This package provides a set of visual input controls for Shiny apps to facilitate filtering across multiple outputs.

Computes the random forest variable importance (VIMP) for the conditional inference random forest (cforest) of the party package. Includes a function (varImp) that computes the VIMP for arbitrary measures from the measures package. For calculating the VIMP regarding the measures accuracy and AUC two extra functions exist (varImpACC and varImpAUC).

Estimates hierarchical models using variational inference. At present, it can estimate logistic, linear, and negative binomial models. It can accommodate models with an arbitrary number of random effects and requires no integration to estimate. It also provides the ability to improve the quality of the approximation using marginal augmentation. Goplerud (2022) <doi:10.1214/21-BA1266> and Goplerud (2024) <doi:10.1017/S0003055423000035> provide details on the variational algorithms.

Constructs a virtual population from fertility and mortality rates for any country, calendar year and birth cohort in the Human Mortality Database <https://www.mortality.org> and the Human Fertility Database <https://www.humanfertility.org>. Fertility histories are simulated for every individual and their offspring, producing a multi-generation virtual population.

Predicate helper functions for testing atomic vectors in R. All functions take a single argument x and check whether it's of the target type of base-R atomic vector (i.e. no class extensions nor attributes other than names'), returning TRUE or FALSE. Some additionally check for value (e.g. absence of missing values, infinities, blank characters, or names attribute; or having length 1).

Add publication-quality custom legends with vertical brackets. Designed for displaying statistical comparisons between groups, commonly used in scientific publications for showing significance levels. Features include adaptive positioning, automatic bracket spacing for overlapping comparisons, font family inheritance, and support for asterisks, p-values, or custom labels. Compatible with ggplot2 graphics.

Abstract descriptions of (yet) unobserved variables.

This package contains logic for cell-specific gene set scoring of single cell RNA sequencing data.

This package provides an interface to a HashiCorp vault server over its http API (typically these are self-hosted; see <https://www.vaultproject.io>). This allows for secure storage and retrieval of secrets over a network, such as tokens, passwords and certificates. Authentication with vault is supported through several backends including user name/password and authentication via GitHub'.

This package contains functions for visualization univariate data: ccdplot and qddplot.

The base class VirtualArray is defined, which acts as a wrapper around lists allowing users to fold arbitrary sequential data into n-dimensional, R-style virtual arrays. The derived XArray class is defined to be used for homogeneous lists that contain a single class of objects. The RasterArray and SfArray classes enable the use of stacked spatial data instead of lists.

Describe in words the genealogical relationship between two members of a given pedigree, using the algorithm in Vigeland (2022) <doi:10.1186/s12859-022-04759-y>. verbalisr is part of the pedsuite collection of packages for pedigree analysis. For a demonstration of verbalisr', see the online app QuickPed at <https://magnusdv.shinyapps.io/quickped>.

Fits linear varying coefficient (VC) models, which assert a linear relationship between an outcome and several covariates but allow that relationship (i.e., the coefficients or slopes in the linear regression) to change as functions of additional variables known as effect modifiers, by approximating the coefficient functions with Bayesian Additive Regression Trees. Implements a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler to simulate draws from the posterior over coefficient function evaluations. VC models with independent observations or repeated observations can be fit. For more details see Deshpande et al. (2026) <doi:10.1214/24-BA1470>.

Under a different representation of the multivariate normal (MVN) probability, we can use the Vecchia approximation to sample the integrand at a linear complexity with respect to n. Additionally, both the SOV algorithm from Genz (92) and the exponential-tilting method from Botev (2017) can be adapted to linear complexity. The reference for the method implemented in this package is Jian Cao and Matthias Katzfuss (2024) "Linear-Cost Vecchia Approximation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2311.09426>. Two major references for the development of our method are Alan Genz (1992) "Numerical Computation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" <doi:10.1080/10618600.1992.10477010> and Z. I. Botev (2017) "The Normal Law Under Linear Restrictions: Simulation and Estimation via Minimax Tilting" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1603.04166>.

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>.

Variable Penalty Dynamic Time Warping (VPdtw) for aligning chromatographic signals. With an appropriate penalty this method performs good alignment of chromatographic data without deforming the peaks (Clifford, D., Stone, G., Montoliu, I., Rezzi S., Martin F., Guy P., Bruce S., and Kochhar S.(2009) <doi:10.1021/ac802041e>; Clifford, D. and Stone, G. (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v047.i08>).

Earth system dynamics, such as plant dynamics, water bodies, and fire regimes, are widely monitored using spectral indicators obtained from multispectral remote sensing products. There is a great need for spectral index catalogues and computing tools as a result of the quick rise of suggested spectral indices. Unfortunately, the majority of these resources lack a standard Application Programming Interface, are out-of-date, closed-source, or are not linked to a catalogue. We now introduce VegSpecIndex', a standardised list of spectral indices for studies of the earth system. A thorough inventory of spectral indices is offered by VegSpecIndex and is connected to an R library. For every spectral index, VegSpecIndex provides a comprehensive collection of information, such as names, formulae, and source references. The user community may add more items to the catalogue, which will keep VegSpecIndex up to date and allow for further scientific uses. Additionally, the R library makes it possible to apply the catalogue to actual data, which makes it easier to employ remote sensing resources effectively across a variety of Earth system domains.

Extendable R6 file comparison classes, including a shiny app for combining the comparison functionality into a file comparison application. The package idea originates from pharma companies drug development processes, where statisticians and statistical programmers need to review and compare different versions of the same outputs and datasets. The package implementation itself is not tied to any specific industry and can be used in any context for easy file comparisons between different file version sets.

Applies affine and similarity transformations on vector spatial data (sp objects). Transformations can be defined from control points or directly from parameters. If redundant control points are provided Least Squares is applied allowing to obtain residuals and RMSE.
