We present a rank-based Mercer kernel to compute a pair-wise similarity metric corresponding to informative representation of data. We tailor the development of a kernel to encode our prior knowledge about the data distribution over a probability space. The philosophical concept behind our construction is that objects whose feature values fall on the extreme of that featureâ s probability mass distribution are more similar to each other, than objects whose feature values lie closer to the mean. Semblance emphasizes features whose values lie far away from the mean of their probability distribution. The kernel relies on properties empirically determined from the data and does not assume an underlying distribution. The use of feature ranks on a probability space ensures that Semblance is computational efficacious, robust to outliers, and statistically stable, thus making it widely applicable algorithm for pattern analysis. The output from the kernel is a square, symmetric matrix that gives proximity values between pairs of observations.

This package provides a toolbox for constructing potential landscapes for dynamical systems using Monte Carlo simulation. The method is based on the potential landscape definition by Wang et al. (2008) <doi:10.1073/pnas.0800579105> (also see Zhou & Li, 2016 <doi:10.1063/1.4943096> for further mathematical discussions) and can be used for a large variety of models.

Allows for single-scenario simulation and for optimization of specific chosen scenarios. Further information can be found in Hernandez, Janzen and Lavretsky (2023) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13892>.

This package provides a method to explore the treatment-covariate interactions in survival or generalized linear model (GLM) for continuous, binomial and count data arising from two or more treatment arms of a clinical trial. A permutation distribution approach to inference is implemented, based on permuting the covariate values within each treatment group.

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.

Traditional methods for analyzing single cell RNA-seq datasets focus solely on gene expression, but this package introduces a novel approach that goes beyond this limitation. Using Gene Ontology terms as features, the package allows for the functional profile of cell populations, and comparison within and between datasets from the same or different species. Our approach enables the discovery of previously unrecognized functional similarities and differences between cell types and has demonstrated success in identifying cell types functional correspondence even between evolutionarily distant species.

This package provides an easy framework for Monte Carlo simulation in structural equation modeling, which can be used for various purposes, such as such as model fit evaluation, power analysis, or missing data handling and planning.

Deals with Young tableaux (field of combinatorics). For standard Young tabeaux, performs enumeration, counting, random generation, the Robinson-Schensted correspondence, and conversion to and from paths on the Young lattice. Also performs enumeration and counting of semistandard Young tableaux, enumeration of skew semistandard Young tableaux, enumeration of Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns, and computation of Kostka numbers.

This package provides a framework for evaluation of clinical trial safety. Users can interactively explore their data using the included Shiny application.

The sparseMatEst package provides functions for estimating sparse covariance and precision matrices with error control. A false positive rate is fixed corresponding to the probability of falsely including a matrix entry in the support of the estimator. It uses the binary search method outlined in Kashlak and Kong (2019) <arXiv:1705.02679> and in Kashlak (2019) <arXiv:1903.10988>.

Basic and model-based soil physical analyses.

The fossil record is a joint expression of ecological, taphonomic, evolutionary, and stratigraphic processes (Holland and Patzkowsky, 2012, ISBN:978-0226649382). This package allowing to simulate biological processes in the time domain (e.g., trait evolution, fossil abundance, phylogenetic trees), and examine how their expression in the rock record (stratigraphic domain) is influenced based on age-depth models, ecological niche models, and taphonomic effects. Functions simulating common processes used in modeling trait evolution, biostratigraphy or event type data such as first/last occurrences are provided and can be used standalone or as part of a pipeline. The package comes with example data sets and tutorials in several vignettes, which can be used as a template to set up one's own simulation.

The HJ-Biplot is a multivariate method that represents high-dimensional data in a low-dimensional subspace, capturing most of the informationâ s variability in just a few dimensions. This package implements three new regularized versions of the HJ-Biplot: Ridge, LASSO, and Elastic Net. These versions introduce restrictions that shrink or zero-out variable weights to improve interpretability based on regularization theory. All methods provide graphical representations using ggplot2'.

Pauly et al. (2008) <http://legacy.seaaroundus.s3.amazonaws.com/doc/Researcher+Publications/dpauly/PDF/2008/Books%26Chapters/FisheriesInLargeMarineEcosystems.pdf> created (and coined the name) Stock Status Plots for a UNEP compendium on Large Marine Ecosystems(LMEs, Sherman and Hempel (2009)<https://marineinfo.org/imis?module=ref&refid=142061&printversion=1&dropIMIStitle=1>). Stock status plots are bivariate graphs summarizing the status (e.g., developing, fully exploited, overexploited, etc.), through time, of the multispecies fisheries of a fished area or ecosystem. This package contains three functions to generate stock status plots viz., SSplots_pauly() (as per the criteria proposed by Pauly et al.,2008), SSplots_kleisner() (as per the criteria proposed by Kleisner and Pauly (2011) <http://www.ecomarres.com/downloads/regional.pdf> and Kleisner et al. (2013) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-2979.2012.00469.x>)and SSplots_EPI() (as per the criteria proposed by Jayasankar et al.,2021 <https://eprints.cmfri.org.in/11364/>).

Survival analysis using a flexible Bayesian model for individual-level right-censored data, optionally combined with aggregate data on counts of survivors in different periods of time. An M-spline is used to describe the hazard function, with a prior on the coefficients that controls over-fitting. Proportional hazards or flexible non-proportional hazards models can be used to relate survival to predictors. Additive hazards (relative survival) models, waning treatment effects, and mixture cure models are also supported. Priors can be customised and calibrated to substantive beliefs. Posterior distributions are estimated using Stan', and outputs are arranged in a tidy format. See Jackson (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12874-023-02094-1>.

Alternatively, the function SNAhelperGadget() can be used directly from the console. Additional addins include the Netreader() for reading network files, Netbuilder() to create small networks via point and click, and the Componentlayouter() to layout networks with many components manually.

This package provides datasets from Vigen (2015) <https://web.archive.org/web/20230607181247/https%3A/tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations> rescued from the Internet Wayback Machine. These should be preserved for statistics introductory courses as these make it very clear that correlation is not causation.
