Produce small area population estimates by fitting census data to survey data.

Use stem analysis data to reconstructing tree growth and carbon accumulation. Users can independently or in combination perform a number of standard tasks for any tree species. (i) Age class determination. (ii) The cumulative growth, mean annual increment, and current annual increment of diameter at breast height (DBH) with bark, tree height, and stem volume with bark are estimated. (iii) Tree biomass and carbon storage estimation from volume and allometric models are calculated. (iv) Height-diameter relationship is fitted with nonlinear models, if diameter at breast height (DBH) or tree height are available, which can be used to retrieve tree height and diameter at breast height (DBH). <https://github.com/forestscientist/StemAnalysis>.

The stochastic (also called on-line) version of the Self-Organising Map (SOM) algorithm is provided. Different versions of the algorithm are implemented, for numeric and relational data and for contingency tables as described, respectively, in Kohonen (2001) <isbn:3-540-67921-9>, Olteanu & Villa-Vialaneix (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2013.11.047> and Cottrell et al (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.neunet.2004.07.010>. The package also contains many plotting features (to help the user interpret the results), can handle (and impute) missing values and is delivered with a graphical user interface based on shiny'.

This package provides a coalescent simulator that allows the rapid simulation of biological sequences under neutral models of evolution, see Staab et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu861>. Different to other coalescent based simulations, it has an optional approximation parameter that allows for high accuracy while maintaining a linear run time cost for long sequences. It is optimized for simulating massive data sets as produced by Next- Generation Sequencing technologies for up to several thousand sequences.

It helps in determination of sample size for estimating population mean or proportion under simple random sampling with or without replacement and stratified random sampling without replacement. When prior information on the population coefficient of variation (CV) is unavailable, then a preliminary sample is drawn to estimate the CV which is used to compute the final sample size. If the final size exceeds the preliminary sample size, then additional units are drawn; otherwise, the preliminary sample size is considered as final sample size. For stratified random sampling without replacement design, it also calculates the sample size in each stratum under different allocation methods for estimation of population mean and proportion based upon the availability of prior information on sizes of the strata, standard deviations of the strata and costs of drawing a sampling unit in the strata.For details on sampling methodology, see, Cochran (1977) "Sampling Techniques" <https://archive.org/details/samplingtechniqu0000coch_t4x6>.

The StockDistFit package provides functions for fitting probability distributions to stock price data. The package uses maximum likelihood estimation to find the best-fitting distribution for a given stock. It also offers a function to fit several distributions to one or more assets and compare the distribution with the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and then pick the best distribution. References are as follows: Siew et al. (2008) <https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jappstat/37/1/37_1_1/_pdf/-char/ja> and Benth et al.

Is designed to interactively and reproducibly visualize and filter SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) datasets. This R-based implementation of SNP and genotype filters facilitates an interactive and iterative SNP filtering pipeline, which can be documented reproducibly via rmarkdown'. SNPfiltR contains functions for visualizing various quality and missing data metrics for a SNP dataset, and then filtering the dataset based on user specified cutoffs. All functions take vcfR objects as input, which can easily be generated by reading standard vcf (variant call format) files into R using the R package vcfR authored by Knaus and Grünwald (2017) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.12549>. Each SNPfiltR function can return a newly filtered vcfR object, which can then be written to a local directory in standard vcf format using the vcfR package, for downstream population genetic and phylogenetic analyses.

Estimate networks and causal relationships in complex systems through Structural Equation Modeling. This package also includes functions for importing, weight, manipulate, and fit biological network models within the Structural Equation Modeling framework as outlined in the Supplementary Material of Grassi M, Palluzzi F, Tarantino B (2022) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btac567>.

This package provides functions for fitting discrete distribution models to count data. Included are the Poisson, the negative binomial, the Poisson-inverse gaussian and, most importantly, a new implementation of the Poisson-beta distribution (density, distribution and quantile functions, and random number generator) together with a needed new implementation of Kummer's function (also: confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind). Three different implementations of the Gillespie algorithm allow data simulation based on the basic, switching or bursting mRNA generating processes. Moreover, likelihood functions for four variants of each of the three aforementioned distributions are also available. The variants include one population and two population mixtures, both with and without zero-inflation. The package depends on the MPFR libraries (<https://www.mpfr.org/>) which need to be installed separately (see description at <https://github.com/fuchslab/scModels>). This package is supplement to the paper "A mechanistic model for the negative binomial distribution of single-cell mRNA counts" by Lisa Amrhein, Kumar Harsha and Christiane Fuchs (2019) <doi:10.1101/657619> available on bioRxiv.

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>.

The package performs a sensitivity analysis in an observational study using an M-statistic, for instance, the mean. The main function in the package is senmv(), but amplify() and truncatedP() are also useful. The method is developed in Rosenbaum Biometrics, 2007, 63, 456-464, <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2006.00717.x>.

Calculates a Satorra-Bentler scaled chi-squared difference test between nested models that were estimated using maximum likelihood (ML) with robust standard errors, which cannot be calculated the traditional way. For details see Satorra & Bentler (2001) <doi:10.1007/bf02296192> and Satorra & Bentler (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11336-009-9135-y>. This package may be particularly helpful when used in conjunction with Mplus software, specifically when implementing the complex survey option. In such cases, the model estimator in Mplus defaults to ML with robust standard errors.

This package implements Surprisal analysis for gene expression data such as RNA-seq or microarray experiments. Surprisal analysis is an information-theoretic method that decomposes gene expression data into a baseline state and constraint-associated deviations, capturing coordinated gene expression patterns under different biological conditions.

Reveals how data quality silently degrades during geographic transformations while variable labels remain unchanged. Demonstrates that transformation error is agnostic to both the variable (population, income, etc.) and the tool ('R', Python', etc.). Provides a reproducible audit framework for quantifying the shift from observed to imputed data at each transformation hop.

Convert a time series of observations to a time series of standardised indices that can be used to monitor variables on a common and probabilistically interpretable scale. The indices can be aggregated and rescaled to different time scales, visualised using plot capabilities, and calculated using a range of distributions. This includes flexible non-parametric and non-stationary methods.

This package provides a critical first step in systematic literature reviews and mining of academic texts is to identify relevant texts from a range of sources, particularly databases such as Web of Science or Scopus'. These databases often export in different formats or with different metadata tags. synthesisr expands on the tools outlined by Westgate (2019) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1374> to import bibliographic data from a range of formats (such as bibtex', ris', or ciw') in a standard way, and allows merging and deduplication of the resulting dataset.

Complex machine learning models are often hard to interpret. However, in many situations it is crucial to understand and explain why a model made a specific prediction. Shapley values is the only method for such prediction explanation framework with a solid theoretical foundation. Previously known methods for estimating the Shapley values do, however, assume feature independence. This package implements methods which accounts for any feature dependence, and thereby produces more accurate estimates of the true Shapley values. An accompanying Python wrapper ('shaprpy') is available through PyPI.

Sample size requirements calculation using three different Bayesian criteria in the context of designing an experiment to estimate the difference between two binomial proportions. Functions for calculation of required sample sizes for the Average Length Criterion, the Average Coverage Criterion and the Worst Outcome Criterion in the context of binomial observations are provided. In all cases, estimation of the difference between two binomial proportions is considered. Functions for both the fully Bayesian and the mixed Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided. For reference see Joseph L., du Berger R. and Bélisle P. (1997) <doi:10.1002/(sici)1097-0258(19970415)16:7%3C769::aid-sim495%3E3.0.co;2-v>.

We propose a procedure for sample size calculation while controlling false discovery rate for RNA-seq experimental design. Our procedure depends on the Voom method proposed for RNA-seq data analysis by Law et al. (2014) <DOI:10.1186/gb-2014-15-2-r29> and the sample size calculation method proposed for microarray experiments by Liu and Hwang (2007) <DOI:10.1093/bioinformatics/btl664>. We develop a set of functions that calculates appropriate sample sizes for two-sample t-test for RNA-seq experiments with fixed or varied set of parameters. The outputs also contain a plot of power versus sample size, a table of power at different sample sizes, and a table of critical test values at different sample sizes. To install this package, please use source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R"); biocLite("ssizeRNA")'. For R version 3.5 or greater, please use if(!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))install.packages("BiocManager"); BiocManager::install("ssizeRNA")'.

The heterogeneity of spatial data presenting a finite number of categories can be measured via computation of spatial entropy. Functions are available for the computation of the main entropy and spatial entropy measures in the literature. They include the traditional version of Shannon's entropy (Shannon, 1948 <doi:10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb01338.x>), Batty's spatial entropy (Batty, 1974 <doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1974.tb01014.x>), O'Neill's entropy (O'Neill et al., 1998 <doi:10.1007/BF00162741>), Li and Reynolds contagion index (Li and Reynolds, 1993 <doi:10.1007/BF00125347>), Karlstrom and Ceccato's entropy (Karlstrom and Ceccato, 2002 <https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-61351>), Leibovici's entropy (Leibovici, 2009 <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-03832-7_24>), Parresol and Edwards entropy (Parresol and Edwards, 2014 <doi:10.3390/e16041842>) and Altieri's entropy (Altieri et al., 2018, <doi:10.1007/s10651-017-0383-1>). Full references for all measures can be found under the topic SpatEntropy'. The package is able to work with lattice and point data.
