Efficiently estimates treatment effects in settings with randomized staggered rollouts, using tools proposed by Roth and Sant'Anna (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2102.01291>.

This package implements a generative model that uses a spike-and-slab like prior distribution obtained by multiplying a deterministic binary vector. Such a model allows an EM algorithm, optimizing a type-II log-likelihood.

The cartogram heatmaps generated by the included methods are an alternative to choropleth maps for the United States and are based on work by the Washington Post graphics department in their report on "The states most threatened by trade" (<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/business/states-most-threatened-by-trade/>). "State bins" preserve as much of the geographic placement of the states as possible but have the look and feel of a traditional heatmap. Functions are provided that allow for use of a binned, discrete scale, a continuous scale or manually specified colors depending on what is needed for the underlying data.

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the sum of independent non-identical binomial distribution with parameters \codesize and \codeprob.

Fits semiparametric linear and multilevel models with non-parametric additive Bayesian additive regression tree (BART; Chipman, George, and McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>) components and Stan (Stan Development Team (2021) <https://mc-stan.org/>) sampled parametric ones. Multilevel models can be expressed using lme4 syntax (Bates, Maechler, Bolker, and Walker (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i01>).

Graphical and computational methods that can be used to assess the stability of results from supervised statistical learning.

Identify and understand clusters of points (typically representing the locations of places or events) stored in simple-features (SF) objects. This is useful for analysing, for example, hot-spots of crime events. The package emphasises producing results from point SF data in a single step using reasonable default values for all other arguments, to aid rapid data analysis by users who are starting out. Functions available include kernel density estimation (for details, see Yip (2020) <doi:10.22224/gistbok/2020.1.12>), analysis of spatial association (Getis and Ord (1992) <doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1992.tb00261.x>) and hot-spot classification (Chainey (2020) ISBN:158948584X).

Add fancy CSS effects to your shinydashboards or shiny apps. 100% compatible with shinydashboardPlus and bs4Dash'.

Mixed-effect proportional hazards models for multistage stratified, cluster-sampled, unequally weighted survey samples. Provides variance estimation by Taylor series linearisation or replicate weights.

An outcome-guided algorithm is developed to identify clusters of samples with similar characteristics and survival rate. The algorithm first builds a random forest and then defines distances between samples based on the fitted random forest. Given the distances, we can apply hierarchical clustering algorithms to define clusters. Details about this method is described in <https://github.com/luyouepiusf/SurvivalClusteringTree>.

Computing the one-sided/two-sided integrated/maximally selected EL statistics for simultaneous testing, the one-sided/two-sided EL tests for pointwise testing, and an initial test that precedes one-sided testing to exclude the possibility of crossings or alternative orderings among the survival functions.

This package provides tools for the stochastic simulation of effectiveness scores to mitigate data-related limitations of Information Retrieval evaluation research, as described in Urbano and Nagler (2018) <doi:10.1145/3209978.3210043>. These tools include: fitting, selection and plotting distributions to model system effectiveness, transformation towards a prespecified expected value, proxy to fitting of copula models based on these distributions, and simulation of new evaluation data from these distributions and copula models.

This package contains the function CUUimpute() which performs model-based clustering and imputation simultaneously.

Do multi-gene descent probabilities (Thompson, 1983, <doi:10.1098/rspb.1983.0072>) and special cases thereof (Thompson, 1986, <doi:10.1002/zoo.1430050210>) including inbreeding and kinship coefficients. But does much more: probabilities of any set of genes descending from any other set of genes.

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>.

Multi-stage selection is practiced in numerous fields of life and social sciences and particularly in breeding. A special characteristic of multi-stage selection is that candidates are evaluated in successive stages with increasing intensity and effort, and only a fraction of the superior candidates is selected and promoted to the next stage. For the optimum design of such selection programs, the selection gain plays a crucial role. It can be calculated by integration of a truncated multivariate normal (MVN) distribution. While mathematical formulas for calculating the selection gain and the variance among selected candidates were developed long time ago, solutions for numerical calculation were not available. This package can also be used for optimizing multi-stage selection programs for a given total budget and different costs of evaluating the candidates in each stage.

This package provides methods for regression with high-dimensional predictors and univariate or maltivariate response variables. It considers the decomposition of the coefficient matrix that leads to the best approximation to the signal part in the response given any rank, and estimates the decomposition by solving a penalized generalized eigenvalue problem followed by a least squares procedure.

Supports reading and writing sequences for different formats (currently interleaved and sequential formats for FASTA and PHYLIP'), file conversion, and manipulation (e.g. filter sequences that contain specify pattern, export consensus sequence from an alignment).

Estimation of the required sample size to validate a risk model for binary outcomes, based on the sample size equations proposed by Pavlou et al. (2021) <doi:10.1177/09622802211007522>. For precision-based sample size calculations, the user is required to enter the anticipated values of the C-statistic and outcome prevalence, which can be obtained from a previous study. The user also needs to specify the required precision (standard error) for the C-statistic, the calibration slope and the calibration in the large. The calculations are valid under the assumption of marginal normality for the distribution of the linear predictor.

This package provides a very bare-bones interface to use the Metropolis-Hastings Monte Carlo Markov Chain algorithm. It is suitable for teaching and testing purposes.

Functionality for spatio-temporal modeling of large data sets is provided. A Gaussian process in space and time is defined through a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE). The SPDE is solved in the spectral space, and after discretizing in time and space, a linear Gaussian state space model is obtained. When doing inference, the main computational difficulty consists in evaluating the likelihood and in sampling from the full conditional of the spectral coefficients, or equivalently, the latent space-time process. In comparison to the traditional approach of using a spatio-temporal covariance function, the spectral SPDE approach is computationally advantageous. See Sigrist, Kuensch, and Stahel (2015) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12061> for more information on the methodology. This package aims at providing tools for two different modeling approaches. First, the SPDE based spatio-temporal model can be used as a component in a customized hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM). The functions of the package then provide parameterizations of the process part of the model as well as computationally efficient algorithms needed for doing inference with the HBM. Alternatively, the adaptive MCMC algorithm implemented in the package can be used as an algorithm for doing inference without any additional modeling. The MCMC algorithm supports data that follow a Gaussian or a censored distribution with point mass at zero. Covariates can be included in the model through a regression term.
