Generates LaTeX code for drawing well-formatted neural network diagrams with TikZ'. Users have to define number of neurons on each layer, and optionally define neuron connections they would like to keep or omit, layers they consider to be oversized and neurons they would like to draw with lighter color. They can also specify the title of diagram, color, opacity of figure, labels of layers, input and output neurons. In addition, this package helps to produce LaTeX code for drawing activation functions which are crucial in neural network analysis. To make the code work in a LaTeX editor, users need to install and import some TeX packages including TikZ in the setting of TeX file.

Makes NCBI taxonomic data locally available and searchable as an R object.

Helps a clinical trial team discuss the clinical goals of a well-defined biomarker with a diagnostic, staging, prognostic, or predictive purpose. From this discussion will come a statistical plan for a (non-randomized) validation trial. Both prospective and retrospective trials are supported. In a specific focused discussion, investigators should determine the range of "discomfort" for the NNT, number needed to treat. The meaning of the discomfort range, [NNTlower, NNTupper], is that within this range most physicians would feel discomfort either in treating or withholding treatment. A pair of NNT values bracketing that range, NNTpos and NNTneg, become the targets of the study's design. If the trial can demonstrate that a positive biomarker test yields an NNT less than NNTlower, and that a negative biomarker test yields an NNT less than NNTlower, then the biomarker may be useful for patients. A highlight of the package is visualization of a "contra-Bayes" theorem, which produces criteria for retrospective case-controls studies.

This package provides functions to calculate the normalised Lineage-Through- Time (nLTT) statistic, given two phylogenetic trees. The nLTT statistic measures the difference between two Lineage-Through-Time curves, where each curve is normalised both in time and in number of lineages.

Clinical reporting figures require to use consistent colors and configurations. As a part of the Roche open-source clinical reporting project, namely the NEST project, the nestcolor package specifies the color code and default theme with specifying ggplot2 theme parameters. Users can easily customize color and theme settings before using the reset of NEST packages to ensure consistent settings in both static and interactive output at the downstream.

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.

(2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007735>.

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.

Functions associated with various extensions concerning the evaluation, validation, and feasibility of the CD analysis are also provided. These topics include the completeness of Q-matrix, Q-matrix refinement method, as well as Q-matrix estimation.

This package provides a nonvisual procedure for screening time series for nonstationarity in the context of intensive longitudinal designs, such as ecological momentary assessments. The method combines two diagnostics: one for detecting trends (based on the split R-hat statistic from Bayesian convergence diagnostics) and one for detecting changes in variance (a novel extension inspired by Levene's test). This approach allows researchers to efficiently and reproducibly detect violations of the stationarity assumption, especially when visual inspection of many individual time series is impractical. The procedure is suitable for use in all areas of research where time series analysis is central. For a detailed description of the method and its validation through simulations and empirical application, see Zitzmann, S., Lindner, C., Lohmann, J. F., & Hecht, M. (2024) "A Novel Nonvisual Procedure for Screening for Nonstationarity in Time Series as Obtained from Intensive Longitudinal Designs" <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384354932_A_Novel_Nonvisual_Procedure_for_Screening_for_Nonstationarity_in_Time_Series_as_Obtained_from_Intensive_Longitudinal_Designs>.

Neural Additive Model framework based on Generalized Additive Models from Hastie & Tibshirani (1990, ISBN:9780412343902), which trains a different neural network to estimate the contribution of each feature to the response variable. The networks are trained independently leveraging the local scoring and backfitting algorithms to ensure that the Generalized Additive Model converges and it is additive. The resultant Neural Network is a highly accurate and interpretable deep learning model, which can be used for high-risk AI practices where decision-making should be based on accountable and interpretable algorithms.
