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>.

Generates region-specific Suess and Laws corrections for stable carbon isotope data from marine organisms collected between 1850 and 2023. Version 0.1.6 of SuessR contains four built-in regions: the Bering Sea ('Bering Sea'), the Aleutian archipelago ('Aleutian Islands'), the Gulf of Alaska ('Gulf of Alaska'), and the subpolar North Atlantic ('Subpolar North Atlantic'). Users can supply their own environmental data for regions currently not built into the package to generate corrections for those regions.

Methodology for supervised grouping aka "clustering" of potentially many predictor variables, such as genes etc, implementing algorithms PELORA and WILMA'.

Fits Bayesian hierarchical piecewise regression models with multiple logistic-smoothed change-points. Non-linear parameters (change-point locations and transition sharpness) and linear parameters can each be conditioned on covariates and factors via flexible design matrices. A random-intercept structure is supported for any parameter. Spike-and-slab regularization is supported for selecting the number of breakpoints. Posterior inference uses a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler implemented in Rust for speed. Methods are based on the smooth transition piecewise regression model of Bacon and Watts (1971) <doi:10.2307/2334389> and variable selection spike-and-slab priors of Kuo and Mallick (1998) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/25053023>.

This package provides a simple package facilitating ML based analysis for physics education research (PER) purposes. The implemented machine learning technique is random forest optimized by item response theory (IRT) for feature selection and genetic algorithm (GA) for hyperparameter tuning. The data analyzed here has been made available in the CRAN repository through the spheredata package. The SPHERE stands for Students Performance in Physics Education Research (PER). The students are the eleventh graders learning physics at the high school curriculum. We follow the stream of multidimensional students assessment as probed by some research based assessments in PER. The goal is to predict the students performance at the end of the learning process. Three learning domains are measured including conceptual understanding, scientific ability, and scientific attitude. Furthermore, demographic backgrounds and potential variables predicting students performance on physics are also demonstrated.

"The Soil Texture Wizard" is a set of R functions designed to produce texture triangles (also called texture plots, texture diagrams, texture ternary plots), classify and transform soil textures data. These functions virtually allows to plot any soil texture triangle (classification) into any triangle geometry (isosceles, right-angled triangles, etc.). This set of function is expected to be useful to people using soil textures data from different soil texture classification or different particle size systems. Many (> 15) texture triangles from all around the world are predefined in the package. A simple text based graphical user interface is provided: soiltexture_gui().

Queries maintained system requirement sources, reports missing system packages, and generates installation commands, Dockerfile snippets, GitHub Actions steps, administrator request templates, and diagnostic reports from failed installation logs.

The SALSO algorithm is an efficient randomized greedy search method to find a point estimate for a random partition based on a loss function and posterior Monte Carlo samples. The algorithm is implemented for many loss functions, including the Binder loss and a generalization of the variation of information loss, both of which allow for unequal weights on the two types of clustering mistakes. Efficient implementations are also provided for Monte Carlo estimation of the posterior expected loss of a given clustering estimate. See Dahl, Johnson, Müller (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2069779>.

Estimate average treatment effects (ATEs) in stratified randomized experiments. `sreg` supports a wide range of stratification designs, including matched pairs, n-tuple designs, and larger strata with many units â possibly of unequal size across strata. sreg is designed to accommodate scenarios with multiple treatments and cluster-level treatment assignments, and accommodates optimal linear covariate adjustment based on baseline observable characteristics. sreg computes estimators and standard errors based on Bugni, Canay, Shaikh (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1375934>; Bugni, Canay, Shaikh, Tabord-Meehan (2024+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2204.08356>; Jiang, Linton, Tang, Zhang (2023+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2201.13004>; Bai, Jiang, Romano, Shaikh, and Zhang (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2024.105740>; Bai (2022) <doi:10.1257/aer.20201856>; Bai, Romano, and Shaikh (2022) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1883437>; Liu (2024+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2301.09016>; and Cytrynbaum (2024) <doi:10.3982/QE2475>.

Model Selection Based on Combined Penalties. This package implements a stepwise forward variable selection algorithm based on a penalized likelihood criterion that combines the L0 with L2 or L1 norms.

This package provides methods for decomposing seasonal data: STR (a Seasonal-Trend time series decomposition procedure based on Regression) and Robust STR. In some ways, STR is similar to Ridge Regression and Robust STR can be related to LASSO. They allow for multiple seasonal components, multiple linear covariates with constant, flexible and seasonal influence. Seasonal patterns (for both seasonal components and seasonal covariates) can be fractional and flexible over time; moreover they can be either strictly periodic or have a more complex topology. The methods provide confidence intervals for the estimated components. The methods can also be used for forecasting.
