Simulation methods to study the effect of management policies on efforts to restore populations back to their original genetic composition. Allows for single-scenario simulation and for optimization of specific chosen scenarios. Further information can be found in Hernandez, Janzen and Lavretsky (2023) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13892>.

It leverages the network-like architecture of scientific models together with software quality metrics to identify chains of function calls that are more prone to generating and propagating errors. It operates on tbl_graph objects representing call dependencies between functions (callers and callees) and computes risk scores for individual functions and for paths (sequences of function calls) based on cyclomatic complexity, in-degree and betweenness centrality. The package supports variance-based uncertainty and sensitivity analyses after Puy et al. (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i05> to assess how risk scores change under alternative risk definitions.

Takes one or more fitted Cox proportional hazards models and writes a shiny application to a directory specified by the user. The shiny application displays predicted survival curves based on user input, and contains none of the original data used to create the Cox model or models. The goal is towards visualization and presentation of predicted survival curves.

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>.

Standardized accuracy (staccuracy) is a framework for expressing accuracy scores such that 50% represents a reference level of performance and 100% is a perfect prediction. The staccuracy package provides tools for creating staccuracy functions as well as some recommended staccuracy measures. It also provides functions for some classic performance metrics such as mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC), as well as their winsorized versions when applicable.

An introduction to a couple of novel predictive variable selection methods for generalised boosted regression modeling (gbm). They are based on various variable influence methods (i.e., relative variable influence (RVI) and knowledge informed RVI (i.e., KIRVI, and KIRVI2)) that adopted similar ideas as AVI, KIAVI and KIAVI2 in the steprf package, and also based on predictive accuracy in stepwise algorithms. For details of the variable selection methods, please see: Li, J., Siwabessy, J., Huang, Z. and Nichol, S. (2019) <doi:10.3390/geosciences9040180>. Li, J., Alvarez, B., Siwabessy, J., Tran, M., Huang, Z., Przeslawski, R., Radke, L., Howard, F., Nichol, S. (2017). <DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.27686.22085>.

Fits a structural equation multidimensional scaling (SEMDS) model for asymmetric and three-way input dissimilarities. It assumes that the dissimilarities are measured with errors. The latent dissimilarities are estimated as factor scores within an SEM framework while the objects are represented in a low-dimensional space as in MDS.

This package provides a Shiny app allowing to compare and merge two files, with syntax highlighting for several coding languages.

In various domains, many datasets exhibit both high variable dependency and group structures, which necessitates their simultaneous estimation. This package provides functions for two subgroup identification methods based on penalized functions, both of which utilize factor model structures to adapt to data with cross-sectional dependency. The first method is the Subgroup Identification with Latent Factor Structure Method (SILFSM) we proposed. By employing Center-Augmented Regularization and factor structures, the SILFSM effectively eliminates data dependencies while identifying subgroups within datasets. For this model, we offer optimization functions based on two different methods: Coordinate Descent and our newly developed Difference of Convex-Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (DC-ADMM) algorithms; the latter can be applied to cases where the distance function in Center-Augmented Regularization takes L1 and L2 forms. The other method is the Factor-Adjusted Pairwise Fusion Penalty (FA-PFP) model, which incorporates factor augmentation into the Pairwise Fusion Penalty (PFP) developed by Ma, S. and Huang, J. (2017) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1148039>. Additionally, we provide a function for the Standard CAR (S-CAR) method, which does not consider the dependency and is for comparative analysis with other approaches. Furthermore, functions based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) of the SILFSM and the FA-PFP method are also included in SILFS for selecting tuning parameters. For more details of Subgroup Identification with Latent Factor Structure Method, please refer to He et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2407.00882>.

The Subsemble algorithm is a general subset ensemble prediction method, which can be used for small, moderate, or large datasets. Subsemble partitions the full dataset into subsets of observations, fits a specified underlying algorithm on each subset, and uses a unique form of k-fold cross-validation to output a prediction function that combines the subset-specific fits. An oracle result provides a theoretical performance guarantee for Subsemble. The paper, "Subsemble: An ensemble method for combining subset-specific algorithm fits" is authored by Stephanie Sapp, Mark J. van der Laan & John Canny (2014) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2013.864263>.

Imbalanced training datasets impede many popular classifiers. To balance training data, a combination of oversampling minority classes and undersampling majority classes is useful. This package implements the SCUT (SMOTE and Cluster-based Undersampling Technique) algorithm as described in Agrawal et. al. (2015) <doi:10.5220/0005595502260234>. Their paper uses model-based clustering and synthetic oversampling to balance multiclass training datasets, although other resampling methods are provided in this package.

This package provides tools for making, retrieving, displaying and solving sudoku games. This package is an alternative to the earlier sudoku-solver package, sudoku'. The present package uses a slightly different algorithm, has a simpler coding and presents a few more sugar tools, such as plot and print methods. Solved sudoku games are of some interest in Experimental Design as examples of Latin Square designs with additional balance constraints.

Using the adjustment method from Benjamini & Hochberg (1995) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02031.x>, this package determines which variables are significant under repeated testing with a given dataframe of p values and an user defined "q" threshold. It then returns the original dataframe along with a significance column where an asterisk denotes a significant p value after FDR calculation, and NA denotes all other p values. This package uses the Benjamini & Hochberg method specifically as described in Lee, S., & Lee, D. K. (2018) <doi:10.4097/kja.d.18.00242>.
