This package contains functions for a variational Bayesian method for sparse PCA proposed by Ning (2020) <arXiv:2102.00305>. There are two algorithms: the PX-CAVI algorithm (if assuming the loadings matrix is jointly row-sparse) and the batch PX-CAVI algorithm (if without this assumption). The outputs of the main function, VBsparsePCA(), include the mean and covariance of the loadings matrix, the score functions, the variable selection results, and the estimated variance of the random noise.

This package provides statistical methods for analytical method comparison and validation studies. Implements Bland-Altman analysis for assessing agreement between measurement methods (Bland & Altman (1986) <doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(86)90837-8>), Passing-Bablok regression for non-parametric method comparison (Passing & Bablok (1983) <doi:10.1515/cclm.1983.21.11.709>), and Deming regression accounting for measurement error in both variables (Linnet (1993) <doi:10.1093/clinchem/39.3.424>). Also includes tools for setting quality goals based on biological variation (Fraser & Petersen (1993) <doi:10.1093/clinchem/39.7.1447>) and calculating Six Sigma metrics, precision experiments with variance component analysis, precision profiles for functional sensitivity estimation (Kroll & Emancipator (1993) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8448849/>). Commonly used in clinical laboratory method validation. Provides publication-ready plots and comprehensive statistical summaries.

Create adjacency matrices of vocalisation graphs from dataframes containing sequences of speech and silence intervals, transforming these matrices into Markov diagrams, and generating datasets for classification of these diagrams by flattening them and adding global properties (functionals) etc. Vocalisation diagrams date back to early work in psychiatry (Jaffe and Feldstein, 1970) and social psychology (Dabbs and Ruback, 1987) but have only recently been employed as a data representation method for machine learning tasks including meeting segmentation (Luz, 2012) <doi:10.1145/2328967.2328970> and classification (Luz, 2013) <doi:10.1145/2522848.2533788>.

Applying Monte Carlo permutation to generate pointwise variogram envelope and checking for spatial dependence at different scales using permutation test. Empirical Brown's method and Fisher's method are used to compute overall p-value for hypothesis test.

This package performs clustering of quantitative variables, assuming that clusters lie in low-dimensional subspaces. Segmentation of variables, number of clusters and their dimensions are selected based on BIC. Candidate models are identified based on many runs of K-means algorithm with different random initializations of cluster centers.

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.

This package provides additional data sets, methods and documentation to complement the vcd package for Visualizing Categorical Data and the gnm package for Generalized Nonlinear Models. In particular, vcdExtra extends mosaic, assoc and sieve plots from vcd to handle glm() and gnm() models and adds a 3D version in mosaic3d'. Additionally, methods are provided for comparing and visualizing lists of glm and loglm objects. This package is now a support package for the book, "Discrete Data Analysis with R" by Michael Friendly and David Meyer.

An implementation of methods related to sparse clustering and variable importance in clustering. The package currently allows to perform sparse k-means clustering with a group penalty, so that it automatically selects groups of numerical features. It also allows to perform sparse clustering and variable selection on mixed data (categorical and numerical features), by preprocessing each categorical feature as a group of numerical features. Several methods for visualizing and exploring the results are also provided. M. Chavent, J. Lacaille, A. Mourer and M. Olteanu (2020)<https://www.esann.org/sites/default/files/proceedings/2020/ES2020-103.pdf>.

The "Vertical and Horizontal Inheritance Consistence Analysis" method is described in the following publication: "VHICA: a new method to discriminate between vertical and horizontal transposon transfer: application to the mariner family within Drosophila" by G. Wallau. et al. (2016) <DOI:10.1093/molbev/msv341>. The purpose of the method is to detect horizontal transfers of transposable elements, by contrasting the divergence of transposable element sequences with that of regular genes.

This package provides an R interface for volesti C++ package. volesti computes estimations of volume of polytopes given by (i) a set of points, (ii) linear inequalities or (iii) Minkowski sum of segments (a.k.a. zonotopes). There are three algorithms for volume estimation as well as algorithms for sampling, rounding and rotating polytopes. Moreover, volesti provides algorithms for estimating copulas useful in computational finance. Methods implemented in volesti are described in A. Chalkis and V. Fisikopoulos (2022) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-077> and references therein.

This package provides functions to run statistical analyses on surface-based neuroimaging data, computing measures including cortical thickness and surface area of the whole-brain and of the hippocampi. It can make use of FreeSurfer', fMRIprep', XCP-D', HCP and CAT12 preprocessed datasets and HippUnfold hippocampal segmentation outputs for a given sample by restructuring the data values into a single file. The single file can then be used by the package for analyses independently from its base dataset and without need for its access.

An algorithm for nonlinear global optimization based on the variable neighbourhood trust region search (VNTRS) algorithm proposed by Bierlaire et al. (2009) "A Heuristic for Nonlinear Global Optimization" <doi:10.1287/ijoc.1090.0343>. The algorithm combines variable neighbourhood exploration with a trust-region framework to efficiently search the solution space. It can terminate a local search early if the iterates are converging toward a previously visited local optimum or if further improvement within the current region is unlikely. In addition to global optimization, the algorithm can also be applied to identify multiple local optima.

This package provides a graphical R package designed to visualize behavioral observations over time. Based on raw time data extracted from video recorded sessions of experimental observations, ViSiElse grants a global overview of a process by combining the visualization of multiple actions timestamps for all participants in a single graph. Individuals and/or group behavior can easily be assessed. Supplementary features allow users to further inspect their data by adding summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, quantile or statistical test) and/or time constraints to assess the accuracy of the realized actions.
