Forms queries to submit to the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank web site's financial stress index data site. Provides query functions for both the composite stress index and the components data. By default the download includes daily time series data starting September 25, 1991. The functions return a class of either type easing or cfsi which contain a list of items related to the query and its graphical presentation. The list includes the time series data as an xts object. The package provides four lattice time series plots to render the time series data in a manner similar to the bank's own presentation.

This package provides a simple progress bar to use for basic and advanced users that suits all those who prefer procedural programming. It is especially useful for integration into markdown files thanks to the progress bar's customisable appearance.

The aim of the package is to provide some basic functions for doing statistics with one dimensional Fuzzy Data (in the form of polygonal fuzzy numbers). In particular, the package contains functions for the basic operations on the class of fuzzy numbers (sum, scalar product, mean, median, Hukuhara difference) as well as for calculating (Bertoluzza) distance and sample variance. Moreover a function to simulate fuzzy random variables and bootstrap tests for the equality of means is included. Version 2.1 fixes some bugs of previous versions.

Streamlines the creation of descriptive frequency tables ('Table 1'), diagnostic test accuracy evaluations (sensitivity, specificity, predictive values), and multi-outcome regression summaries. Features automatic tables, prevalence and odds ratio calculations, and seamless integration with flextable for exporting results to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint'.

Based on the compound Poisson risk process that is perturbed by a Brownian motion, saddlepoint approximations to some measures of risk are provided. Various approximation methods for the probability of ruin are also included. Furthermore, exact values of both the risk measures as well as the probability of ruin are available if the individual claims follow a hypo-exponential distribution (i. e., if it can be represented as a sum of independent exponentially distributed random variables with different rate parameters). For more details see Gatto and Baumgartner (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11009-012-9316-5>.

Model age schedules of mortality, nqx, suitable for a life table. This package implements the SVD-Comp mortality model indexed by either child or child/adult mortality. Given input value(s) of either 5q0 or (5q0, 45q15), the qx() function generates single-year 1qx or 5-year 5qx conditional age-specific probabilities of dying. See Clark (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1612.01408> and Clark (2019) <doi:10.1007/s13524-019-00785-3>.

This package provides tools for calculating disclosure risk measures for microdata, including record-level and file-level measures. The record-level disclosure risk is estimated primarily using exhaustive tabulation. The file-level disclosure risk is estimated by fitting loglinear models on the observed sample counts in cells formed by key variables and their interactions. Funded by the National Center for Education Statistics. See Skinner and Shlomo (2008) <doi:10.1198/016214507000001328> for a description of the file-level risk measures and the loglinear model approach.

This package provides functions to perform stepwise split regularized regression. The approach first uses a stepwise algorithm to split the variables into the models with a goodness of fit criterion, and then regularization is applied to each model. The weights of the models in the ensemble are determined based on a criterion selected by the user.

Fast multi-trait and multi-trail Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) following the method described in Zhou and Stephens. (2014), <doi:10.1038/nmeth.2848>. One of a series of statistical genetic packages for streamlining the analysis of typical plant breeding experiments developed by Biometris.

Pathway Analysis is statistically linking observations on the molecular level to biological processes or pathways on the systems(i.e., organism, organ, tissue, cell) level. Traditionally, pathway analysis methods regard pathways as collections of single genes and treat all genes in a pathway as equally informative. However, this can lead to identifying spurious pathways as statistically significant since components are often shared amongst pathways. SIGORA seeks to avoid this pitfall by focusing on genes or gene pairs that are (as a combination) specific to a single pathway. In relying on such pathway gene-pair signatures (Pathway-GPS), SIGORA inherently uses the status of other genes in the experimental context to identify the most relevant pathways. The current version allows for pathway analysis of human and mouse datasets. In addition, it contains pre-computed Pathway-GPS data for pathways in the KEGG and Reactome pathway repositories and mechanisms for extracting GPS for user-supplied repositories.

In a clinical trial, it frequently occurs that the most credible outcome to evaluate the effectiveness of a new therapy (the true endpoint) is difficult to measure. In such a situation, it can be an effective strategy to replace the true endpoint by a (bio)marker that is easier to measure and that allows for a prediction of the treatment effect on the true endpoint (a surrogate endpoint). The package Surrogate allows for an evaluation of the appropriateness of a candidate surrogate endpoint based on the meta-analytic, information-theoretic, and causal-inference frameworks. Part of this software has been developed using funding provided from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration (Grant Agreement no 602552), the Special Research Fund (BOF) of Hasselt University (BOF-number: BOF2OCPO3), GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Baekeland Mandaat (HBC.2022.0145), and Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine.

Carries out a two-level sample selection where the possibility of an initially selected site not wanting to participate is anticipated, and the site is optimally replaced. The procedure aims to reduce bias (and/or loss of external validity) with respect to the target population. In selecting units and sub-units, sitepickR uses the cube method developed by Deville & Tillé', (2004) <http://www.math.helsinki.fi/msm/banocoss/Deville_Tille_2004.pdf> and described in Tillé (2011) <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/12-001-x/2011002/article/11609-eng.pdf?st=5-sx8Q8n>. The cube method is a probability sampling method that is designed to satisfy criteria for balance between the sample and the population. Recent research has shown that this method performs well in simulations for studies of educational programs (see Fay & Olsen (2021, under review). To implement the cube method, sitepickR uses the sampling R package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=sampling>. To implement statistical matching, sitepickR uses the MatchIt R package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=MatchIt>.

An introduction to a couple of novel predictive variable selection methods for generalised boosted regression modeling (gbm). They are based on various variable influence methods (i.e., relative variable influence (RVI) and knowledge informed RVI (i.e., KIRVI, and KIRVI2)) that adopted similar ideas as AVI, KIAVI and KIAVI2 in the steprf package, and also based on predictive accuracy in stepwise algorithms. For details of the variable selection methods, please see: Li, J., Siwabessy, J., Huang, Z. and Nichol, S. (2019) <doi:10.3390/geosciences9040180>.
