An implementation of the 1-Sample Wilcoxon Sign rank test for medians. It includes 2 functions, W_stat(), which computes the exact probabilities of the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test Statistic, W. The second function, Wilcox.m.test() allows the user to conduct the 1-Sample Wilcoxon Sign Rank hypothesis test for medians, this also allows the user to conduct the hypothesis test for the normal approximation, based on the techniques of Bickel and Doksum (1973, ISBN:013850363X).

This package provides a workflow for exploring World Development Indicators (WDI) country-level panel data. It downloads WDI data using the WDI package and computes diagnostic indices that capture the temporal behaviour of the data by incorporating the grouping structure of the data. The set of diagnostic indices implemented includes variation features, trend and shape features, and sequential temporal features. This method is described in Akinfenwa, Cahill, and Hurley (2025) "'wdiexplorer': An R package Designed for Exploratory Analysis of World Development Indicators (WDI) Data" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2511.07027>. We adapt the clustering diagnostics and visualisation methodology described in Rousseeuw (1987) <doi:10.1016/0377-0427(87)90125-7> and selected time series features from Hyndman and Athanasopoulos (2021) "Forecasting: Principles and Practice" <https://otexts.com/fpp3/>.

Within-subject mediation analysis using structural equation modeling. Examine how changes in an outcome variable between two conditions are mediated through one or more variables.

This package performs an analysis of time-to-event clinical trial data using various "win time" methods, including ewt', ewtr', rmt', ewtp', rewtp', ewtpr', rewtpr', max', wtr', rwtr', pwt', and rpwt'. These methods are used to calculate and compare treatment effects on ordered composite endpoints. The package handles event times, event indicators, and treatment arm indicators and supports calculations on observed and resampled data. Detailed explanations of each method and usage examples are provided in "Use of win time for ordered composite endpoints in clinical trials," by Troendle et al. (2024)<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38417455/>. For more information, see the package documentation or the vignette titled "Introduction to wintime.".

This package provides functions to calculate the Water Deficit Index (WDI) and the Evaporative Fraction (EF) using geospatial raster data such as fractional vegetation cover (FVC) and surface-air temperature difference (TS-TA). The package automates regression-based edge fitting and produces continuous spatial maps of surface moisture and evaporative dynamics.

This package provides tools for simulating the biophysical effects of vessel-strikes on whales. The aim is to support the evaluation of marine policies limiting ship speeds through regions in which whales reside. This is important because ship strikes are a major source of lethality for several whale species, including the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. In this analysis, whales are modelled with a four-layer system comprising skin, blubber, sub-layer (muscle or organ) and bone. Reasonable values for the material properties of these layers, along with other factors such as whale surface area and mass, are provided for a variety of whale species. Similarly, key values are provided for several ship types. The collision is modelled according to Newtonian dynamics, with stresses and strains within the whale layers being simulated over time. The simulation results are analyzed in the context of whale-strike data, to develop a Lethality Index for the whale in the modelled collision. For the underlying science, see Kelley and other "Assessing the Lethality of Ship Strikes on Whales Using Simple Biophysical Models." (2021) <doi:10.1111/mms.12745>. For more on the R code, see Kelley "`whalestrike`: An R package for simulating ship strikes on whales" (2024) <doi:10.21105/joss.06473>.

The employment of the Wavelet decomposition technique proves to be highly advantageous in the modelling of noisy time series data. Wavelet decomposition technique using the "haar" algorithm has been incorporated to formulate a hybrid Wavelet KNN (K-Nearest Neighbour) model for time series forecasting, as proposed by Anjoy and Paul (2017) <DOI:10.1007/s00521-017-3289-9>.

Four filters have been chosen namely haar', c6', la8', and bl14 (Kindly refer to wavelets in CRAN repository for more supported filters). Levels of decomposition are 2, 3, 4, etc. up to maximum decomposition level which is ceiling value of logarithm of length of the series base 2. For each combination two models are run separately. Results are stored in input'. First five metrics are expected to be minimum and last three metrics are expected to be maximum for a model to be considered good. Firstly, every metric value (among first five) is searched in every columns and minimum values are denoted as MIN and other values are denoted as NA'. Secondly, every metric (among last three) is searched in every columns and maximum values are denoted as MAX and other values are denoted as NA'. output contains the similar number of rows (which is 8) and columns (which is number filter-level combinations) as of input'. Values in output are corresponding NA', MIN or MAX'. Finally, the column containing minimum number of NA values is denoted as the best ('FL'). In special case, if two columns having equal NA', it has been checked among these two columns which one is having least NA in first five rows and has been inferred as the best. FL_metrics_values are the corresponding metrics values. WARIGAANbest is the data frame (dimension: 1*8) containing different metrics of the best filter-level combination. More details can be found in Garai and others (2023) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.11977.42087>.

Analyzing pedigree data of wild populations. While primarily designed to process outputs from the COLONY (Jones & Wang (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1755-0998.2009.02787.x>) pedigree reconstruction software, it can also accommodate data from other sources. By linking reconstructed pedigrees with genetic sample metadata, wpeR produces spatial and temporal visualizations as well as tabular summaries that support interpretation of family structures and dynamics. The main goal of the package is to provide a solution for the analysis of complex wild pedigree data and to help the user to gain insights into genetic relationships within wild animal populations.

This package provides Apache and IIS log analytics for transaction performance, client populations and workload definitions.

Based on Roca-Pardinas J and Sperlich S (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11222-009-9130-2>; Mammen E, Linton O and Nielsen J (1999) <doi:10.1214/aos/1017939138>; Lee YK, Mammen E, Park BU (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-AOS1026>.

An enhanced implementation of Whittaker-Henderson smoothing for the graduation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional actuarial tables used to quantify Life Insurance risks. WH is based on the methods described in Biessy (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.06932>. Among other features, it generalizes the original smoothing algorithm to maximum likelihood estimation, automatically selects the smoothing parameter(s) and extrapolates beyond the range of data.

An interface to WordNet using the Jawbone Java API to WordNet. WordNet (<https://wordnet.princeton.edu/>) is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. Please note that WordNet(R) is a registered tradename. Princeton University makes WordNet available to research and commercial users free of charge provided the terms of their license (<https://wordnet.princeton.edu/license-and-commercial-use>) are followed, and proper reference is made to the project using an appropriate citation (<https://wordnet.princeton.edu/citing-wordnet>). The WordNet database files need to be made available separately, either via package wordnetDicts from <https://datacube.wu.ac.at>, installing system packages where available, or direct download from <https://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/3.0/WNdb-3.0.tar.gz>.

This package provides two functions frameableWidget()', and frameWidget()'. The frameableWidget() is used to add extra code to a htmlwidget which allows is to be rendered correctly inside a responsive iframe'. The frameWidget() is a htmlwidget which displays content of another htmlwidget inside a responsive iframe'. These functions allow for easier embedding of htmlwidgets in content management systems such as wordpress', blogger etc. They also allow for separation of widget content from main HTML content where CSS of the main HTML could interfere with the widget.

Weighted versions of common descriptive statistics (variance, standard deviation, covariance, correlation, quantiles).

This package provides a collection of color palettes that were extracted from various books on my sons(Wren) bookshelf. Also included are a number of functions and wrappers to utilize them, as well as to subset the palettes to desired number/specific colors.

Descriptive statistics for large data tend to be low resolution on the tails. Whisker Odds generate a table of descriptive statistics for large data. This is the same as letter-values, but with an alternative naming of depths which allow for depths beyond 26. For a reference to letter-values see Heike Hofmann and Hadley Wickham and Karen Kafadar (2017) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1305277>.
