Illustrate graphically the most common Null Hypothesis Significance Testing procedures. More specifically, this package provides functions to plot Chi-Squared, F, t (one- and two-tailed) and z (one- and two-tailed) tests, by plotting the probability density under the null hypothesis as a function of the different test statistic values. Although highly flexible (color theme, fonts, etc.), only the minimal number of arguments (observed test statistic, degrees of freedom) are necessary for a clear and useful graph to be plotted, with the observed test statistic and the p value, as well as their corresponding value labels. The axes are automatically scaled to present the relevant part and the overall shape of the probability density function. This package is especially intended for education purposes, as it provides a helpful support to help explain the Null Hypothesis Significance Testing process, its use and/or shortcomings.

This package implements network analysis and graph theory measures used in neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology. Methods include various filtering methods and approaches such as threshold, dependency (Kenett, Tumminello, Madi, Gur-Gershgoren, Mantegna, & Ben-Jacob, 2010 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0015032>), Information Filtering Networks (Barfuss, Massara, Di Matteo, & Aste, 2016 <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.94.062306>), and Efficiency-Cost Optimization (Fallani, Latora, & Chavez, 2017 <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005305>). Brain methods include the recently developed Connectome Predictive Modeling (see references in package).

Network is a prevalent form of data structure in many fields. As an object of analysis, many distance or metric measures have been proposed to define the concept of similarity between two networks. We provide a number of distance measures for networks. See Jurman et al (2011) <doi:10.3233/978-1-60750-692-8-227> for an overview on spectral class of inter-graph distance measures.

This package provides functions to produce advanced ascii graphics, directly to the terminal window. This package utilizes the txtplot() function from the txtplot package, to produce text-based histograms, empirical cumulative distribution function plots, scatterplots with fitted and regression lines, quantile plots, density plots, image plots, and contour plots.

This package provides a variety of functions for the best known and most innovative approaches to nonparametric boundary estimation. The selected methods are concerned with empirical, smoothed, unrestricted as well as constrained fits under both separate and multiple shape constraints. They cover robust approaches to outliers as well as data envelopment techniques based on piecewise polynomials, splines, local linear fitting, extreme values and kernel smoothing. The package also seamlessly allows for Monte Carlo comparisons among these different estimation methods. Its use is illustrated via a number of empirical applications and simulated examples.

Clustering unilayer and multilayer network data by means of finite mixtures is the main utility of netClust.

Creation and selection of N-way Partial Least Squares (NPLS) models. Selection of the optimal number of components can be done using ncrossreg(). NPLS was originally described by Rasmus Bro, see <doi:10.1002/%28SICI%291099-128X%28199601%2910%3A1%3C47%3A%3AAID-CEM400%3E3.0.CO%3B2-C>.

An implementation of some of the core network package functionality based on a simplified data structure that is faster in many research applications. This package is designed for back-end use in the statnet family of packages, including EpiModel'. Support is provided for binary and weighted, directed and undirected, bipartite and unipartite networks; no current support for multigraphs, hypergraphs, or loops.

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).

This package provides a Bayesian approach to estimate the number of occurred-but-not-yet-reported cases from incomplete, time-stamped reporting data for disease outbreaks. NobBS learns the reporting delay distribution and the time evolution of the epidemic curve to produce smoothed nowcasts in both stable and time-varying case reporting settings, as described in McGough et al. (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007735>.

Normative data are often used to estimate the relative position of a raw test score in the population. This package allows for deriving regression-based normative data. It includes functions that enable the fitting of regression models for the mean and residual (or variance) structures, test the model assumptions, derive the normative data in the form of normative tables or automatic scoring sheets, and estimate confidence intervals for the norms. This package accompanies the book Van der Elst, W. (2024). Regression-based normative data for psychological assessment. A hands-on approach using R. Springer Nature.
