This package provides functions for spatial methods based on generalized estimating equations (GEE) and wavelet-revised methods (WRM), functions for scaling by wavelet multiresolution regression (WMRR), conducting multi-model inference, and stepwise model selection. Further, contains functions for spatially corrected model accuracy measures.

Statistical performance measures used in the econometric literature to evaluate conditional covariance/correlation matrix estimates (MSE, MAE, Euclidean distance, Frobenius distance, Stein distance, asymmetric loss function, eigenvalue loss function and the loss function defined in Eq. (4.6) of Engle et al. (2016) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.2814555>). Additionally, compute Eq. (3.1) and (4.2) of Li et al. (2016) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2015.1092975> to compare the factor loading matrix. The statistical performance measures implemented have been previously used in, for instance, Laurent et al. (2012) <doi:10.1002/jae.1248>, Amendola et al. (2015) <doi:10.1002/for.2322> and Becker et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2013.11.007>.

Functionality to parse server-sent events with a high-level interface that can be extended for custom applications.

This package implements a spatially varying change point model with unique intercepts, slopes, variance intercepts and slopes, and change points at each location. Inference is within the Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The response variable can be modeled as Gaussian (no nugget), probit or Tobit link and the five spatially varying parameter are modeled jointly using a multivariate conditional autoregressive (MCAR) prior. The MCAR is a unique process that allows for a dissimilarity metric to dictate the local spatial dependencies. Full details of the package can be found in the accompanying vignette. Furthermore, the details of the package can be found in the corresponding paper published in Spatial Statistics by Berchuck et al (2019): "A spatially varying change points model for monitoring glaucoma progression using visual field data", <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2019.02.001>.

Incorporate various statistics and layout customization options to enhance the efficiency and adaptability of the Kaplan-Meier plots.

Improves the interpretation of the Standardized Precipitation Index under changing climate conditions. The package uses the nonstationary approach proposed in Blain et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/joc.7550> to detect trends in rainfall quantities and to quantify the effect of such trends on the probability of a drought event occurring.

Collision Risk Models for avian fauna (seabird and migratory birds) at offshore wind farms. The base deterministic model is derived from Band (2012) <https://tethys.pnnl.gov/publications/using-collision-risk-model-assess-bird-collision-risks-offshore-wind-farms>. This was further expanded on by Masden (2015) <doi:10.7489/1659-1> and code used here is heavily derived from this work with input from Dr A. Cook at the British Trust for Ornithology. These collision risk models are useful for marine ornithologists who are working in the offshore wind industry, particularly in UK waters. However, many of the species included in the stochastic collision risk models can also be found in the North Atlantic in the United States and Canada, and could be applied there.

Split Knockoff is a data adaptive variable selection framework for controlling the (directional) false discovery rate (FDR) in structural sparsity, where variable selection on linear transformation of parameters is of concern. This proposed scheme relaxes the linear subspace constraint to its neighborhood, often known as variable splitting in optimization. Simulation experiments can be reproduced following the Vignette. Split Knockoffs is first defined in Cao et al. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2103.16159>.

Perform biomarker evaluation and comparison in terms of specificity at a controlled sensitivity level, or sensitivity at a controlled specificity level. Point estimation and exact bootstrap of Huang, Parakati, Patil, and Sanda (2023) <doi:10.5705/ss.202021.0020> for the one- and two-biomarker problems are implemented.

Extends the SelectBoost approach to Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS). Implements bootstrap stability-selection across parameter-specific formulas (mu, sigma, nu, tau) via gamlss::stepGAIC(). Includes optional standardization of predictors and helper functions for corrected AIC calculation. More details can be found in Bertrand and Maumy (2024) <https://hal.science/hal-05352041> that highlights correlation-aware resampling to improve variable selection for GAMLSS and quantile regression when predictors are numerous and highly correlated.

Implementations of a large number of tests for symmetry and their bootstrap variants, which can be used for testing the symmetry of random samples around a known or unknown mean. Functions are also there for testing the symmetry of model residuals around zero. Currently, the supported models are linear models and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models (fitted with the fGarch package). All tests are implemented using the Rcpp package which ensures great performance of the code.

Functions, classes and methods for time series modelling with ARIMA and related models. The aim of the package is to provide consistent interface for the user. For example, a single function autocorrelations() computes various kinds of theoretical and sample autocorrelations. This is work in progress, see the documentation and vignettes for the current functionality. Function sarima() fits extended multiplicative seasonal ARIMA models with trends, exogenous variables and arbitrary roots on the unit circle, which can be fixed or estimated (for the algebraic basis for this see <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2208.05055>, a paper on the methodology is being prepared).

Fits single-species (univariate) and multi-species (multivariate) non-spatial and spatial abundance models in a Bayesian framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Spatial models are fit using Nearest Neighbor Gaussian Processes (NNGPs). Details on NNGP models are given in Datta, Banerjee, Finley, and Gelfand (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1044091> and Finley, Datta, and Banerjee (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i05>. Fits single-species and multi-species spatial and non-spatial versions of generalized linear mixed models (Gaussian, Poisson, Negative Binomial), N-mixture models (Royle 2004 <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2004.00142.x>) and hierarchical distance sampling models (Royle, Dawson, Bates (2004) <doi:10.1890/03-3127>). Multi-species spatial models are fit using a spatial factor modeling approach with NNGPs for computational efficiency.

This package provides a workflow based on scTenifoldNet to perform in-silico knockout experiments using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from wild-type (WT) control samples as input. First, the package constructs a single-cell gene regulatory network (scGRN) and knocks out a target gene from the adjacency matrix of the WT scGRN by setting the geneâ s outdegree edges to zero. Then, it compares the knocked out scGRN with the WT scGRN to identify differentially regulated genes, called virtual-knockout perturbed genes, which are used to assess the impact of the gene knockout and reveal the geneâ s function in the analyzed cells.

The systemPipeShiny (SPS) framework comes with many useful utility functions. However, installing the whole framework is heavy and takes some time. If you like only a few useful utility functions from SPS, install this package is enough.

This package implements Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) for Small Area Estimation under Fay Herriot Model. Small Area Estimation is used to borrow strength from auxiliary variables to improve the effectiveness of a domain sample size. This package uses Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP). The Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) are based on transformation by Aitchison J (1986). The covariance matrix for multivariate application is based on covariance matrix used by Esteban M, Lombardà a M, López-Vizcaà no E, Morales D, and Pérez A <doi:10.1007/s11749-019-00688-w>. The non-sampled models are modified area-level models based on models proposed by Anisa R, Kurnia A, and Indahwati I <doi:10.9790/5728-10121519>, with univariate model using model-3, and multivariate model using model-1. The MSE are estimated using Parametric Bootstrap approach. For non-sampled cases, MSE are estimated using modified approach proposed by Haris F and Ubaidillah A <doi:10.4108/eai.2-8-2019.2290339>.

This package provides functions for evaluating the stability of low-dimensional embeddings and cluster assignments in singleâ cell RNA sequencing (scRNAâ seq) datasets. Starting from a principal component analysis (PCA) object, users can generate multiple replicates of tâ Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (tâ SNE) or Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) embeddings. Embedding stability is quantified by computing pairwise Kendallâ s Tau correlations across replicates and summarizing the distribution of correlation coefficients. In addition to dimensionality reduction, scStability assesses clustering consistency using either Louvain or Leiden algorithms and calculating the Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) between all pairs of cluster assignments. For background on UMAP and t-SNE algorithms, see McInnes et al. (2020, <doi:10.21105/joss.00861>) and van der Maaten & Hinton (2008, <https://github.com/lvdmaaten/bhtsne>), respectively.

This package creates a contextual menu that can be triggered with keyboard shortcuts or programmatically. This can replace traditional sidebars or navigation bars, thereby enhancing the user experience with lighter user interfaces.

Efficient variational inference methods for fully Bayesian Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) models with hierarchical shrinkage priors, including the triple gamma prior for effective variable selection and covariance shrinkage in high-dimensional settings. The package leverages normalizing flows to approximate complex posterior distributions. For details on implementation, see Knaus (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.13173>.

This package provides a switch-case construct for R', as it is known from other programming languages. It allows to test multiple, similar conditions in an efficient, easy-to-read manner, so nested if-else constructs can be avoided. The switch-case construct is designed as an R function that allows to return values depending on which condition is met and lets the programmer flexibly decide whether or not to leave the switch-case construct after a case block has been executed.

Recently, regularized variable selection has emerged as a powerful tool to identify and dissect gene-environment interactions. Nevertheless, in longitudinal studies with high dimensional genetic factors, regularization methods for GÃ E interactions have not been systematically developed. In this package, we provide the implementation of sparse group variable selection, based on both the quadratic inference function (QIF) and generalized estimating equation (GEE), to accommodate the bi-level selection for longitudinal GÃ E studies with high dimensional genomic features. Alternative methods conducting only the group or individual level selection have also been included. The core modules of the package have been developed in C++.
