Uses logistic regression to model the probability of detection as a function of covariates. This model is then used with observational survey data to estimate population size, while accounting for uncertain detection. See Steinhorst and Samuel (1989).

Introduces a fast and efficient Surrogate Variable Analysis algorithm that captures variation of unknown sources (batch effects) for high-dimensional data sets. The algorithm is built on the irwsva.build function of the sva package and proposes a revision on it that achieves an order of magnitude faster running time while trading no accuracy loss in return.

An ADMM implementation of SDP-1, a semidefinite programming relaxation of the maximum likelihood estimator for fitting a block model. SDP-1 has a tendency to produce equal-sized blocks and is ideal for producing a form of network histogram approximating a nonparametric graphon model. Alternatively, it can be used for community detection. (This is experimental code, proceed with caution.).

Download data (tables and datasets) from the Swiss National Bank (SNB; <https://www.snb.ch/en>), the Swiss central bank. The package is lightweight and comes with few dependencies; suggested packages are used only if data is to be transformed into particular data structures, for instance into zoo objects. Downloaded data can optionally be cached, to avoid repeated downloads of the same files.

This package provides reusable functions for aggregated cluster-period data, mixed-effects analysis, and simulation-based power and type I error evaluation in stepped-wedge cluster randomized trials. The design and mixed-effects analysis follow Hussey and Hughes (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.cct.2006.05.007>. Intraclass correlations for binary outcomes are converted to logistic-normal random-intercept standard deviations following Eldridge, Ukoumunne and Carlin (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1751-5823.2009.00092.x>. Monte Carlo uncertainty in estimated power is summarized using the exact binomial interval of Clopper and Pearson (1934) <doi:10.1093/biomet/26.4.404>. The simulation engine supports sequence-specific baseline risks, cluster random effects, direct intraclass-correlation specification, Monte Carlo uncertainty intervals, and model-fitting diagnostics. Applied physician and specialty helpers are retained for backward compatibility and for an example health-services workflow.

This package provides a flexible framework for fitting generalized linear models (GLMs) with slab and shrinkage estimators. Methods include the Stein estimator (St), Diagonal Shrinkage (DSh), Simple Slab Regression (SR), Generalized Slab Regression (GSR), Ledoit-Wolf Linear Shrinkage (LW), Quadratic-Inverse Shrinkage (QIS), and Shrinkage (Sh), all integrated into the iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm. This approach enhances estimation accuracy, convergence, and robustness in the presence of multicollinearity. The best-fitting model is selected based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). Methods are related to methods described in Marschner (2011) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2011-012>, Asimit et al. (2025) <https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/35005/>, Ledoit and Wolf (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0047-259X(03)00096-4>, and Ledoit and Wolf (2022) <doi:10.3150/20-BEJ1315>.

Analyzing soil food webs or any food web measured at equilibrium. The package calculates carbon and nitrogen fluxes and stability properties using methods described by Hunt et al. (1987) <doi:10.1007/BF00260580>, de Ruiter et al. (1995) <doi:10.1126/science.269.5228.1257>, Holtkamp et al. (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.soilbio.2010.10.004>, and Buchkowski and Lindo (2021) <doi:10.1111/1365-2435.13706>. The package can also manipulate the structure of the food web as well as simulate food webs away from equilibrium and run decomposition experiments.

This package creates a wrapper for the SuiteSparse routines that execute the Takahashi equations. These equations compute the elements of the inverse of a sparse matrix at locations where the its Cholesky factor is structurally non-zero. The resulting matrix is known as a sparse inverse subset. Some helper functions are also implemented. Support for spam matrices is currently limited and will be implemented in the future. See Rue and Martino (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2006.07.016> and Zammit-Mangion and Rougier (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2018.02.001> for the application of these equations to statistics.

This package provides tools for accessing and processing datasets prepared by the Foundation SmarterPoland.pl. Among all: access to API of Google Maps, Central Statistical Office of Poland, MojePanstwo, Eurostat, WHO and other sources.

Complex machine learning models are often hard to interpret. However, in many situations it is crucial to understand and explain why a model made a specific prediction. Shapley values is the only method for such prediction explanation framework with a solid theoretical foundation. Previously known methods for estimating the Shapley values do, however, assume feature independence. This package implements methods which accounts for any feature dependence, and thereby produces more accurate estimates of the true Shapley values. An accompanying Python wrapper ('pyshapr') is available through PyPI.

Forms likelihood-based confidence intervals (LBCIs) for parameters in structural equation modeling, introduced in Cheung and Pesigan (2023) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2023.2183860>. Currently implements the algorithm illustrated by Pek and Wu (2018) <doi:10.1037/met0000163>, and supports the robust LBCI proposed by Falk (2018) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2017.1367254>.

This package provides a scalable and fast method for estimating joint Species Distribution Models (jSDMs) for big community data, including eDNA data. The package estimates a full (i.e. non-latent) jSDM with different response distributions (including the traditional multivariate probit model). The package allows to perform variation partitioning (VP) / ANOVA on the fitted models to separate the contribution of environmental, spatial, and biotic associations. In addition, the total R-squared can be further partitioned per species and site to reveal the internal metacommunity structure, see Leibold et al., <doi:10.1111/oik.08618>. The internal structure can then be regressed against environmental and spatial distinctiveness, richness, and traits to analyze metacommunity assembly processes. The package includes support for accounting for spatial autocorrelation and the option to fit responses using deep neural networks instead of a standard linear predictor. As described in Pichler & Hartig (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13687>, scalability is achieved by using a Monte Carlo approximation of the joint likelihood implemented via PyTorch and reticulate', which can be run on CPUs or GPUs.

This package implements the SoftBart model of described by Linero and Yang (2018) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12293>, with the optional use of a sparsity-inducing prior to allow for variable selection. For usability, the package maintains the same style as the BayesTree package.

Fit latent variable models with the GEV distribution as the data likelihood and the GEV parameters following latent Gaussian processes. The models in this package are built using the template model builder TMB in R, which has the fast ability to integrate out the latent variables using Laplace approximation. This package allows the users to choose in the fit function which GEV parameter(s) is considered as a spatially varying random effect following a Gaussian process, so the users can fit spatial GEV models with different complexities to their dataset without having to write the models in TMB by themselves. This package also offers methods to sample from both fixed and random effects posteriors as well as the posterior predictive distributions at different spatial locations. Methods for fitting this class of models are described in Chen, Ramezan, and Lysy (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2110.07051>.

Last.fm'<https://www.last.fm> is a music platform focussed on building a detailed profile of a users listening habits. It does this by scrobbling (recording) every track you listen to on other platforms ('spotify', youtube', soundcloud etc) and transferring them to your Last.fm database. This allows Last.fm to act as a complete record of your entire listening history. scrobbler provides helper functions to download and analyse your listening history in R.

Maximum likelihood tools to fit and compare models of species abundance distributions and of species rank-abundance distributions.

Algorithms for the implementation and evaluation of Monte Carlo tests, as well as for their use in multiple testing procedures.

Variable and interaction selection are essential to classification in high-dimensional setting. In this package, we provide the implementation of SODA procedure, which is a forward-backward algorithm that selects both main and interaction effects under logistic regression and quadratic discriminant analysis. We also provide an extension, S-SODA, for dealing with the variable selection problem for semi-parametric models with continuous responses.

This package creates superpixels based on input spatial data. This package works on spatial data with one variable (e.g., continuous raster), many variables (e.g., RGB rasters), and spatial patterns (e.g., areas in categorical rasters). It is based on the SLIC algorithm (Achanta et al. (2012) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2012.120>), and readapts it to work with arbitrary dissimilarity measures.

This package implements survival-model-based imputation for censored laboratory measurements, including Tobit-type models with several distribution options. Suitable for data with values below detection or quantification limits, the package identifies the best-fitting distribution and produces realistic imputations that respect the censoring thresholds.

The most important function of the R package is the genetic effects analysis of small RNA in hybrid plants via two methods, and at the same time, it provides various forms of graph related to data characteristics and expression analysis. In terms of two classification methods, one is the calculation of the additive (a) and dominant (d), the other is the evaluation of expression level dominance by comparing the total expression of the small RNA in progeny with the expression level in the parent species.
