Researchers have been using simulated data from a multivariate linear model to compare and evaluate different methods, ideas and models. Additionally, teachers and educators have been using a simulation tool to demonstrate and teach various statistical and machine learning concepts. This package helps users to simulate linear model data with a wide range of properties by tuning few parameters such as relevant latent components. In addition, a shiny app as an RStudio gadget gives users a simple interface for using the simulation function. See more on: Sæbø, S., Almøy, T., Helland, I.S. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2015.05.012> and Rimal, R., Almøy, T., Sæbø, S. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2018.02.009>.

This package provides tools to convert from specific formats to more general forms of spatial data. Using tables to store the actual entities present in spatial data provides flexibility, and the functions here deliberately minimize the level of interpretation applied, leaving that for specific applications. Includes support for simple features, round-trip for Spatial classes and long-form tables, analogous to ggplot2::fortify'. There is also a more normal form representation that decomposes simple features and their kin to tables of objects, parts, and unique coordinates.

Simultaneously infers state-dependent diversification across two or more states of a single or multiple traits while accounting for the role of a possible concealed trait. See Herrera-Alsina et al. (2019) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syy057>.

This package provides Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) routine for the structural equation modelling described in Maity et. al. (2020) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa286>. This MCMC sampler is useful when one attempts to perform an integrative survival analysis for multiple platforms of the Omics data where the response is time to event and the predictors are different omics expressions for different platforms.

An updated and extended version of spm package, by introducing some further novel functions for modern statistical methods (i.e., generalised linear models, glmnet, generalised least squares), thin plate splines, support vector machine, kriging methods (i.e., simple kriging, universal kriging, block kriging, kriging with an external drift), and novel hybrid methods (228 hybrids plus numerous variants) of modern statistical methods or machine learning methods with mathematical and/or univariate geostatistical methods for spatial predictive modelling. For each method, two functions are provided, with one function for assessing the predictive errors and accuracy of the method based on cross-validation, and the other for generating spatial predictions. It also contains a couple of functions for data preparation and predictive accuracy assessment.

This package provides tools developed to facilitate the establishment of the rank and social hierarchy for gregarious animals by the Si method developed by Kondo & Hurnik (1990)<doi:10.1016/0168-1591(90)90125-W>. It is also possible to determine the number of agonistic interactions between two individuals, sociometric and dyadics matrix from dataset obtained through electronic bins. In addition, it is possible plotting the results using a bar plot, box plot, and sociogram.

Work with and download road traffic casualty data from Great Britain. Enables access to the UK's official road safety statistics, STATS19'. Enables users to specify a download directory for the data, which can be set permanently by adding `STATS19_DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY=/path/to/a/dir` to your `.Renviron` file, which can be opened with `usethis::edit_r_environ()`. The data is provided as a series of `.csv` files. This package downloads, reads-in and formats the data, making it suitable for analysis. See the stats19 vignette for details. Data available from 1979 to 2024. See the official data series at <https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/cb7ae6f0-4be6-4935-9277-47e5ce24a11f/road-accidents-safety-data>. The package is described in a paper in the Journal of Open Source Software (Lovelace et al. 2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01181>. See Gilardi et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12823>, Vidal-Tortosa et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jth.2021.101291>, Tait et al. (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.aap.2022.106895>, and León et al. (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v114.i09> for examples of how the data can be used for methodological and empirical research.

This package implements the generalized semi-supervised elastic-net. This method extends the supervised elastic-net problem, and thus it is a practical solution to the problem of feature selection in semi-supervised contexts. Its mathematical formulation is presented from a general perspective, covering a wide range of models. We focus on linear and logistic responses, but the implementation could be easily extended to other losses in generalized linear models. We develop a flexible and fast implementation, written in C++ using RcppArmadillo and integrated into R via Rcpp modules. See Culp, M. 2013 <doi:10.1080/10618600.2012.657139> for references on the Joint Trained Elastic-Net.

This package implements algorithms for terrestrial, mobile, and airborne lidar processing, tree detection, segmentation, and attribute estimation (Donager et al., 2021) <doi:10.3390/rs13122297>, and a hierarchical patch delineation algorithm PatchMorph (Girvetz & Greco, 2007) <doi:10.1007/s10980-007-9104-8>. Tree detection uses rasterized point cloud metrics (relative neighborhood density and verticality) combined with RANSAC cylinder fitting to locate tree boles and estimate diameter at breast height. Tree segmentation applies graph-theory approaches inspired by Tao et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2015.08.007> with cylinder fitting methods from de Conto et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.compag.2017.07.019>. PatchMorph delineates habitat patches across spatial scales using organism-specific thresholds. Built on lidR (Roussel et al., 2020) <doi:10.1016/j.rse.2020.112061>.

Customise Shiny disconnected screens as well as sanitize error messages to make them clearer and friendlier to the user.

Sometimes it is useful to serve up alternative shiny UIs depending on information passed in the request object, such as the value of a cookie or a query parameter. This packages facilitates such switches.

This package provides functions to compute split generalized linear models. The approach fits generalized linear models that split the covariates into groups. The optimal split of the variables into groups and the regularized estimation of the coefficients are performed by minimizing an objective function that encourages sparsity within each group and diversity among them. Example applications can be found in Christidis et al. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2102.08591>.

This package provides extensions for package sitree for allometric variables, growth, mortality, recruitment, management, tree removal and external modifiers functions.

The algorithm is built on the irwsva.build function of the sva package and proposes a revision on it that achieves an order of magnitude faster running time while trading no accuracy loss in return.

Single-index mixture cure models allow estimating the probability of cure and the latency depending on a vector (or functional) covariate, avoiding the curse of dimensionality. The vector of parameters that defines the model can be estimated by maximum likelihood. A nonparametric estimator for the conditional density of the susceptible population is provided.

Enforcement of field types in lists. A drop-in tool to allow for dynamic input data that might be questionably parsed or cast to be coerced into the specific desired format in a reasonably performant manner.

Simulate and plot general experimental crosses. The focus is on simulating genotypes with an aim towards flexibility rather than speed. Meiosis is simulated following the Stahl model, in which chiasma locations are the superposition of two processes: a proportion p coming from a process exhibiting no interference, and the remainder coming from a process following the chi-square model.
