This package provides a design-based approach to statistical inference, with a focus on spatial data. Spatially balanced samples are selected using the Generalized Random Tessellation Stratified (GRTS) algorithm. The GRTS algorithm can be applied to finite resources (point geometries) and infinite resources (linear / linestring and areal / polygon geometries) and flexibly accommodates a diverse set of sampling design features, including stratification, unequal inclusion probabilities, proportional (to size) inclusion probabilities, legacy (historical) sites, a minimum distance between sites, and two options for replacement sites (reverse hierarchical order and nearest neighbor). Data are analyzed using a wide range of analysis functions that perform categorical variable analysis, continuous variable analysis, attributable risk analysis, risk difference analysis, relative risk analysis, change analysis, and trend analysis. spsurvey can also be used to summarize objects, visualize objects, select samples that are not spatially balanced, select panel samples, measure the amount of spatial balance in a sample, adjust design weights, and more. For additional details, see Dumelle et al. (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i03>.

Creation of an individual claims simulator which generates various features of non-life insurance claims. An initial set of test parameters, designed to mirror the experience of an Auto Liability portfolio, were set up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of individual claims (see vignette). The simulated data set then allows practitioners to back-test the validity of various reserving models and to prove and/or disprove certain actuarial assumptions made in claims modelling. The distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can be easily modified by users to match their experiences.

Simulate, solve state space models.

This package provides an efficient method to recover the missing block of an approximately low-rank matrix. Current literature on matrix completion focuses primarily on independent sampling models under which the individual observed entries are sampled independently. Motivated by applications in genomic data integration, we propose a new framework of structured matrix completion (SMC) to treat structured missingness by design [Cai T, Cai TT, Zhang A (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1021005>]. Specifically, our proposed method aims at efficient matrix recovery when a subset of the rows and columns of an approximately low-rank matrix are observed. The main function in our package, smc.FUN(), is for recovery of the missing block A22 of an approximately low-rank matrix A given the other blocks A11, A12, A21.

Troubleshooting reactive data in shiny can be difficult. These functions will convert reactive data frames into functions and load all assigned objects into your local environment. If you create a dummy input object, as the function will suggest, you will be able to test your server and ui functions interactively.

This package provides a spatial population can be generated based on spatially varying regression model under the assumption that observations are collected from a uniform two-dimensional grid consist of (m * m) lattice points with unit distance between any two neighbouring points. For method details see Chao, Liu., Chuanhua, Wei. and Yunan, Su. (2018).<DOI:10.1080/10485252.2018.1499907>. This spatially generated data can be used to test different issues related to the statistical analysis of spatial data. This generated spatial data can be utilized in geographically weighted regression analysis for studying the spatially varying relationships among the variables.

Non-proportional hazard (NPH) is commonly observed in immuno-oncology studies, where the survival curves of the treatment and control groups show delayed separation. To properly account for NPH, several statistical methods have been developed. One such method is Max-Combo test, which is a straightforward and flexible hypothesis testing method that can simultaneously test for constant, early, middle, and late treatment effects. However, the majority of the Max-Combo test performed in clinical studies are unstratified, ignoring the important prognostic stratification factors. To fill this gap, we have developed an R package for stratified Max-Combo testing that accounts for stratified baseline factors. Our package explores various methods for calculating combined test statistics, estimating joint distributions, and determining the p-values.

Offers a helping hand to psychologists and other behavioral scientists who routinely deal with experimental data from factorial experiments. It includes several functions to format output from other R functions according to the style guidelines of the APA (American Psychological Association). This formatted output can be copied directly into manuscripts to facilitate data reporting. These features are backed up by a toolkit of several small helper functions, e.g., offering out-of-the-box outlier removal. The package lends its name to Georg "Schorsch" Schuessler, ingenious technician at the Department of Psychology III, University of Wuerzburg.

Fast k-nearest neighbors (K-NN) and principal component analysis (PCA) imputation algorithms for missing values in high-dimensional numeric matrices, i.e., epigenetic data. For extremely high-dimensional data with ordered features, a sliding window approach for K-NN or PCA imputation is provided. Additional features include group-wise imputation (e.g., by chromosome), hyperparameter tuning with repeated cross-validation, multi-core parallelization, and optional subset imputation. The K-NN algorithm is described in: Hastie, T., Tibshirani, R., Sherlock, G., Eisen, M., Brown, P. and Botstein, D. (1999) "Imputing Missing Data for Gene Expression Arrays". The PCA imputation is an optimized version of the imputePCA() function from the missMDA package described in: Josse, J. and Husson, F. (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i01> "missMDA: A Package for Handling Missing Values in Multivariate Data Analysis".

This package provides tools for making, retrieving, displaying and solving sudoku games. This package is an alternative to the earlier sudoku-solver package, sudoku'. The present package uses a slightly different algorithm, has a simpler coding and presents a few more sugar tools, such as plot and print methods. Solved sudoku games are of some interest in Experimental Design as examples of Latin Square designs with additional balance constraints.

An implementation of ranked sparsity methods, including penalized regression methods such as the sparsity-ranked lasso, its non-convex alternatives, and elastic net, as well as the sparsity-ranked Bayesian Information Criterion. As described in Peterson and Cavanaugh (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10182-021-00431-7>, ranked sparsity is a philosophy with methods primarily useful for variable selection in the presence of prior informational asymmetry, which occurs in the context of trying to perform variable selection in the presence of interactions and/or polynomials. Ultimately, this package attempts to facilitate dealing with cumbersome interactions and polynomials while not avoiding them entirely. Typically, models selected under ranked sparsity principles will also be more transparent, having fewer falsely selected interactions and polynomials than other methods.

Self-Consistent Field(SCF) calculation method is one of the most important steps in the calculation methods of quantum chemistry. Ehrenreich, H., & Cohen, M. H. (1959). <doi:10.1103/PhysRev.115.786> However, the most prevailing software in this area, Gaussian''s SCF convergence process is hard to monitor, especially while the job is still running, causing researchers difficulty in knowing whether the oscillation has started or not, wasting time and energy on useless configurations or abandoning the jobs that can actually work. M.J. Frisch, G.W. Trucks, H.B. Schlegel et al. (2016). <https://gaussian.com> SCFMonitor enables Gaussian quantum chemistry calculation software users to easily read the Gaussian .log files and monitor the SCF convergence and geometry optimization process with little effort and clear, beautiful, and clean outputs. It can generate graphs using tidyverse to let users check SCF convergence and geometry optimization processes in real-time. The software supports processing .log files remotely using with rbase::url(). This software is a suitcase for saving time and energy for the researchers, supporting multiple versions of Gaussian'.
