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>.

Provision of the S4 SpatialGraph class built on top of objects provided by igraph and sp packages, and associated utilities. See the documentation of the SpatialGraph-class within this package for further description. An example of how from a few points one can arrive to a SpatialGraph is provided in the function sl2sg().

This package contains all the formulae of the growth and trace element uptake model described in the equally-named Geoscientific Model Development paper (de Winter, 2017, <doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137>). The model takes as input a file with X- and Y-coordinates of digitized growth increments recognized on a longitudinal cross section through the bivalve shell, as well as a BMP file of an elemental map of the cross section surface with chemically distinct phases separated by phase analysis. It proceeds by a step-by-step process described in the paper, by which digitized growth increments are used to calculate changes in shell height, shell thickness, shell volume, shell mass and shell growth rate through the bivalve's life time. Then, results of this growth modelling are combined with the trace element mapping results to trace the incorporation of trace elements into the bivalve shell. Results of various modelling parameters can be exported in the form of XLSX files.

The algorithms implement the methods described Z. Xing, P. Carbonetto & M. Stephens (2021) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v22/19-042.html>.

An implementation of split-population duration regression models. Unlike regular duration models, split-population duration models are mixture models that accommodate the presence of a sub-population that is not at risk for failure, e.g. cancer patients who have been cured by treatment. This package implements Weibull and Loglogistic forms for the duration component, and focuses on data with time-varying covariates. These models were originally formulated in Boag (1949) and Berkson and Gage (1952), and extended in Schmidt and Witte (1989).

M-estimators of location and shape following the power family (Frahm, Nordhausen, Oja (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2019.104569>) are provided in the case of complete data and also when observations have missing values together with functions aiding their visualization.

In forensics, it is common and effective practice to analyse glass fragments from the scene and suspects to gain evidence of placing a suspect at the crime scene. This kind of analysis involves comparing the physical and chemical attributes of glass fragments that exist on both the person and at the crime scene, and assessing the significance in a likeness that they share. The package implements the Scott-Knott Modification 2 algorithm (SKM2) (Christopher M. Triggs and James M. Curran and John S. Buckleton and Kevan A.J. Walsh (1997) <doi:10.1016/S0379-0738(96)02037-3> "The grouping problem in forensic glass analysis: a divisive approach", Forensic Science International, 85(1), 1--14) for small sample glass fragment analysis using the refractive index (ri) of a set of glass samples. It also includes an experimental multivariate analog to the Scott-Knott algorithm for similar analysis on glass samples with multiple chemical concentration variables and multiple samples of the same item; testing against the Hotellings T^2 distribution (J.M. Curran and C.M. Triggs and J.R. Almirall and J.S. Buckleton and K.A.J. Walsh (1997) <doi:10.1016/S1355-0306(97)72197-X> "The interpretation of elemental composition measurements from forensic glass evidence", Science & Justice, 37(4), 241--244).

This package implements spatial error estimation and permutation-based variable importance measures for predictive models using spatial cross-validation and spatial block bootstrap.

The goal of surveynnet is to extend the functionality of nnet', which already supports survey weights, by enabling it to handle clustered and stratified data. It achieves this by incorporating design effects through the use of effective sample sizes as outlined by Chen and Rust (2017), <doi:10.1093/jssam/smw036>, and performed by deffCR in the package PracTools (Valliant, Dever, and Kreuter (2018), <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-93632-1>).

This package provides tools to conduct interpretable sensitivity analyses for weighted estimators, introduced in Huang (2024) <doi:10.1093/jrsssa/qnae012> and Hartman and Huang (2024) <doi:10.1017/pan.2023.12>. The package allows researchers to generate the set of recommended sensitivity summaries to evaluate the sensitivity in their underlying weighting estimators to omitted moderators or confounders. The tools can be flexibly applied in causal inference settings (i.e., in external and internal validity contexts) or survey contexts.

This package provides a set of functions for computing potential evapotranspiration and several widely used drought indices including the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI).

This package provides a matrix-like class to represent a symmetric matrix partitioned into file-backed blocks.

Fits Bayesian spatio-temporal models and makes predictions on stream networks using the approach by Santos-Fernandez, Edgar, et al. (2022)."Bayesian spatio-temporal models for stream networks". <arXiv:2103.03538>. In these models, spatial dependence is captured using stream distance and flow connectivity, while temporal autocorrelation is modelled using vector autoregression methods.

Add a searchbar widget to your Shiny application. The widget quickly integrates with any existing element containing text to highlight matches. Highlighting is done with the JavaScript library mark.js'. The widget includes buttons to cycle through multiple instances of the match and automatically scroll to the matches in an overflow element (or window). The widget also displays the total number of matches and which match is currently being cycled through. The widget is structured as a Bootstrap 3 input group.

Fits spatial scale (SS) forward stepwise regression, SS incremental forward stagewise regression, SS least angle regression (LARS), and SS lasso models. All area-level covariates are considered at all available scales to enter a model, but the SS algorithms are constrained to select each area-level covariate at a single spatial scale.

Single cell resolution data has been valuable in learning about tissue microenvironments and interactions between cells or spots. This package allows for the simulation of this level of data, be it single cell or â spotsâ , in both a univariate (single metric or cell type) and bivariate (2 or more metrics or cell types) ways. As more technologies come to marker, more methods will be developed to derive spatial metrics from the data which will require a way to benchmark methods against each other. Additionally, as the field currently stands, there is not a gold standard method to be compared against. We set out to develop an R package that will allow users to simulate point patterns that can be biologically informed from different tissue domains, holes, and varying degrees of clustering/colocalization. The data can be exported as spatial files and a summary file (like HALO'). <https://github.com/FridleyLab/scSpatialSIM/>.
