Predicts individual race/ethnicity using surname, first name, middle name, geolocation, and other attributes, such as gender and age. The method utilizes Bayes Rule (with optional measurement error correction) to compute the posterior probability of each racial category for any given individual. The package implements methods described in Imai and Khanna (2016) "Improving Ecological Inference by Predicting Individual Ethnicity from Voter Registration Records" Political Analysis <DOI:10.1093/pan/mpw001> and Imai, Olivella, and Rosenman (2022) "Addressing census data problems in race imputation via fully Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding and name supplements" <DOI:10.1126/sciadv.adc9824>. The package also incorporates the data described in Rosenman, Olivella, and Imai (2023) "Race and ethnicity data for first, middle, and surnames" <DOI:10.1038/s41597-023-02202-2>.

This package provides statistical methods and visualizations that are often used in reliability engineering. Comprises a compact and easily accessible set of methods and visualization tools that make the examination and adjustment as well as the analysis and interpretation of field data (and bench tests) as simple as possible. Non-parametric estimators like Median Ranks, Kaplan-Meier (Abernethy, 2006, <ISBN:978-0-9653062-3-2>), Johnson (Johnson, 1964, <ISBN:978-0444403223>), and Nelson-Aalen for failure probability estimation within samples that contain failures as well as censored data are included. The package supports methods like Maximum Likelihood and Rank Regression, (Genschel and Meeker, 2010, <DOI:10.1080/08982112.2010.503447>) for the estimation of multiple parametric lifetime distributions, as well as the computation of confidence intervals of quantiles and probabilities using the delta method related to Fisher's confidence intervals (Meeker and Escobar, 1998, <ISBN:9780471673279>) and the beta-binomial confidence bounds. If desired, mixture model analysis can be done with segmented regression and the EM algorithm. Besides the well-known Weibull analysis, the package also contains Monte Carlo methods for the correction and completion of imprecisely recorded or unknown lifetime characteristics. (Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA), 2016, <ISSN:0943-9412>). Plots are created statically ('ggplot2') or interactively ('plotly') and can be customized with functions of the respective visualization package. The graphical technique of probability plotting as well as the addition of regression lines and confidence bounds to existing plots are supported.

This package provides tools for simulating the biophysical effects of vessel-strikes on whales. The aim is to support the evaluation of marine policies limiting ship speeds through regions in which whales reside. This is important because ship strikes are a major source of lethality for several whale species, including the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. In this analysis, whales are modelled with a four-layer system comprising skin, blubber, sub-layer (muscle or organ) and bone. Reasonable values for the material properties of these layers, along with other factors such as whale surface area and mass, are provided for a variety of whale species. Similarly, key values are provided for several ship types. The collision is modelled according to Newtonian dynamics, with stresses and strains within the whale layers being simulated over time. The simulation results are analyzed in the context of whale-strike data, to develop a Lethality Index for the whale in the modelled collision. For the underlying science, see Kelley and other "Assessing the Lethality of Ship Strikes on Whales Using Simple Biophysical Models." (2021) <doi:10.1111/mms.12745>. For more on the R code, see Kelley "`whalestrike`: An R package for simulating ship strikes on whales" (2024) <doi:10.21105/joss.06473>.

This package provides a wrapper around Michel Scheffers's libassp (<https://libassp.sourceforge.net/>). The libassp (Advanced Speech Signal Processor) library aims at providing functionality for handling speech signal files in most common audio formats and for performing analyses common in phonetic science/speech science. This includes the calculation of formants, fundamental frequency, root mean square, auto correlation, a variety of spectral analyses, zero crossing rate, filtering etc. This wrapper provides R with a large subset of libassp's signal processing functions and provides them to the user in a (hopefully) user-friendly manner.

This package implements an automated binning of numeric variables and factors with respect to a dichotomous target variable. Two approaches are provided: An implementation of fine and coarse classing that merges granular classes and levels step by step. And a tree-like approach that iteratively segments the initial bins via binary splits. Both procedures merge, respectively split, bins based on similar weight of evidence (WOE) values and stop via an information value (IV) based criteria. The package can be used with single variables or an entire data frame. It provides flexible tools for exploring different binning solutions and for deploying them to (new) data.

Book is "Linear Mixed Models: A Practical Guide Using Statistical Software" published in 2006 by Chapman Hall / CRC Press.

Estimates the standard and weighted Elo (WElo, Angelini et al., 2022 <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2021.04.011>) rates. The current version provides Elo and WElo rates for tennis, according to different systems of weights (games or sets) and scale factors (constant, proportional to the number of matches, with more weight on Grand Slam matches or matches played on a specific surface). Moreover, the package gives the possibility of estimating the (bootstrap) standard errors for the rates. Finally, the package includes betting functions that automatically select the matches on which place a bet.

The Model Disability Survey (MDS) <https://www.who.int/activities/collection-of-data-on-disability> is a World Health Organization (WHO) general population survey instrument to assess the distribution of disability within a country or region, grounded in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health <https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/international-classification-of-functioning-disability-and-health>. This package provides fit-for-purpose functions for calculating and presenting the results from this survey, as used by the WHO. The package primarily provides functions for implementing Rasch Analysis (see Andrich (2011) <doi:10.1586/erp.11.59>) to calculate a metric scale for disability.

This package provides tools for a wavelet-based approach to analyzing spatial synchrony, principally in ecological data. Some tools will be useful for studying community synchrony. See, for instance, Sheppard et al (2016) <doi: 10.1038/NCLIMATE2991>, Sheppard et al (2017) <doi: 10.1051/epjnbp/2017000>, Sheppard et al (2019) <doi: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006744>.

Opinionated functions that enable easier and faster analysis of Viva Insights data. There are three main types of functions in wpa': (i) Standard functions create a ggplot visual or a summary table based on a specific Viva Insights metric; (2) Report Generation functions generate HTML reports on a specific analysis area, e.g. Collaboration; (3) Other miscellaneous functions cover more specific applications (e.g. Subject Line text mining) of Viva Insights data. This package adheres to tidyverse principles and works well with the pipe syntax. wpa is built with the beginner-to-intermediate R users in mind, and is optimised for simplicity.

This package provides a collection of tools to fit and work with trophic Species Distribution Models. Trophic Species Distribution Models combine knowledge of trophic interactions with Bayesian structural equation models that model each species as a function of its prey (or predators) and environmental conditions. It exploits the topological ordering of the known trophic interaction network to predict species distribution in space and/or time, where the prey (or predator) distribution is unavailable. The method implemented by the package is described in Poggiato, Andréoletti, Pollock and Thuiller (2022) <doi:10.22541/au.166853394.45823739/v1>.
