This tool fits a non-parametric Bayesian model called a "hierarchically coupled mixture model with local dependence (HCMM-LD)" to the original microdata in order to generate synthetic microdata for privacy protection. The non-parametric feature of the adopted model is useful for capturing the joint distribution of the original input data in a highly flexible manner, leading to the generation of synthetic data whose distributional features are similar to that of the input data. The package allows the original input data to have missing values and impute them with the posterior predictive distribution, so no missing values exist in the synthetic data output. The method builds on the work of Murray and Reiter (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1174132>.

Imbibition causes seeds to expand, which results in the seed coat or testa being broken. Seed germination begins with imbibition. Imbibition aids in the transport of water into the developing ovules. Imbibition is required during the first stages of root water absorption.

The Statistical Package for REliability Data Analysis (SPREDA) implements recently-developed statistical methods for the analysis of reliability data. Modern technological developments, such as sensors and smart chips, allow us to dynamically track product/system usage as well as other environmental variables, such as temperature and humidity. We refer to these variables as dynamic covariates. The package contains functions for the analysis of time-to-event data with dynamic covariates and degradation data with dynamic covariates. The package also contains functions that can be used for analyzing time-to-event data with right censoring, and with left truncation and right censoring. Financial support from NSF and DuPont are acknowledged.

In base R, object attributes are lost when objects are modified by common data operations such as subset, filter, slice, append, extract etc. This packages allows objects to be marked as sticky and have attributes persisted during these operations or when inserted into or extracted from list-like or table-like objects.

Seamlessly create interactive online catalogues for geospatial data. Items can be mapped as points or areas and retrieved using either a map or a dynamic table with search form and optional column filters.

Sequential triangular test for the arithmetic mean in one- and two- samples, proportions in one- and two-samples, and the Pearson's correlation coefficient.

This package provides tools to calculate the alpha parameter of the Weibull distribution, given beta and the age-specific fertility of a species, so that the population remains stable and stationary. Methods are inspired by "Survival profiles from linear models versus Weibull models: Estimating stable and stationary population structures for Pleistocene large mammals" (Martà n-González et al. 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jasrep.2019.03.031>.

In a clinical trial, it frequently occurs that the most credible outcome to evaluate the effectiveness of a new therapy (the true endpoint) is difficult to measure. In such a situation, it can be an effective strategy to replace the true endpoint by a (bio)marker that is easier to measure and that allows for a prediction of the treatment effect on the true endpoint (a surrogate endpoint). The package Surrogate allows for an evaluation of the appropriateness of a candidate surrogate endpoint based on the meta-analytic, information-theoretic, and causal-inference frameworks. Part of this software has been developed using funding provided from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration (Grant Agreement no 602552), the Special Research Fund (BOF) of Hasselt University (BOF-number: BOF2OCPO3), GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Baekeland Mandaat (HBC.2022.0145), and Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine.

This package implements L0-constrained Multi-Task Learning and domain generalization algorithms. The algorithms are coded in Julia allowing for fast implementations of the coordinate descent and local combinatorial search algorithms. For more details, see a preprint of the paper: Loewinger et al., (2022) <arXiv:2212.08697>.

This is a compilation of my preferred themes and related theme elements for ggplot2'. I believe these themes and theme elements are aesthetically pleasing, both for pedagogical instruction and for the presentation of applied statistical research to a wide audience. These themes imply routine use of easily obtained/free fonts, simple forms of which are included in this package.

The Swash-Backwash Model for the Single Epidemic Wave was developed by Cliff and Haggett (2006) <doi:10.1007/s10109-006-0027-8> to model the velocity of spread of infectious diseases across space. This package enables the calculation of the Swash-Backwash Model for user-supplied panel data on regional infections. The package provides additional functions for bootstrap confidence intervals, country comparison, visualization of results, and data management. Furthermore, it contains several functions for analysis and visualization of (spatial) infection data.

Imbalanced training datasets impede many popular classifiers. To balance training data, a combination of oversampling minority classes and undersampling majority classes is useful. This package implements the SCUT (SMOTE and Cluster-based Undersampling Technique) algorithm as described in Agrawal et. al. (2015) <doi:10.5220/0005595502260234>. Their paper uses model-based clustering and synthetic oversampling to balance multiclass training datasets, although other resampling methods are provided in this package.

Also performs several basic functions such as checking names validity, retrieving coordinate data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; <https://www.gbif.org/>), and mapping.

This package provides a general framework to perform statistical inference of each gene pair and global inference of whole-scale gene pairs in gene networks using the well known Gaussian graphical model (GGM) in a time-efficient manner. We focus on the high-dimensional settings where p (the number of genes) is allowed to be far larger than n (the number of subjects). Four main approaches are supported in this package: (1) the bivariate nodewise scaled Lasso (Ren et al (2015) <doi:10.1214/14-AOS1286>) (2) the de-sparsified nodewise scaled Lasso (Jankova and van de Geer (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11749-016-0503-5>) (3) the de-sparsified graphical Lasso (Jankova and van de Geer (2015) <doi:10.1214/15-EJS1031>) (4) the GGM estimation with false discovery rate control (FDR) using scaled Lasso or Lasso (Liu (2013) <doi:10.1214/13-AOS1169>). Windows users should install Rtools before the installation of this package.
