Uses simulations from generalized linear mixed-effects models to incorporate random effects across multiple sources and levels of variation, and a dispersion parameter to account for overdispersion and capture unexplained variability. Covers design scenarios for both short-term and long-term trials evaluating the impact of single or combined vector control interventions. Methods build on Kipingu et al. (2025) <doi:10.1186/s12936-025-05454-y> and Johnson et al. (2015) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12306>.

In stability selection (N Meinshausen, P Bühlmann (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2010.00740.x>) and consensus clustering (S Monti et al (2003) <doi:10.1023/A:1023949509487>), resampling techniques are used to enhance the reliability of the results. In this package (B Bodinier et al (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v112.i05>), hyper-parameters are calibrated by maximising model stability, which is measured under the null hypothesis that all selection (or co-membership) probabilities are identical (B Bodinier et al (2023a) <doi:10.1093/jrsssc/qlad058> and B Bodinier et al (2023b) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btad635>). Functions are readily implemented for the use of LASSO regression, sparse PCA, sparse (group) PLS or graphical LASSO in stability selection, and hierarchical clustering, partitioning around medoids, K means or Gaussian mixture models in consensus clustering.

Schneider (2025) <https://isi-iass.org/home/wp-content/uploads/Survey_Statistician_2025_January_N91_06.pdf> describes the three core packages in this collection.

Linear mixed models for complex survey data, by pairwise composite likelihood, as described in Lumley & Huang (2023) <arXiv:2311.13048>. Supports nested and crossed random effects, and correlated random effects as in genetic models. Allows for multistage sampling and for other designs where pairwise sampling probabilities are specified or can be calculated.

Message translation is often managed with po files and the gettext programme, but sometimes another solution is needed. In contrast to po files, a more flexible approach is used as in the Fluent <https://projectfluent.org/> project with R Markdown snippets. The key-value approach allows easier handling of the translated messages.

This package provides tools to simulate multi-omics datasets with predefined signal structures. The generated data can be used for testing, validating, and benchmarking integrative analysis methods such as factor models and clustering approaches.

Designed for both method development and teaching, SUMO supports real and synthetic data pipelines with interpretable outputs. Tini, Giulia, et al (2019) <doi:10.1093/bib/bbx167>.

This package provides methods that use flexible variants of multidimensional scaling (MDS) which incorporate parametric nonlinear distance transformations and trade-off the goodness-of-fit fit with structure considerations to find optimal hyperparameters, also known as structure optimized proximity scaling (STOPS) (Rusch, Mair & Hornik, 2023,<doi:10.1007/s11222-022-10197-w>). The package contains various functions, wrappers, methods and classes for fitting, plotting and displaying different 1-way MDS models with ratio, interval, ordinal optimal scaling in a STOPS framework. These cover essentially the functionality of the package smacofx, including Torgerson (classical) scaling with power transformations of dissimilarities, SMACOF MDS with powers of dissimilarities, Sammon mapping with powers of dissimilarities, elastic scaling with powers of dissimilarities, spherical SMACOF with powers of dissimilarities, (ALSCAL) s-stress MDS with powers of dissimilarities, r-stress MDS, MDS with powers of dissimilarities and configuration distances, elastic scaling powers of dissimilarities and configuration distances, Sammon mapping powers of dissimilarities and configuration distances, power stress MDS (POST-MDS), approximate power stress, Box-Cox MDS, local MDS, Isomap, curvilinear component analysis (CLCA), curvilinear distance analysis (CLDA) and sparsified (power) multidimensional scaling and (power) multidimensional distance analysis (experimental models from smacofx influenced by CLCA). All of these models can also be fit by optimizing over hyperparameters based on goodness-of-fit fit only (i.e., no structure considerations). The package further contains functions for optimization, specifically the adaptive Luus-Jaakola algorithm and a wrapper for Bayesian optimization with treed Gaussian process with jumps to linear models, and functions for various c-structuredness indices. Hyperparameter optimization can be done with a number of techniques but we recommend either Bayesian optimization or particle swarm. For using "Kriging", users need to install a version of the archived DiceOptim R package.

This package provides functions to calculate indices for soundscape ecology and other ecology research that uses audio recordings.

Approximate Bayesian regularization using Gaussian approximations. The input is a vector of estimates and a Gaussian error covariance matrix of the key parameters. Bayesian shrinkage is then applied to obtain parsimonious solutions. The method is described on Karimova, van Erp, Leenders, and Mulder (2025) <DOI:10.1016/j.jmp.2025.102925>. Gibbs samplers are used for model fitting. The shrinkage priors that are supported are Gaussian (ridge) priors, Laplace (lasso) priors (Park and Casella, 2008 <DOI:10.1198/016214508000000337>), and horseshoe priors (Carvalho, et al., 2010; <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>). These priors include an option for grouped regularization of different subsets of parameters (Meier et al., 2008; <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2007.00627.x>). F priors are used for the penalty parameters lambda^2 (Mulder and Pericchi, 2018 <DOI:10.1214/17-BA1092>). This correspond to half-Cauchy priors on lambda (Carvalho, Polson, Scott, 2010 <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>).
