Generalized Egger tests for detecting publication bias in meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy test (Noma (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13343>, Noma (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.07270>). These publication bias tests are generally more powerful compared with the conventional univariate publication bias tests and can incorporate correlation information between the outcome variables.

The aim of the package is two-fold: (i) To implement the MMD method for attribution of individuals to sources using the Hamming distance between multilocus genotypes. (ii) To select informative genetic markers based on information theory concepts (entropy, mutual information and redundancy). The package implements the functions introduced by Perez-Reche, F. J., Rotariu, O., Lopes, B. S., Forbes, K. J. and Strachan, N. J. C. Mining whole genome sequence data to efficiently attribute individuals to source populations.

Estimates Variable Length Markov Chains (VLMC) models and VLMC with covariates models from discrete sequences. Supports model selection via information criteria and simulation of new sequences from an estimated model. See Bühlmann, P. and Wyner, A. J. (1999) <doi:10.1214/aos/1018031204> for VLMC and Zanin Zambom, A., Kim, S. and Lopes Garcia, N. (2022) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12615> for VLMC with covariates.

N>=3 methods are used to measure each of n items. The data are used to estimate simultaneously systematic error (bias) and random error (imprecision). Observed measurements for each method or device are assumed to be linear functions of the unknown true values and the errors are assumed normally distributed. Pairwise calibration curves and plots can be easily generated. Unlike the ncb.od function, the omx function builds a one-factor measurement error model using OpenMx and allows missing values, uses full information maximum likelihood to estimate parameters, and provides both likelihood-based and bootstrapped confidence intervals for all parameters, in addition to Wald-type intervals.

This package provides tools that extend the functionality of the RODBC package to work with Microsoft SQL Server databases. Makes it easier to browse the database and examine individual tables and views.

Lightweight maps of mammals of the world. These maps are a comprehensive collection of maps aligned with the Mammal Diversity Database taxonomy of the American Society of Mammalogists. They are generated at low resolution for easy access, consultation and manipulation in shapefile format. The package connects to a binary backup hosted in the Digital Ocean cloud service and allows individual or batch download of any mammal species in the mdd taxonomy by providing the scientific species name.

The routine twosample_test() in this package runs the two-sample test using various test statistic for multivariate data. The user can also run several tests and then find a p value adjusted for simultaneous inference. The p values are found via permutation or via the parametric bootstrap. The routine twosample_power() allows the estimation of the power of the tests. The routine run.studies() allows a user to quickly study the power of a new method and how it compares to those included in the package. For details of the methods and references see the included vignettes.

Simulate Mediterranean forest functioning and dynamics using cohort-based description of vegetation [De Caceres et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2015.06.012>; De Caceres et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2020.108233>].

Incorporates a Bayesian monotonic single-index mixed-effect model with a multivariate skew-t likelihood, specifically designed to handle survey weights adjustments. Features include a simulation program and an associated Gibbs sampler for model estimation. The single-index function is constrained to be monotonic increasing, utilizing a customized Gaussian process prior for precise estimation. The model assumes random effects follow a canonical skew-t distribution, while residuals are represented by a multivariate Student-t distribution. Offers robust Bayesian adjustments to integrate survey weight information effectively.
