The goal of snpsettest is to provide simple tools that perform set-based association tests (e.g., gene-based association tests) using GWAS (genome-wide association study) summary statistics. A set-based association test in this package is based on the statistical model described in VEGAS (versatile gene-based association study), which combines the effects of a set of SNPs accounting for linkage disequilibrium between markers. This package uses a different approach from the original VEGAS implementation to compute set-level p values more efficiently, as described in <https://github.com/HimesGroup/snpsettest/wiki/Statistical-test-in-snpsettest>.

This package implements the SISAL algorithm by Tikka and Hollmén. It is a sequential backward selection algorithm which uses a linear model in a cross-validation setting. Starting from the full model, one variable at a time is removed based on the regression coefficients. From this set of models, a parsimonious (sparse) model is found by choosing the model with the smallest number of variables among those models where the validation error is smaller than a threshold. Also implements extensions which explore larger parts of the search space and/or use ridge regression instead of ordinary least squares.

We propose a procedure for sample size calculation while controlling false discovery rate for RNA-seq experimental design. Our procedure depends on the Voom method proposed for RNA-seq data analysis by Law et al. (2014) <DOI:10.1186/gb-2014-15-2-r29> and the sample size calculation method proposed for microarray experiments by Liu and Hwang (2007) <DOI:10.1093/bioinformatics/btl664>. We develop a set of functions that calculates appropriate sample sizes for two-sample t-test for RNA-seq experiments with fixed or varied set of parameters. The outputs also contain a plot of power versus sample size, a table of power at different sample sizes, and a table of critical test values at different sample sizes.

This package provides a tool for bootstrapping new packages with useful defaults, including a test suite outline that passes checks and helpers for running tests, checking test coverage, building vignettes, and more. Package skeletons it creates are set up for pushing your package to GitHub and using other hosted services for building and test automation.

This package provides functions for generating Standardized Climate Indices (SCI). Functions for generating Standardized Climate Indices (SCI). SCI is a transformation of (smoothed) climate (or environmental) time series that removes seasonality and forces the data to take values of the standard normal distribution. SCI was originally developed for precipitation. In this case it is known as the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI).

Scaffold an entire web-based report using template chunks, based on a small chapter overview and a dataset. Highly adaptable with prefixes, suffixes, translations, etc. Also contains tools for password-protecting, e.g. for each organization's report on a website. Developed for the common case of a survey across multiple organizations/sites where each organization wants to obtain results for their organization compared with everyone else. See saros (<https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=saros>) for tools used for authors in the drafted reports.

Calculates ratings for two-player or multi-player challenges. Methods included in package such as are able to estimate ratings (players strengths) and their evolution in time, also able to predict output of challenge. Algorithms are based on Bayesian Approximation Method, and they don't involve any matrix inversions nor likelihood estimation. Parameters are updated sequentially, and computation doesn't require any additional RAM to make estimation feasible. Additionally, base of the package is written in C++ what makes sport computation even faster. Methods used in the package refer to Mark E. Glickman (1999) <https://www.glicko.net/research/glicko.pdf>; Mark E. Glickman (2001) <doi:10.1080/02664760120059219>; Ruby C.

Modern classes for tracking and movement data, building on sf spatial infrastructure, and early theoretical work from Turchin (1998, ISBN: 9780878938476), and Calenge et al. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.ecoinf.2008.10.002>. Tracking data are series of locations with at least 2-dimensional spatial coordinates (x,y), a time index (t), and individual identification (id) of the object being monitored; movement data are made of trajectories, i.e. the line representation of the path, composed by steps (the straight-line segments connecting successive locations). sftrack is designed to handle movement of both living organisms and inanimate objects.

Fits time trend models for routine disease surveillance tasks and returns probability distributions for a variety of quantities of interest, including age-standardized rates, period and cumulative percent change, and measures of health inequality. The models are appropriate for count data such as disease incidence and mortality data, employing a Poisson or binomial likelihood and the first-difference (random-walk) prior for unknown risk. Optionally add a covariance matrix for multiple, correlated time series models. Inference is completed using Markov chain Monte Carlo via the Stan modeling language.

This package provides a curated set of colors that are called using a standardized syntax: saturation + hue + lightness. For example, "brightblue4" and "mutedred2". Functions exists to return individual colors by name or to build palettes across or within hues. Most functions allow you to visualize the palettes in addition to returning the desired hex codes.
