Fits group-regularized generalized linear models (GLMs) using the spike-and-slab group lasso (SSGL) prior of Bai et al. (2022) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1765784> and extended to GLMs by Bai (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.07021>. This package supports fitting the SSGL model for the following GLMs with group sparsity: Gaussian linear regression, binary logistic regression, and Poisson regression.

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.

Taxonomic dictionaries, formative element lists, and functions related to the maintenance, development and application of U.S. Soil Taxonomy. Data and functionality are based on official U.S. Department of Agriculture sources including the latest edition of the Keys to Soil Taxonomy. Descriptions and metadata are obtained from the National Soil Information System or Soil Survey Geographic databases. Other sources are referenced in the data documentation. Provides tools for understanding and interacting with concepts in the U.S. Soil Taxonomic System. Most of the current utilities are for working with taxonomic concepts at the "higher" taxonomic levels: Order, Suborder, Great Group, and Subgroup.

This package produces tables with descriptive statistics for continuous, categorical and dichotomous variables. It is largely based on the package gtsummary'; Sjoberg DD et al. (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-053>.

Implementation of the modified skew discrete Laplace (SDL) regression model. The package provides a set of functions for a complete analysis of integer-valued data, where the dependent variable is assumed to follow a modified SDL distribution. This regression model is useful for the analysis of integer-valued data and experimental studies in which paired discrete observations are collected.

Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF) is a powerful tool for identifying the key features of microbial communities and a dimension-reduction method. When we are interested in the differences between the structures of two groups of communities, supervised NMF(Yun Cai, Hong Gu and Tobby Kenney (2017),<doi:10.1186/s40168-017-0323-1>) provides a better way to do this, while retaining all the advantages of NMF -- such as interpretability, and being based on a simple biological intuition.

This package provides a framework for performing discrete (share-level) simulations of investment strategies. Simulated portfolios optimize exposure to an input signal subject to constraints such as position size and factor exposure. For background see L. Chincarini and D. Kim (2010, ISBN:978-0-07-145939-6) "Quantitative Equity Portfolio Management".

This package provides tests for segregation distortion in F1 polyploid populations under different assumptions of meiosis.

Smart Adaptive Recommendations (SAR) is the name of a fast, scalable, adaptive algorithm for personalized recommendations based on user transactions and item descriptions. It produces easily explainable/interpretable recommendations and handles "cold item" and "semi-cold user" scenarios. This package provides two implementations of SAR': a standalone implementation, and an interface to a web service in Microsoft's Azure cloud: <https://github.com/Microsoft/Product-Recommendations/blob/master/doc/sar.md>. The former allows fast and easy experimentation, and the latter provides robust scalability and extra features for production use.

This package provides functions for performing stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) for binary and continuous outcomes and visualizing the results. SSVS is a Bayesian variable selection method used to estimate the probability that individual predictors should be included in a regression model. Using MCMC estimation, the method samples thousands of regression models in order to characterize the model uncertainty regarding both the predictor set and the regression parameters. For details see Bainter, McCauley, Wager, and Losin (2020) Improving practices for selecting a subset of important predictors in psychology: An application to predicting pain, Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science 3(1), 66-80 <DOI:10.1177/2515245919885617>.

This is an R implementation of a constrained l1 minimization approach for estimating multiple Sparse Gaussian or Nonparanormal Graphical Models (SIMULE). The SIMULE algorithm can be used to estimate multiple related precision matrices. For instance, it can identify context-specific gene networks from multi-context gene expression datasets. By performing data-driven network inference from high-dimensional and heterogenous data sets, this tool can help users effectively translate aggregated data into knowledge that take the form of graphs among entities. Please run demo(simuleDemo) to learn the basic functions provided by this package. For further details, please read the original paper: Beilun Wang, Ritambhara Singh, Yanjun Qi (2017) <DOI:10.1007/s10994-017-5635-7>.

Offers a helping hand to psychologists and other behavioral scientists who routinely deal with experimental data from factorial experiments. It includes several functions to format output from other R functions according to the style guidelines of the APA (American Psychological Association). This formatted output can be copied directly into manuscripts to facilitate data reporting. These features are backed up by a toolkit of several small helper functions, e.g., offering out-of-the-box outlier removal. The package lends its name to Georg "Schorsch" Schuessler, ingenious technician at the Department of Psychology III, University of Wuerzburg. For details on the implemented methods, see Roland Pfister and Markus Janczyk (2016) <doi: 10.20982/tqmp.12.2.p147>.

An exact method for computing the Poisson-Binomial Distribution (PBD). The package provides a function for generating a random sample from the PBD, as well as two distinct approaches for computing the density, distribution, and quantile functions of the PBD. The first method uses direct-convolution, or a dynamic-programming approach which is numerically stable but can be slow for a large input due to its quadratic complexity. The second method is much faster on large inputs thanks to its use of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based convolutions. Notably in this case the package uses an exponential shift to practically guarantee the relative accuracy of the computation of an arbitrarily small tail of the PBD -- something that FFT-based methods often struggle with. This ShiftConvolvePoiBin method is described in Peres, Lee and Keich (2020) <arXiv:2004.07429> where it is also shown to be competitive with the fastest implementations for exactly computing the entire Poisson-Binomial distribution.

Create and format tables and APA statistics for scientific publication. This includes making a Table 1 to summarize demographics across groups, correlation tables with significance indicated by stars, and extracting formatted statistical summarizes from simple tests for in-text notation. The package also includes functions for Winsorizing data based on a Z-statistic cutoff.

Identifies a bicluster, a submatrix of the data such that the features and observations within the submatrix differ from those not contained in submatrix, using a two-step method. In the first step, observations in the bicluster are identified to maximize the sum of weighted between cluster feature differences. The method is described in Helgeson et al. (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13136>. SCBiclust can be used to identify biclusters which differ based on feature means, feature variances, or more general differences.

Suite of helper functions for data wrangling and visualization. The only theme for these functions is that they tend towards simple, short, and narrowly-scoped. These functions are built for tasks that often recur but are not large enough in scope to warrant an ecosystem of interdependent functions.
