Dynamic interaction refers to spatial-temporal associations in the movements of two (or more) animals. This package provides tools for calculating a suite of indices used for quantifying dynamic interaction with wildlife telemetry data. For more information on each of the methods employed see the references within. The package (as of version >= 0.3) also has new tools for automating contact analysis in large tracking datasets. The package (as of version 1.0) uses the move2 class of objects for working with tracking dataset.

Shinohara (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.nicl.2014.08.008> introduced WhiteStripe', an intensity-based normalization of T1 and T2 images, where normal appearing white matter performs well, but requires segmentation. This method performs white matter mean and standard deviation estimates on data that has been rigidly-registered to the MNI template and uses histogram-based methods.

Wrap-around Time Series (WATS) plots for interrupted time series designs with seasonal patterns. Longitudinal trajectories are shown in both Cartesian and polar coordinates. In many scenarios, a WATS plot more clearly shows the existence and effect size of of an intervention. This package accompanies "Graphical Data Analysis on the Circle: Wrap-Around Time Series Plots for (Interrupted) Time Series Designs" by Rodgers, Beasley, & Schuelke (2014) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2014.946589>; see citation("Wats") for details.

Weather indices represent the overall weekly effect of a weather variable on crop yield throughout the cropping season. This package contains functions that can convert the weekly weather data into yearly weighted Weather indices with weights being the correlation coefficient between weekly weather data over the years and crop yield over the years. This can be done for an individual weather variable and for two weather variables at a time as the interaction effect. This method was first devised by Jain, RC, Agrawal R, and Jha, MP (1980), "Effect of climatic variables on rice yield and its forecast",MAUSAM, 31(4), 591â 596, <doi:10.54302/mausam.v31i4.3477>. Later, the method have been used by various researchers and the latest can found in Gupta, AK, Sarkar, KA, Dhakre, DS, & Bhattacharya, D (2022), "Weather Based Potato Yield Modelling using Statistical and Machine Learning Technique",Environment and Ecology, 40(3B), 1444â 1449,<https://www.environmentandecology.com/volume-40-2022>.

Computes exact observation weights for the Kalman filter and smoother, following Koopman and Harvey (2003) <www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165188902000611>. The package provides tools for analyzing linear Gaussian state-space models, allowing users to quantify the contribution of individual observations to filtered and smoothed state estimates. These weights can be used for interpretation, decomposition, and diagnostic analysis in time series models, including applications such as dynamic factor models. See the README for examples.

This package implements a permutation test method for the weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, building off the gWQS package (Renzetti et al. <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=gWQS>). Weighted quantile sum regression is a statistical technique to evaluate the effect of complex exposure mixtures on an outcome (Carrico et al. 2015 <doi:10.1007/s13253-014-0180-3>). The model features a statistical power and Type I error (i.e., false positive) rate trade-off, as there is a machine learning step to determine the weights that optimize the linear model fit. This package provides an alternative method based on a permutation test that should reliably allow for both high power and low false positive rate when utilizing WQS regression (Day et al. 2022 <doi:10.1289/EHP10570>).

Estimates the Vevea and Hedges (1995) weight-function model. By specifying arguments, users can also estimate the modified model described in Vevea and Woods (2005), which may be more practical with small datasets. Users can also specify moderators to estimate a linear model. The package functionality allows users to easily extract the results of these analyses as R objects for other uses. In addition, the package includes a function to launch both models as a Shiny application. Although the Shiny application is also available online, this function allows users to launch it locally if they choose.

Inferences about counterfactuals are essential for prediction, answering what if questions, and estimating causal effects. However, when the counterfactuals posed are too far from the data at hand, conclusions drawn from well-specified statistical analyses become based largely on speculation hidden in convenient modeling assumptions that few would be willing to defend. Unfortunately, standard statistical approaches assume the veracity of the model rather than revealing the degree of model-dependence, which makes this problem hard to detect. WhatIf offers easy-to-apply methods to evaluate counterfactuals that do not require sensitivity testing over specified classes of models. If an analysis fails the tests offered here, then we know that substantive inferences will be sensitive to at least some modeling choices that are not based on empirical evidence, no matter what method of inference one chooses to use. WhatIf implements the methods for evaluating counterfactuals discussed in Gary King and Langche Zeng, 2006, "The Dangers of Extreme Counterfactuals," Political Analysis 14 (2) <DOI:10.1093/pan/mpj004>; and Gary King and Langche Zeng, 2007, "When Can History Be Our Guide? The Pitfalls of Counterfactual Inference," International Studies Quarterly 51 (March) <DOI:10.1111/j.1468-2478.2007.00445.x>.

Analyzing pedigree data of wild populations. While primarily designed to process outputs from the COLONY (Jones & Wang (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1755-0998.2009.02787.x>) pedigree reconstruction software, it can also accommodate data from other sources. By linking reconstructed pedigrees with genetic sample metadata, wpeR produces spatial and temporal visualizations as well as tabular summaries that support interpretation of family structures and dynamics. The main goal of the package is to provide a solution for the analysis of complex wild pedigree data and to help the user to gain insights into genetic relationships within wild animal populations.

This package implements a functional approximation of the four panel cointegration tests developed by Westerlund (2007) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0084.2007.00477.x>. The tests are based on structural rather than residual dynamics and allow for heterogeneity in both the long-run cointegrating relationship and the short-run dynamics. The package includes logic for automated lag and lead selection via AIC/BIC, Bartlett kernel long-run variance estimation, and a bootstrap procedure to handle cross-sectional dependence. It also includes a bootstrapping distribution visualization function for diagnostic purposes.

World Flora Online is an online flora of all known plants, available from <https://www.worldfloraonline.org/>. Methods are provided of matching a list of plant names (scientific names, taxonomic names, botanical names) against a static copy of the World Flora Online Taxonomic Backbone data that can be downloaded from the World Flora Online website. The World Flora Online Taxonomic Backbone is an updated version of The Plant List (<http://www.theplantlist.org/>), a working list of plant names that has become static since 2013.

In the course of a genome-wide association study, the situation often arises that some phenotypes are known with greater precision than others. It could be that some individuals are known to harbor more micro-environmental variance than others. In the case of inbred strains of model organisms, it could be the case that more organisms were observed from some strains than others, so the strains with more organisms have better-estimated means. Package wISAM handles this situation by allowing for weighting of each observation according to residual variance. Specifically, the weight parameter to the function conduct_scan() takes the precision of each observation (one over the variance).

Computes Bayesian wavelet shrinkage credible intervals for nonparametric regression. The method uses cumulants to derive Bayesian credible intervals for wavelet regression estimates. The first four cumulants of the posterior distribution of the estimates are expressed in terms of the observed data and integer powers of the mother wavelet functions. These powers are closely approximated by linear combinations of wavelet scaling functions at an appropriate finer scale. Hence, a suitable modification of the discrete wavelet transform allows the posterior cumulants to be found efficiently for any data set. Johnson transformations then yield the credible intervals themselves. Barber, S., Nason, G.P. and Silverman, B.W. (2002) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00332>.
