This package provides functions to implement group sequential procedures that allow for early stopping to declare efficacy using a surrogate marker and the possibility of futility stopping. More details are available in: Parast, L. and Bartroff, J (2024) <doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujae108>. A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://www.laylaparast.com/surrogateseq>. A Shiny App implementing the methods can be found at <https://parastlab.shinyapps.io/SurrogateSeqApp/>.

The aim of the package is to provide some basic functions for doing statistics with one dimensional Fuzzy Data (in the form of polygonal fuzzy numbers). In particular, the package contains functions for the basic operations on the class of fuzzy numbers (sum, scalar product, mean, median, Hukuhara difference) as well as for calculating (Bertoluzza) distance and sample variance. Moreover a function to simulate fuzzy random variables and bootstrap tests for the equality of means is included. Version 2.1 fixes some bugs of previous versions.

Implementation of a model-based bootstrap approach for testing whether two formulations are similar. The package provides a function for fitting a pharmacokinetic model to time-concentration data and comparing the results for all five candidate models regarding the Residual Sum of Squares (RSS). The candidate set contains a First order, Hixson-Crowell, Higuchi, Weibull and a logistic model. The assessment of similarity implemented in this package is performed regarding the maximum deviation of the profiles. See Moellenhoff et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7689> for details.

Stagewise techniques implemented with Generalized Estimating Equations to handle individual, group, bi-level, and interaction selection. Stagewise approaches start with an empty model and slowly build the model over several iterations, which yields a path of candidate models from which model selection can be performed. This slow brewing approach gives stagewise techniques a unique flexibility that allows simple incorporation of Generalized Estimating Equations; see Vaughan, G., Aseltine, R., Chen, K., Yan, J., (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12669> for details.

An implementation of the stratification index proposed by Zhou (2012) <DOI:10.1177/0081175012452207>. The package provides two functions, srank, which returns stratum-specific information, including population share and average percentile rank; and strat, which returns the stratification index and its approximate standard error. When a grouping factor is specified, strat also provides a detailed decomposition of the overall stratification into between-group and within-group components.

Simplicially constrained regression models for proportions in both sides. The constraint is always that the betas are non-negative and sum to 1.

Uncertainty propagation analysis in spatial environmental modelling following methodology described in Heuvelink et al. (2007) <doi:10.1080/13658810601063951> and Brown and Heuvelink (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2006.06.015>. The package provides functions for examining the uncertainty propagation starting from input data and model parameters, via the environmental model onto model outputs. The functions include uncertainty model specification, stochastic simulation and propagation of uncertainty using Monte Carlo (MC) techniques. Uncertain variables are described by probability distributions. Both numerical and categorical data types are handled. Spatial auto-correlation within an attribute and cross-correlation between attributes is accommodated for. The MC realizations may be used as input to the environmental models called from R, or externally.

Shadow Document Object Model is a web standard that offers component style and markup encapsulation. It is a critically important piece of the Web Components story as it ensures that a component will work in any environment even if other CSS or JavaScript is at play on the page. Custom HTML tags can't be directly identified with selenium tools, because Selenium doesn't provide any way to deal with shadow elements. Using this plugin you can handle any custom HTML tags.

In the past decade, genome-scale metabolic reconstructions have widely been used to comprehend the systems biology of metabolic pathways within an organism. Different GSMs are constructed using various techniques that require distinct steps, but the input data, information conversion and software tools are neither concisely defined nor mathematically or programmatically formulated in a context-specific manner.The tool that quantitatively and qualitatively specifies each reconstruction steps and can generate a template list of reconstruction steps dynamically selected from a reconstruction step reservoir, constructed based on all available published papers.

The developed function generates soil salinity indices using satellite data, utilizing multiple spectral bands such as Blue, Green, Red, Near-Infrared (NIR), and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR1, SWIR2). It computes 24 different salinity indices crucial for monitoring and analyzing salt-affected soils efficiently. For more details see, Rani, et al. (2022). <DOI: 10.1007/s12517-022-09682-3>. One of the key features of the developed function is its flexibility. Users can provide any combination of the required spectral bands, and the function will automatically calculate only the relevant indices based on the available data. This dynamic capability ensures that users can maximize the utility of their data without the need for all spectral bands, making the package versatile and user-friendly. Outputs are provided as GeoTIFF file format, facilitating easy integration with GIS workflows.

The implementation of SHAPBoost, a boosting-based feature selection technique that ranks features iteratively based on Shapley values.

PAM (Partitioning Around Medoids) algorithm application to samples of single cell sequencing techniques with a high number of cells (as many as the computer memory allows). The package uses a binary format to store matrices (either full, sparse or symmetric) in files written in the disk that can contain any data type (not just double) which allows its manipulation when memory is sufficient to load them as int or float, but not as double. The PAM implementation is done in parallel, using several/all the cores of the machine, if it has them. This package shares a great part of its code with packages jmatrix and parallelpam but their functionality is included here so there is no need to install them.

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>.
