relies on empirical EWAS datasets to determine power at specific sample sizes while keeping computational cost low. EpipwR
can be run with a variety of standard statistical tests, controlling for either a false discovery rate or a family-wise type I error rate.
This package provides a toolbox to make it easy to analyze plant disease epidemics. It provides a common framework for plant disease intensity data recorded over time and/or space. Implemented statistical methods are currently mainly focused on spatial pattern analysis (e.g., aggregation indices, Taylor and binary power laws, distribution fitting, SADIE and mapcomp methods). See Laurence V. Madden, Gareth Hughes, Franck van den Bosch (2007) <doi:10.1094/9780890545058> for further information on these methods. Several data sets that were mainly published in plant disease epidemiology literature are also included in this package.
Functions, data sets and shiny apps for "Epidemics: Models and Data in R" by Ottar N. Bjornstad (ISBN 978-3-319-97487-3) <https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319974866>. The package contains functions to study the S(E)IR model, spatial and age-structured SIR models; time-series SIR and chain-binomial stochastic models; catalytic disease models; coupled map lattice models of spatial transmission and network models for social spread of infection. The package is also an advanced quantitative companion to the coursera Epidemics Massive Online Open Course <https://www.coursera.org/learn/epidemics>.
EpiMix
is a comprehensive tool for the integrative analysis of high-throughput DNA methylation data and gene expression data. EpiMix
enables automated data downloading (from TCGA or GEO), preprocessing, methylation modeling, interactive visualization and functional annotation.To identify hypo- or hypermethylated CpG
sites across physiological or pathological conditions, EpiMix
uses a beta mixture modeling to identify the methylation states of each CpG
probe and compares the methylation of the experimental group to the control group.The output from EpiMix
is the functional DNA methylation that is predictive of gene expression. EpiMix
incorporates specialized algorithms to identify functional DNA methylation at various genetic elements, including proximal cis-regulatory elements of protein-coding genes, distal enhancers, and genes encoding microRNAs
and lncRNAs
.
Allows for forward-in-time simulation of epistatic networks with associated phenotypic output.
This package provides a collection of small functions useful for epidemics analysis and infectious disease modelling. This includes computation of basic reproduction numbers from growth rates, generation of hashed labels to anonymize data, and fitting discretized Gamma distributions.
EpiTxDb
facilitates the storage of epitranscriptomic information. More specifically, it can keep track of modification identity, position, the enzyme for introducing it on the RNA, a specifier which determines the position on the RNA to be modified and the literature references each modification is associated with.
The epilogi variable selection algorithm is implemented for the case of continuous response and predictor variables.

The Economic Policy Institute (<https://www.epi.org/>) provides researchers, media, and the public with easily accessible, up-to-date, and comprehensive historical data on the American labor force. It is compiled from Economic Policy Institute analysis of government data sources. Use it to research wages, inequality, and other economic indicators over time and among demographic groups. Data is usually updated monthly.
The EpiSimR
package provides an interactive shiny app based on deterministic compartmental mathematical modeling for simulating and visualizing the dynamics of epidemic and endemic disease spread. It allows users to explore various intervention strategies, including vaccination and isolation, by adjusting key epidemiological parameters.

Estimates the time-varying reproduction number, rate of spread, and doubling time using a range of open-source tools (Abbott et al. (2020) <doi:10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16006.1>), and current best practices (Gostic et al. (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.06.18.20134858>). It aims to help users avoid some of the limitations of naive implementations in a framework that is informed by community feedback and is actively supported.
EpiDISH
is a R package to infer the proportions of a priori known cell-types present in a sample representing a mixture of such cell-types. Right now, the package can be used on DNAm data of whole blood, generic epithelial tissue and breast tissue. Besides, the package provides a function that allows the identification of differentially methylated cell-types and their directionality of change in Epigenome-Wide Association Studies.
This package provides functions to test for gene x gene interactions in a bi-parental population of inbred lines. The data are fitted with the mixed linear model described in Rio et al. (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.12.18.520958>, that accounts for gene x gene interactions at both the fixed effect and variance levels. The package also provides graphical tools to display the gene x gene interaction trend at the mean level and the variance component analysis.
This package provides connections to the epiviz web app (http://epiviz.cbcb.umd.edu) for interactive visualization of genomic data. Objects in R/bioc interactive sessions can be displayed in genome browser tracks or plots to be explored by navigation through genomic regions. Fundamental Bioconductor data structures are supported (e.g., GenomicRanges
and RangedSummarizedExperiment
objects), while providing an easy mechanism to support other data structures (through package epivizrData
). Visualizations (using d3.js) can be easily added to the web app as well.
