Some functions for performing non-negative matrix factorization, non-negative CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) decomposition, non-negative Tucker decomposition, and generating toy model data. See Andrzej Cichock et al (2009) and the reference section of GitHub README.md <https://github.com/rikenbit/nnTensor>, for details of the methods.

The n-vector framework uses the normal vector to the Earth ellipsoid (called n-vector) as a non-singular position representation that turns out to be very convenient for practical position calculations. The n-vector is simple to use and gives exact answers for all global positions, and all distances, for both ellipsoidal and spherical Earth models. This package is a translation of the Matlab library from FFI, the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, as described in Gade (2010) <doi:10.1017/S0373463309990415>.

Dirichlet process mixture of multivariate normal, skew normal or skew t-distributions modeling oriented towards flow-cytometry data preprocessing applications. Method is detailed in: Hejblum, Alkhassimn, Gottardo, Caron & Thiebaut (2019) <doi: 10.1214/18-AOAS1209>.

Estimate the correlation between two NIfTI images across random parcellations of the images (Fortea et al., under review). This approach overcomes the problems of both voxel-based correlations (neighbor voxels may be spatially dependent) and atlas-based correlations (the correlation may depend on the atlas used).

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a technique to factorize a matrix with nonnegative values into the product of two matrices. Parallel computing is an option to enhance the speed and high-dimensional and large scale (and/or sparse) data are allowed. Relevant papers include: Wang Y. X. and Zhang Y. J. (2012). Nonnegative matrix factorization: A comprehensive review. IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 25(6), 1336-1353 <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2012.51> and Kim H. and Park H. (2008). Nonnegative matrix factorization based on alternating nonnegativity constrained least squares and active set method. SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 30(2), 713-730 <doi:10.1137/07069239X>.

Subsampling methods for big data under different models and assumptions. Starting with linear regression and leading to Generalised Linear Models, softmax regression, and quantile regression. Specifically, the model-robust subsampling method proposed in Mahendran, A., Thompson, H., and McGree, J. M. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00362-023-01446-9>, where multiple models can describe the big data, and the subsampling framework for potentially misspecified Generalised Linear Models in Mahendran, A., Thompson, H., and McGree, J. M. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.05902>.

This package provides tools for traversing and working with National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) data. All methods implemented in nhdplusTools are available in the NHDPlus documentation available from the US Environmental Protection Agency <https://www.epa.gov/waterdata/basic-information>.

Classification, regression, and clustering with k nearest neighbors algorithm. Implements several distance and similarity measures, covering continuous and logical features. Outputs ranked neighbors. Most features of this package are directly based on the PMML specification for KNN.

This package implements the nonparametric trend test for one or several samples as proposed by Bathke (2009) <doi:10.1007/s00184-008-0171-x>. The method provides a unified framework for analyzing trends in both independent and dependent data samples, making it a versatile tool for various study designs. The package allows for the evaluation of different trend alternatives, including two-sided (general trend), monotonic increasing, and monotonic decreasing trends. As a nonparametric procedure, it does not require the assumption of data normality, offering a robust alternative to parametric tests.

With this package, it is possible to compute nonparametric simultaneous confidence intervals for relative contrast effects in the unbalanced one way layout. Moreover, it computes simultaneous p-values. The simultaneous confidence intervals can be computed using multivariate normal distribution, multivariate t-distribution with a Satterthwaite Approximation of the degree of freedom or using multivariate range preserving transformations with Logit or Probit as transformation function. 2 sample comparisons can be performed with the same methods described above. There is no assumption on the underlying distribution function, only that the data have to be at least ordinal numbers. See Konietschke et al. (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v064.i09> for details.

This package provides visual citations containing the metadata of a scientific paper and a QR code. A visual citation is a banner containing title, authors, journal and year of a publication. This package can create such banners based on BibTeX and BibLaTeX references or call the reference metadata from Crossref'-API. The banners include a QR code pointing to the DOI'. The resulting HTML object or PNG image can be included in a presentation to point the audience to good resources for further reading. Styling is possible via predefined designs or via custom CSS'. This package is not intended as replacement for proper reference manager packages, but a tool to enrich scientific presentation slides and conference posters.

Perform non-bipartite matching and matched randomization. A "bipartite" matching utilizes two separate groups, e.g. smokers being matched to nonsmokers or cases being matched to controls. A "non-bipartite" matching creates mates from one big group, e.g. 100 hospitals being randomized for a two-arm cluster randomized trial or 5000 children who have been exposed to various levels of secondhand smoke and are being paired to form a greater exposure vs. lesser exposure comparison. At the core of a non-bipartite matching is a N x N distance matrix for N potential mates. The distance between two units expresses a measure of similarity or quality as mates (the lower the better). The gendistance() and distancematrix() functions assist in creating this. The nonbimatch() function creates the matching that minimizes the total sum of distances between mates; hence, it is referred to as an "optimal" matching. The assign.grp() function aids in performing a matched randomization. Note bipartite matching can be performed using the prevent option in gendistance()'.

Estimate the non-linear odds ratio and plot it against a continuous exposure.

This package provides functions for revealing what happens when effect size estimates from previous studies are taken into account when evaluating each new dataset in a study sequence. The analyses can be conducted for cumulative meta-analyses and for Bayesian data analyses. The package contains sample data for a wide selection of research topics. Jointly considering previous findings along with new data is more likely to result in correct conclusions than does the traditional practice of not incorporating previous findings, which often results in a back and forth ping-pong of conclusions when evaluating a sequence of studies.

Network trees recursively partition the data with respect to covariates. Two network tree algorithms are available: model-based trees based on a multivariate normal model and nonparametric trees based on covariance structures. After partitioning, correlation-based networks (psychometric networks) can be fit on the partitioned data. For details see Jones, Mair, Simon, & Zeileis (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11336-020-09731-4>.

This package provides functions and examples for histogram, kernel (classical, variable bandwidth and transformations based), discrete and semiparametric hazard rate estimators.

This package provides a framework for systematic exploration of association rules (Agrawal et al., 1994, <https://www.vldb.org/conf/1994/P487.PDF>), contrast patterns (Chen, 2022, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.13556>), emerging patterns (Dong et al., 1999, <doi:10.1145/312129.312191>), subgroup discovery (Atzmueller, 2015, <doi:10.1002/widm.1144>), and conditional correlations (Hájek, 1978, <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-66943-9>). User-defined functions may also be supplied to guide custom pattern searches. Supports both crisp (Boolean) and fuzzy data. Generates candidate conditions expressed as elementary conjunctions, evaluates them on a dataset, and inspects the induced sub-data for statistical, logical, or structural properties such as associations, correlations, or contrasts. Includes methods for visualization of logical structures and supports interactive exploration through integrated Shiny applications.
