visualizations of up to several hundreds of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), annotated with chromosomic positions and gene names. Two types of plots are available for small numbers of SNPs (<40) and for large numbers (tested up to 500). Both can be extended by combining other ggplots, e.g. association studies results, and functions enable to directly visualize the effect of SNP selection methods, as minor allele frequency filtering and TagSNP selection, with a second correlation heatmap. The SNPs correlations are computed on Genotype Data objects from the GWASTools package using the SNPRelate package, and the plots are customizable ggplot2 and gtable objects and are annotated using the biomaRt package. Usage is detailed in the vignette with example data and results from up to 500 SNPs of 1,200 scans are in Charlon T. (2019) <doi:10.13097/archive-ouverte/unige:161795>.

This package provides a collection of functions for estimating spatial and spatio-temporal regression models. Moran eigenvectors are used as spatial basis functions to efficiently approximate spatially dependent Gaussian processes (i.e., random effects eigenvector spatial filtering; see Murakami and Griffith 2015 <doi: 10.1007/s10109-015-0213-7>). The implemented models include linear regression with residual spatial dependence, spatially/spatio-temporally varying coefficient models (Murakami et al., 2017, 2024; <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2016.12.001>,<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.07229>), spatially filtered unconditional quantile regression (Murakami and Seya, 2019 <doi:10.1002/env.2556>), Gaussian and non-Gaussian spatial mixed models through compositionally-warping (Murakami et al. 2021, <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2021.100520>).
