This comprehensive toolkit for skewed regression is designated as "SLIC" (The LIC for Distributed Skewed Regression Analysis). It is predicated on the assumption that the error term follows a skewed distribution, such as the Skew-Normal, Skew-t, or Skew-Laplace. The methodology and theoretical foundation of the package are described in Guo G.(2020) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2022.2053949>.

Exporting shiny applications with shinylive allows you to run them entirely in a web browser, without the need for a separate R server. The traditional way of deploying shiny applications involves in a separate server and client: the server runs R and shiny', and clients connect via the web browser. When an application is deployed with shinylive', R and shiny run in the web browser (via webR'): the browser is effectively both the client and server for the application. This allows for your shiny application exported by shinylive to be hosted by a static web server.

Given independent and identically distributed observations X(1), ..., X(n) from a Generalized Pareto distribution with shape parameter gamma in [-1,0], offers several estimates to compute estimates of gamma. The estimates are based on the principle of replacing the order statistics by quantiles of a distribution function based on a log--concave density function. This procedure is justified by the fact that the GPD density is log--concave for gamma in [-1,0].

Simulates regression models, including both simple regression and generalized linear mixed models with up to three level of nesting. Power simulations that are flexible allowing the specification of missing data, unbalanced designs, and different random error distributions are built into the package.

Characterize daily stream discharge and water quality data and subsample water quality data. Provide dates, discharge, and water quality measurements and streamsampler can find gaps, get summary statistics, and subsample according to common stream sampling protocols. Stream sampling protocols are described in Lee et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2016.08.059> and Lee et al. (2019) <doi:10.3133/sir20195084>.

Simulate survival times from standard parametric survival distributions (exponential, Weibull, Gompertz), 2-component mixture distributions, or a user-defined hazard, log hazard, cumulative hazard, or log cumulative hazard function. Baseline covariates can be included under a proportional hazards assumption. Time dependent effects (i.e. non-proportional hazards) can be included by interacting covariates with linear time or a user-defined function of time. Clustered event times are also accommodated. The 2-component mixture distributions can allow for a variety of flexible baseline hazard functions reflecting those seen in practice. If the user wishes to provide a user-defined hazard or log hazard function then this is possible, and the resulting cumulative hazard function does not need to have a closed-form solution. For details see the supporting paper <doi:10.18637/jss.v097.i03>. Note that this package is modelled on the survsim package available in the Stata software (see Crowther and Lambert (2012) <https://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=st0275> or Crowther and Lambert (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.5823>).

In ecology, spatial data is often represented using polygons. These polygons can represent a variety of spatial entities, such as ecological patches, animal home ranges, or gaps in the forest canopy. Researchers often need to determine if two spatial processes, represented by these polygons, are independent of each other. For instance, they might want to test if the home range of a particular animal species is influenced by the presence of a certain type of vegetation. To address this, Godoy et al. (2022) (<doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2022.100695>) developed conditional Monte Carlo tests. These tests are designed to assess spatial independence while taking into account the shape and size of the polygons.

This package creates SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) and A-bomb data binaries from ASCII sources and provides tools for estimating SEER second cancer risks. Methods are described in <doi:10.1038/leu.2015.258>.

We provide a suite of tools for estimating the sample complexity of a chosen model through theoretical bounds and simulation. The package incorporates methods for estimating the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension (VCD) of a chosen algorithm, which can be used to estimate its sample complexity. Alternatively, we provide simulation methods to estimate sample complexity directly. For more details, see Carter, P & Choi, D (2024). "Learning from Noise: Applying Sample Complexity for Political Science Research" <doi:10.31219/osf.io/evrcj>.

Collection of functions to connect the structure of the data with the information on the samples. Three types of associations are covered: 1. linear model of principal components. 2. hierarchical clustering analysis. 3. distribution of features-sample annotation associations. Additionally, the inter-relation between sample annotations can be analyzed. Simple methods are provided for the correction of batch effects and removal of principal components.

This package implements methods for obtaining kernel density estimates subject to a variety of shape constraints (unimodality, bimodality, symmetry, tail monotonicity, bounds, and constraints on the number of inflection points). Enforcing constraints can eliminate unwanted waves or kinks in the estimate, which improves its subjective appearance and can also improve statistical performance. The main function scdensity() is very similar to the density() function in stats', allowing shape-restricted estimates to be obtained with little effort. The methods implemented in this package are described in Wolters and Braun (2017) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2017.1288247>, Wolters (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v047.i06>, and Hall and Huang (2002) <https://www3.stat.sinica.edu.tw/statistica/j12n4/j12n41/j12n41.htm>.

Optimal hard thresholding of singular values. The procedure adaptively estimates the best singular value threshold under unknown noise characteristics. The threshold chosen by ScreeNOT is optimal (asymptotically, in the sense of minimum Frobenius error) under the the so-called "Spiked model" of a low-rank matrix observed in additive noise. In contrast to previous works, the noise is not assumed to be i.i.d. or white; it can have an essentially arbitrary and unknown correlation structure, across either rows, columns or both. ScreeNOT is proposed to practitioners as a mathematically solid alternative to Cattell's ever-popular but vague Scree Plot heuristic from 1966. If you use this package, please cite our paper: David L. Donoho, Matan Gavish and Elad Romanov (2023). "ScreeNOT: Exact MSE-optimal singular value thresholding in correlated noise."

This is a compendium of C++ routines useful for Bayesian statistics. We steal other people's C++ code, repurpose it, and export it so developers of R packages can use it in their C++ code. We actually don't steal anything, or claim that Thomas Bayes did, but copy code that is compatible with our GPL 3 licence, fully acknowledging the authorship of the original code.

The package is used for calibrating the design parameters for single-to-double arm transition design proposed by Shi and Yin (2017). The calibration is performed via numerical enumeration to find the optimal design that satisfies the constraints on the type I and II error rates.

This package provides a shiny application estimating the operating characteristics of the Student's t-test by Student (1908) <doi:10.1093/biomet/6.1.1>, Welch's t-test by Welch (1947) <doi:10.1093/biomet/34.1-2.28>, and Wilcoxon test by Wilcoxon (1945) <doi:10.2307/3001968> in one-sample or two-sample cases, in settings defined by the user (conditional distribution, sample size per group, location parameter per group, nuisance parameter per group), using Monte Carlo simulations Malvin H. Kalos, Paula A. Whitlock (2008) <doi:10.1002/9783527626212>.

This package provides a pilot matching design to automatically stratify and match large datasets. The manual_stratify() function allows users to manually stratify a dataset based on categorical variables of interest, while the auto_stratify() function does automatically by allocating a held-aside (pilot) data set, fitting a prognostic score (see Hansen (2008) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asn004>) on the pilot set, and stratifying the data set based on prognostic score quantiles. The strata_match() function then does optimal matching of the data set in parallel within strata.

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>.

This package provides functions that compute the spatial covariance matrix for the matern and power classes of spatial models, for data that arise on rectangular units. This code can also be used for the change of support problem and for spatial data that arise on irregularly shaped regions like counties or zipcodes by laying a fine grid of rectangles and aggregating the integrals in a form of Riemann integration.
