Monte Carlo simulation is a stochastic method computing trajectories of photons in media. Surface backscattering is performing calculations in semi-infinite media and summarizing photon flux leaving the surface. This simulation is modeling the optical measurement of diffuse reflectance using an incident light beam. The semi-infinite media is considered to have flat surface. Media, typically biological tissue, is described by four optical parameters: absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, anisotropy factor, refractive index. The media is assumed to be homogeneous. Computational parameters of the simulation include: number of photons, radius of incident light beam, lowest photon energy threshold, intensity profile (halo) radius, spatial resolution of intensity profile. You can find more information and validation in the Open Access paper. Laszlo Baranyai (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.mex.2020.100958>.

It is designed to work with text written in Bahasa Malaysia. We provide functions and data sets that will make working with Bahasa Malaysia text much easier. For word stemming in particular, we will look up the Malay words in a dictionary and then proceed to remove "extra suffix" as explained in Khan, Rehman Ullah, Fitri Suraya Mohamad, Muh Inam UlHaq, Shahren Ahmad Zadi Adruce, Philip Nuli Anding, Sajjad Nawaz Khan, and Abdulrazak Yahya Saleh Al-Hababi (2017) <https://ijrest.net/vol-4-issue-12.html> . This package includes a dictionary of Malay words that may be used to perform word stemming, a dataset of Malay stop words, a dataset of sentiment words and a dataset of normalized words.

Convenient wrapper functions for the analysis of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectra data in order to select only representative spectra (also called cherry-pick). The package covers the preprocessing and dereplication steps (based on Strejcek, Smrhova, Junkova and Uhlik (2018) <doi:10.3389/fmicb.2018.01294>) needed to cluster MALDI-TOF spectra before the final cherry-picking step. It enables the easy exclusion of spectra and/or clusters to accommodate complex cherry-picking strategies. Alternatively, cherry-picking using taxonomic identification MALDI-TOF data is made easy with functions to import inconsistently formatted reports.

An implementation of classifier chains (CC's) for multi-label prediction. Users can employ an external package (e.g. randomForest', C50'), or supply their own. The package can train a single set of CC's or train an ensemble of CC's -- in parallel if running in a multi-core environment. New observations are classified using a Gibbs sampler since each unobserved label is conditioned on the others. The package includes methods for evaluating the predictions for accuracy and aggregating across iterations and models to produce binary or probabilistic classifications.

An implementation of multiple maps t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE). Multiple maps t-SNE is a method for projecting high-dimensional data into several low-dimensional maps such that non-metric space properties are better preserved than they would be by a single map. Multiple maps t-SNE with only one map is equivalent to standard t-SNE. When projecting onto more than one map, multiple maps t-SNE estimates a set of latent weights that allow each point to contribute to one or more maps depending on similarity relationships in the original data. This implementation is a port of the original Matlab library by Laurens van der Maaten. See Van der Maaten and Hinton (2012) <doi:10.1007/s10994-011-5273-4>.

This package performs meaningful subgrouping in a meta-analysis. This is a two-step process; first, use the iterative grouping functions (e.g., mgbin(), mgcont() ) to partition studies into statistically homogeneous clusters based on their effect size data. Second, use the meaning() function to analyze these new subgroups and understand their composition based on study-level characteristics (e.g., country, setting). This approach helps to uncover hidden structures in meta-analytic data and provide a deeper interpretation of heterogeneity.

Generates Raven like matrices according to different rules and the response list associated to the matrix. The package can generate matrices composed of 4 or 9 cells, along with a response list of 11 elements (the correct response + 10 incorrect responses). The matrices can be generated according to both logical rules (i.e., the relationships between the elements in the matrix are manipulated to create the matrix) and visual-spatial rules (i.e., the visual or spatial characteristics of the elements are manipulated to generate the matrix). The graphical elements of this package are based on the DescTools package. This package has been developed within the PRIN2020 Project (Prot. 20209WKCLL) titled "Computerized, Adaptive and Personalized Assessment of Executive Functions and Fluid Intelligence" and founded by the Italian Ministry of Education and Research.
