Given a network (e.g. a food web), estimates several network indices. These include: Ascendency network indices, Direct and indirect dependencies, Effective measures, Environ network indices, General network indices, Pathway analysis, Network uncertainty indices and constraint efficiencies and the trophic level and omnivory indices of food webs.

Given a failure type, the function computes covariate-specific probability of failure over time and covariate-specific conditional hazard rate based on possibly right-censored competing risk data. Specifically, it computes the non-parametric maximum-likelihood estimates of these quantities and their asymptotic variances in a semi-parametric mixture model for competing-risks data, as described in Chang et al. (2007a).

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 set of functions to simulate National Football League seasons including the sophisticated tie-breaking procedures.

An R-package for calculating sample size of a survival trial with or without cure fractions.

Calculates the normalized mutual information (NMI) of two community structures in network analysis.

Linear regression model and generalized linear models with nonparametric network effects on network-linked observations. The model is originally proposed by Le and Li (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.00803> and is assumed on observations that are connected by a network or similar relational data structure. A more recent work by Wang, Le and Li (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.01163> further extends the framework to generalized linear models. All these models are implemented in the current package. The model does not assume that the relational data or network structure to be precisely observed; thus, the method is provably robust to a certain level of perturbation of the network structure. The package contains the estimation and inference function for the model.

Calculation of molecular number and brightness from fluorescence microscopy image series. The software was published in a 2016 paper <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx434>.

Furthermore, the calculation of generalized weights (Intrator O & Intrator N, 1993) is implemented.

Perform an exploration and a preliminary analysis on the dose- response relationship of nanomaterial toxicity. Several functions are provided for data exploration, including functions for creating a subset of dataset, frequency tables and plots. Inference for order restricted dose- response data is performed by testing the significance of monotonic dose-response relationship, using Williams, Marcus, M, Modified M and Likelihood ratio tests. Several methods of multiplicity adjustment are also provided. Description of the methods can be found in <https://github.com/rahmasarina/dose-response-analysis/blob/main/Methodology.pdf>.

This package provides a suite of tools that can assist in enhancing the processing efficiency of SQL and R scripts. - The libr_unused() retrieves a vector of package names that are called within an R script but are never actually used in the script. - The libr_used() retrieves a vector of package names actively utilized within an R script; packages loaded using library() but not actually used in the script will not be included. - The libr_called() retrieves a vector of all package names which are called within an R script. - nolock() appends WITH (nolock) to all tables in SQL queries. This facilitates reading from databases in scenarios where non-blocking reads are preferable, such as in high-transaction environments.

This package provides tools for estimating Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, building confidence bands, comparing several curves both for dependent and independent data, estimating the cumulative-dynamic ROC curve in presence of censored data, and performing meta-analysis studies, among others.

Facilitates nonresponse bias analysis (NRBA) for survey data. Such data may arise from a complex sampling design with features such as stratification, clustering, or unequal probabilities of selection. Multiple types of analyses may be conducted: comparisons of response rates across subgroups; comparisons of estimates before and after weighting adjustments; comparisons of sample-based estimates to external population totals; tests of systematic differences in covariate means between respondents and full samples; tests of independence between response status and covariates; and modeling of outcomes and response status as a function of covariates. Extensive documentation and references are provided for each type of analysis. Krenzke, Van de Kerckhove, and Mohadjer (2005) <http://www.asasrms.org/Proceedings/y2005/files/JSM2005-000572.pdf> and Lohr and Riddles (2016) <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/12-001-x/2016002/article/14677-eng.pdf?st=q7PyNsGR> provide an overview of the methods implemented in this package.

This package performs nonparametric analysis of longitudinal data in factorial experiments. Longitudinal data are those which are collected from the same subjects over time, and they frequently arise in biological sciences. Nonparametric methods do not require distributional assumptions, and are applicable to a variety of data types (continuous, discrete, purely ordinal, and dichotomous). Such methods are also robust with respect to outliers and for small sample sizes.

Automatic time series modelling with neural networks. Allows fully automatic, semi-manual or fully manual specification of networks. For details of the specification methodology see: (i) Crone and Kourentzes (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2010.01.017>; and (ii) Kourentzes et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2013.12.011>.

This package provides functions for manipulating nested data frames in a list-column using dplyr <https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/> syntax. Rather than unnesting, then manipulating a data frame, nplyr allows users to manipulate each nested data frame directly. nplyr is a wrapper for dplyr functions that provide tools for common data manipulation steps: filtering rows, selecting columns, summarising grouped data, among others.
