Implementation of SPECS, your favourite Single-Equation Penalized Error-Correction Selector developed in Smeekes and Wijler (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.07.021>. SPECS provides a fully automated estimation procedure for large and potentially (co)integrated datasets. The dataset in levels is converted to a conditional error-correction model, either by the user or by means of the functions included in this package, and various specialised forms of penalized regression can be applied to the model. Automated options for initializing and selecting a sequence of penalties, as well as the construction of penalty weights via an initial estimator, are available. Moreover, the user may choose from a number of pre-specified deterministic configurations to further simplify the model building process.

Phenotypic analysis of field trials using mixed models with and without spatial components. One of a series of statistical genetic packages for streamlining the analysis of typical plant breeding experiments developed by Biometris. Some functions have been created to be used in conjunction with the R package asreml for the ASReml software, which can be obtained upon purchase from VSN international (<https://vsni.co.uk/software/asreml-r/>).

Decision support tool for prioritizing sites for ecological surveys based on their potential to improve plans for conserving biodiversity (e.g. plans for establishing protected areas). Given a set of sites that could potentially be acquired for conservation management, it can be used to generate and evaluate plans for surveying additional sites. Specifically, plans for ecological surveys can be generated using various conventional approaches (e.g. maximizing expected species richness, geographic coverage, diversity of sampled environmental algorithms. After generating such survey plans, they can be evaluated using conditions) and maximizing value of information. Please note that several functions depend on the Gurobi optimization software (available from <https://www.gurobi.com>). Additionally, the JAGS software (available from <https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/>) is required to fit hierarchical generalized linear models. For further details, see Hanson et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/1365-2664.14309>.

Automatically fetch, transform and arrange subsets of multidimensional data sets (collections of files) stored in local and/or remote file systems or servers, using multicore capabilities where possible. This tool provides an interface to perceive a collection of data sets as a single large multidimensional data array, and enables the user to request for automatic retrieval, processing and arrangement of subsets of the large array. Wrapper functions to add support for custom file formats can be plugged in/out, making the tool suitable for any research field where large multidimensional data sets are involved.

An interface to the Python package stanza <https://stanfordnlp.github.io/stanza/index.html>. stanza is a Python NLP library for many human languages. It contains support for running various accurate natural language processing tools on 60+ languages.

Fits sparse linear varying coefficient models (VCMs), which assert a linear relationship between an outcome and several covariates that is allowed to change as functions of additional variables known as effect modifiers. Designed for high-dimensional settings where the number of covariates (i.e., number of slopes) is comparable to or larger than the number of observations. Approximates the coefficient functions using a version of Bayesian Additive Regression Trees that can perform global-local shrinkage. For more details see Ghosh, Bhogale, and Deshpande (2026+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.08204>.

Spatial statistical modeling and prediction for data on stream networks, including models based on in-stream distance (Ver Hoef, J.M. and Peterson, E.E., (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jasa.2009.ap08248>.) Models are created using moving average constructions. Spatial linear models, including explanatory variables, can be fit with (restricted) maximum likelihood. Mapping and other graphical functions are included.

This package provides a collection of classes and methods for working with times and dates. The code was originally available in S-PLUS'.

We provide functions for estimation and inference of locally-stationary time series using the sieve methods and bootstrapping procedure. In addition, it also contains functions to generate Daubechies and Coiflet wavelet by Cascade algorithm and to process data visualization.

This gadget allows you to use the recipes package belonging to tidymodels to carry out the data preprocessing tasks in an interactive way. Build your recipe by dragging the variables, visually analyze your data to decide which steps to use, add those steps and preprocess your data.

Calculates constant structure parameters of endocrine homeostatic systems from equilibrium hormone concentrations. Methods and equations have been described in Dietrich et al. (2012) <doi:10.1155/2012/351864> and Dietrich et al. (2016) <doi:10.3389/fendo.2016.00057>.

Efficient procedures for fitting and cross-validating the structurally-regularized time-dependent Cox models.

Create Upset plots using a combination of ggplot2 and patchwork'.

This package provides flexible hazard ratio curves allowing non-linear relationships between continuous predictors and survival. To better understand the effects that each continuous covariate has on the outcome, results are expressed in terms of hazard ratio curves, taking a specific covariate value as reference. Confidence bands for these curves are also derived.

Spatial Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SSFA) is an original method for controlling the spatial heterogeneity in Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) models, for cross-sectional data, by splitting the inefficiency term into three terms: the first one related to spatial peculiarities of the territory in which each single unit operates, the second one related to the specific production features and the third one representing the error term.

The price action at any given time is determined by investor sentiment and market conditions. Although there is no established principle, over a long period of time, things often move with a certain periodicity. This is sometimes referred to as anomaly. The seasonPlot() function in this package calculates and visualizes the average value of price movements over a year for any given period. In addition, the monthly increase or decrease in price movement is represented with a colored background. This seasonPlot() function can use the same symbols as the quantmod package (e.g. ^IXIC, ^DJI, SPY, BTC-USD, and ETH-USD etc).

This package provides a function that behaves nearly as base::source() but implements a caching mechanism on disk, project based. It allows to quasi source() R scripts that gather data but can fail or consume to much time to respond even if nothing new is expected. It comes with tools to check and execute on demand or when cache is invalid the script.

This package contains several tools for nonlinear regression analyses and general data analysis in biology and agriculture. Contains also datasets for practicing and teaching purposes. Supports the blog: Onofri (2024) "Fixing the bridge between biologists and statisticians" <https://www.statforbiology.com> and the book: Onofri (2024) "Experimental Methods in Agriculture" <https://www.statforbiology.com/_statbookeng/>. The blog is a collection of short articles aimed at improving the efficiency of communication between biologists and statisticians, as pointed out in Kozak (2016) <doi:10.1590/0103-9016-2015-0399>, spreading a better awareness of the potential usefulness, beauty and limitations of biostatistic.

This package performs variable selection using the structured screen-and-select (S3VS) framework in linear models, generalized linear models with binary data, and survival models such as the Cox model and accelerated failure time (AFT) model.

Analysis tools to investigate changes in intercellular communication from scRNA-seq data. Using a Seurat object as input, the package infers which cell-cell interactions are present in the dataset and how these interactions change between two conditions of interest (e.g. young vs old). It relies on an internal database of ligand-receptor interactions (available for human, mouse and rat) that have been gathered from several published studies. Detection and differential analyses rely on permutation tests. The package also contains several tools to perform over-representation analysis and visualize the results. See Lagger, C. et al. (2023) <doi:10.1038/s43587-023-00514-x> for a full description of the methodology.
