This is a collection of data and functions for common metrics in political science research. Data measuring ideology, and functions calculating geographical diffusion and ideological diffusion - geog.diffuse() and ideo.dist(), respectively. Functions derived from methods developed in: Soule and King (2006) <doi:10.1086/499908>, Berry et al. (1998) <doi:10.2307/2991759>, Cruz-Aceves and Mallinson (2019) <doi:10.1177/0160323X20902818>, and Grossback et al. (2004) <doi:10.1177/1532673X04263801>.

Short and understandable commands that generate tabulated, formatted, and rounded survey estimates. Mostly a wrapper for the survey package (Lumley (2004) <doi:10.18637/jss.v009.i08> <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=survey>) that identifies low-precision estimates using the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) presentation standards (Parker et al. (2017) <https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_02/sr02_175.pdf>, Parker et al. (2023) <doi:10.15620/cdc:124368>).

In a scatterplot where the response variable is Gaussian, Poisson or binomial, we consider the case in which the mean function is smooth with a change-point, which is a mode, an inflection point or a jump point. The main routine estimates the mean curve and the change-point as well using shape-restricted B-splines. An optional subroutine delivering a bootstrap confidence interval for the change-point is incorporated in the main routine.

This package provides a rigorous, reproducible workflow for building, developing and testing scientific theories represented as versioned, machine-checkable objects. Functions read and validate theory objects, score them against a versioned rigour checklist, screen constructs for lexical redundancy, and emit byte-identical diagram intermediate representations. The package is the feature-parity twin of a Python package of the same name, with behaviour pinned by a shared specification so the two implementations produce identical verdicts.

This package computes optimized distance and similarity measures for comparing probability functions (Drost (2018) <doi:10.21105/joss.00765>). These comparisons between probability functions have their foundations in a broad range of scientific disciplines from mathematics to ecology. The aim of this package is to provide a core framework for clustering, classification, statistical inference, goodness-of-fit, non-parametric statistics, information theory, and machine learning tasks that are based on comparing univariate or multivariate probability functions.

This package implements fast hierarchical, agglomerative clustering routines. Part of the functionality is designed as drop-in replacement for existing routines: linkage() in the SciPy package scipy.cluster.hierarchy, hclust() in R's stats package, and the flashClust package. It provides the same functionality with the benefit of a much faster implementation. Moreover, there are memory-saving routines for clustering of vector data, which go beyond what the existing packages provide.

InterCellar is implemented as an R/Bioconductor Package containing a Shiny app that allows users to interactively analyze cell-cell communication from scRNA-seq data. Starting from precomputed ligand-receptor interactions, InterCellar provides filtering options, annotations and multiple visualizations to explore clusters, genes and functions. Finally, based on functional annotation from Gene Ontology and pathway databases, InterCellar implements data-driven analyses to investigate cell-cell communication in one or multiple conditions.

Infer the posterior distributions of microRNA targets by probabilistically modelling the likelihood microRNA-overexpression fold-changes and sequence-based scores. Variaitonal Bayesian Gaussian mixture model (VB-GMM) is applied to log fold-changes and sequence scores to obtain the posteriors of latent variable being the miRNA targets. The final targetScore is computed as the sigmoid-transformed fold-change weighted by the averaged posteriors of target components over all of the features.

This package provides a graphical method for joint visualisation of Variant Set Association Test (VSAT) results and individual variant association statistics. The Archipelago method assigns genomic coordinates to variant set statistics, allowing simultaneous display of variant-level and set-level signals in a unified plot. This supports interpretation of both collective and individual variant contributions in genetic association studies using variant aggregation approaches. For more see Lawless et al. (2026) <doi:10.1002/gepi.70025>.

Automates cardiovagal state regulation mapping by translating raw, noisy mammalian heart rate variability intervals into a standardized linear index using fixed physiological anchors. The package incorporates natural log data compression and utilizes two-one-sided tests (TOST) and Bayesian Region of Practical Equivalence (ROPE) thresholds to mathematically verify cross-species homeostatic synchronization. Methodologies for equivalence testing and regional practical equivalence bounds follow Lakens (2017) <doi:10.1177/1948550617697177> and Kruschke (2018) <doi:10.1177/2515245918771304>.

Tests for two high-dimensional population mean vectors. The user has the option to compute the asymptotic, the permutation or the bootstrap based p-value of the test. Some references are: Chen S.X. and Qin Y.L. (2010). <doi:10.1214/09-AOS716>, Cai T.T., Liu W., and Xia Y. (2014) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12034> and Yu X., Li D., Xue L. and Li, R. (2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2022.2061354>.

Fast Bayesian probability estimation for multimodal categorical data using speed-optimized Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) implementation (Metropolis-Hastings-within-partial-Gibbs). The package provides efficient algorithms for detecting subpopulations, estimating mixture components, and assigning observations to subgroups with probability estimates. The methods are described in Dioszegi, G. et al. (2026) "Automatic Bayesian Mixture Modeling for Multimodal Categorical Data via Integrated Mode Detection and Metropolis-Hastings-within-Gibbs Sampling" (submitted to Journal of Statistical Software).

Several functions are provided to implement a MBPLSDA : components search, optimal model components number search, optimal model validity test by permutation tests, observed values evaluation of optimal model parameters and predicted categories, bootstrap values evaluation of optimal model parameters and predicted cross-validated categories. The use of this package is described in Brandolini-Bunlon et al (2019. Multi-block PLS discriminant analysis for the joint analysis of metabolomic and epidemiological data. Metabolomics, 15(10):134).

In each odd dimension is a convex body - the polar zonoid - whose generating functions are trigonometric polynomials. The polar zonoid is a straightforward generalization of the polar zonohedron in dimension 3, as defined by Chilton and Coxeter (1963) <doi:10.2307/2313051>. The package has some applications of the polar zonoid, including the properties of configuration spaces of arcs on the circle and 3x3 rotation matrices. There is also a root solver for trigonometric polynomials.

We designed this package to provide several functions for area level of small area estimation using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) method. This package provides model using panel data for variable interest.This package also provides a dataset produced by a data generation. The rjags package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involves the HB estimators which include the mean and the variation of mean. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015).

The imcdatasets package provides access to publicly available IMC datasets. IMC is a technology that enables measurement of > 40 proteins from tissue sections. The generated images can be segmented to extract single cell data. Datasets typically consist of three elements: a SingleCellExperiment object containing single cell data, a CytoImageList object containing multichannel images and a CytoImageList object containing the cell masks that were used to extract the single cell data from the images.

Statistics implemented for both peak-wise and gene-wise associations. In peak-wise associations, the p-value of the target genes of a given set of peaks are calculated. Negative binomial or Poisson distributions can be used for modeling the unweighted peaks targets and log-nromal can be used to model the weighted peaks. In gene-wise associations a table consisting of a set of genes, mapped to specific peaks, is generated using the given rules.

This package provides methods to deal with the free antiassociative algebra over the reals with an arbitrary number of indeterminates. Antiassociativity means that (xy)z = -x(yz). Antiassociative algebras are nilpotent with nilindex four (Remm, 2022, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2202.10812>) and this drives the design and philosophy of the package. Methods are defined to create and manipulate arbitrary elements of the antiassociative algebra, and to extract and replace coefficients. A vignette is provided.

This package provides more than 550 data sets of actual election results. Each of the data sets includes aggregate party and candidate outcomes at the voting unit (polling stations) level and two-way cross-tabulated results at the district level. These data sets can be used to assess ecological inference algorithms devised for estimating RxC (global) ecological contingency tables using exclusively aggregate results from voting units.

The HBV hydrological model (Bergström, S. and Lindström, G., (2015) <doi:10.1002/hyp.10510>) has been split in modules to allow the user to build his/her own model. This version was developed by the author in IANIGLA-CONICET (Instituto Argentino de Nivologia, Glaciologia y Ciencias Ambientales - Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas) for hydroclimatic studies in the Andes. HBV.IANIGLA incorporates routines for clean and debris covered glacier melt simulations.

This package provides a comprehensive tool for almost all existing multiple testing methods for discrete data. The package also provides some novel multiple testing procedures controlling FWER/FDR for discrete data. Given discrete p-values and their domains, the [method].p.adjust function returns adjusted p-values, which can be used to compare with the nominal significant level alpha and make decisions. For users convenience, the functions also provide the output option for printing decision rules.

This package provides intuitive functions for caching R objects, encouraging reproducible, restartable, and distributed R analysis. The user selects a location to store caches, and then provides nothing more than a cache name and instructions (R code) for how to produce the R object. Also provides some advanced options like environment assignments, recreating or reloading caches, and cluster compute bindings (using the batchtools package) making it flexible enough for use in large-scale data analysis projects.

Offers a solution for the unavailability of raw data in most anthropological studies by facilitating the calculations of several sexual dimorphism related analyses using the published summary statistics of metric data (mean, standard deviation and sex specific sample size) as illustrated by the works of Relethford, J. H., & Hodges, D. C. (1985) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330660105>, Greene, D. L. (1989) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330790113> and Konigsberg, L. W. (1991) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330840110>.

This package provides statistical tools for analyzing weather patterns, temperature anomalies, and climate risk. Implements Markov regime-switching jump diffusion (MRJD) models to capture abrupt shifts, extreme weather events, and structural breaks in environmental time series data. Estimates model parameters using maximum likelihood estimation and offers utility functions for simulating regime-dependent stochastic processes. The regime-switching methodology is based on Hamilton (1989) "Analysis of Time Series Subject to Changes in Regime" <doi:10.2307/1912559>.
