Companion toolbox for structural equation models fitted with lavaan'. Provides post-estimation diagnostics and graphics that operate directly on a fitted object using its estimates and covariance, and refits auxiliary models when needed. The package relies on lavaan (Rosseel, 2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02>.

Changes of landscape diversity and structure can be detected soon if relying on landscape class combinations and analysing patterns at multiple scales. LandComp provides such an opportunity, based on Juhász-Nagy's functions (Juhász-Nagy P, Podani J 1983 <doi:10.1007/BF00129432>). Functions can handle multilayered data. Requirements of the input: binary data contained by a regular square or hexagonal grid, and the grid should have projected coordinates.

This package provides smooth approximations to the L0 norm penalty for estimating sparse Gaussian graphical models (GGMs). Network estimation is performed using the Local Linear Approximation (LLA) framework (Fan & Li, 2001 <doi:10.1198/016214501753382273>; Zou & Li, 2008 <doi:10.1214/009053607000000802>) with five penalty functions: arctangent (Wang & Zhu, 2016 <doi:10.1155/2016/6495417>), EXP (Wang, Fan, & Zhu, 2018 <doi:10.1007/s10463-016-0588-3>), Gumbel, Log (Candes, Wakin, & Boyd, 2008 <doi:10.1007/s00041-008-9045-x>), and Weibull. Adaptive penalty parameters for EXP, Gumbel, and Weibull are estimated via maximum likelihood, and model selection uses information criteria including AIC, BIC, and EBIC (Extended BIC). Simulation functions generate multivariate normal data from GGMs with stochastic block model or small-world (Watts-Strogatz) network structures.

Alternate font rendering is useful when rendering text to novel graphics outputs where modern font rendering is not available or where bespoke text positioning is required. Bitmap and vector fonts allow for custom layout and rendering using pixel coordinates and line drawing. Formatted text is created as a data.frame of pixel coordinates (for bitmap fonts) or stroke coordinates (for vector fonts). All text can be easily previewed as a matrix or raster image. A selection of fonts is included with this package.

This package implements the latent true-score and target-population anchored geometric standardized mean difference (LTG-SMD) framework for two-group effect-size analysis. Provides plug-in estimation, analytic delta-method confidence intervals using a sample fourth-moment plug-in, bias-corrected and bias-corrected-accelerated nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals with study x group stratification, denominator-sensitivity profiles, and multi-site meta-analytic wrappers. Includes denominator-diagnostic reporting, a pluggable reliability estimator interface, and an explicit interface for specifying the target reference distribution. Companion software to the methodological paper "The Denominator Chooses the Estimand: A Target-Population True-Score Framework for Standardized Mean Differences" (Nakamura, in press, Psychological Methods).

Local Mean Decomposition is an iterative and self-adaptive approach for demodulating, processing, and analyzing multi-component amplitude modulated and frequency modulated signals. This R package is based on the approach suggested by Smith (2005) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2005.0058> and the Python library PyLMD'.

This package performs variety of viral quasispecies diversity analyses [see Pamornchainavakul et al. (2026) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1014208>] based on long-read sequence alignment. Main functions include 1) sequencing error and other noise minimization and read sampling, 2) Single nucleotide variant (SNV) profiles comparison, and 3) viral quasispecies profiles comparison and visualization.

This package creates a consensus genetic map by merging linkage maps from different populations. The software uses linear programming (LP) to efficiently minimize the mean absolute error between the consensus map and the linkage maps. This minimization is performed subject to linear inequality constraints that ensure the ordering of the markers in the linkage maps is preserved. When marker order is inconsistent between linkage maps, a minimum set of ordinal constraints is deleted to resolve the conflicts.

The proposed method aims at predicting the longitudinal mean response trajectory by a kernel-based estimator. The kernel estimator is constructed by imposing weights based on subject-wise similarity on L2 metric space between predictor trajectories as well as time proximity. Users could also perform variable selections to derive functional predictors with predictive significance by the proposed multiplicative model with multivariate Gaussian kernels.

This package implements L-infinity normalization for compositional matrices, assigns samples to dominant features, constructs truncated and hierarchically refined dominant community state types, and computes representative landmark profiles. The methods are described in the accompanying publication <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.21543>. Bundled vaginal and gut microbiome data support reproducible demonstrations of the package interface; phenotype fields in the stratified gut subset are illustrative and are not suitable for population-level inference.

Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be biased by the shape of the study area. The main functionality of this package is to calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is bounded between +1 (100% probability to exclusively record latitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively record longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly East-West oriented straight line).

This package contains Lioness Algorithm (LA) for finding optimal designs over continuous design space, optimal Latin hypercube designs, and optimal order-of-addition designs.

Extracts zip files, converts Word', Excel', and html'/'htm files to pdf format. Word and Excel conversion uses VBScript', while html'/'htm conversion uses webshot and PhantomJS'. Additionally, the package merges pdf files into a single document. This package is only supported on Windows due to VBScript dependencies.
