This package provides tools for reading and writing biological sequences in multiple formats, including FASTA', PHYLIP', CLUSTAL', STOCKHOLM', MEGA and GenBank'. Supports interleaved and sequential layouts where applicable, converts between formats, and manipulates sequence sets (e.g., filtering by patterns and computing consensus sequences from alignments). Also includes functions to download nucleotide records from NCBI by accession.

This package provides a wrapper to access data from the SeeClickFix web API for R. SeeClickFix is a central platform employed by many cities that allows citizens to request their city's services. This package creates several functions to work with all the built-in calls to the SeeClickFix API. Allows users to download service request data from numerous locations in easy-to-use dataframe format manipulable in standard R functions.

Sonification (or audification) is the process of representing data by sounds in the audible range. This package provides the R function sonify() that transforms univariate data, sampled at regular or irregular intervals, into a continuous sound with time-varying frequency. The ups and downs in frequency represent the ups and downs in the data. Sonify provides a substitute for R's plot function to simplify data analysis for the visually impaired.

In the recent past, measurement of coverage has been mainly through two-stage cluster sampled surveys either as part of a nutrition assessment or through a specific coverage survey known as Centric Systematic Area Sampling (CSAS). However, such methods are resource intensive and often only used for final programme evaluation meaning results arrive too late for programme adaptation. SLEAC, which stands for Simplified Lot Quality Assurance Sampling Evaluation of Access and Coverage, is a low resource method designed specifically to address this limitation and is used regularly for monitoring, planning and importantly, timely improvement to programme quality, both for agency and Ministry of Health (MoH) led programmes. SLEAC is designed to complement the Semi-quantitative Evaluation of Access and Coverage (SQUEAC) method. This package provides functions for use in conducting a SLEAC assessment.

This package provides a collection of recycled and modified R functions to aid in file manipulation, data exploration, wrangling, optimization, and object manipulation. Other functions aid in convenient data visualization, loop progression, software packaging, and installation.

This package provides a collection of tools for analyzing significance of assets, funds, and trading strategies, based on the Sharpe ratio and overfit of the same. Provides density, distribution, quantile and random generation of the Sharpe ratio distribution based on normal returns, as well as the optimal Sharpe ratio over multiple assets. Computes confidence intervals on the Sharpe and provides a test of equality of Sharpe ratios based on the Delta method. The statistical foundations of the Sharpe can be found in the author's Short Sharpe Course <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3036276>.

Generate programmable surveys using markdown and R code chunks. Surveys are composed of two files: a survey.qmd Quarto file defining the survey content (pages, questions, etc), and an app.R file defining a shiny app with global settings (libraries, database configuration, etc.) and server configuration options (e.g., conditional skipping / display, etc.). Survey data collected from respondents is stored in a PostgreSQL database. Features include controls for conditional skip logic (skip to a page based on an answer to a question), conditional display logic (display a question based on an answer to a question), a customizable progress bar, and a wide variety of question types, including multiple choice (single choice and multiple choices), select, text, numeric, multiple choice buttons, text area, and dates. Because the surveys render into a shiny app, designers can also leverage the reactive capabilities of shiny to create dynamic and interactive surveys.

Implementation of SAPEVO-M, a Group Ordinal Method for Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM). SAPEVO-M is an acronym for Simple Aggregation of Preferences Expressed by Ordinal Vectors Group Decision Making. This method provides alternatives ranking given decision makers preferences: criteria preferences and alternatives preferences for each criterion.This method is described in Gomes et al. (2020) <doi: 10.1590/0101-7438.2020.040.00226524 >.

This package provides functions for efficiently estimating properties of the Van Genuchten-Mualem model for soil hydraulic parameters from possibly sparse soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity data by multi-response parameter estimation methods (Stewart, W.E., Caracotsios, M. Soerensen, J.P. (1992) "Parameter estimation from multi-response data" <doi:10.1002/aic.690380502>). Parameter estimation is simplified by exploiting the fact that residual and saturated water contents and saturated conductivity are conditionally linear parameters (Bates, D. M. and Watts, D. G. (1988) "Nonlinear Regression Analysis and Its Applications" <doi:10.1002/9780470316757>). Estimated parameters are optionally constrained by the evaporation characteristic length (Lehmann, P., Bickel, S., Wei, Z. and Or, D. (2020) "Physical Constraints for Improved Soil Hydraulic Parameter Estimation by Pedotransfer Functions" <doi:10.1029/2019WR025963>) to ensure that the estimated parameters are physically valid. Common S3 methods and further utility functions allow to process, explore and visualise estimation results.

This package performs the Partial Least-Squares ('PLS') algorithm for functional data through the concept of active area integration. This approach builds upon the basis expansion methods for functional PLS regression described in Aguilera et al. (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2010.09.007>. The package seamlessly handles both Scalar Functional Data ('SFD') and Categorical Functional Data ('CFD'), providing interpretable regression curves even for discrete state changes. It was developed during a PhD thesis between DECATHLON and French research institute INRIA 2022-2026. The SmoothPLS method does not directly decompose the data into a basis; rather, it assumes the data is known as precisely as desired, and for every PLS component, the weight functions are decomposed into the basis. For both single-state and multi-state CFD as well as SFD', the algorithm is implemented for a scalar response. To provide a baseline, a naive PLS method on time-value functions and standard Functional PLS are also implemented.

An index is created using a mathematical model that transforms multi-dimensional variables into a single value. These variables are often correlated, and while PCA-based indices can address the issue of multicollinearity, they typically do not account for survey weights, which can lead to inaccurate rankings of survey units such as households, districts, or states. To resolve this, the current package facilitates the development of a principal component analysis-based composite index by incorporating survey weights for each sample observation. This ensures the generation of a survey-weighted principal component-based normalized composite index. Additionally, the package provides a normalized principal component-based composite index and ranks the sample observations based on the values of the composite indices. For method details see, Skinner, C. J., Holmes, D. J. and Smith, T. M. F. (1986) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.1986.10478336>, Singh, D., Basak, P., Kumar, R. and Ahmad, T. (2023) <DOI:10.3389/fams.2023.1274530>.

Takes one or more fitted Cox proportional hazards models and writes a shiny application to a directory specified by the user. The shiny application displays predicted survival curves based on user input, and contains none of the original data used to create the Cox model or models. The goal is towards visualization and presentation of predicted survival curves.

An extension to the individual claim simulator called SynthETIC (on CRAN), to simulate the evolution of case estimates of incurred losses through the lifetime of an insurance claim. The transactional simulation output now comprises key dates, and both claim payments and revisions of estimated incurred losses. An initial set of test parameters, designed to mirror the experience of a real insurance portfolio, were set up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of incurred histories (see vignette). However, the distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can be easily modified by users to match their experiences.
