This package provides functions and datasets from Jones, O.D., R. Maillardet, and A.P. Robinson. 2014. An Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation, Using R. 2nd Ed. Chapman And Hall/CRC.

Provide a workflow to jointly embed chromatin accessibility peaks and expressed genes into a shared low-dimensional space using paired single-cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. It integrates regulatory relationships among peak-peak interactions (via Cicero'), peak-gene interactions (via Lasso, random forest, and XGBoost), and gene-gene interactions (via principal component regression). With the input of paired scATAC-seq and scRNA-seq data matrices, it assigns a low-dimensional feature vector to each gene and peak. Additionally, it supports the reconstruction of gene-gene network with low-dimensional projections (via epsilon-NN) and then the comparison of the networks of two conditions through manifold alignment implemented in scTenifoldNet'. See <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaf483> for more details.

Includes four functions: RFactor_calc(), RFactor_est(), KFactor() and SoilLoss(). The rainfall erosivity factors can be calculated or estimated, and soil erodibility will be estimated by the equation extracted from the monograph. Soil loss will be estimated by the product of five factors (rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, length and steepness slope, cover-management factor and support practice factor. In the future, additional functions can be included. This efforts to advance research in soil and water conservation, with fast and accurate results.

Structurally guided sampling (SGS) approaches for airborne laser scanning (ALS; LIDAR). Primary functions provide means to generate data-driven stratifications & methods for allocating samples. Intermediate functions for calculating and extracting important information about input covariates and samples are also included. Processing outcomes are intended to help forest and environmental management practitioners better optimize field sample placement as well as assess and augment existing sample networks in the context of data distributions and conditions. ALS data is the primary intended use case, however any rasterized remote sensing data can be used, enabling data-driven stratifications and sampling approaches.

Effect modification occurs if a treatment effect is larger or more stable in certain subgroups defined by observed covariates. The submax or subgroup-maximum method of Lee et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/biom.12884> does an overall test and separate tests in subgroups, correcting for multiple testing using the joint distribution.

This package implements the generalized semi-supervised elastic-net. This method extends the supervised elastic-net problem, and thus it is a practical solution to the problem of feature selection in semi-supervised contexts. Its mathematical formulation is presented from a general perspective, covering a wide range of models. We focus on linear and logistic responses, but the implementation could be easily extended to other losses in generalized linear models. We develop a flexible and fast implementation, written in C++ using RcppArmadillo and integrated into R via Rcpp modules. See Culp, M. 2013 <doi:10.1080/10618600.2012.657139> for references on the Joint Trained Elastic-Net.

This package provides a programmatic interface to many species occurrence data sources, including Global Biodiversity Information Facility ('GBIF'), iNaturalist', eBird', Integrated Digitized Biocollections ('iDigBio'), VertNet', Ocean Biogeographic Information System ('OBIS'), and Atlas of Living Australia ('ALA'). Includes functionality for retrieving species occurrence data, and combining those data.

Define and evaluate treatment-specific means, the average treatment effects and coefficients from working marginal structural models. User interface designed to facilitate the conduct of transparent and reproducible simulation studies, and allows concise expression of complex functional dependencies for a large number of time-varying nodes. See the package vignette for more information, documentation and examples.

Compare directories flexibly (by date, content, or both) and synchronize files efficiently, with asymmetric and symmetric modes, helper tools, and visualization support for file management.

This package provides a pipeline for the comparative analysis of collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, baboon troops) by processing 2-dimensional positional data (x,y,t) from GPS trackers or computer vision tracking systems, discretizing events of collective motion, calculating a set of established metrics that characterize each event, and placing the events in a multi-dimensional swarm space constructed from these metrics. The swarm space concept, the metrics and data sets included are described in: Papadopoulou Marina, Furtbauer Ines, O'Bryan Lisa R., Garnier Simon, Georgopoulou Dimitra G., Bracken Anna M., Christensen Charlotte and King Andrew J. (2023) <doi:10.1098/rstb.2022.0068>.

This package provides a set of statistical tools for spatio-temporal data exploration. Includes simple plotting functions, covariance calculations and computations similar to principal component analysis for spatio-temporal data. Can use both dataframes and stars objects for all plots and computations. For more details refer Spatio-Temporal Statistics with R (Christopher K. Wikle, Andrew Zammit-Mangion, Noel Cressie, 2019, ISBN:9781138711136).

This package creates stratum orthogonal arrays (also known as strong orthogonal arrays). These are arrays with more levels per column than the typical orthogonal array, and whose low order projections behave like orthogonal arrays, when collapsing levels to coarser strata. Details are described in Groemping (2022) "A unifying implementation of stratum (aka strong) orthogonal arrays" <http://www1.bht-berlin.de/FB_II/reports/Report-2022-002.pdf>.

Calculate geolocations by light using template matching. The routine uses a calibration free optimization of a sky illuminance model to determine locations robustly using a template matching approach, as described by Ekstrom (2004) <https://nipr.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2496>, and behaviourly informed constraints (step-selection).

Make graphical representations of single case data and transform graphical displays back to raw data, as discussed in Bulte and Onghena (2013) <doi:10.22237/jmasm/1383280020>. The package also includes tools for visually analyzing single-case data, by displaying central location, variability and trend.

This package provides tools for transport planning with an emphasis on spatial transport data and non-motorized modes. The package was originally developed to support the Propensity to Cycle Tool', a publicly available strategic cycle network planning tool (Lovelace et al. 2017) <doi:10.5198/jtlu.2016.862>, but has since been extended to support public transport routing and accessibility analysis (Moreno-Monroy et al. 2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2017.08.012> and routing with locally hosted routing engines such as OSRM (Lowans et al. 2023) <doi:10.1016/j.enconman.2023.117337>. The main functions are for creating and manipulating geographic "desire lines" from origin-destination (OD) data (building on the od package); calculating routes on the transport network locally and via interfaces to routing services such as <https://cyclestreets.net/> (Desjardins et al. 2021) <doi:10.1007/s11116-021-10197-1>; and calculating route segment attributes such as bearing. The package implements the travel flow aggregration method described in Morgan and Lovelace (2020) <doi:10.1177/2399808320942779> and the OD jittering method described in Lovelace et al. (2022) <doi:10.32866/001c.33873>. Further information on the package's aim and scope can be found in the vignettes and in a paper in the R Journal (Lovelace and Ellison 2018) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-053>, and in a paper outlining the landscape of open source software for geographic methods in transport planning (Lovelace, 2021) <doi:10.1007/s10109-020-00342-2>.

This is a compilation of my preferred themes and related theme elements for ggplot2'. I believe these themes and theme elements are aesthetically pleasing, both for pedagogical instruction and for the presentation of applied statistical research to a wide audience. These themes imply routine use of easily obtained/free fonts, simple forms of which are included in this package.

This package provides functions to filter GPS/Argos locations, as well as assessing the sample size for the analysis of animal distributions. The filters remove temporal and spatial duplicates, fixes located at a given height from estimated high tide line, and locations with high error as described in Shimada et al. (2012) <doi:10.3354/meps09747> and Shimada et al. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00227-015-2771-0>. Sample size for the analysis of animal distributions can be assessed by the conventional area-based approach or the alternative probability-based approach as described in Shimada et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13506>.
