Implementation of Narrowest Significance Pursuit, a general and flexible methodology for automatically detecting localised regions in data sequences which each must contain a change-point (understood as an abrupt change in the parameters of an underlying linear model), at a prescribed global significance level. Narrowest Significance Pursuit works with a wide range of distributional assumptions on the errors, and yields exact desired finite-sample coverage probabilities, regardless of the form or number of the covariates. For details, see P. Fryzlewicz (2021) <https://stats.lse.ac.uk/fryzlewicz/nsp/nsp.pdf>.

Implementation of network integration approaches comprising unweighted and weighted integration methods. Unweighted integration is performed considering the average, per-edge average, maximum and minimum of networks edges. Weighted integration takes into account a weight for each network during the fusion process, where the weights express the predictiveness strength of each network considering a specific predictive task. Weights can be learned using a machine learning algorithm able to associate the weights to the assessment of the accuracy of the learning algorithm trained on the network itself. The implemented methods can be applied to effectively integrate different biological networks modelling a wide range of problems in bioinformatics (e.g. disease gene prioritization, protein function prediction, drug repurposing, clinical outcome prediction).

Three distinct methods are implemented for evaluating the sums of arbitrary negative binomial distributions. These methods are: Furman's exact probability mass function (Furman (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2006.06.007>), saddlepoint approximation, and a method of moments approximation. Functions are provided to calculate the density function, the distribution function and the quantile function of the convolutions in question given said evaluation methods. Functions for generating random deviates from negative binomial convolutions and for directly calculating the mean, variance, skewness, and excess kurtosis of said convolutions are also provided.

Researchers often want to evaluate whether there is a negligible relationship among variables. The negligible package provides functions that are useful for conducting negligible effect testing (also called equivalence testing). For example, there are functions for evaluating the equivalence of means or the presence of a negligible association (correlation or regression). Beribisky, N., Mara, C., & Cribbie, R. A.

This package provides a number of statistical tests have been proposed to compare two survival curves, including the difference in (or ratio of) t-year survival, difference in (or ratio of) p-th percentile survival, difference in (or ratio of) restricted mean survival time, and the weighted log-rank test. Despite the multitude of options, the convention in survival studies is to assume proportional hazards and to use the unweighted log-rank test for design and analysis. This package provides sample size and power calculation for all of the above statistical tests with allowance for flexible accrual, censoring, and survival (eg. Weibull, piecewise-exponential, mixture cure). It is the companion R package to the paper by Yung and Liu (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13196>. Specific to the weighted log-rank test, users may specify which approximations they wish to use to estimate the large-sample mean and variance. The default option has been shown to provide substantial improvement over the conventional sample size and power equations based on Schoenfeld (1981) <doi:10.1093/biomet/68.1.316>.

Non linear dot plots are diagrams that allow dots of varying size to be constructed, so that columns with a large number of samples are reduced in height. Implementation of algorithm described in: Nils Rodrigues and Daniel Weiskopf, "Nonlinear Dot Plots", IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, vol. 24, no. 1, pp. 616-625, 2018. <doi:10.1109/TVCG.2017.2744018>.

Utilities for Natural Language Processing.

Addressing crucial research questions often necessitates a small sample size due to factors such as distinctive target populations, rarity of the event under study, time and cost constraints, ethical concerns, or group-level unit of analysis. Many readily available analytic methods, however, do not accommodate small sample sizes, and the choice of the best method can be unclear. The npboottprm package enables the execution of nonparametric bootstrap tests with pooled resampling to help fill this gap. Grounded in the statistical methods for small sample size studies detailed in Dwivedi, Mallawaarachchi, and Alvarado (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7263>, the package facilitates a range of statistical tests, encompassing independent t-tests, paired t-tests, and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) F-tests. The nonparboot() function undertakes essential computations, yielding detailed outputs which include test statistics, effect sizes, confidence intervals, and bootstrap distributions. Further, npboottprm incorporates an interactive shiny web application, nonparboot_app(), offering intuitive, user-friendly data exploration.

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.

NEON data packages can be accessed through the NEON Data Portal <https://www.neonscience.org> or through the NEON Data API (see <https://data.neonscience.org/data-api> for documentation). Data delivered from the Data Portal are provided as monthly zip files packaged within a parent zip file, while individual files can be accessed from the API. This package provides tools that aid in discovering, downloading, and reformatting data prior to use in analyses. This includes downloading data via the API, merging data tables by type, and converting formats. For more information, see the readme file at <https://github.com/NEONScience/NEON-utilities>.
