Built on graph theory and the high-performance data.table framework, this package provides a comprehensive suite of tools for tidying, analyzing, and visualizing animal pedigrees. By modeling pedigrees as directed acyclic graphs using igraph', it ensures robust loop detection, efficient generation assignment, and optimal sub-population splitting. Key features include standardizing pedigree formats, flexible ancestry tracing, and generating legible vector-based PDF graphs. A unique compaction algorithm enables the visualization of massive pedigrees by grouping full-sib families. Furthermore, the package implements high-performance C++ algorithms for calculating and visualizing genetic relationship matrices (A, D, AA, and their inverses) and inbreeding coefficients.

This package provides tools for analyzing the relationship between direct prices (based on labor values) and prices of production using Bayesian generalized linear models, panel data methods, partial least squares regression, canonical correlation analysis, and panel vector autoregression. Includes functions for model comparison, out-of-sample validation, and structural break detection. Here, methods use raw accounting data with explicit temporal structure, following Gomez Julian (2023) <doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/7J8KF> and standard econometric techniques for panel data analysis.

R data pipelines commonly require reading and writing data to versioned directories. Each directory might correspond to one step of a multi-step process, where that version corresponds to particular settings for that step and a chain of previous steps that each have their own versions. This package creates a configuration object that makes it easy to read and write versioned data, based on YAML configuration files loaded and saved to each versioned folder.

Vector autoregressive (VAR) model is a fundamental and effective approach for multivariate time series analysis. Shrinkage estimation methods can be applied to high-dimensional VAR models with dimensionality greater than the number of observations, contrary to the standard ordinary least squares method. This package is an integrative package delivering nonparametric, parametric, and semiparametric methods in a unified and consistent manner, such as the multivariate ridge regression in Golub, Heath, and Wahba (1979) <doi:10.2307/1268518>, a James-Stein type nonparametric shrinkage method in Opgen-Rhein and Strimmer (2007) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-8-S2-S3>, and Bayesian estimation methods using noninformative and informative priors in Lee, Choi, and S.-H. Kim (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2016.03.007> and Ni and Sun (2005) <doi:10.1198/073500104000000622>.

Variance function estimation for models proposed by W. Sadler in his variance function program ('VFP', www.aacb.asn.au/AACB/Resources/Variance-Function-Program). Here, the idea is to fit multiple variance functions to a data set and consequently assess which function reflects the relationship Var ~ Mean best. For in-vitro diagnostic ('IVD') assays modeling this relationship is of great importance when individual test-results are used for defining follow-up treatment of patients.

Mixed type vectors are useful for combining semantically similar classes. Some examples of semantically related classes include time across different granularities (e.g. daily, monthly, annual) and probability distributions (e.g. Normal, Uniform, Poisson). These groups of vector types typically share common statistical operations which vary in results with the attributes of each vector. The vecvec data structure facilitates efficient storage and computation across multiple vectors within the same object.

Method to perform penalized variance component analysis.

Machine learning utilities for fast vectorized model training. Methods are based on standard statistical learning references such as Hastie et al. (2009) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-84858-7>.

This package provides a nonparametric method to estimate Toeplitz covariance matrices from a sample of n independently and identically distributed p-dimensional vectors with mean zero. The data is preprocessed with the discrete cosine matrix and a variance stabilization transformation to obtain an approximate Gaussian regression setting for the log-spectral density function. Estimates of the spectral density function and the inverse of the covariance matrix are provided as well. Functions for simulating data and a protein data example are included. For details see (Klockmann, Krivobokova; 2023), <arXiv:2303.10018>.

The d3.js framework with the plugins d3-voronoi-map, d3-voronoi-treemap and d3-weighted-voronoi are used to generate Voronoi treemaps in R and in a shiny application. The computation of the Voronoi treemaps are based on Nocaj and Brandes (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-8659.2012.03078.x>.

Random generation, density function and parameter estimation for the Voigt distribution. The main objective of this package is to provide R users with efficient estimation of Voigt parameters using classic iid data in a Bayesian framework. The estimating function allows flexible prior specification, specification of fixed parameters and several options for Markov Chain Monte Carlo posterior simulation. A basic version of the algorithm is described in: Cannas M. and Piras, N. (2025) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-96303-2_53>.

This package provides methods for faster extraction (about 5x faster in a few test cases) of variance-covariance matrices and standard errors from models. Methods in the stats package tend to rely on the summary method, which may waste time computing other summary statistics which are summarily ignored.

This is a package for creating and running Agent Based Models (ABM). It provides a set of base classes with core functionality to allow bootstrapped models. For more intensive modeling, the supplied classes can be extended to fit researcher needs.

This package implements functions for varying coefficient meta-analysis methods. These methods do not assume effect size homogeneity. Subgroup effect size comparisons, general linear effect size contrasts, and linear models of effect sizes based on varying coefficient methods can be used to describe effect size heterogeneity. Varying coefficient meta-analysis methods do not require the unrealistic assumptions of the traditional fixed-effect and random-effects meta-analysis methods. For details see: Statistical Methods for Psychologists, Volume 5, <https://dgbonett.sites.ucsc.edu/>.

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.
