This package implements proper and so-called Maximum Likelihood Multiple Imputation as described by von Hippel and Bartlett (2021) <doi:10.1214/20-STS793>. A number of different imputation methods are available, by utilising the norm', cat and mix packages. Inferences can be performed either using Rubin's rules (for proper imputation), or a modified version for maximum likelihood imputation. For maximum likelihood imputations a likelihood score based approach based on theory by Wang and Robins (1998) <doi:10.1093/biomet/85.4.935> is also available.

The meta-analysis is performed to increase the statistical power by integrating the results from several experiments. The p-values are often combined in meta-analysis when the effect sizes are not available. The metapro R package provides not only traditional methods (Becker BJ (1994, ISBN:0-87154-226-9), Mosteller, F. & Bush, R.R. (1954, ISBN:0201048523) and Lancaster HO (1949, ISSN:00063444)), but also new method named weighted Fisherâ s method we developed. While the (weighted) Z-method is suitable for finding features effective in most experiments, (weighted) Fisherâ s method is useful for detecting partially associated features. Thus, the users can choose the function based on their purpose. Yoon et al. (2021) "Powerful p-value combination methods to detect incomplete association" <doi:10.1038/s41598-021-86465-y>.

We develop Multi-source Graph Synthesis (MUGS), an algorithm designed to create embeddings for pediatric Electronic Health Record (EHR) codes by leveraging graphical information from three distinct sources: (1) pediatric EHR data, (2) EHR data from the general patient population, and (3) existing hierarchical medical ontology knowledge shared across different patient populations. See Li et al. (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41746-024-01320-4> for details.

The inference in multi-state models is traditionally performed under a Markov assumption that claims that past and future of the process are independent given the present state. In this package, we consider tests of the Markov assumption that are applicable to general multi-state models. Three approaches using existing methodology are considered: a simple method based on including covariates depending on the history in Cox models for the transition intensities; methods based on measuring the discrepancy of the non-Markov estimators of the transition probabilities to the Markov Aalen-Johansen estimators; and, finally, methods that were developed by considering summaries from families of log-rank statistics where patients are grouped by the state occupied of the process at a particular time point (see Soutinho G, Meira-Machado L (2021) <doi:10.1007/s00180-021-01139-7> and Titman AC, Putter H (2020) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxaa030>).

Two pipelines are provided to study microbial turnover along a gradient, including the beta diversity and microbial abundance change. The betaturn class consists of the steps of community dissimilarity matrix generation, matrix conversion, differential test and visualization. The workflow of taxaturn class includes the taxonomic abundance calculation, abundance transformation, abundance change summary, statistical analysis and visualization. Multiple statistical approaches can contribute to the analysis of microbial turnover.

An implementation of the mixed neighbourhood selection (MNS) algorithm. The MNS algorithm can be used to estimate multiple related precision matrices. In particular, the motivation behind this work was driven by the need to understand functional connectivity networks across multiple subjects. This package also contains an implementation of a novel algorithm through which to simulate multiple related precision matrices which exhibit properties frequently reported in neuroimaging analysis.

Identifying comorbidities, frailty, and multimorbidity in claims and administrative data is often a duplicative process. The functions contained in this package are meant to first prepare the data to a format acceptable by all other packages, then provide a uniform and simple approach to generate comorbidity and multimorbidity metrics based on these claims data. The package is ever evolving to include new metrics, and is always looking for new measures to include.

The user must supply a matrix filled with similarity values. The software will search for significant differences between similarity values at different hierarchical levels. The algorithm will return a Loess-smoothed plot of the similarity values along with the inflection point, if there are any. There is the option to search for an inflection point within a specified range. The package also has a function that will return the matrix components at a specified cutoff.

Energy-Vorticity theory (EVT) is the fundamental theory to describe processes in the atmosphere by combining conserved quantities from hydrodynamics and thermodynamics. The package meteoEVT provides functions to calculate many energetic and vortical quantities, like potential vorticity, Bernoulli function and dynamic state index (DSI) [e.g. Weber and Nevir, 2008, <doi:10.1111/j.1600-0870.2007.00272.x>], for given gridded data, like ERA5 reanalyses. These quantities can be studied directly or can be used for many applications in meteorology, e.g., the objective identification of atmospheric fronts. For this purpose, separate function are provided that allow the detection of fronts based on the thermic front parameter [Hewson, 1998, <doi:10.1017/S1350482798000553>], the F diagnostic [Parfitt et al., 2017, <doi:10.1002/2017GL073662>] and the DSI [Mack et al., 2022, <arXiv:2208.11438>].

Allows for fitting of maximum likelihood models using Markov chains on phylogenetic trees for analysis of discrete character data. Examples of such discrete character data include restriction sites, gene family presence/absence, intron presence/absence, and gene family size data. Hypothesis-driven user- specified substitution rate matrices can be estimated. Allows for biologically realistic models combining constrained substitution rate matrices, site rate variation, site partitioning, branch-specific rates, allowing for non-stationary prior root probabilities, correcting for sampling bias, etc. See Dang and Golding (2016) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv541> for more details.

Overcomes one of the major challenges in mobile (passive) sensing, namely being able to pre-process the raw data that comes from a mobile sensing app, specifically m-Path Sense <https://m-path.io>. The main task of mpathsenser is therefore to read m-Path Sense JSON files into a database and provide several convenience functions to aid in data processing.

Transfer learning, as a prevailing technique in computer sciences, aims to improve the performance of a target model by leveraging auxiliary information from heterogeneous source data. We provide novel tools for multi-source transfer learning under statistical models based on model averaging strategies, including linear regression models, partially linear models. Unlike existing transfer learning approaches, this method integrates the auxiliary information through data-driven weight assignments to avoid negative transfer. This is the first package for transfer learning based on the optimal model averaging frameworks, providing efficient implementations for practitioners in multi-source data modeling. The details are described in Hu and Zhang (2023) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v24/23-0030.html>.

Estimate genetic linkage maps for markers on a single chromosome (or in a single linkage group) from pairwise recombination fractions or intermarker distances using weighted metric multidimensional scaling. The methods are suitable for autotetraploid as well as diploid populations. Options for assessing the fit to a known map are also provided. Methods are discussed in detail in Preedy and Hackett (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00122-016-2761-8>.

Estimation and comparison of the performances of diagnostic tests in multi-reader multi-case studies where true case statuses (or ground truths) are known and one or more readers provide test ratings for multiple cases. Reader performance metrics are provided for area under and expected utility of ROC curves, likelihood ratio of positive or negative tests, and sensitivity and specificity. ROC curves can be estimated empirically or with binormal or binormal likelihood-ratio models. Statistical comparisons of diagnostic tests are based on the ANOVA model of Obuchowski-Rockette and the unified framework of Hillis (2005) <doi:10.1002/sim.2024>. The ANOVA can be conducted with data from a full factorial, nested, or partially paired study design; with random or fixed readers or cases; and covariances estimated with the DeLong method, jackknifing, or an unbiased method.
