This package implements the vine copula based kernel density estimator of Nagler and Czado (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2016.07.003>. The estimator does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality and is therefore well suited for high-dimensional applications.

The computational complexity of the implemented algorithm for Kendall's correlation is O(n log(n)), which is faster than the base R implementation with a computational complexity of O(n^2). For small vectors (i.e., less than 100 observations), the time difference is negligible. However, for larger vectors, the speed difference can be substantial and the numerical difference is minimal.

This package provides a collection of shiny applications for the tesselle packages <https://www.tesselle.org/>. This package provides applications for archaeological data analysis and visualization. These mainly, but not exclusively, include applications for chronological modelling (e.g. matrix seriation, aoristic analysis) and count data analysis (e.g. diversity measures, compositional data analysis).

The official Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2023 website provides Teacher Context Data Files for Grade 4 in RData format. However, the available data are presented solely as numerical values. This package transforms the numerical data into categorical variables, enabling clearer interpretation and reducing ambiguity in statistical analysis. The category labels are provided in Bahasa Indonesia. This initiative contributes to promoting the use of Bahasa Indonesia in programming, in line with its designation as one of the official languages of the United Nations. For more details see <https://timss2023.org/>.

Predicts any variable in any categorical dataset for given values of predictor variables. If a dataset contains 4 variables, then any variable can be predicted based on the values of the other three variables given by the user. The user can upload their own datasets and select what variable they want to predict. A handsontable is provided to enter the predictor values and also accuracy of the prediction is also shown.

This package implements the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE; Tangri and colleagues (2011) <doi:10.1001/jama.2011.451>; Tangri and colleagues (2016) <doi:10.1001/jama.2015.18202>) to compute 2- and 5-year kidney failure risk using 4-, 6-, and 8-variable models. Includes helpers to append risk columns to data frames, classify chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) outcomes, and evaluate and plot model performance.

This package provides a weighting approach that employs kernels to make one group have a similar distribution to another group on covariates. This method matches not only means or marginal distributions but also higher-order transformations implied by the choice of kernel. kbal is applicable to both treatment effect estimation and survey reweighting problems. Based on Hazlett, C. (2020) "Kernel Balancing: A flexible non-parametric weighting procedure for estimating causal effects." Statistica Sinica. <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299013953_Kernel_Balancing_A_flexible_non-parametric_weighting_procedure_for_estimating_causal_effects>.

The K-sample omnibus non-proportional hazards (KONP) tests are powerful non-parametric tests for comparing K (>=2) hazard functions based on right-censored data (Gorfine, Schlesinger and Hsu, 2020, <doi:10.1177/0962280220907355>). These tests are consistent against any differences between the hazard functions of the groups. The KONP tests are often more powerful than other existing tests, especially under non-proportional hazard functions.

Create a kite-square plot for contingency tables using ggplot2', to display their relevant quantities in a single figure (marginal, conditional, expected, observed, chi-squared). The plot resembles a flying kite inside a square if the variables are independent, and deviates from this the more dependence exists.

Hoffmann (2019) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13043> "A genomic approach to inferring kinship reveals limited intergenerational dispersal in the yellow fever mosquito". Assumes an additive variance model of dispersal in two dimensions, compatible with Wright's neighbourhood area. Simple and composite dispersal simulations are supplied, as well as the functions needed to estimate parent-offspring dispersal for simulated or empirical data, and to undertake sampling design for future field studies of dispersal. For ease of use an integrated Shiny app is also included.

Understanding the current status of forest resources is essential for monitoring changes in forest ecosystems and generating related statistics. In South Korea, the National Forest Inventory (NFI) surveys over 4,500 sample plots nationwide every five years and records 70 items, including forest stand, forest resource, and forest vegetation surveys. Many researchers use NFI as the primary data for research, such as biomass estimation or analyzing the importance value of each species over time and space, depending on the research purpose. However, the large volume of accumulated forest survey data from across the country can make it challenging to manage and utilize such a vast dataset. To address this issue, we developed an R package that efficiently handles large-scale NFI data across time and space. The package offers a comprehensive workflow for NFI data analysis. It starts with data processing, where read_nfi() function reconstructs NFI data according to the researcher's needs while performing basic integrity checks for data quality.Following this, the package provides analytical tools that operate on the verified data. These include functions like summary_nfi() for summary statistics, diversity_nfi() for biodiversity analysis, iv_nfi() for calculating species importance value, and biomass_nfi() and cwd_biomass_nfi() for biomass estimation. Finally, for visualization, the tsvis_nfi() function generates graphs and maps, allowing users to visualize forest ecosystem changes across various spatial and temporal scales. This integrated approach and its specialized functions can enhance the efficiency of processing and analyzing NFI data, providing researchers with insights into forest ecosystems. The NFI Excel files (.xlsx) are not included in the R package and must be downloaded separately. Users can access these NFI Excel files by visiting the Korea Forest Service Forestry Statistics Platform <https://kfss.forest.go.kr/stat/ptl/article/articleList.do?curMenu=11694&bbsId=microdataboard> to download the annual NFI Excel files, which are bundled in .zip archives. Please note that this website is only available in Korean, and direct download links can be found in the notes section of the read_nfi() function.

Optimized for handling complex datasets in environmental and ecological research, this package offers functionality that is not fully met by general-purpose packages. It provides two key functions, summarize_data()', which summarizes datasets, and plot_means()', which creates plots with error bars. The plot_means() function incorporates error bars by default, allowing quick visualization of uncertainties, crucial in ecological studies. It also streamlines workflows for grouped datasets (e.g., by species or treatment), making it particularly user-friendly and reducing the complexity and time required for data summarization and visualization.
