The fossil record is a joint expression of ecological, taphonomic, evolutionary, and stratigraphic processes (Holland and Patzkowsky, 2012, ISBN:978-0226649382). This package allowing to simulate biological processes in the time domain (e.g., trait evolution, fossil abundance, phylogenetic trees), and examine how their expression in the rock record (stratigraphic domain) is influenced based on age-depth models, ecological niche models, and taphonomic effects. Functions simulating common processes used in modeling trait evolution, biostratigraphy or event type data such as first/last occurrences are provided and can be used standalone or as part of a pipeline. The package comes with example data sets and tutorials in several vignettes, which can be used as a template to set up one's own simulation.

In practice, it is difficult to determine the number of decomposition modes, K, for Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). To overcome this issue, this study offers Spearman Variational Mode Decomposition (SVMD), a method that uses the Spearman correlation coefficient to calculate the ideal mode number. Unlike the Pearson correlation coefficient, which only returns a perfect value when X and Y are linearly connected, the Spearman correlation can be calculated without knowing the probability distributions of X and Y. The Spearman correlation coefficient, also called Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, is a subset of a wider correlation coefficient. As VMD decomposes a signal, the Spearman correlation coefficient between the reconstructed and original sequences rises as the mode number K increases. Once the signal has been fully decomposed, subsequent increases in K cause the correlation to gradually level off. When the correlation reaches a specific level, VMD is said to have adequately decomposed the signal. Numerous experiments revealed that a threshold of 0.997 produces the best denoising effect, so the threshold is set at 0.997. This package has been developed using concept of Yang et al. (2021)<doi:10.1016/j.aej.2021.01.055>.

It's a Super K-Nearest Neighbor(SKNN) classification method with using kernel density to describe weight of the distance between a training observation and the testing sample. Comparison of performance between SKNN and KNN shows that SKNN is significantly superior to KNN.

This package provides functions to calculate indices for soundscape ecology and other ecology research that uses audio recordings.

It is a hybrid spatial model that combines the variable selection capabilities of stepwise regression methods with the predictive power of the Geographically Weighted Regression(GWR) model.The developed hybrid model follows a two-step approach where the stepwise variable selection method is applied first to identify the subset of predictors that have the most significant impact on the response variable, and then a GWR model is fitted using those selected variables for spatial prediction at test or unknown locations. For method details,see Leung, Y., Mei, C. L. and Zhang, W. X. (2000).<DOI:10.1068/a3162>.This hybrid spatial model aims to improve the accuracy and interpretability of GWR predictions by selecting a subset of relevant variables through a stepwise selection process.This approach is particularly useful for modeling spatially varying relationships and improving the accuracy of spatial predictions.

Function for the computation of fractal dimension based on mass of soil particle size distribution by Tyler & Wheatcraft (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600020005x>. It also provides functions for calculation of mean weight and geometric mean diameter of particle size distribution by Perfect et al. (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600050012x>.

This package implements the routines and algorithms developed and analysed in "Multiple Systems Estimation for Sparse Capture Data: Inferential Challenges when there are Non-Overlapping Lists" Chan, L, Silverman, B. W., Vincent, K (2019) <arXiv:1902.05156>. This package explicitly handles situations where there are pairs of lists which have no observed individuals in common. It deals correctly with parameters whose estimated values can be considered as being negative infinity. It also addresses other possible issues of non-existence and non-identifiability of maximum likelihood estimates.

This package provides a facility to generate sliced (orthogonal) Latin hypercube designs with four and five slices. For details about sliced and orthogonal Latin hypercube designs, see Yang, J.

There are additional functions which provide power and type I error calculations, create graphs (particularly suited for large-scale inference usage), and a function to estimate false discovery rates based on second-generation p-value inference.

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>.
