The function estimates the hazard function non parametrically from a survival object (possibly adjusted for covariates). The smoothed estimate is based on B-splines from the perspective of generalized linear mixed models. Left truncated and right censoring data are allowed. The package is based on the work in Rebora P (2014) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2014-028>.

MDS is a statistic tool for reduction of dimensionality, using as input a distance matrix of dimensions n à n. When n is large, classical algorithms suffer from computational problems and MDS configuration can not be obtained. With this package, we address these problems by means of six algorithms, being two of them original proposals: - Landmark MDS proposed by De Silva V. and JB. Tenenbaum (2004). - Interpolation MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Reduced MDS proposed by Paradis E (2018). - Pivot MDS proposed by Brandes U. and C. Pich (2007) - Divide-and-conquer MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Fast MDS, proposed by Yang, T., J. Liu, L. McMillan and W. Wang (2006).

Bit-level reading and writing are necessary when dealing with many file formats e.g. compressed data and binary files. Currently, R connections are manipulated at the byte level. This package wraps existing connections and raw vectors so that it is possible to read bits, bit sequences, unaligned bytes and low-bit representations of integers.

This package implements the EM algorithm with one-step Gradient Descent method to estimate the parameters of the Block-Basu bivariate Pareto distribution with location and scale. We also found parametric bootstrap and asymptotic confidence intervals based on the observed Fisher information of scale and shape parameters, and exact confidence intervals for location parameters. Details are in Biplab Paul and Arabin Kumar Dey (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1608.02199> "An EM algorithm for absolutely continuous Marshall-Olkin bivariate Pareto distribution with location and scale"; E L Lehmann and George Casella (1998) <doi:10.1007/b98854> "Theory of Point Estimation"; Bradley Efron and R J Tibshirani (1994) <doi:10.1201/9780429246593> "An Introduction to the Bootstrap"; A P Dempster, N M Laird and D B Rubin (1977) <www.jstor.org/stable/2984875> "Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data via the EM Algorithm".

This package implements functions that calculate upper prediction bounds on the false discovery proportion (FDP) in the list of discoveries returned by competition-based setups, implementing Ebadi et al. (2022) <arXiv:2302.11837>. Such setups include target-decoy competition (TDC) in computational mass spectrometry and the knockoff construction in linear regression (note this package typically uses the terminology of TDC). Included is the standardized (TDC-SB) and uniform (TDC-UB) bound on TDC's FDP, and the simultaneous standardized and uniform bands. Requires pre-computed Monte Carlo statistics available at <https://github.com/uni-Arya/fdpbandsdata>. This data can be downloaded by running the command devtools::install_github("uni-Arya/fdpbandsdata") in R and restarting R after installation. The size of this data is roughly 81Mb.

This package performs estimation of marginal treatment effects for binary outcomes when using logistic regression working models with covariate adjustment (see discussions in Magirr et al (2024) <https://osf.io/9mp58/>).

This package provides an approach which is based on the methodology of the Burden of Communicable Diseases in Europe (BCoDE) and can be used for large and small samples such as individual countries. The Burden of Healthcare-Associated Infections (BHAI) is estimated in disability-adjusted life years, number of infections as well as number of deaths per year. Results can be visualized with various plotting functions and exported into tables.

Bayesian Latent Class Analysis using several different methods.

Bayesian purity model to estimate tumor purity using methylation array data (DNA methylation Infinium 450K array data) without reference samples.

Fits a piecewise exponential hazard to survival data using a Hierarchical Bayesian model with an Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive formulation for the spatial dependency in the hazard rates for each piece. This function uses Metropolis- Hastings-Green MCMC to allow the number of split points to vary and also uses Stochastic Search Variable Selection to determine what covariates drive the risk of the event. This function outputs trace plots depicting the number of split points in the hazard and the number of variables included in the hazard. The function saves all posterior quantities to the desired path.

Bayes factors represent the ratio of probabilities assigned to data by competing scientific hypotheses. However, one drawback of Bayes factors is their dependence on prior specifications that define null and alternative hypotheses. Additionally, there are challenges in their computation. To address these issues, we define Bayes factor functions (BFFs) directly from common test statistics. BFFs express Bayes factors as a function of the prior densities used to define the alternative hypotheses. These prior densities are centered on standardized effects, which serve as indices for the BFF. Therefore, BFFs offer a summary of evidence in favor of alternative hypotheses that correspond to a range of scientifically interesting effect sizes. Such summaries remove the need for arbitrary thresholds to determine "statistical significance." BFFs are available in closed form and can be easily computed from z, t, chi-squared, and F statistics. They depend on hyperparameters "r" and "tau^2", which determine the shape and scale of the prior distributions defining the alternative hypotheses. Plots of BFFs versus effect size provide informative summaries of hypothesis tests that can be easily aggregated across studies.
