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>.

This package provides a comprehensive toolkit for analyzing and visualizing neural data outputs, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) trajectory plotting, Multi-Electrode Array (MEA) heatmap generation, and variable importance analysis.

Given a network (e.g. a food web), estimates several network indices. These include: Ascendency network indices, Direct and indirect dependencies, Effective measures, Environ network indices, General network indices, Pathway analysis, Network uncertainty indices and constraint efficiencies and the trophic level and omnivory indices of food webs.

Normalize a given Hadamard matrix. A Hadamard matrix is said to be normalized when its first row and first column entries are all 1, see Hedayat, A. and Wallis, W. D. (1978) "Hadamard matrices and their applications. The Annals of Statistics, 1184-1238." <doi:10.1214/aos/1176344370>.

Network Pre-Processing and normalization. Methods for normalizing graphs, including Chua normalization, Laplacian normalization, Binary magnification, min-max normalization and others. Methods to sparsify adjacency matrices. Methods for graph pre-processing and for filtering edges of the graph.

Simulate demand and attributes for ready to launch new products during their life cycle, or during their introduction and growth phases. You provide the number of products, attributes, time periods and/or other parameters and npdsim can simulate for you the demand for each product during the considered time periods, and the attributes of each product. The simulation for the demand is based on the idea that each product has a shape and a level, where the level is the cumulative demand over the considered time periods, and the shape is the normalized demand across those time periods.

This package provides a flexible tool that can perform (i) traditional non-compartmental analysis (NCA) and (ii) Simulation-based posterior predictive checks for population pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PKPD) models using NCA metrics. The methods are described in Acharya et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2016.01.013>.

Replacement for nls() tools for working with nonlinear least squares problems. The calling structure is similar to, but much simpler than, that of the nls() function. Moreover, where nls() specifically does NOT deal with small or zero residual problems, nlmrt is quite happy to solve them. It also attempts to be more robust in finding solutions, thereby avoiding singular gradient messages that arise in the Gauss-Newton method within nls(). The Marquardt-Nash approach in nlmrt generally works more reliably to get a solution, though this may be one of a set of possibilities, and may also be statistically unsatisfactory. Added print and summary as of August 28, 2012.

This package provides utility functions and custom probability distribution for Bayesian analyses of radiocarbon dates within the nimble modelling framework. It includes various population growth models, nimbleFunction objects, as well as a suite of functions for prior and posterior predictive checks for demographic inference (Crema and Shoda (2021) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0251695>) and other analyses.

This package provides tools for drawing Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts. This package supports the NHS Making Data Count programme, and allows users to draw XmR charts, use change points and apply rules with summary indicators for when rules are breached.

Implementation of a probabilistic method to calculate nicheROVER (_niche_ _r_egion and niche _over_lap) metrics using multidimensional niche indicator data (e.g., stable isotopes, environmental variables, etc.). The niche region is defined as the joint probability density function of the multidimensional niche indicators at a user-defined probability alpha (e.g., 95%). Uncertainty is accounted for in a Bayesian framework, and the method can be extended to three or more indicator dimensions. It provides directional estimates of niche overlap, accounts for species-specific distributions in multivariate niche space, and produces unique and consistent bivariate projections of the multivariate niche region. The article by Swanson et al. (2015) <doi:10.1890/14-0235.1> provides a detailed description of the methodology. See the package vignette for a worked example using fish stable isotope data.

R interface for the netstat command line utility used to retrieve and parse commonly used network statistics, including available and in-use transmission control protocol (TCP) ports. Primers offering technical background information on the netstat command line utility are available in the "Linux System Administrator's Manual" by Michael Kerrisk (2014) <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/netstat.8.html>, and on the Microsoft website (2017) <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/netstat>.

Package to select best model among several linear and nonlinear models. The main function uses the gnls() function from the nlme package to fit the data to nine regression models, named: "linear", "quadratic", "cubic", "logistic", "exponential", "power", "monod", "haldane", "logit".

This is an R implementation of the netinf algorithm (Gomez Rodriguez, Leskovec, and Krause, 2010)<doi:10.1145/1835804.1835933>. Given a set of events that spread between a set of nodes the algorithm infers the most likely stable diffusion network that is underlying the diffusion process.

Helps a clinical trial team discuss the clinical goals of a well-defined biomarker with a diagnostic, staging, prognostic, or predictive purpose. From this discussion will come a statistical plan for a (non-randomized) validation trial. Both prospective and retrospective trials are supported. In a specific focused discussion, investigators should determine the range of "discomfort" for the NNT, number needed to treat. The meaning of the discomfort range, [NNTlower, NNTupper], is that within this range most physicians would feel discomfort either in treating or withholding treatment. A pair of NNT values bracketing that range, NNTpos and NNTneg, become the targets of the study's design. If the trial can demonstrate that a positive biomarker test yields an NNT less than NNTlower, and that a negative biomarker test yields an NNT less than NNTlower, then the biomarker may be useful for patients. A highlight of the package is visualization of a "contra-Bayes" theorem, which produces criteria for retrospective case-controls studies.

Run simple direct gravitational N-body simulations. The package can access different external N-body simulators (e.g. GADGET-4 by Springel et al. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2010.03567>), but also has a simple built-in simulator. This default simulator uses a variable block time step and lets the user choose between a range of integrators, including 4th and 6th order integrators for high-accuracy simulations. Basic top-hat smoothing is available as an option. The code also allows the definition of background particles that are fixed or in uniform motion, not subject to acceleration by other particles.

This package provides streamlined installation for packages from the natverse', a suite of R packages for computational neuroanatomy built on top of the nat NeuroAnatomy Toolbox package. Installation of the complete natverse suite requires a GitHub user account and personal access token GITHUB_PAT'. natmanager will help the end user set this up if necessary.
