Generate programmable surveys using markdown and R code chunks. Surveys are composed of two files: a survey.qmd Quarto file defining the survey content (pages, questions, etc), and an app.R file defining a shiny app with global settings (libraries, database configuration, etc.) and server configuration options (e.g., conditional skipping / display, etc.). Survey data collected from respondents is stored in a PostgreSQL database. Features include controls for conditional skip logic (skip to a page based on an answer to a question), conditional display logic (display a question based on an answer to a question), a customizable progress bar, and a wide variety of question types, including multiple choice (single choice and multiple choices), select, text, numeric, multiple choice buttons, text area, and dates. Because the surveys render into a shiny app, designers can also leverage the reactive capabilities of shiny to create dynamic and interactive surveys.

Mixed DNA profiles can be sampled according to models for probabilistic genotyping. Peak height variability is modelled using a log normal distribution or a gamma distribution. Sample contributors may be related according to a pedigree.

This package provides tools for power and sample size calculation as well as design diagnostics for longitudinal mixed model settings, with a focus on stepped wedge designs. All calculations are oracle estimates i.e. assume random effect variances to be known (or guessed) in advance. The method is introduced in Hussey and Hughes (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.cct.2006.05.007>, extensions are discussed in Li et al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220932962>.

This package contains methods for the simulation of positive tempered stable distributions and related subordinators. Including classical tempered stable, rapidly deceasing tempered stable, truncated stable, truncated tempered stable, generalized Dickman, truncated gamma, generalized gamma, and p-gamma. For details, see Dassios et al (2019) <doi:10.1017/jpr.2019.6>, Dassios et al (2020) <doi:10.1145/3368088>, Grabchak (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2020.109015>.

The function generates and plots random snowflakes. Each snowflake is defined by a given diameter, width of the crystal, color, and random seed. Snowflakes are plotted in such way that they always remain round, no matter what the aspect ratio of the plot is. Snowflakes can be created using transparent colors, which creates a more interesting, somewhat realistic, image. Images of the snowflakes can be separately saved as svg files and used in websites as static or animated images.

Simple implementation of Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 ('SemVer') on the vctrs package. This package provides a simple way to create, compare, and manipulate semantic versions in R. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to use.

Based on the compound Poisson risk process that is perturbed by a Brownian motion, saddlepoint approximations to some measures of risk are provided. Various approximation methods for the probability of ruin are also included. Furthermore, exact values of both the risk measures as well as the probability of ruin are available if the individual claims follow a hypo-exponential distribution (i. e., if it can be represented as a sum of independent exponentially distributed random variables with different rate parameters). For more details see Gatto and Baumgartner (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11009-012-9316-5>.

This package provides functionality to generate, (interactively) modify (by adding, removing and renaming nodes) and convert nested hierarchies between different formats. These tree like structures can be used to define for example complex hierarchical tables used for statistical disclosure control.

The user has the option to utilize the two-dimensional density estimation techniques called smoothed density published by Eilers and Goeman (2004) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btg454>, and pareto density which was evaluated for univariate data by Thrun, Gehlert and Ultsch, 2020 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0238835>. Moreover, it provides visualizations of the density estimation in the form of two-dimensional scatter plots in which the points are color-coded based on increasing density. Colors are defined by the one-dimensional clustering technique called 1D distribution cluster algorithm (DDCAL) published by Lux and Rinderle-Ma (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00357-022-09428-6>.

Converts the dates to different SAS date formats. In SAS dates are a special case of numeric values. Each day is assigned a specific numeric value, starting from January 1, 1960. This date is assigned the date value 0, and the next date has a date value of 1 and so on. The previous days to this date are represented by -1 , -2 and so on. With this approach, SAS can represent any date in the future or any date in the past. There are many date formats used in SAS to represent date-time. Here, we try to develop functions which will convert the date to different SAS date formats.

The developed function generates soil salinity indices using satellite data, utilizing multiple spectral bands such as Blue, Green, Red, Near-Infrared (NIR), and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR1, SWIR2). It computes 24 different salinity indices crucial for monitoring and analyzing salt-affected soils efficiently. For more details see, Rani, et al. (2022). <DOI: 10.1007/s12517-022-09682-3>. One of the key features of the developed function is its flexibility. Users can provide any combination of the required spectral bands, and the function will automatically calculate only the relevant indices based on the available data. This dynamic capability ensures that users can maximize the utility of their data without the need for all spectral bands, making the package versatile and user-friendly. Outputs are provided as GeoTIFF file format, facilitating easy integration with GIS workflows.

This package provides tools for sample survey planning, including sample size calculation, estimation of expected precision for the estimates of totals, and calculation of optimal sample size allocation.

An algorithm that trains a meta-learning procedure that combines screening and wrapper methods to find a set of extremely low-dimensional attribute combinations. This package works on top of the caret package and proceeds in a forward-step manner. More specifically, it builds and tests learners starting from very few attributes until it includes a maximal number of attributes by increasing the number of attributes at each step. Hence, for each fixed number of attributes, the algorithm tests various (randomly selected) learners and picks those with the best performance in terms of training error. Throughout, the algorithm uses the information coming from the best learners at the previous step to build and test learners in the following step. In the end, it outputs a set of strong low-dimensional learners.

This package provides functions for fitting multi-state semi-Markov models to longitudinal data.
