Testing of soil for the contents of organic carbon, and available macro- and micro-nutrients is a crucial part of soil fertility assessment. This package computes some routinely tested soil properties viz. organic carbon (C), total nitrogen (N), available N, mineral N, available phosphorus (P), available potassium (K), available iron (Fe), available zinc (Zn), available manganese (Mn), available copper (Cu), and available nickel (Ni) in soil based on laboratory analysis data obtained by most commonly followed protocols. Besides, it can also draw standard curves based on absorption/emission vs. concentration data, and give out unknown concentrations from absorption/emission readings.

This package provides a statistical disclosure control tool to protect frequency tables in cases where small values are sensitive. The function PLSrounding() performs small count rounding of necessary inner cells so that all small frequencies of cross-classifications to be published (publishable cells) are rounded. This is equivalent to changing micro data since frequencies of unique combinations are changed. Thus, additivity and consistency are guaranteed. The methodology is described in Langsrud and Heldal (2018) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327768398_An_Algorithm_for_Small_Count_Rounding_of_Tabular_Data>.

Introduction to some novel accurate hybrid methods of geostatistical and machine learning methods for spatial predictive modelling. It contains two commonly used geostatistical methods, two machine learning methods, four hybrid methods and two averaging methods. For each method, two functions are provided. One function is for assessing the predictive errors and accuracy of the method based on cross-validation. The other one is for generating spatial predictions using the method.

Many of the models encountered in applications of point process methods to the study of spatio-temporal phenomena are covered in stpp'. This package provides statistical tools for analyzing the global and local second-order properties of spatio-temporal point processes, including estimators of the space-time inhomogeneous K-function and pair correlation function. It also includes tools to get static and dynamic display of spatio-temporal point patterns. See Gabriel et al (2013) <doi:10.18637/jss.v053.i02>.

This package provides functions to calculate EBLUPs (Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Predictor) estimators and their MSEs (Mean Squared Errors). Estimators are based on an area-level linear mixed model introduced by Rao and Yu (1994) <doi:10.2307/3315407>. The REML (Residual Maximum Likelihood) method is used for fitting the model.

This package provides functions that wrap HTML Bootstrap components code to enable the design and layout of informative landing home pages for Shiny applications. This can lead to a better user experience for the users and writing less HTML for the developer.

An English language syllable counter, plus readability score measure-er. For readability, we support Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level ('Kincaid et al'. 1975) <https://stars.library.ucf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1055&context=istlibrary>, Automated Readability Index ('Senter and Smith 1967) <https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/AD0667273>, Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (McLaughlin 1969), and Coleman-Liau (Coleman and Liau 1975) <doi:10.1037/h0076540>. The package has been carefully optimized and should be very efficient, both in terms of run time performance and memory consumption. The main methods are vectorized by document, and scores for multiple documents are computed in parallel via OpenMP'.

Short and understandable commands that generate tabulated, formatted, and rounded survey estimates. Mostly a wrapper for the survey package (Lumley (2004) <doi:10.18637/jss.v009.i08> <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=survey>) that identifies low-precision estimates using the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) presentation standards (Parker et al. (2017) <https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_02/sr02_175.pdf>, Parker et al. (2023) <doi:10.15620/cdc:124368>).

This package implements the algorithm described in Barron, M., and Li, J. (Not yet published). This algorithm clusters samples from multiple ordered populations, links the clusters across the conditions and identifies marker genes for these changes. The package was designed for scRNA-Seq data but is also applicable to many other data types, just replace cells with samples and genes with variables. The package also contains functions for estimating the parameters for SparseMDC as outlined in the paper. We recommend that users further select their marker genes using the magnitude of the cluster centers.

This package provides functions for constructing mathematical models of dynamical systems from measured input-output data.

Sentiment Analysis via deep learning and gradient boosting models with a lot of the underlying hassle taken care of to make the process as simple as possible. In addition to out-performing traditional, lexicon-based sentiment analysis (see <https://benwiseman.github.io/sentiment.ai/#Benchmarks>), it also allows the user to create embedding vectors for text which can be used in other analyses. GPU acceleration is supported on Windows and Linux.

An implementation of Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE) <doi:10.1109/TMI.2004.828354>. This method is used when there are multiple raters for an object, typically an image, and this method fuses these ratings into one rating. It uses an expectation-maximization method to estimate this rating and the individual specificity/sensitivity for each rater.
