Aggregates matrix population models (MPMs) in both the lambda (stable growth rate) and R0 (net reproductive rate) frameworks, including standard and elasticity-consistent aggregators. Standard aggregation in the lambda framework maintains consistent lambda and stable stage distribution, while standard aggregation in the R0 framework maintains consistent R0 and cohort stable stage distribution. Elasticity-consistent aggregators maintain these same consistencies with respect to the chosen framework and additionally preserve consistent reproductive values in the lambda framework and cohort reproductive values in the R0 framework. Aggregation can take the form of general-to-general MPM (mpm_aggregate) or Leslie-to-Leslie MPM (leslie_aggregate).

Biodiversity areas, especially primary forest, serve a multitude of functions for local economy, regional functionality of the ecosystems as well as the global health of our planet. Recently, adverse changes in human land use practices and climatic responses to increased greenhouse gas emissions, put these biodiversity areas under a variety of different threats. The present package helps to analyse a number of biodiversity indicators based on freely available geographical datasets. It supports computational efficient routines that allow the analysis of potentially global biodiversity portfolios. The primary use case of the package is to support evidence based reporting of an organization's effort to protect biodiversity areas under threat and to identify regions were intervention is most duly needed.

This package performs treatment allocation in two-arm clinical trials by the maximal procedure described by Berger et al. (2003) <doi:10.1002/sim.1538>. To that end, the algorithm provided by Salama et al. (2008) <doi:10.1002/sim.3014> is implemented.

Classify missing data as missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR), or missing not at random (MNAR). This step is required before handling missing data (e.g. mean imputation) so that bias is not introduced. See Little (1988) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478722> for the statistical rationale for the methods used.

Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for true QTL.

The main functions perform mixed models analysis by least squares or REML by adding the function r() to formulas of lm() and glm(). A collection of text-book statistics for higher education is also included, e.g. modifications of the functions lm(), glm() and associated summaries from the package stats'.

Statistical framework for comparing sets of trees using hypothesis testing methods. Designed for transmission trees, phylogenetic trees, and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), the package implements chi-squared tests to compare edge frequencies between sets and PERMANOVA to analyse topological dissimilarities with customisable distance metrics, following Anderson (2001) <doi:10.1111/j.1442-9993.2001.01070.pp.x>.

Access the Red List of Montane Tree Species of the Tropical Andes Tejedor Garavito et al.(2014, ISBN:978-1-905164-60-8).

This package performs variable selection in high-dimensional sparse GLARMA models. For further details we refer the reader to the paper Gomtsyan et al. (2022), <arXiv:2208.14721>.

This package implements Multivariate Quantile-on-Quantile Regression (m-QQR) of Sinha, Ghosh, Hussain, Nguyen and Das (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.eneco.2023.107021>, extending the bivariate Quantile-on-Quantile regression of Sim and Zhou (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jbankfin.2015.01.013> to include exogenous moderators and controls with optional interaction terms. For each pair of quantile levels (theta of the response and tau of the regressor) the package fits a locally-weighted quantile regression of y on the principal regressor x, a lagged dependent variable, moderators Z and the x*Z interaction terms, using Gaussian kernel weights on the empirical cumulative distribution function (CDF) distance. Bootstrap standard errors and Koenker-Machado pseudo R-squared are reported. Visualisations include MATLAB'-style Parula and Jet 3D surfaces, heatmaps and contour plots through plotly'.

Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MT) system is a collection of multivariate analysis methods developed for the field of quality engineering. MT system consists of two families depending on their purpose. One is a family of Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MT) methods (in the broad sense) for diagnosis (see Woodall, W. H., Koudelik, R., Tsui, K. L., Kim, S. B., Stoumbos, Z. G., and Carvounis, C. P. (2003) <doi:10.1198/004017002188618626>) and the other is a family of Taguchi (T) methods for forecasting (see Kawada, H., and Nagata, Y. (2015) <doi:10.17929/tqs.1.12>). The MT package contains three basic methods for the family of MT methods and one basic method for the family of T methods. The MT method (in the narrow sense), the Mahalanobis-Taguchi Adjoint (MTA) methods, and the Recognition-Taguchi (RT) method are for the MT method and the two-sided Taguchi (T1) method is for the family of T methods. In addition, the Ta and Tb methods, which are the improved versions of the T1 method, are included.

Facilitate frequentist and Bayesian meta-analysis of diagnosis and prognosis research studies. It includes functions to summarize multiple estimates of prediction model discrimination and calibration performance (Debray et al., 2019) <doi:10.1177/0962280218785504>. It also includes functions to evaluate funnel plot asymmetry (Debray et al., 2018) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1266>. Finally, the package provides functions for developing multivariable prediction models from datasets with clustering (de Jong et al., 2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.8981>.

The model.matrix() function in R is convenient for transforming training dataset for modeling. But it does not save any parameter used in transformation, so it is hard to apply the same transformation to test dataset or new dataset. This package is created to solve the problem.

This package provides a causal mediation framework for single-cell data that incorporates two key features ('MedZIsc', pronounced Magics): (1) zero-inflation using beta regression and (2) overdispersed expression counts using negative binomial regression. This approach also includes a screening step based on penalized and marginal models to handle high-dimensionality. Full methodological details are available in our recent preprint by Ahn S and Li Z (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.22986>.

We implement functions allowing for mediation analysis to be performed in cases where the mediator is a count variable with excess zeroes. First a function is provided allowing users to perform analysis for zero-inflated count variables using the marginalized zero-inflated Poisson (MZIP) model (Long et al. 2014 <DOI:10.1002/sim.6293>). Using the counterfactual approach to mediation and MZIP we can obtain natural direct and indirect effects for the overall population. Using delta method processes variance estimation can be performed instantaneously. Alternatively, bootstrap standard errors can be used. We also provide functions for cases with exposure-mediator interactions with four-way decomposition of total effect.

This package provides a complete and dedicated analytical toolbox for quality control and diagnosis based on subject-related measurements of micro-RNA (miRNA) expressions. The package consists of a set of functions that allow to train, optimize and use a Bayesian classifier that relies on multiplets of measured miRNA expressions. The package also implements the quality control tools required to preprocess input datasets. In addition, the package provides a function to carry out a statistical analysis of miRNA expressions, which can give insights to improve the classifier's performance. The method implemented in the package was first introduced in L. Ricci, V. Del Vescovo, C. Cantaloni, M. Grasso, M. Barbareschi and M. A. Denti, "Statistical analysis of a Bayesian classifier based on the expression of miRNAs", BMC Bioinformatics 16:287, 2015 <doi:10.1186/s12859-015-0715-9>. The package is thoroughly described in M. Castelluzzo, A. Perinelli, S. Detassis, M. A. Denti and L. Ricci, "MiRNA-QC-and-Diagnosis: An R package for diagnosis based on MiRNA expression", SoftwareX 12:100569, 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2020.100569>.

With the deprecation of mocking capabilities shipped with testthat as of edition 3 it is left to third-party packages to replace this functionality, which in some test-scenarios is essential in order to run unit tests in limited environments (such as no Internet connection). Mocking in this setting means temporarily substituting a function with a stub that acts in some sense like the original function (for example by serving a HTTP response that has been cached as a file). The only exported function with_mock() is modeled after the eponymous testthat function with the intention of providing a drop-in replacement.

This package provides a lavaan'-like syntax for OpenMx models. The syntax supports definition variables, bounds, and parameter transformations. This allows for latent growth curve models with person-specific measurement occasions, moderated nonlinear factor analysis and much more.

Inference focuses on identifiable cross-strata differences, as described by Riebler and Held (2010) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxp037>. Methods for handling complex survey data via the survey package are included, as described in Mercer et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2013.12.001>.

Function and support for medication and dosing information extraction from free-text clinical notes. Medication entities for the basic medExtractR implementation that can be extracted include drug name, strength, dose amount, dose, frequency, intake time, dose change, and time of last dose. The basic medExtractR is outlined in Weeks, Beck, McNeer, Williams, Bejan, Denny, Choi (2020) <doi: 10.1093/jamia/ocz207>. The extended medExtractR_tapering implementation is intended to extract dosing information for more tapering schedules, which are far more complex. The tapering extension allows for the extraction of additional entities including dispense amount, refills, dose schedule, time keyword, transition, and preposition.

We introduce factor models designed to jointly analyze high-dimensional count data from multiple studies by extracting study-shared and specified factors. Our factor models account for heterogeneous noises and overdispersion among counts with augmented covariates. We propose an efficient and speedy variational estimation procedure for estimating model parameters, along with a novel criterion for selecting the optimal number of factors and the rank of regression coefficient matrix. More details can be referred to Liu et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.15071>.
