Fit Bayesian graduation mortality using the Heligman-Pollard model, as seen in Heligman, L., & Pollard, J. H. (1980) <doi:10.1017/S0020268100040257> and Dellaportas, Petros, et al. (2001) <doi:10.1111/1467-985X.00202>, and dynamic linear model (Campagnoli, P., Petris, G., and Petrone, S. (2009) <doi:10.1007/b135794_2>). While Heligman-Pollard has parameters with a straightforward interpretation yielding some rich analysis, the dynamic linear model provides a very flexible adjustment of the mortality curves by controlling the discount factor value. Closing methods for both Heligman-Pollard and dynamic linear model were also implemented according to Dodd, Erengul, et al. (2018) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/48547511>. The Bayesian Lee-Carter model is also implemented to fit historical mortality tables time series to predict the mortality in the following years and to do improvement analysis, as seen in Lee, R. D., & Carter, L. R. (1992) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1992.10475265> and Pedroza, C. (2006) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxj024>. Journal publication available at <doi:10.18637/jss.v113.i09>.

This package creates an interactive graphics interface to visualize backtest results of different financial instruments, such as equities, futures, and credit default swaps. The package does not run backtests on the given data set but displays a graphical explanation of the backtest results. Users can look at backtest graphics for different instruments, investment strategies, and portfolios. Summary statistics of different portfolio holdings are shown in the left panel, and interactive plots of profit and loss (P&L), net market value (NMV) and gross market value (GMV) are displayed in the right panel.

This package provides a fast and intuitive batch effect removal tool for single-cell data. BBKNN is originally used in the scanpy python package, and now can be used with Seurat seamlessly.

Simulating the sequential multi-arm multi-stage or platform trial with Bayesian approach using the rstan package, which provides the R interface for the Stan.

This package provides a computational tool to describe patterns in black and white images from natural structures. bwimage implemented functions for exceptionally broad subject. For instance, bwimage provide examples that range from calculation of canopy openness, description of patterns in vertical vegetation structure, to patterns in bird nest structure.

Allows the user to carry out GLM on very large data sets. Data can be created using the data_frame() function and appended to the object with object$append(data); data_frame and data_matrix objects are available that allow the user to store large data on disk. The data is stored as doubles in binary format and any character columns are transformed to factors and then stored as numeric (binary) data while a look-up table is stored in a separate .meta_data file in the same folder. The data is stored in blocks and GLM regression algorithm is modified and carries out a MapReduce- like algorithm to fit the model. The functions bglm(), and summary() and bglm_predict() are available for creating and post-processing of models. The library requires Armadillo installed on your system. It may not function on windows since multi-core processing is done using mclapply() which forks R on Unix/Linux type operating systems.

This package implements a wide variety of one- and two-parameter Bayesian CRM designs. The program can run interactively, allowing the user to enter outcomes after each cohort has been recruited, or via simulation to assess operating characteristics. See Sweeting et al. (2013): <doi:10.18637/jss.v054.i13>.

This package provides functions to prepare tidy objects from estimated models via BVAR (see Kuschnig & Vashold, 2019 <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.25541.60643>) and visualisation thereof. Bridges the gap between estimating models with BVAR and plotting the results in a more sophisticated way with ggplot2 as well as passing them on in a tidy format.

Simulate, estimate and forecast a wide range of regression based dynamic models for bounded time series, covering the most commonly applied models in the literature. The main calculations are done in FORTRAN, which translates into very fast algorithms.

This package provides a unified set of methods to detect scientific emergence and technological trajectories in academic papers and patents. The package combines citation network analysis with community detection and attribute extraction, also applying natural language processing (NLP) and structural topic modeling (STM) to uncover the contents of research communities. It implements metrics and visualizations of community trajectories, including novelty indicators, citation cycle time, and main path analysis, allowing researchers to map and interpret the dynamics of emerging knowledge fields. Applications of the method include: Souza et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/bbb.2441>, Souza et al. (2022) <doi:10.14211/ibjesb.e1742>, Matos et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s43938-023-00036-3>, Maria et al.

This package provides an alternative approach to aoristic analyses for archaeological datasets by fitting Bayesian parametric growth models and non-parametric random-walk Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive (ICAR) models on time frequency data (Crema (2024)<doi:10.1111/arcm.12984>). It handles event typo-chronology based timespans defined by start/end date as well as more complex user-provided vector of probabilities.

Exact nearest-neighbour and radius-search routines that operate directly on bigmemory::big.matrix objects. The package streams row blocks through BLAS kernels, supports self-search and external-query search, exposes prepared references for repeated queries, and can build exact k-nearest-neighbour, radius, mutual k-nearest-neighbour, and shared-nearest-neighbour graphs. Version 0.3.0 adds execution plans, serializable prepared caches, resumable streamed graph jobs, coercion helpers, exact candidate reranking, and recall summaries for evaluating approximate neighbours.

This package provides a suite of Bayesian MI-LASSO for variable selection methods for multiply-imputed datasets. The package includes four Bayesian MI-LASSO models using shrinkage (Multi-Laplace, Horseshoe, ARD) and Spike-and-Slab (Spike-and-Laplace) priors, along with tools for model fitting via MCMC, four-step projection predictive variable selection, and hyperparameter calibration. Methods are suitable for both continuous and binary covariates under missing-at-random or missing-completely-at-random assumptions. See Zou, J., Wang, S. and Chen, Q. (2025), Bayesian MI-LASSO for Variable Selection on Multiply-Imputed Data. ArXiv, 2211.00114. <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2211.00114> for more details. We also provide the frequentist`s MI-LASSO function.

This package provides high-level modeling functions to define and train models using the torch R package. Models include linear, logistic, and multinomial regression as well as multilayer perceptrons.
