This package provides a novel spatial topic model to integrate both cell type and spatial information to identify the complex spatial tissue architecture on multiplexed tissue images without human intervention. The Package implements a collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm for inference. SpaTopic is scalable to large-scale image datasets without extracting neighborhood information for every single cell. For more details on the methodology, see <https://xiyupeng.github.io/SpaTopic/>.

This package provides functions for coarse-to-fine spatial modeling (CFSM), enabling fast spatial prediction, regression, and uncertainty quantification. For further details, see Murakami et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.00968>.

This package implements spatial error estimation and permutation-based variable importance measures for predictive models using spatial cross-validation and spatial block bootstrap.

SEM Trees and SEM Forests -- an extension of model-based decision trees and forests to Structural Equation Models (SEM). SEM trees hierarchically split empirical data into homogeneous groups each sharing similar data patterns with respect to a SEM by recursively selecting optimal predictors of these differences. SEM forests are an extension of SEM trees. They are ensembles of SEM trees each built on a random sample of the original data. By aggregating over a forest, we obtain measures of variable importance that are more robust than measures from single trees. A description of the method was published by Brandmaier, von Oertzen, McArdle, & Lindenberger (2013) <doi:10.1037/a0030001> and Arnold, Voelkle, & Brandmaier (2020) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.564403>.

Multi-generational pedigree inference from incomplete data on hundreds of SNPs, including parentage assignment and sibship clustering. See Huisman (2017) (<DOI:10.1111/1755-0998.12665>) for more information.

Obtaining accurate and stable estimates of regression coefficients can be challenging when the suggested statistical model has issues related to multicollinearity, convergence, or overfitting. One solution is to use principal component analysis (PCA) results in the regression, as discussed in Chan and Park (2005) <doi:10.1080/01446190500039812>. The swaprinc() package streamlines comparisons between a raw regression model with the full set of raw independent variables and a principal component regression model where principal components are estimated on a subset of the independent variables, then swapped into the regression model in place of those variables. The swaprinc() function compares one raw regression model to one principal component regression model, while the compswap() function compares one raw regression model to many principal component regression models. Package functions include parameters to center, scale, and undo centering and scaling, as described by Harvey and Hansen (2022) <https://cran.r-project.org/package=LearnPCA/vignettes/Vig_03_Step_By_Step_PCA.pdf>. Additionally, the package supports using Gifi methods to extract principal components from categorical variables, as outlined by Rossiter (2021) <https://www.css.cornell.edu/faculty/dgr2/_static/files/R_html/NonlinearPCA.html#2_Package>.

Combining Predictive Analytics and Experimental Design to Optimize Results. To be utilized to select a test data calibrated training population in high dimensional prediction problems and assumes that the explanatory variables are observed for all of the individuals. Once a "good" training set is identified, the response variable can be obtained only for this set to build a model for predicting the response in the test set. The algorithms in the package can be tweaked to solve some other subset selection problems.

Preview spatial data as leaflet maps with minimal effort. smartmap is optimized for interactive use and distinguishes itself from similar packages because it does not need real spatial ('sp or sf') objects an input; instead, it tries to automatically coerce everything that looks like spatial data to sf objects or leaflet maps. It - for example - supports direct mapping of: a vector containing a single coordinate pair, a two column matrix, a data.frame with longitude and latitude columns, or the path or URL to a (possibly compressed) shapefile'.

This package provides estimations of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) based on the two-stages mixed-subjects ROC curve estimator (Diaz-Coto et al. (2020) <doi:10.1515/ijb-2019-0097> and Diaz-Coto et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/00949655.2020.1736071>).

An input controller for R Shiny: a matrix with radio buttons, where only one option per row can be selected.

Efficient framework to estimate high-dimensional generalized matrix factorization models using penalized maximum likelihood under a dispersion exponential family specification. Either deterministic and stochastic methods are implemented for the numerical maximization. In particular, the package implements the stochastic gradient descent algorithm with a block-wise mini-batch strategy to speed up the computations and an efficient adaptive learning rate schedule to stabilize the convergence. All the theoretical details can be found in Castiglione et al. (2024, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2412.20509>). Other methods considered for the optimization are the alternated iterative re-weighted least squares and the quasi-Newton method with diagonal approximation of the Fisher information matrix discussed in Kidzinski et al. (2022, <http://jmlr.org/papers/v23/20-1104.html>).

Creation of an individual claims simulator which generates various features of non-life insurance claims. An initial set of test parameters, designed to mirror the experience of an Auto Liability portfolio, were set up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of individual claims (see vignette). The simulated data set then allows practitioners to back-test the validity of various reserving models and to prove and/or disprove certain actuarial assumptions made in claims modelling. The distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can be easily modified by users to match their experiences.

Sequences sampled at different time points can be used to infer molecular phylogenies on natural time scales, but if the sequences records inaccurate sampling times, that are not the actual sampling times, then it will affect the molecular phylogenetic analysis. This shiny application helps exploring temporal characteristics of the evolutionary trees through linear regression analysis and with the ability to identify and remove incorrect labels. The method was extended to support exploring other phylogenetic signals under strict and relaxed models.

Includes an interactive application designed to support educators in wide-ranging disciplines, with a particular focus on those teaching introductory statistical methods (descriptive and/or inferential) for data analysis. Users are able to randomly generate data, make new versions of existing data through common adjustments (e.g., add random normal noise and perform transformations), and check the suitability of the resulting data for statistical analyses.

Enhance the bookmarkable state feature of shiny with additional customization such as storage location and storage repositories leveraging the pins package.

Allows to connect selectizeInputs widgets as filters to a reactable table. As known from spreadsheet applications, column filters are interdependent, so each filter only shows the values that are really available at the moment based on the current selection in other filters. Filter values currently not available (and also those being available) can be shown via popovers or tooltips.

An implementation of the selectboost algorithm (Bertrand et al. 2020, Bioinformatics', <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa855>), which is a general algorithm that improves the precision of any existing variable selection method. This algorithm is based on highly intensive simulations and takes into account the correlation structure of the data. It can either produce a confidence index for variable selection or it can be used in an experimental design planning perspective.

Adds Progressive Web App support for Shiny apps, including desktop and mobile installations.

Data practitioners regularly use the R and Python programming languages to prepare data for analyses. Thus, they encode important data preprocessing decisions in R and Python code. The smallsets package subsequently decodes these decisions into a Smallset Timeline, a static, compact visualisation of data preprocessing decisions (Lucchesi et al. (2022) <doi:10.1145/3531146.3533175>). The visualisation consists of small data snapshots of different preprocessing steps. The smallsets package builds this visualisation from a user's dataset and preprocessing code located in an R', R Markdown', Python', or Jupyter Notebook file. Users simply add structured comments with snapshot instructions to the preprocessing code. One optional feature in smallsets requires installation of the Gurobi optimisation software and gurobi R package, available from <https://www.gurobi.com>. More information regarding the optional feature and gurobi installation can be found in the smallsets vignette.
