Allows users to calculate pairwise Nei's Genetic Distances (Nei 1972), pairwise Fixation Indexes (Fst) (Weir & Cockerham 1984) and also Genomic Relationship matrixes following Yang et al. (2010) in mixed and single ploidy populations. Bootstrapping across loci is implemented during Fst calculation to generate confidence intervals and p-values around pairwise Fst values. StAMPP utilises SNP genotype data of any ploidy level (with the ability to handle missing data) and is coded to utilise multithreading where available to allow efficient analysis of large datasets. StAMPP is able to handle genotype data from genlight objects allowing integration with other packages such adegenet.

Thank you in advance.

This package provides elastic net penalized maximum likelihood estimator for structural equation models (SEM). The package implements `lasso` and `elastic net` (l1/l2) penalized SEM and estimates the model parameters with an efficient block coordinate ascent algorithm that maximizes the penalized likelihood of the SEM. Hyperparameters are inferred from cross-validation (CV). A Stability Selection (STS) function is also available to provide accurate causal effect selection. The software achieves high accuracy performance through a `Network Generative Pre-trained Transformer` (Network GPT) Framework with two steps: 1) pre-trains the model to generate a complete (fully connected) graph; and 2) uses the complete graph as the initial state to fit the `elastic net` penalized SEM.

This package provides a streamlined and user-friendly framework for simulating data in state space models, particularly when the number of subjects/units (n) exceeds one, a scenario commonly encountered in social and behavioral sciences. This package was designed to generate data for the simulations performed in Pesigan, Russell, and Chow (2025) <doi:10.1037/met0000779>.

Format a number (or a list of numbers) to a string (or a list of strings) with SI prefix. Use SI prefixes as constants like (4 * milli)^2.

Fit Cox non-proportional hazards models with time-varying coefficients. Both unpenalized procedures (Newton and proximal Newton) and penalized procedures (P-splines and smoothing splines) are included using B-spline basis functions for estimating time-varying coefficients. For penalized procedures, cross validations, mAIC, TIC or GIC are implemented to select tuning parameters. Utilities for carrying out post-estimation visualization, summarization, point-wise confidence interval and hypothesis testing are also provided. For more information, see Wu et al. (2022) <doi: 10.1007/s10985-021-09544-2> and Luo et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802231181471>.

This package provides several methods to integrate functions over the unit sphere and ball in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Routines for converting to/from multivariate polar/spherical coordinates are also provided.

The implementation of the algorithm for estimation of mutual information and channel capacity from experimental data by classification procedures (logistic regression). Technically, it allows to estimate information-theoretic measures between finite-state input and multivariate, continuous output. Method described in Jetka et al. (2019) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007132>.

This package implements a thresholded version of the Sliced Inverse Regression method (Li, K. C. (1991) <doi:10.2307/2290563>), which allows to do variable selection.

This package provides models to identify bimodally expressed genes from RNAseq data based on the Bimodality Index. SIBERG models the RNAseq data in the finite mixture modeling framework and incorporates mechanisms for dealing with RNAseq normalization. Three types of mixture models are implemented, namely, the mixture of log normal, negative binomial, or generalized Poisson distribution. See Tong et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts713>.

Shows the scatter plot along with the fitted regression lines. It depicts min, max, the three quartiles, mean, and sd for each variable. It also depicts sd-line, sd-box, r, r-square, prediction boundaries, and regression outliers.

Based on the compound Poisson risk process that is perturbed by a Brownian motion, saddlepoint approximations to some measures of risk are provided. Various approximation methods for the probability of ruin are also included. Furthermore, exact values of both the risk measures as well as the probability of ruin are available if the individual claims follow a hypo-exponential distribution (i. e., if it can be represented as a sum of independent exponentially distributed random variables with different rate parameters). For more details see Gatto and Baumgartner (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11009-012-9316-5>.

Corrects the spelling of a given word in English using a modification of Peter Norvig's spell correct algorithm (see <http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html>) which handles up to three edits. The algorithm tries to find the spelling with maximum probability of intended correction out of all possible candidate corrections from the original word.

Analyzing soil food webs or any food web measured at equilibrium. The package calculates carbon and nitrogen fluxes and stability properties using methods described by Hunt et al. (1987) <doi:10.1007/BF00260580>, de Ruiter et al. (1995) <doi:10.1126/science.269.5228.1257>, Holtkamp et al.

The package can also manipulate the structure of the food web as well as simulate food webs away from equilibrium and run decomposition experiments.

By adding dependencies to the "Suggests" field of a package's DESCRIPTION file, and then declaring that they are needed within any dependent functionality, it is often possible to significantly reduce the number of "hard" dependencies required by a package. This package provides a minimal way to declare when a suggested package is needed.

This package provides a collection of functions for symbolic computation using the caracas package for structural equation models and other statistical analyses. Among its features is the ability to calculate the model-implied covariance (and correlation) matrix and the sampling covariance matrix of variable functions using the delta method.

This package provides a small set of helper functions to convert sjPlot HTML-tables to R data.frame objects / knitr::kable-tables.

Computation of sparse eigenvectors of a matrix (aka sparse PCA) with running time 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than existing methods and better final performance in terms of recovery of sparsity pattern and estimation of numerical values. Can handle covariance matrices as well as data matrices with real or complex-valued entries. Different levels of sparsity can be specified for each individual ordered eigenvector and the method is robust in parameter selection. See vignette for a detailed documentation and comparison, with several illustrative examples. The package is based on the paper: K. Benidis, Y. Sun, P. Babu, and D. P. Palomar (2016). "Orthogonal Sparse PCA and Covariance Estimation via Procrustes Reformulation," IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing <doi:10.1109/TSP.2016.2605073>.

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>.
