Identifies constant, additive, multiplicative, and user-defined simplivariate components in numeric data matrices using a genetic algorithm. Supports flexible pattern definitions and provides visualization for general biclustering applications across diverse domains. The method builds on simplivariate models as introduced in Hageman et al. (2008) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0003259> and is related to biclustering frameworks as reviewed by Madeira and Oliveira (2004) <doi:10.1109/TCBB.2004.2>.

This package provides a spatial covariate-augmented overdispersed Poisson factor model is proposed to perform efficient latent representation learning method for high-dimensional large-scale spatial count data with additional covariates.

Given a list of substance compositions, a list of substances involved in a process, and a list of constraints in addition to mass conservation of elementary constituents, the package contains functions to build the substance composition matrix, to analyze the uniqueness of process stoichiometry, and to calculate stoichiometric coefficients if process stoichiometry is unique. (See Reichert, P. and Schuwirth, N., A generic framework for deriving process stoichiometry in enviromental models, Environmental Modelling and Software 25, 1241-1251, 2010 for more details.).

Unsupervised text tokenizer allowing to perform byte pair encoding and unigram modelling. Wraps the sentencepiece library <https://github.com/google/sentencepiece> which provides a language independent tokenizer to split text in words and smaller subword units. The techniques are explained in the paper "SentencePiece: A simple and language independent subword tokenizer and detokenizer for Neural Text Processing" by Taku Kudo and John Richardson (2018) <doi:10.18653/v1/D18-2012>. Provides as well straightforward access to pretrained byte pair encoding models and subword embeddings trained on Wikipedia using word2vec', as described in "BPEmb: Tokenization-free Pre-trained Subword Embeddings in 275 Languages" by Benjamin Heinzerling and Michael Strube (2018) <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2018/pdf/1049.pdf>.

Calculates the sample size needed for evaluating a diagnostic test based on sensitivity, specificity, prevalence, and desired precision. Based on Buderer (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.1553-2712.1996.tb03538.x>.

Traditional model evaluation metrics fail to capture model performance under less than ideal conditions. This package employs techniques to evaluate models "under-stress". This includes testing models extrapolation ability, or testing accuracy on specific sub-samples of the overall model space. Details describing stress-testing methods in this package are provided in Haycock (2023) <doi:10.26076/2am5-9f67>. The other primary contribution of this package is provided to R users access to the Python library PyCaret <https://pycaret.org/> for quick and easy access to auto-tuned machine learning models.

Perform the balanced (Scott and Knott, 1974) and unbalanced <doi:10.1590/1984-70332017v17n1a1> Scott & Knott algorithm.

Data in multidimensional systems is obtained from operational systems and is transformed to adapt it to the new structure. Frequently, the operations to be performed aim to transform a flat table into a star schema. Transformations can be carried out using professional extract, transform and load tools or tools intended for data transformation for end users. With the tools mentioned, this transformation can be carried out, but it requires a lot of work. The main objective of this package is to define transformations that allow obtaining stars from flat tables easily. In addition, it includes basic data cleaning, dimension enrichment, incremental data refresh and query operations, adapted to this context.

Uses logistic regression to model the probability of detection as a function of covariates. This model is then used with observational survey data to estimate population size, while accounting for uncertain detection. See Steinhorst and Samuel (1989).

This package performs mutational signature analysis for targeted sequenced tumors. Unlike the canonical analysis of mutational signatures, SATS factorizes the mutation counts matrix into a panel context matrix (measuring the size of the targeted sequenced genome for each tumor in the unit of million base pairs (Mb)), a signature profile matrix, and a signature activity matrix. SATS also calculates the expected number of mutations attributed by a signature, namely signature burden, for each targeted sequenced tumor. For more details see Lee et al. (2024) <doi:10.1101/2023.05.18.23290188>.

Implementation of the BLEU-Score in C++ to evaluate the quality of generated text. The BLEU-Score, introduced by Papineni et al. (2002) <doi:10.3115/1073083.1073135>, is a metric for evaluating the quality of generated text. It is based on the n-gram overlap between the generated text and reference texts. Additionally, the package provides some smoothing methods as described in Chen and Cherry (2014) <doi:10.3115/v1/W14-3346>.

Perform spatial temporal analysis of moving polygons; a longstanding analysis problem in Geographic Information Systems. Facilitates directional analysis, distance analysis, and some other simple functionality for examining spatial-temporal patterns of moving polygons.

Allows the user to connect with IBGE's (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica, see <https://www.ibge.gov.br/> for more information) SIDRA API in a flexible way. SIDRA is the acronym to "Sistema IBGE de Recuperacao Automatica" and is the system where IBGE turns available aggregate data from their researches.

The President of the United States is constitutionally obligated to provide a report known as the State of the Union'. The report summarizes the current challenges facing the country and the president's upcoming legislative agenda. While historically the State of the Union was often a written document, in recent decades it has always taken the form of an oral address to a joint session of the United States Congress. This package provides the raw text from every such address with the intention of being used for meaningful examples of text analysis in R. The corpus is well suited to the task as it is historically important, includes material intended to be read and material intended to be spoken, and it falls in the public domain. As the corpus spans over two centuries it is also a good test of how well various methods hold up to the idiosyncrasies of historical texts. Associated data about each address, such as the year, president, party, and format, are also included.

Handling of behavioural data from the Ethoscope platform (Geissmann, Garcia Rodriguez, Beckwith, French, Jamasb and Gilestro (2017) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pbio.2003026>). Ethoscopes (<https://giorgiogilestro.notion.site/Ethoscope-User-Manual-a9739373ae9f4840aa45b277f2f0e3a7>) are an open source/open hardware framework made of interconnected raspberry pis (<https://www.raspberrypi.org>) designed to quantify the behaviour of multiple small animals in a distributed and real-time fashion. The default tracking algorithm records primary variables such as xy coordinates, dimensions and speed. This package is part of the rethomics framework <https://rethomics.github.io/>.

Does prediction in the case of a censored survival outcome, or a regression outcome, using the "supervised principal component" approach. Superpc is especially useful for high-dimensional data when the number of features p dominates the number of samples n (p >> n paradigm), as generated, for instance, by high-throughput technologies.

Copula based Cox proportional hazards models for survival data subject to dependent censoring. This approach does not assume that the parameter defining the copula is known. The dependency parameter is estimated with other finite model parameters by maximizing a Pseudo likelihood function. The cumulative hazard function is estimated via estimating equations derived based on martingale ideas. Available copula functions include Frank, Gumbel and Normal copulas. Only Weibull and lognormal models are allowed for the censoring model, even though any parametric model that satisfies certain identifiability conditions could be used. Implemented methods are described in the article "Copula based Cox proportional hazards models for dependent censoring" by Deresa and Van Keilegom (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2022.2161387>.
