The Slow Digestibility Index (SDI) is a tool that helps users evaluate the slow-digestion properties of crops or food matrices by combining multiple factors into a single score. It considers parameters related to starch composition [total starch (TS), amylose/amylopectin ratio (Aratio), total amylose content (TAC), and total amylopectin content (TAPC)], starch digestibility [rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS)], structural properties [relative crystallinity (RC)], non-starch components [total protein, total oil content (TOC), and total phenolic content (TPC)], and pasting behaviour [peak viscosity (PV), pasting temperature (PT), holding strength (HS), and final viscosity (FV)].The SDI is flexible and allows users to calculate the index using all parameters or only selected ones, depending on the data available. Users can also compute a starch-based SDI (using only starch-related parameters) or a principal component analysis (PCA)-based SDI, where weights are determined automatically from the data. Thus, the SDI provides a simple way to compare and rank crops or food samples based on their slow digestion potential. The package implements SDI(),starchSDI(), genSDI(), scoreSDI(), and pcaSDI() for estimating slow digestibility index using predefined weighted TOPSIS, starch-specific TOPSIS, user-defined weighted TOPSIS, score-based normalization, and PCA based approaches, respectively. The package has been developed using the algorithm of Pandey et al. (2026) <doi:10.1016/j.jff.2026.107208>.

Simulates regression models, including both simple regression and generalized linear mixed models with up to three level of nesting. Power simulations that are flexible allowing the specification of missing data, unbalanced designs, and different random error distributions are built into the package.

This package provides an S4 class for representing and interacting with sparse plus rank matrices. At the moment the implementation is quite spare, but the plan is eventually subclass Matrix objects.

This package provides functions to install SciViews additions to R, and more tools.

This package provides functions to be used in conjunction with the Sequential package that allows for planning of observational database studies that will be analyzed with exact sequential analysis. This package supports Poisson- and binomial-based data. The primary function, seq_wrapper(...), accepts parameters for simulation of a simple exposure pattern and for the Sequential package setup and analysis functions. The exposure matrix is used to simulate the true and false positive and negative populations (Green (1983) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a113521>, Brenner (1993) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a116805>). Functions are then run from the Sequential package on these populations, which allows for the exploration of outcome misclassification in data.

Flexible multidimensional scaling (MDS) methods and extensions to the package smacof'. This package contains various functions, wrappers, methods and classes for fitting, plotting and displaying a large number of different flexible MDS models. These are: Torgerson scaling (Torgerson, 1958, ISBN:978-0471879459) with powers, Sammon mapping (Sammon, 1969, <doi:10.1109/T-C.1969.222678>) with ratio and interval optimal scaling, Multiscale MDS (Ramsay, 1977, <doi:10.1007/BF02294052>) with ratio and interval optimal scaling, s-stress MDS (ALSCAL; Takane, Young & De Leeuw, 1977, <doi:10.1007/BF02293745>) with ratio and interval optimal scaling, elastic scaling (McGee, 1966, <doi:10.1111/j.2044-8317.1966.tb00367.x>) with ratio and interval optimal scaling, r-stress MDS (De Leeuw, Groenen & Mair, 2016, <https://rpubs.com/deleeuw/142619>) with ratio, interval, splines and nonmetric optimal scaling, power-stress MDS (POST-MDS; Buja & Swayne, 2002 <doi:10.1007/s00357-001-0031-0>) with ratio and interval optimal scaling, restricted power-stress (Rusch, Mair & Hornik, 2021, <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1869027>) with ratio and interval optimal scaling, approximate power-stress with ratio optimal scaling (Rusch, Mair & Hornik, 2021, <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1869027>), Box-Cox MDS (Chen & Buja, 2013, <https://jmlr.org/papers/v14/chen13a.html>), local MDS (Chen & Buja, 2009, <doi:10.1198/jasa.2009.0111>), curvilinear component analysis (Demartines & Herault, 1997, <doi:10.1109/72.554199>), curvilinear distance analysis (Lee, Lendasse & Verleysen, 2004, <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2004.01.007>), nonlinear MDS with optimal dissimilarity powers functions (De Leeuw, 2024, <https://github.com/deleeuw/smacofManual/blob/main/smacofPO(power)/smacofPO.pdf>), sparsified (power) MDS and sparsified multidimensional (power) distance analysis aka extended curvilinear (power) component analysis and extended curvilinear (power) distance analysis (Rusch, 2024, <doi:10.57938/355bf835-ddb7-42f4-8b85-129799fc240e>). Some functions are suitably flexible to allow any other sensible combination of explicit power transformations for weights, distances and input proximities with implicit ratio, interval, splines or nonmetric optimal scaling of the input proximities. Most functions use a Majorization-Minimization algorithm. Currently the methods are only available for one-mode two-way data (symmetric dissimilarity matrices).

Fast, lightweight toolkit for data splitting. Data sets can be partitioned into disjoint groups (e.g. into training, validation, and test) or into (repeated) k-folds for subsequent cross-validation. Besides basic splits, the package supports stratified, grouped as well as blocked splitting. Furthermore, cross-validation folds for time series data can be created. See e.g. Hastie et al. (2001) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-84858-7> for the basic background on data partitioning and cross-validation.

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.

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 a coherent interface for exploring and transforming multiple related data frames that share a common structure. Complements single-dataset inspection tools by operating across an entire collection at once. Also includes lightweight utilities for related file and folder management tasks.

An introduction to several novel predictive variable selection methods for random forest. They are based on various variable importance methods (i.e., averaged variable importance (AVI), and knowledge informed AVI (i.e., KIAVI, and KIAVI2)) and predictive accuracy in stepwise algorithms. For details of the variable selection methods, please see: Li, J., Siwabessy, J., Huang, Z. and Nichol, S. (2019) <doi:10.3390/geosciences9040180>.

This package provides a set of consistent, opinionated functions to quickly check function arguments, coerce them to the desired configuration, or deliver informative error messages when that is not possible.

Combining Predictive Analytics and Experimental Design to Optimize Results. To be utilized to select a test data calibrated training population in high dimensional prediction problems and assumes that the explanatory variables are observed for all of the individuals. Once a "good" training set is identified, the response variable can be obtained only for this set to build a model for predicting the response in the test set. The algorithms in the package can be tweaked to solve some other subset selection problems.

This package provides a framework for extracting semantic motifs around entities in textual data. It implements an entity-centered semantic grammar that distinguishes six classes of motifs: actions of an entity, treatments of an entity, agents acting upon an entity, patients acted upon by an entity, characterizations of an entity, and possessions of an entity. Motifs are identified by applying a set of extraction rules to a parsed text object that includes part-of-speech tags and dependency annotations - such as those generated by spacyr'.
