This package provides tools to estimate the impact of vaccination campaigns at population level (number of events averted, number of avertable events, number needed to vaccinate). Inspired by the methodology proposed by Foppa et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.vaccine.2015.02.042> and Machado et al. (2019) <doi:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2019.24.45.1900268> for influenza vaccination impact.

This package provides users with a simple and convenient mechanism to manage and query a Virtuoso database using the DBI (Data-Base Interface) compatible ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) interface. Virtuoso is a high-performance "universal server," which can act as both a relational database, supporting standard Structured Query Language ('SQL') queries, while also supporting data following the Resource Description Framework ('RDF') model for Linked Data. RDF data can be queried using SPARQL ('SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) queries, a graph-based query that supports semantic reasoning. This allows users to leverage the performance of local or remote Virtuoso servers using popular R packages such as DBI and dplyr', while also providing a high-performance solution for working with large RDF triplestores from R. The package also provides helper routines to install, launch, and manage a Virtuoso server locally on Mac', Windows and Linux platforms using the standard interactive installers from the R command-line. By automatically handling these setup steps, the package can make using Virtuoso considerably faster and easier for a most users to deploy in a local environment. Managing the bulk import of triples from common serializations with a single intuitive command is another key feature of this package. Bulk import performance can be tens to hundreds of times faster than the comparable imports using existing R tools, including rdflib and redland packages.

Import and handling data from vegetation-plot databases, especially data stored in Turboveg 2 (<https://www.synbiosys.alterra.nl/turboveg/>). Also import/export routines for exchange of data with Juice (<https://www.sci.muni.cz/botany/juice/>) are implemented.

This package provides a comprehensive suite of static and interactive visual diagnostics for assessing the quality of multiply-imputed data obtained from packages such as mixgb and mice'. The package supports inspection of distributional characteristics, diagnostics based on masking observed values and comparing them with re-imputed values, and convergence diagnostics.

This package provides a set of functions providing several visualization tools for exploring the behavior of the components in a network meta-analysis of multi-component (complex) interventions: - components descriptive analysis - heat plot of the two-by-two component combinations - leaving one component combination out scatter plot - violin plot for specific component combinations effects - density plot for components effects - waterfall plot for the interventions effects that differ by a certain component combination - network graph of components - rank heat plot of components for multiple outcomes. The implemented tools are described by Seitidis et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1617>.

Counting election votes and determining election results by different methods, including the single transferable vote or ranked choice, approval, score, plurality, condorcet and two-round runoff methods (Raftery et al., 2021 <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-086>).

Vector binary tree provides a new data structure, to make your data visiting and management more efficient. If the data has structured column names, it can read these names and factorize them through specific split pattern, then build the mappings within double list, vector binary tree, array and tensor mutually, through which the batched data processing is achievable easily. The methods of array and tensor are also applicable. Detailed methods are described in Chen Zhang et al. (2020) <doi:10.35566/isdsa2019c8>.

EQ-5D is a standard instrument (<https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/>) that measures the quality of life often used in clinical and economic evaluations of health care technologies. Both adult versions of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) contain a descriptive system and visual analog scale. The descriptive system measures the patient's health in 5 dimensions: the 5L versions has 5 levels and 3L version has 3 levels. The descriptive system scores are usually converted to index values using country specific values sets (that incorporates the country preferences). This package allows the calculation of both descriptive system scores to the index value scores. The value sets for EQ-5D-3L are from the references mentioned in the website <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-3l-about/valuation/> The value sets for EQ-5D-3L for a total of 31 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The value sets for EQ-5D-5L are obtained from references mentioned in the <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-5l-about/valuation-standard-value-sets/> and other sources. The value sets for EQ-5D-5L for a total of 17 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The package can also be used to map 5L scores to 3L index values for 10 countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe. The value set and method for mapping are obtained from Van Hout et al (2012) <doi: 10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008>.

This package provides a Shiny application for the interactive visualisation and analysis of networks that also provides a web interface for collecting social media data using vosonSML'.

This package provides methods for fitting semi-parametric mean and variance models, with normal or censored data. Extended to allow a regression in the location, scale and shape parameters, and further for multiple regression in each.

This is a sparklyr extension integrating VariantSpark and R. VariantSpark is a framework based on scala and spark to analyze genome datasets, see <https://bioinformatics.csiro.au/>. It was tested on datasets with 3000 samples each one containing 80 million features in either unsupervised clustering approaches and supervised applications, like classification and regression. The genome datasets are usually writing in VCF, a specific text file format used in bioinformatics for storing gene sequence variations. So, VariantSpark is a great tool for genome research, because it is able to read VCF files, run analyses and return the output in a spark data frame.

Non-Domestic VAERS vaccine data for 01/01/2016 - 06/14/2016. If you want to explore the full VAERS data for 1990 - Present (data, symptoms, and vaccines), then check out the vaersND package from the URL below. The URL and BugReports below correspond to the vaersND package, of which vaersNDvax is a small subset (2016 only). vaersND is not hosted on CRAN due to the large size of the data set. To install the Suggested vaers and vaersND packages, use the following R code: devtools::install_git("https://gitlab.com/iembry/vaers.git", build_vignettes = TRUE) and devtools::install_git("https://gitlab.com/iembry/vaersND.git", build_vignettes = TRUE)'. "VAERS is a national vaccine safety surveillance program co-sponsored by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS is a post-marketing safety surveillance program, collecting information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of vaccines licensed for use in the United States."

The qda() function from package MASS is extended to calculate a weighted linear (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) by changing the group variances and group means based on cell-wise uncertainties. The uncertainties can be derived e.g. through relative errors for each individual measurement (cell), not only row-wise or column-wise uncertainties. The method can be applied compositional data (e.g. portions of substances, concentrations) and non-compositional data.

By creating crowd-sourcing tasks that can be easily posted and results retrieved using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) API, researchers can use this solution to validate the quality of topics obtained from unsupervised or semi-supervised learning methods, and the relevance of topic labels assigned. This helps ensure that the topic modeling results are accurate and useful for research purposes. See Ying and others (2022) <doi:10.1101/2023.05.02.538599>.
