Randomization of presence/absence species distribution raster data with or without including spatial structure for calculating standardized effect sizes and testing null hypothesis. The randomization algorithms are based on classical algorithms for matrices (Gotelli 2000, <doi:10.2307/177478>) implemented for raster data.

It allows to rapidly compute, bootstrap and plot up to fourth-order Sobol'-based sensitivity indices using several state-of-the-art first and total-order estimators. Sobol indices can be computed either for models that yield a scalar as a model output or for systems of differential equations. The package also provides a suit of benchmark tests functions and several options to obtain publication-ready figures of the model output uncertainty and sensitivity-related analysis. An overview of the package can be found in Puy et al. (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i05>.

Evaluating probabilistic forecasts via proper scoring rules. scoring implements the beta, power, and pseudospherical families of proper scoring rules, along with ordered versions of the latter two families. Included among these families are popular rules like the Brier (quadratic) score, logarithmic score, and spherical score. For two-alternative forecasts, also includes functionality for plotting scores that one would obtain under specific scoring rules.

This package provides function for area level of small area estimation using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) method with Zero-Inflated Binomial distribution for variables of interest. Some dataset produced by a data generation are also provided. The rjags package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involves the HB estimators which include the mean and the variation of mean.

This package provides tools for fitting self-validated ensemble models (SVEM; Lemkus et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2021.104439>) in small-sample design-of-experiments and related workflows, using elastic net and relaxed elastic net regression via glmnet (Friedman et al. (2010) <doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i01>). Fractional random-weight bootstraps with anti-correlated validation copies are used to tune penalty paths by validation-weighted AIC/BIC. Supports Gaussian and binomial responses, deterministic expansion helpers for shared factor spaces, prediction with bootstrap uncertainty, and a random-search optimizer that respects mixture constraints and combines multiple responses via desirability functions. Also includes a permutation-based whole-model test for Gaussian SVEM fits (Karl (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2024.105122>). Package code was drafted with assistance from generative AI tools.

Fits Bayesian hierarchical spatial and spatial-temporal process models for point-referenced Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, and binary data using stacking of predictive densities. It involves sampling from analytically available posterior distributions conditional upon candidate values of the spatial process parameters and, subsequently assimilate inference from these individual posterior distributions using Bayesian predictive stacking. Our algorithm is highly parallelizable and hence, much faster than traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms while delivering competitive predictive performance. See Zhang, Tang, and Banerjee (2025) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2025.2566449>, and, Pan, Zhang, Bradley, and Banerjee (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.04655> for details.

This package provides an efficient framework for high-dimensional linear and diagonal discriminant analysis with variable selection. The classifier is trained using James-Stein-type shrinkage estimators and predictor variables are ranked using correlation-adjusted t-scores (CAT scores). Variable selection error is controlled using false non-discovery rates or higher criticism.

This package implements the "Residual (Sur)Realism" algorithm described by Stefanski (2007) <doi:10.1198/000313007X190079> to generate datasets that reveal hidden images or messages in their residual plots. It offers both predefined datasets and tools to embed custom text or images into residual structures. Allowing users to create intriguing visual demonstrations for teaching model diagnostics.

This package implements the Simple Non-Iterative Clustering algorithm for superpixel segmentation of multi-band images, as introduced by Achanta and Susstrunk (2017) <doi:10.1109/CVPR.2017.520>. Supports both standard image arrays and geospatial raster objects, with a design that can be extended to other spatial data frameworks. The algorithm groups adjacent pixels into compact, coherent regions based on spectral similarity and spatial proximity. A high-performance implementation supports images with arbitrary spectral bands.

Hyvärinen's score matching (Hyvärinen, 2005) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v6/hyvarinen05a.html> is a useful estimation technique when the normalising constant for a probability distribution is difficult to compute. This package implements score matching estimators using automatic differentiation in the CppAD library <https://github.com/coin-or/CppAD> and is designed for quickly implementing score matching estimators for new models. Also available is general robustification (Windham, 1995) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2346159>. Already in the package are estimators for directional distributions (Mardia, Kent and Laha, 2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1604.08470> and the flexible Polynomially-Tilted Pairwise Interaction model for compositional data. The latter estimators perform well when there are zeros in the compositions (Scealy and Wood, 2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.2016422>, even many zeros (Scealy, Hingee, Kent, and Wood, 2024) <doi:10.1007/s11222-024-10412-w>. A partial interface to CppAD's ADFun objects is also available.

Use behavioural variables to score activity and infer sleep from bouts of immobility. It is primarily designed to score sleep in fruit flies from Drosophila Activity Monitor (TriKinetics) and Ethoscope data. It implements sleep scoring using the "five-minute rule" (Hendricks et al. (2000) <DOI:10.1016/S0896-6273(00)80877-6>), activity classification for Ethoscopes (Geissmann et al. (2017) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pbio.2003026>) and a new algorithm to detect when animals are dead.

Perform survival simulation with parametric survival model generated from survreg function in survival package. In each simulation coefficients are resampled from variance-covariance matrix of parameter estimates to capture uncertainty in model parameters. Prediction intervals of Kaplan-Meier estimates and hazard ratio of treatment effect can be further calculated using simulated survival data.

The Subsemble algorithm is a general subset ensemble prediction method, which can be used for small, moderate, or large datasets. Subsemble partitions the full dataset into subsets of observations, fits a specified underlying algorithm on each subset, and uses a unique form of k-fold cross-validation to output a prediction function that combines the subset-specific fits. An oracle result provides a theoretical performance guarantee for Subsemble. The paper, "Subsemble: An ensemble method for combining subset-specific algorithm fits" is authored by Stephanie Sapp, Mark J. van der Laan & John Canny (2014) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2013.864263>.

Download data (tables and datasets) from the Swiss National Bank (SNB; <https://www.snb.ch/en>), the Swiss central bank. The package is lightweight and comes with few dependencies; suggested packages are used only if data is to be transformed into particular data structures, for instance into zoo objects. Downloaded data can optionally be cached, to avoid repeated downloads of the same files.

To calculate the standard error of measurement (SEM) to assess the observer variability (inter- and intra-observer variation). The methods used in this package are referenced from Zoran B. PopoviÄ (2017) <doi:10.21037/cdt.2017.03.12>.

This package provides a set of basic functions for creating Moodle XML output files suited for importing questions in Moodle (a learning management system, see <https://moodle.org/> for more information).

This package provides a set of tools inspired by Stata to explore data.frames ('summarize', tabulate', xtile', pctile', binscatter', elapsed quarters/month, lead/lag).

Annotates single-cell and spatial-transcriptomic (ST) data using context-matching marker datasets. It creates a unified marker list (`Markers_list`) from multiple sources: built-in curated databases ('Cellmarker2', PanglaoDB', scIBD', TCellSI', PCTIT', PCTAM'), Seurat objects with cell labels, or user-provided Excel tables. SlimR first uses adaptive machine learning for parameter optimization, and then offers two automated annotation approaches: cluster-based and per-cell'. Cluster-based annotation assigns one label per cluster, expression-based probability calculation, and AUC validation. Per-cell annotation assigns labels to individual cells using three scoring methods with adaptive thresholds and ratio-based confidence filtering, plus optional UMAP spatial smoothing, making it ideal for heterogeneous clusters and rare cell types. The package also supports semi-automated workflows with heatmaps, feature plots, and combined visualizations for manual annotation. For more details, see Kabacoff (2020, ISBN:9787115420572).

This package provides a tool for working with SQLite databases. SQLite has some idiosyncrasies and limitations that impose some hurdles to the R developer who is using this database as a repository. For instance, SQLite doesn't have a date type and sqliteutils has some functions to deal with that.

In various domains, many datasets exhibit both high variable dependency and group structures, which necessitates their simultaneous estimation. This package provides functions for two subgroup identification methods based on penalized functions, both of which utilize factor model structures to adapt to data with cross-sectional dependency. The first method is the Subgroup Identification with Latent Factor Structure Method (SILFSM) we proposed. By employing Center-Augmented Regularization and factor structures, the SILFSM effectively eliminates data dependencies while identifying subgroups within datasets. For this model, we offer optimization functions based on two different methods: Coordinate Descent and our newly developed Difference of Convex-Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (DC-ADMM) algorithms; the latter can be applied to cases where the distance function in Center-Augmented Regularization takes L1 and L2 forms. The other method is the Factor-Adjusted Pairwise Fusion Penalty (FA-PFP) model, which incorporates factor augmentation into the Pairwise Fusion Penalty (PFP) developed by Ma, S. and Huang, J. (2017) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1148039>. Additionally, we provide a function for the Standard CAR (S-CAR) method, which does not consider the dependency and is for comparative analysis with other approaches. Furthermore, functions based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) of the SILFSM and the FA-PFP method are also included in SILFS for selecting tuning parameters. For more details of Subgroup Identification with Latent Factor Structure Method, please refer to He et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2407.00882>.

This package implements methods for obtaining kernel density estimates subject to a variety of shape constraints (unimodality, bimodality, symmetry, tail monotonicity, bounds, and constraints on the number of inflection points). Enforcing constraints can eliminate unwanted waves or kinks in the estimate, which improves its subjective appearance and can also improve statistical performance. The main function scdensity() is very similar to the density() function in stats', allowing shape-restricted estimates to be obtained with little effort. The methods implemented in this package are described in Wolters and Braun (2017) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2017.1288247>, Wolters (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v047.i06>, and Hall and Huang (2002) <https://www3.stat.sinica.edu.tw/statistica/j12n4/j12n41/j12n41.htm>. See the scdensity() help for for full citations.

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.
