This package provides functions and data to estimate causal dose response functions given continuous, ordinal, or binary treatments. A description of the methods is given in Galagate (2016) <https://drum.lib.umd.edu/handle/1903/18170>.

Perform state and parameter inference, and forecasting, in stochastic state-space systems using the ctsmTMB class. This class, built with the R6 package, provides a user-friendly interface for defining and handling state-space models. Inference is based on maximum likelihood estimation, with derivatives efficiently computed through automatic differentiation enabled by the TMB'/'RTMB packages (Kristensen et al., 2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i05>. The available inference methods include Kalman filters, in addition to a Laplace approximation-based smoothing method. For further details of these methods refer to the documentation of the CTSMR package <https://ctsm.info/ctsmr-reference.pdf> and Thygesen (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.21358>. Forecasting capabilities include moment predictions and stochastic path simulations, both implemented in C++ using Rcpp (Eddelbuettel et al., 2018) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2017.1375990> for computational efficiency.

Changing the name of an existing R package is annoying but common task especially in the early stages of package development. This package (mostly) automates this task.

An algorithm for identifying candidate driver combinations in cancer. CRSO is based on a theoretical model of cancer in which a cancer rule is defined to be a collection of two or more events (i.e., alterations) that are minimally sufficient to cause cancer. A cancer rule set is a set of cancer rules that collectively are assumed to account for all of ways to cause cancer in the population. In CRSO every event is designated explicitly as a passenger or driver within each patient. Each event is associated with a patient-specific, event-specific passenger penalty, reflecting how unlikely the event would have happened by chance, i.e., as a passenger. CRSO evaluates each rule set by assigning all samples to a rule in the rule set, or to the null rule, and then calculating the total statistical penalty from all unassigned event. CRSO uses a three phase procedure find the best rule set of fixed size K for a range of Ks. A core rule set is then identified from among the best rule sets of size K as the rule set that best balances rule set size and statistical penalty. Users should consult the crso vignette for an example walk through of a full CRSO run. The full description, of the CRSO algorithm is presented in: Klein MI, Cannataro V, Townsend J, Stern DF and Zhao H. "Identifying combinations of cancer driver in individual patients." BioRxiv 674234 [Preprint]. June 19, 2019. <doi:10.1101/674234>. Please cite this article if you use crso'.

This package provides functions for testing if the covariance structure of 2-dimensional data (e.g. samples of surfaces X_i = X_i(s,t)) is separable, i.e. if covariance(X) = C_1 x C_2. A complete descriptions of the implemented tests can be found in the paper Aston, John A. D.; Pigoli, Davide; Tavakoli, Shahin. Tests for separability in nonparametric covariance operators of random surfaces. Ann. Statist. 45 (2017), no. 4, 1431--1461. <doi:10.1214/16-AOS1495> <https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.aos/1498636862> <arXiv:1505.02023>.

Given a collection of intervals with integer start and end positions, find recurrently targeted regions and estimate the significance of finding. Randomization is implemented by parallel methods, either using local host machines, or submitting grid engine jobs.

This package provides the basic functionality to interact with the Collatz conjecture. The parameterisation uses the same (P,a,b) notation as Conway's generalisations. Besides the function and reverse function, there is also functionality to retrieve the hailstone sequence, the "stopping time"/"total stopping time", or tree-graph. The only restriction placed on parameters is that both P and a can't be 0. For further reading, see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture>.

Joint distribution of number of crossings and the longest run in a series of independent Bernoulli trials. The computations uses an iterative procedure where computations are based on results from shorter series. The procedure conditions on the start value and partitions by further conditioning on the position of the first crossing (or none).

This package provides functions to analyze coarse data. Specifically, it contains functions to (1) fit parametric accelerated failure time models to interval-censored survival time data, and (2) estimate the case-fatality ratio in scenarios with under-reporting. This package's development was motivated by applications to infectious disease: in particular, problems with estimating the incubation period and the case fatality ratio of a given disease. Sample data files are included in the package. See Reich et al. (2009) <doi:10.1002/sim.3659>, Reich et al. (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01709.x>, and Lessler et al.

This package provides functions to assess complex heterogeneity in the strength of a surrogate marker with respect to multiple baseline covariates, in either a randomized treatment setting or observational setting. For a randomized treatment setting, the functions assess and test for heterogeneity using both a parametric model and a semiparametric two-step model. More details for the randomized setting are available in: Knowlton, R., Tian, L., & Parast, L. (2025). "A General Framework to Assess Complex Heterogeneity in the Strength of a Surrogate Marker," Statistics in Medicine, 44(5), e70001 <doi:10.1002/sim.70001>. For an observational setting, functions in this package assess complex heterogeneity in the strength of a surrogate marker using meta-learners, with options for different base learners. More details for the observational setting will be available in the future in: Knowlton, R., Parast, L. (2025) "Assessing Surrogate Heterogeneity in Real World Data Using Meta-Learners." A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://www.laylaparast.com/cohetsurr>.

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) methods that aim at pronouncing the clustered appearance of the configuration (Rusch, Mair & Hornik, 2021, <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1869027>). They achieve this by transforming proximities/distances with explicit power functions and penalizing the fitting criterion with a clusteredness index, the OPTICS Cordillera (Rusch, Hornik & Mair, 2018, <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1349664>). There are two variants: One for finding the configuration directly (COPS-C) with given explicit power transformations and implicit ratio, interval and non-metric optimal scaling transformations (Borg & Groenen, 2005, ISBN:978-0-387-28981-6), and one for using the augmented fitting criterion to find optimal hyperparameters for the explicit transformations (P-COPS). The package contains various functions, wrappers, methods and classes for fitting, plotting and displaying a large number of different MDS models (most of the functionality in smacofx) in the COPS framework. The package further contains a function for pattern search optimization, the ``Adaptive Luus-Jaakola Algorithm (Rusch, Mair & Hornik, 2021,<doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1869027>) and a functions to calculate the phi-distances for count data or histograms.

The biases introduced in association measures, particularly mutual information, are influenced by factors such as tumor purity, mutation burden, and hypermethylation. This package provides the estimation of conditional mutual information (CMI) and its statistical significance with a focus on its application to multi-omics data. Utilizing B-spline functions (inspired by Daub et al. (2004) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-5-118>), the package offers tools to estimate the association between heterogeneous multi- omics data, while removing the effects of confounding factors. This helps to unravel complex biological interactions. In addition, it includes methods to evaluate the statistical significance of these associations, providing a robust framework for multi-omics data integration and analysis. This package is ideal for researchers in computational biology, bioinformatics, and systems biology seeking a comprehensive tool for understanding interdependencies in omics data.

When taking online surveys, participants sometimes respond to items without regard to their content. These types of responses, referred to as careless or insufficient effort responding, constitute significant problems for data quality, leading to distortions in data analysis and hypothesis testing, such as spurious correlations. The R package careless provides solutions designed to detect such careless / insufficient effort responses by allowing easy calculation of indices proposed in the literature. It currently supports the calculation of longstring, even-odd consistency, psychometric synonyms/antonyms, Mahalanobis distance, and intra-individual response variability (also termed inter-item standard deviation). For a review of these methods, see Curran (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jesp.2015.07.006>.

This package provides a Bayesian approach to using predictive probability in an ANOVA construct with a continuous normal response, when threshold values must be obtained for the question of interest to be evaluated as successful (Sieck and Christensen (2021) <doi:10.1002/qre.2802>). The Bayesian Mission Mean (BMM) is used to evaluate a question of interest (that is, a mean that randomly selects combination of factor levels based on their probability of occurring instead of averaging over the factor levels, as in the grand mean). Under this construct, in contrast to a Gibbs sampler (or Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler), a two-stage sampling method is required. The nested sampler determines the conditional posterior distribution of the model parameters, given Y, and the outside sampler determines the marginal posterior distribution of Y (also commonly called the predictive distribution for Y). This approach provides a sample from the joint posterior distribution of Y and the model parameters, while also accounting for the threshold value that must be obtained in order for the question of interest to be evaluated as successful.

This package implements convex regression with interpretable sharp partitions (CRISP), which considers the problem of predicting an outcome variable on the basis of two covariates, using an interpretable yet non-additive model. CRISP partitions the covariate space into blocks in a data-adaptive way, and fits a mean model within each block. Unlike other partitioning methods, CRISP is fit using a non-greedy approach by solving a convex optimization problem, resulting in low-variance fits. More details are provided in Petersen, A., Simon, N., and Witten, D. (2016). Convex Regression with Interpretable Sharp Partitions.
