Takes objects of class edsurvey.data.frame and converts them to a data.frame within the calling environment of dplyr and ggplot2 functions. Additionally, for plotting with ggplot2', users can map aesthetics to subject scales and all plausible values will be used. This package supports student level data; to work with school or teacher level data, see ?EdSurvey::getData'.
This package implements a decomposition of the two-way fixed effects instrumental variable estimator into all possible Wald difference-in-differences estimators. Provides functions to summarize the contribution of different cohort comparisons to the overall two-way fixed effects instrumental variable estimate, with or without controls. The method is described in Miyaji (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2405.16467>.
We utilize the Bradley-Terry Model to estimate the abilities of teams using paired comparison data. For dynamic approximation of current rankings, we employ the Exponential Decayed Log-likelihood function, and we also apply the Lasso penalty for variance reduction and grouping. The main algorithm applies the Augmented Lagrangian Method described by Masarotto and Varin (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-AOAS581>.
Computes Chernoff's distribution based on the method in Piet Groeneboom & Jon A Wellner (2001) Computing Chernoff's Distribution, Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 10:2, 388-400, <doi:10.1198/10618600152627997>. Chernoff's distribution is defined as the distribution of the maximizer of the two-sided Brownian motion minus quadratic drift. That is, Z = argmax (B(t)-t^2).
Computes six functional diversity indices. These are namely, Functional Divergence (FDiv), Function Evenness (FEve), Functional Richness (FRic), Functional Richness intersections (FRic_intersect), Functional Dispersion (FDis), and Rao's entropy (Q) (reviewed in Villéger et al. 2008 <doi:10.1890/07-1206.1>). Provides efficient, modular, and parallel functions to compute functional diversity indices (preprint: <doi:10.32942/osf.io/dg7hw>).
Perform forensic handwriting analysis of two scanned handwritten documents. This package implements the statistical method described by Madeline Johnson and Danica Ommen (2021) <doi:10.1002/sam.11566>. Similarity measures and a random forest produce a score-based likelihood ratio that quantifies the strength of the evidence in favor of the documents being written by the same writer or different writers.

This package provides analytic and simulation tools to estimate the minimum sample size required for achieving a target prediction mean-squared error (PMSE) or a specified proportional PMSE reduction (pPMSEr) in linear regression models. Functions implement the criteria of Ma (2023) <https://digital.wpi.edu/downloads/0g354j58c>, support covariance-matrix handling, and include helpers for root-finding and diagnostic plotting.
This utility eases the debugging of literate documents ('noweb files) by patching the synchronization information (the .synctex(.gz) file) produced by pdflatex with concordance information produced by Sweave or knitr and Sweave or knitr ; this allows for bilateral communication between a text editor (visualizing the noweb source) and a viewer (visualizing the resultant PDF'), thus bypassing the intermediate TeX file.
Census and administrative data in South Korea are a basic source of quantitative and mixed-methods research for social and urban scientists. This package provides a sf (Pebesma et al., 2024 <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.sf>) based standardized workflow based on direct open API access to the major census and administrative data sources and pre-generated files in South Korea.
This package provides a collection of high-level, machine- and OS-independent tools for making reproducible and reusable content in R. The two workhorse functions are Cache() and prepInputs()'. Cache() allows for nested caching, is robust to environments and objects with environments (like functions), and deals with some classes of file-backed R objects e.g., from terra and raster packages. Both functions have been developed to be foundational components of data retrieval and processing in continuous workflow situations. In both functions, efforts are made to make the first and subsequent calls of functions have the same result, but faster at subsequent times by way of checksums and digesting. Several features are still under development, including cloud storage of cached objects allowing for sharing between users. Several advanced options are available, see ?reproducibleOptions()'.
EASY-ROUTES is yet another routes handling system on top of Hunchentoot. It's just glue code for Restas routing subsystem (CL-ROUTES).
It supports:
dispatch based on HTTP method

decorators
URL generation from route names
This package provides EASY-ROUTES, EASY-ROUTES+DJULA and EASY-ROUTES+ERRORS systems.
This package implements a Naive Bayes classifier for accurately differentiating true polyadenylation sites (pA sites) from oligo(dT)-mediated 3 end sequencing such as PAS-Seq, PolyA-Seq and RNA-Seq by filtering out false polyadenylation sites, mainly due to oligo(dT)-mediated internal priming during reverse transcription. The classifer is highly accurate and outperforms other heuristic methods.
Bone Profiler is a scientific method and a software used to model bone section for paleontological and ecological studies. See Girondot and Laurin (2003) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280021178_Bone_profiler_A_tool_to_quantify_model_and_statistically_compare_bone-section_compactness_profiles> and Gônet, Laurin and Girondot (2022) <https://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2022/3590-bone-section-compactness-model>.
The implemented functions allow the query, download, and import of remotely-stored and version-controlled data items. The inherent meta-database maps data files and import code to programming classes and allows access to these items via files deposited in public repositories. The purpose of the project is to increase reproducibility and establish version tracking of results from (paleo)environmental/ecological research.
Estimates the restricted mean survival time (RMST) with the time window [0, tau], where tau is adaptively selected from the procedure, proposed by Horiguchi et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7661>. It also estimates the RMST with the time window [tau1, tau2], where tau1 is adaptively selected from the procedure, proposed by Horiguchi et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9662>.
The sparseMatEst package provides functions for estimating sparse covariance and precision matrices with error control. A false positive rate is fixed corresponding to the probability of falsely including a matrix entry in the support of the estimator. It uses the binary search method outlined in Kashlak and Kong (2019) <arXiv:1705.02679> and in Kashlak (2019) <arXiv:1903.10988>.
mirTarRnaSeq R package can be used for interactive mRNA miRNA sequencing statistical analysis. This package utilizes expression or differential expression mRNA and miRNA sequencing results and performs interactive correlation and various GLMs (Regular GLM, Multivariate GLM, and Interaction GLMs ) analysis between mRNA and miRNA expriments. These experiments can be time point experiments, and or condition expriments.
Spatial transcriptomic technologies have helped to resolve the connection between gene expression and the 2D orientation of tissues relative to each other. However, the limited single-cell resolution makes it difficult to highlight the most important molecular interactions in these tissues. SpaceMarkers, R/Bioconductor software, can help to find molecular interactions, by identifying genes associated with latent space interactions in spatial transcriptomics.
