This statistical method uses the nearest neighbor algorithm to estimate absolute distances between single cells based on a chosen constellation of surface proteins, with these distances being a measure of the similarity between the two cells being compared. Based on Sen, N., Mukherjee, G., and Arvin, A.M. (2015) <DOI:10.1016/j.ymeth.2015.07.008>.

Computerized Adaptive Testing simulations with dichotomous and polytomous items. Selects items with Maximum Fisher Information method or randomly, with or without constraints (content balancing and item exposure control). Evaluates the simulation results in terms of precision, item exposure, and test length. Inspired on Magis & Barrada (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.c01>.

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>.

The <http://standartox.uni-landau.de> database offers cleaned, harmonized and aggregated ecotoxicological test data, which can be used for assessing effects and risks of chemical concentrations found in the environment.

This package implements functions for working with absorbing Markov chains. The implementation is based on the framework described in "Toward a unified framework for connectivity that disentangles movement and mortality in space and time" by Fletcher et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/ele.13333>, which applies them to spatial ecology. This framework incorporates both resistance and absorption with spatial absorbing Markov chains (SAMC) to provide several short-term and long-term predictions for metrics related to connectivity in landscapes. Despite the ecological context of the framework, this package can be used in any application of absorbing Markov chains.

Implement a GAM-based (Generalized Additive Models) spatial surplus production model (spatial SPM), aimed at modeling northern shrimp population in Atlantic Canada but potentially to any stock in any location. The package is opinionated in its implementation of SPMs as it internally makes the choice to use penalized spatial gams with time lags. However, it also aims to provide options for the user to customize their model. The methods are described in Pedersen et al. (2022, <https://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/ResDocs-DocRech/2022/2022_062-eng.html>).

Stop signal task data of go and stop trials is generated per participant. The simulation process is based on the generally non-independent horse race model and fixed stop signal delay or tracking method. Each of go and stop process is assumed having exponentially modified Gaussian(ExG) or Shifted Wald (SW) distributions. The output data can be converted to BEESTS software input data enabling researchers to test and evaluate various brain stopping processes manifested by ExG or SW distributional parameters of interest. Methods are described in: Soltanifar M (2020) <https://hdl.handle.net/1807/101208>, Matzke D, Love J, Wiecki TV, Brown SD, Logan GD and Wagenmakers E-J (2013) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00918>, Logan GD, Van Zandt T, Verbruggen F, Wagenmakers EJ. (2014) <doi:10.1037/a0035230>.

Fitting of non-parametric production frontiers for use in efficiency analysis. Methods are provided for both a smooth analogue of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and a non-parametric analogue of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Frontiers are constructed for multiple inputs and a single output using constrained kernel smoothing as in Racine et al. (2009), which allow for the imposition of monotonicity and concavity constraints on the estimated frontier.

This package provides functions that wrap HTML Bootstrap components code to enable the design and layout of informative landing home pages for Shiny applications. This can lead to a better user experience for the users and writing less HTML for the developer.

Compute the frequency distribution of a search term in a series of texts. For example, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a total of 60 Sherlock Holmes stories, comprised of 54 short stories and 4 longer novels. I wanted to test my own subjective impression that, in many of the stories, Sherlock Holmes popularity was used as bait to induce the reader to read a story that is essentially not primarily a Sherlock Holmes story. I used the term "Holmes" as a search pattern, since Watson would frequently address him by name, or use his name to describe something that he was doing. My hypothesis is that the frequency distribution of the search pattern "Holmes" is a good proxy for the degree to which a story is or is not truly a Sherlock Holmes story. The results are presented in a manuscript that is available as a vignette and online at <https://barryzee.github.io/Concordance/index.html>.

This package provides a simple, light, and robust interface between R and the Scryfall card data API <https://scryfall.com/docs/api>.

This package implements the Smoothness-Penalized Deconvolution method for estimating a probability density under measurement error of Kent and Ruppert (2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2259028>. The estimator is formed by computing a histogram of the error-contaminated data, and then finding an estimate that minimizes a reconstruction error plus a smoothness-inducing penalty term. The primary function, sped(), takes the data and error distribution, and returns the estimator as a function.

This package produces tables with descriptive statistics for continuous, categorical and dichotomous variables. It is largely based on the package gtsummary'; Sjoberg DD et al. (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-053>.

There is variation across AgNPs due to differences in characterization techniques and testing metrics employed in studies. To address this problem, we have developed a systematic evaluation framework called sysAgNPs'. Within this framework, Distribution Entropy (DE) is utilized to measure the uncertainty of feature categories of AgNPs, Proclivity Entropy (PE) assesses the preference of these categories, and Combination Entropy (CE) quantifies the uncertainty of feature combinations of AgNPs. Additionally, a Markov chain model is employed to examine the relationships among the sub-features of AgNPs and to determine a Transition Score (TS) scoring standard that is based on steady-state probabilities. The sysAgNPs framework provides metrics for evaluating AgNPs, which helps to unravel their complexity and facilitates effective comparisons among different AgNPs, thereby advancing the scientific research and application of these AgNPs.

This package provides functions for constructing mathematical models of dynamical systems from measured input-output data.

This package provides tools and methods to simulate populations for surveys based on auxiliary data. The tools include model-based methods, calibration and combinatorial optimization algorithms, see Templ, Kowarik and Meindl (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v079.i10>) and Templ (2017) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-50272-4>. The package was developed with support of the International Household Survey Network, DFID Trust Fund TF011722 and funds from the World bank.

Implementation of sequential trial emulation for the analysis of observational databases. The SEQTaRget software accommodates time-varying treatments and confounders, as well as binary and failure time outcomes. SEQTaRget allows to compare both static and dynamic strategies, can be used to estimate observational analogs of intention-to-treat and per-protocol effects, and can adjust for potential selection bias induced by losses-to-follow-up. (Paper to come).

This package provides a robust and powerful empirical Bayesian approach is developed for replicability analysis of two large-scale experimental studies. The method controls the false discovery rate by using the joint local false discovery rate based on the replicability null as the test statistic. An EM algorithm combined with a shape constraint nonparametric method is used to estimate unknown parameters and functions. [Li, Y. et al., (2024), <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1011423>].
