This package implements methods for inference on potential waning of vaccine efficacy and for estimation of vaccine efficacy at a user-specified time after vaccination based on data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled vaccine trial in which participants may be unblinded and placebo subjects may be crossed over to the study vaccine. The methods also for variant stratification and allow adjustment for possible confounding via inverse probability weighting through specification of models for the trial entry process, unblinding mechanisms, and the probability an unblinded placebo participant accepts study vaccine.

Error variance estimation in ultrahigh dimensional datasets with four different methods, viz. Refitted cross validation, k-fold refitted cross validation, Bootstrap-refitted cross validation, Ensemble method.

Fits linear varying coefficient (VC) models, which assert a linear relationship between an outcome and several covariates but allow that relationship (i.e., the coefficients or slopes in the linear regression) to change as functions of additional variables known as effect modifiers, by approximating the coefficient functions with Bayesian Additive Regression Trees. Implements a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler to simulate draws from the posterior over coefficient function evaluations. VC models with independent observations or repeated observations can be fit. For more details see Deshpande et al. (2024) <doi:10.1214/24-BA1470>.

Estimate vaccine efficacy (VE) using immunogenicity data. The inclusion of immunogenicity data in regression models can increase precision in VE. The methods are described in the publications "Elucidating vaccine efficacy using a correlate of protection, demographics, and logistic regression" and "Improving precision of vaccine efficacy evaluation using immune correlate data in time-to-event models" by Julie Dudasova, Zdenek Valenta, and Jeffrey R. Sachs (2024).

Variable Penalty Dynamic Time Warping (VPdtw) for aligning chromatographic signals. With an appropriate penalty this method performs good alignment of chromatographic data without deforming the peaks (Clifford, D., Stone, G., Montoliu, I., Rezzi S., Martin F., Guy P., Bruce S., and Kochhar S.(2009) <doi:10.1021/ac802041e>; Clifford, D. and Stone, G.

This package implements a set of routines to perform structured matrix factorization with minimum volume constraints. The NMF procedure decomposes a matrix X into a product C * D. Given conditions such that the matrix C is non-negative and has sufficiently spread columns, then volume minimization of a matrix D delivers a correct and unique, up to a scale and permutation, solution (C, D). This package provides both an implementation of volume-regularized NMF and "anchor-free" NMF, whereby the standard NMF problem is reformulated in the covariance domain. This algorithm was applied in Vladimir B. Seplyarskiy Ruslan A. Soldatov, et al. "Population sequencing data reveal a compendium of mutational processes in the human germ line". Science, 12 Aug 2021. <doi:10.1126/science.aba7408>. This package interacts with data available through the simulatedNMF package, which is available in a drat repository. To access this data package, see the instructions at <https://github.com/kharchenkolab/vrnmf>. The size of the simulatedNMF package is approximately 8 MB.

The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model is a macroscale hydrologic model that solves full water and energy balances, originally developed by Xu Liang at the University of Washington (UW). The version of VIC source code used is of 5.0.1 on <https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/>, see Hamman et al. (2018). Development and maintenance of the current official version of the VIC model at present is led by the UW Hydro (Computational Hydrology group) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UW. VIC is a research model and in its various forms it has been applied to most of the major river basins around the world, as well as globally <http://vic.readthedocs.io/en/master/Documentation/References/>.
