Sharing statistical methods or simulation frameworks through shiny applications often requires workflows for handling data. To help save and display simulation results, the postgresUI() and postgresServer() functions in mmints help with persistent data storage using a PostgreSQL database. The mmints package also offers data upload functionality through the csvUploadUI() and csvUploadServer() functions which allow users to upload data, view variables and their types, and edit variable types before fitting statistical models within the shiny application. These tools aim to enhance efficiency and user interaction in shiny based statistical and simulation applications.

This package provides a Shiny application for converting Excel'-based Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data into SimaPro CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format for use in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modeling.

Novel method to unbiasedly include studies with Non-statistically Significant Unreported Effects (NSUEs) in a meta-analysis. First, the function calculates the interval where the unreported effects (e.g., t-values) should be according to the threshold of statistical significance used in each study. Afterward, the method uses maximum likelihood techniques to impute the expected effect size of each study with NSUEs, accounting for between-study heterogeneity and potential covariates. Multiple imputations of the NSUEs are then randomly created based on the expected value, variance, and statistical significance bounds. Finally, it conducts a restricted-maximum likelihood random-effects meta-analysis separately for each set of imputations, and it performs estimations from these meta-analyses. Please read the reference in metansue for details of the procedure.

This package provides a procedure for comparing multivariate samples associated with different groups. It uses principal component analysis to convert multivariate observations into a set of linearly uncorrelated statistical measures, which are then compared using a number of statistical methods. The procedure is independent of the distributional properties of samples and automatically selects features that best explain their differences, avoiding manual selection of specific points or summary statistics. It is appropriate for comparing samples of time series, images, spectrometric measures or similar multivariate observations. This package is described in Fachada et al. (2016) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2016-055>.

This package provides a function for plotting multivariate time series data.

This algorithm provides a numerical solution to the problem of unconstrained local minimization (or maximization). It is particularly suited for complex problems and more efficient than the Gauss-Newton-like algorithm when starting from points very far from the final minimum (or maximum). Each iteration is parallelized and convergence relies on a stringent stopping criterion based on the first and second derivatives. See Philipps et al, 2021 <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-089>.

Estimates models that extend the standard GLM to take misclassification into account. The models require side information from a secondary data set on the misclassification process, i.e. some sort of misclassification probabilities conditional on some common covariates. A detailed description of the algorithm can be found in Dlugosz, Mammen and Wilke (2015) <https://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp15043.pdf>.

Analyses the stability and structural behaviour of export and import patterns across multiple countries using a Markov chain modelling framework. Constructs transition probability matrices to quantify changes in trade shares between successive periods, thereby capturing persistence, structural shifts, and inter-country interdependence in trade performance. By iteratively generating expected trade distributions over time, the approach facilitates assessment of stability, long-run equilibrium tendencies, and comparative dynamics in longitudinal trade data, providing a rigorous tool for empirical analysis of exportâ import behaviour. Methodological foundations follow standard Markov chain theory as described in Gagniuc (2017) <Doi:10.1002/9781119387596>.

This package performs Monte Carlo hypothesis tests, allowing a couple of different sequential stopping boundaries. For example, a truncated sequential probability ratio test boundary (Fay, Kim and Hachey, 2007 <DOI:10.1198/106186007X257025>) and a boundary proposed by Besag and Clifford, 1991 <DOI:10.1093/biomet/78.2.301>. Gives valid p-values and confidence intervals on p-values.

An implementation of the expectation conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm for matrix-variate variance gamma (MVVG) and normal-inverse Gaussian (MVNIG) linear models. These models are designed for settings of multivariate analysis with clustered non-uniform observations and correlated responses. The package includes fitting and prediction functions for both models, and an example dataset from a periodontal on Gullah-speaking African Americans, with responses in gaad_res', and covariates in gaad_cov'. For more details on the matrix-variate distributions used, see Gallaugher & McNicholas (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2018.08.012>.

Alternative implementation of the beautiful MissForest algorithm used to impute mixed-type data sets by chaining random forests, introduced by Stekhoven, D.J. and Buehlmann, P. (2012) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btr597>. Under the hood, it uses the lightning fast random forest package ranger'. Between the iterative model fitting, we offer the option of using predictive mean matching. This firstly avoids imputation with values not already present in the original data (like a value 0.3334 in 0-1 coded variable). Secondly, predictive mean matching tries to raise the variance in the resulting conditional distributions to a realistic level. This would allow, e.g., to do multiple imputation when repeating the call to missRanger(). Out-of-sample application is supported as well.

This package provides functions to perform all steps of genome-wide association meta-analysis for studying Genotype x Environment interactions, from collecting the data to the manhattan plot. The procedure accounts for the potential correlation between studies. In addition to the Fixed and Random models, one can investigate the relationship between QTL effects and some qualitative or quantitative covariate via the test of contrast and the meta-regression, respectively. The methodology is available from: (De Walsche, A., et al. (2025) \doi10.1371/journal.pgen.1011553).
