Computes the exact joint sparsity and group sparsity projection using the Semi-symmetric Sparse Projection algorithm of J. Shen and S. Damadi, "Sparse projection onto semi-symmetric sets with applications to sparse optimization", Journal of Global Optimization (2026), <doi:10.1007/s10898-026-01592-y>.

This package provides an efficient and very flexible framework to conduct data-driven epidemiological modeling in realistic large scale disease spread simulations. The framework integrates infection dynamics in subpopulations as continuous-time Markov chains using the Gillespie stochastic simulation algorithm and incorporates available data such as births, deaths and movements as scheduled events at predefined time-points. Using C code for the numerical solvers and OpenMP (if available) to divide work over multiple processors ensures high performance when simulating a sample outcome. One of our design goals was to make the package extendable and enable usage of the numerical solvers from other R extension packages in order to facilitate complex epidemiological research. The package contains template models and can be extended with user-defined models. For more details see the paper by Widgren, Bauer, Eriksson and Engblom (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i12>. The package also provides functionality to fit models to time series data using the Approximate Bayesian Computation Sequential Monte Carlo ('ABC-SMC') algorithm of Toni and others (2009) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2008.0172> or the Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo ('PMCMC') algorithm of Andrieu and others (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2009.00736.x>.

This package provides methods for constructing and maintaining a database of presentations in R. The presentations are either ones that the user gives or gave or presentations at a particular event or event series. The package also provides a plot method for the interactive mapping of the presentations using leaflet by grouping them according to country, city, year and other presentation attributes. The markers on the map come with popups providing presentation details (title, institution, event, links to materials and events, and so on).

This package provides a domain-agnostic visualization utility designed to bypass structural rendering limitations within multi-trace three-dimensional animations in Plotly by implementing a decoupled rendering pipeline. Computational processing of time-dependent physical states (markers and nodes) is managed within the R environment, while a custom hardware-accelerated WebGL injection handles the synchronous rendering of complex topological frameworks (lines and edges) directly within the UI browser interface via htmlwidgets'. This dual-layer architecture ensures smooth execution of synchronized multi-component 3D animations without framework degradation or controller loss.

Label, recode, rename, and convert datasets and ASCII files more efficiently. speedycode automates the code necessary for labeling variables with the labelled package, recoding and renaming variables with dplyr syntax, and converting ASCII files with the readroper package. Most functions require only the name of the dataset and the code will be automatically written. Some convenience functions useful for converting ASCII files are also included.

This package implements deterministic classification keys for the World Reference Base for Soil Resources 2022 (4th edition) and the Brazilian System of Soil Classification ('SiBCS', 5th edition). Provides a unified profile representation with explicit per-attribute provenance, multimodal extraction from field reports and photos via vision-language models, spatial priors from SoilGrids and national soil maps, and gap-filling of soil attributes from Vis-NIR or MIR spectra via the Open Soil Spectral Library ('OSSL'). The taxonomic key itself is never delegated to a language model; LLMs are restricted to schema-validated extraction. Each classification result reports a key trace, a provenance-aware evidence grade, and ambiguities that further measurement would resolve.

This package implements a spatially varying change point model with unique intercepts, slopes, variance intercepts and slopes, and change points at each location. Inference is within the Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The response variable can be modeled as Gaussian (no nugget), probit or Tobit link and the five spatially varying parameter are modeled jointly using a multivariate conditional autoregressive (MCAR) prior. The MCAR is a unique process that allows for a dissimilarity metric to dictate the local spatial dependencies. Full details of the package can be found in the accompanying vignette. Furthermore, the details of the package can be found in the corresponding paper published in Spatial Statistics by Berchuck et al (2019): "A spatially varying change points model for monitoring glaucoma progression using visual field data", <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2019.02.001>.

This package implements sparse generalized factor models (sparseGFM) for dimension reduction and variable selection in high-dimensional data with automatic adaptation to weak factor scenarios. The package supports multiple data types (continuous, count, binary) through generalized linear model frameworks and handles missing values automatically. It provides 12 different penalty functions including Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso), adaptive Lasso, Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation (SCAD), Minimax Concave Penalty (MCP), group Lasso, and their adaptive versions for inducing row-wise sparsity in factor loadings. Key features include cross-validation for regularization parameter selection using Sparsity Information Criterion (SIC), automatic determination of the number of factors via multiple information criteria, and specialized algorithms for row-sparse loading structures. The methodology employs alternating minimization with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)-based identifiability constraints and is particularly effective for high-dimensional applications in genomics, economics, and social sciences where interpretable sparse dimension reduction is crucial. For penalty functions, see Tibshirani (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02080.x>, Fan and Li (2001) <doi:10.1198/016214501753382273>, and Zhang (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOS729>.

Survival analysis using a flexible Bayesian model for individual-level right-censored data, optionally combined with aggregate data on counts of survivors in different periods of time. An M-spline is used to describe the hazard function, with a prior on the coefficients that controls over-fitting. Proportional hazards or flexible non-proportional hazards models can be used to relate survival to predictors. Additive hazards (relative survival) models, waning treatment effects, and mixture cure models are also supported. Priors can be customised and calibrated to substantive beliefs. Posterior distributions are estimated using Stan', and outputs are arranged in a tidy format. See Jackson (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12874-023-02094-1>.

This package provides a framework for extracting semantic motifs around entities in textual data. It implements an entity-centered semantic grammar that distinguishes six classes of motifs: actions of an entity, treatments of an entity, agents acting upon an entity, patients acted upon by an entity, characterizations of an entity, and possessions of an entity. Motifs are identified by applying a set of extraction rules to a parsed text object that includes part-of-speech tags and dependency annotations - such as those generated by spacyr'.

Sensitivity to unmeasured biases in an observational study that is a full match. Function senfm() performs tests and function senfmCI() creates confidence intervals. The method uses Huber's M-statistics, including least squares, and is described in Rosenbaum (2007, Biometrics) <DOI:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2006.00717.x>.

This package provides a set of functions to support experimentation in the utility of partially synthetic data sets. All functions compare an observed data set to one or a set of partially synthetic data sets derived from the observed data to (1) check that data sets have identical attributes, (2) calculate overall and specific variable perturbation rates, (3) check for potential logical inconsistencies, and (4) calculate confidence intervals and standard errors of desired variables in multiple imputed data sets. Confidence interval and standard error formulas have options for either synthetic data sets or multiple imputed data sets. For more information on the formulas and methods used, see Reiter & Raghunathan (2007) <doi:10.1198/016214507000000932>.
