Selection of spatially balanced samples. In particular, the implemented sampling designs allow to select probability samples well spread over the population of interest, in any dimension and using any distance function (e.g. Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance). For more details, Pantalone F, Benedetti R, and Piersimoni F (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.c02>, Benedetti R and Piersimoni F (2017) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201600194>, and Benedetti R and Piersimoni F (2017) <arXiv:1710.09116>. The implementation has been done in C++ through the use of Rcpp and RcppArmadillo'.

New tools for post-selection inference, for use with forward stepwise regression, least angle regression, the lasso, and the many means problem. The lasso function implements Gaussian, logistic and Cox survival models.

Analyse light spectra for visual and non-visual (often called melanopic) needs, wrapped up in a Shiny App. Spectran allows for the import of spectra in various CSV forms but also provides a wide range of example spectra and even the creation of own spectral power distributions. The goal of the app is to provide easy access and a visual overview of the spectral calculations underlying common parameters used in the field. It is thus ideal for educational purposes or the creation of presentation ready graphs in lighting research and application. Spectran uses equations and action spectra described in CIE S026 (2018) <doi:10.25039/S026.2018>, DIN/TS 5031-100 (2021) <doi:10.31030/3287213>, and ISO/CIE 23539 (2023) <doi:10.25039/IS0.CIE.23539.2023>.

Function library for processing collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, ungulate herds, baboon troops) collected from GPS trackers or computer vision tracking software.

Computation of second-generation p-values as described in Blume et al. (2018) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0188299> and Blume et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2018.1537893>. There are additional functions which provide power and type I error calculations, create graphs (particularly suited for large-scale inference usage), and a function to estimate false discovery rates based on second-generation p-value inference.

This package implements several functions that automates the cleaning and spell-checking of text data. Also converges, finalizes, removes plurals and continuous strings, and puts text data in binary format for semantic network analysis. Uses the SemNetDictionaries package to make the cleaning process more accurate, efficient, and reproducible.

This package provides a simulator for reticulate evolution under a birth-death-hybridization process. Here the birth-death process is extended to consider reticulate Evolution by allowing hybridization events to occur. The general purpose simulator allows the modeling of three different reticulate patterns: lineage generative hybridization, lineage neutral hybridization, and lineage degenerative hybridization. Users can also specify hybridization events to be dependent on a trait value or genetic distance. We also extend some phylogenetic tree utility and plotting functions for networks. We allow two different stopping conditions: simulated to a fixed time or number of taxa. When simulating to a fixed number of taxa, the user can simulate under the Generalized Sampling Approach that properly simulates phylogenies when assuming a uniform prior on the root age.

Extends the functionality of the package Synth as detailed in Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v042.i13>. Includes generating and plotting placebos, post/pre-MSPE (Mean Squared Prediction Error) significance tests and plots, and calculating average treatment effects for multiple treated units.

This package provides a web-based shiny interface for the StepReg package enables stepwise regression analysis across linear, generalized linear (including logistic, Poisson, Gamma, and negative binomial), and Cox models. It supports forward, backward, bidirectional, and best-subset selection under a range of criteria. The package also supports stepwise regression to multivariate settings, allowing multiple dependent variables to be modeled simultaneously. Users can explore and combine multiple selection strategies and criteria to optimize model selection. For enhanced robustness, the package offers optional randomized forward selection to reduce overfitting, and a data-splitting workflow for more reliable post-selection inference. Additional features include logging and visualization of the selection process, as well as the ability to export results in common formats.

This package implements a suite of sensitivity analysis tools that extends the traditional omitted variable bias framework and makes it easier to understand the impact of omitted variables in regression models, as discussed in Cinelli, C. and Hazlett, C. (2020), "Making Sense of Sensitivity: Extending Omitted Variable Bias." Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B (Statistical Methodology) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12348>.

This package provides a dynamic programming solution to segmentation based on maximization of arbitrary similarity measures within segments. The general idea, theory and this implementation are described in Machne, Murray & Stadler (2017) <doi:10.1038/s41598-017-12401-8>. In addition to the core algorithm, the package provides time-series processing and clustering functions as described in the publication. These are generally applicable where a `k-means` clustering yields meaningful results, and have been specifically developed for clustering of the Discrete Fourier Transform of periodic gene expression data (`circadian or `yeast metabolic oscillations'). This clustering approach is outlined in the supplemental material of Machne & Murray (2012) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0037906>), and here is used as a basis of segment similarity measures. Notably, the time-series processing and clustering functions can also be used as stand-alone tools, independent of segmentation, e.g., for transcriptome data already mapped to genes.

This package performs parametric and non-parametric estimation and simulation for multi-state discrete-time semi-Markov processes. For the parametric estimation, several discrete distributions are considered for the sojourn times: Uniform, Geometric, Poisson, Discrete Weibull and Negative Binomial. The non-parametric estimation concerns the sojourn time distributions, where no assumptions are done on the shape of distributions. Moreover, the estimation can be done on the basis of one or several sample paths, with or without censoring at the beginning or/and at the end of the sample paths. The implemented methods are described in Barbu, V.S., Limnios, N. (2008) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-73173-5>, Barbu, V.S., Limnios, N. (2008) <doi:10.1080/10485250701261913> and Trevezas, S., Limnios, N. (2011) <doi:10.1080/10485252.2011.555543>. Estimation and simulation of discrete-time k-th order Markov chains are also considered.

This package provides a classification framework to use expression patterns of pathways as features to identify similarity between biological samples. It provides a new measure for quantifying similarity between expression patterns of pathways.

This package provides statistical process control tools for stochastic textured surfaces. The current version supports the following tools: (1) generic modeling of stochastic textured surfaces. (2) local defect monitoring and diagnostics in stochastic textured surfaces, which was proposed by Bui and Apley (2018a) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2017.1302362>. (3) global change monitoring in the nature of stochastic textured surfaces, which was proposed by Bui and Apley (2018b) <doi:10.1080/00224065.2018.1507559>. (4) computation of dissimilarity matrix of stochastic textured surface images, which was proposed by Bui and Apley (2019b) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2019.01.019>.

This package performs repeated nested cross-validation for Cox Proportionate Hazards, Cox Lasso, Survival Random Forest, and their ensemble. Returns internally validated concordance index, time-dependent area under the curve, Brier score, calibration slope, and statistical testing of non-linear ensemble outperforming the baseline Cox model. In this, it helps researchers to quantify the gain of using a more complex survival model, or justify its redundancy. Equally, it shows the performance value of the non-linear and interaction terms, and may highlight the need of further feature transformation. Further details can be found in Shamsutdinova, Stamate, Roberts, & Stahl (2022) "Combining Cox Model and Tree-Based Algorithms to Boost Performance and Preserve Interpretability for Health Outcomes" <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-08337-2_15>, where the method is described as Ensemble 1.

This package provides a meta-package that aims to make R easier for everyone, especially programmers who have a background in SAS® software. This set of packages brings many useful concepts to R', including data libraries, data dictionaries, formats and format catalogs, a data step, and a traceable log. The system also includes a package that replicates several commonly-used SAS® procedures, like PROC FREQ', PROC MEANS', and PROC REG'.

Connecting to databases requires boilerplate code to specify connection parameters and to set up sessions properly with the DBMS. This package provides a simple tool to fill two purposes: abstracting connection details, including secret credentials, out of your source code and managing configuration for frequently-used database connections in a persistent and flexible way, while minimizing requirements on the runtime environment.

An efficient sensitivity analysis for stochastic models based on Monte Carlo samples. Provides weights on simulated scenarios from a stochastic model, such that stressed random variables fulfil given probabilistic constraints (e.g. specified values for risk measures), under the new scenario weights. Scenario weights are selected by constrained minimisation of the relative entropy to the baseline model. The SWIM package is based on Pesenti S.M., Millossovich P., Tsanakas A. (2019) "Reverse Sensitivity Testing: What does it take to break the model" <openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/18896/> and Pesenti S.M. (2021) "Reverse Sensitivity Analysis for Risk Modelling" <https://www.ssrn.com/abstract=3878879>.

This is an implementation of the algorithm described in Section 3 of Hosszejni and Frühwirth-Schnatter (2026) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2025.105536>. The algorithm is used to verify that the counting rule CR(r,1) holds for the sparsity pattern of the transpose of a factor loading matrix. As detailed in Section 2 of the same paper, if CR(r,1) holds, then the idiosyncratic variances are generically identified. If CR(r,1) does not hold, then we do not know whether the idiosyncratic variances are identified or not.

This package provides wrappers for common activity patterns in simmer trajectories.

Cleans and formats language transcripts guided by a series of transformation options (e.g., lemmatize words, omit stopwords, split strings across rows). SemanticDistance computes two distinct metrics of cosine semantic distance (experiential and embedding). These values reflect pairwise cosine distance between different elements or chunks of a language sample. SemanticDistance can process monologues (e.g., stories, ordered text), dialogues (e.g., conversation transcripts), word pairs arrayed in columns, and unordered word lists. Users specify options for how they wish to chunk distance calculations. These options include: rolling ngram-to-word distance (window of n-words to each new word), ngram-to-ngram distance (2-word chunk to the next 2-word chunk), pairwise distance between words arrayed in columns, matrix comparisons (i.e., all possible pairwise distances between words in an unordered list), turn-by-turn distance (talker to talker in a dialogue transcript). SemanticDistance includes visualization options for analyzing distances as time series data and simple semantic network dynamics (e.g., clustering, undirected graph network).

Sample size and effect size calculations for survival endpoints based on mixture survival-by-response model. The methods implemented can be found in Bofill, Shen & Gómez (2021) <arXiv:2008.12887>.
