This program calculates bioclimatic indices and fluxes (radiation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture) for use in studies of ecosystem function, species distribution, and vegetation dynamics under changing climate scenarios. Predictions are based on a minimum of required inputs: latitude, precipitation, air temperature, and cloudiness. Davis et al. (2017) <doi:10.5194/gmd-10-689-2017>.

Fit latent variable models with the GEV distribution as the data likelihood and the GEV parameters following latent Gaussian processes. The models in this package are built using the template model builder TMB in R, which has the fast ability to integrate out the latent variables using Laplace approximation. This package allows the users to choose in the fit function which GEV parameter(s) is considered as a spatially varying random effect following a Gaussian process, so the users can fit spatial GEV models with different complexities to their dataset without having to write the models in TMB by themselves. This package also offers methods to sample from both fixed and random effects posteriors as well as the posterior predictive distributions at different spatial locations. Methods for fitting this class of models are described in Chen, Ramezan, and Lysy (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2110.07051>.

The nonparametric trend and its derivatives in equidistant time series (TS) with short-memory stationary errors can be estimated. The estimation is conducted via local polynomial regression using an automatically selected bandwidth obtained by a built-in iterative plug-in algorithm or a bandwidth fixed by the user. A Nadaraya-Watson kernel smoother is also built-in as a comparison. With version 1.1.0, a linearity test for the trend function, forecasting methods and backtesting approaches are implemented as well. The smoothing methods of the package are described in Feng, Y., Gries, T., and Fritz, M. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10485252.2020.1759598>.

Quality control charts for survival outcomes. Allows users to construct the Continuous Time Generalized Rapid Response CUSUM (CGR-CUSUM) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxac041>, the Biswas & Kalbfleisch (2008) <doi:10.1002/sim.3216> CUSUM, the Bernoulli CUSUM and the risk-adjusted funnel plot for survival data <doi:10.1002/sim.1970>. These procedures can be used to monitor survival processes for a change in the failure rate.

This package implements multi-study learning algorithms such as merging, the study-specific ensemble (trained-on-observed-studies ensemble) the study strap, the covariate-matched study strap, covariate-profile similarity weighting, and stacking weights. Embedded within the caret framework, this package allows for a wide range of single-study learners (e.g., neural networks, lasso, random forests). The package offers over 20 default similarity measures and allows for specification of custom similarity measures for covariate-profile similarity weighting and an accept/reject step. This implements methods described in Loewinger, Kishida, Patil, and Parmigiani. (2019) <doi:10.1101/856385>.

Smoothing signals and computing their derivatives is a common requirement in signal processing workflows. Savitzky-Golay filters are a established method able to do both (Savitzky and Golay, 1964 <doi:10.1021/ac60214a047>). This package implements one dimensional Savitzky-Golay filters that can be applied to vectors and matrices (either row-wise or column-wise). Vectorization and memory allocations have been profiled to reduce computational fingerprint. Short filter lengths are implemented in the direct space, while longer filters are implemented in frequency space, using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).

Package functions and methods are described in Turner et al. (2021) "skater: An R package for SNP-based Kinship Analysis, Testing, and Evaluation" <doi:10.1101/2021.07.21.453083>.

Assessment of the distributions of baseline continuous and categorical variables in randomised trials. This method is based on the Carlisle-Stouffer method with Monte Carlo simulations. It calculates p-values for each trial baseline variable, as well as combined p-values for each trial - these p-values measure how compatible are distributions of trials baseline variables with random sampling. This package also allows for graphically plotting the cumulative frequencies of computed p-values. Please note that code was partly adapted from Carlisle JB, Loadsman JA. (2017) <doi:10.1111/anae.13650>.

The most important function of the R package is the genetic effects analysis of small RNA in hybrid plants via two methods, and at the same time, it provides various forms of graph related to data characteristics and expression analysis. In terms of two classification methods, one is the calculation of the additive (a) and dominant (d), the other is the evaluation of expression level dominance by comparing the total expression of the small RNA in progeny with the expression level in the parent species.

This package provides a dynamic programming solution to segmentation based on maximization of arbitrary similarity measures within segments. The general idea, theory and this implementation are described in Machne, Murray & Stadler (2017) <doi:10.1038/s41598-017-12401-8>. In addition to the core algorithm, the package provides time-series processing and clustering functions as described in the publication. These are generally applicable where a `k-means` clustering yields meaningful results, and have been specifically developed for clustering of the Discrete Fourier Transform of periodic gene expression data (`circadian or `yeast metabolic oscillations'). This clustering approach is outlined in the supplemental material of Machne & Murray (2012) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0037906>), and here is used as a basis of segment similarity measures. Notably, the time-series processing and clustering functions can also be used as stand-alone tools, independent of segmentation, e.g., for transcriptome data already mapped to genes.
