Analyses of OTU tables produced by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, as well as example data. It contains the data and scripts used in the paper Linz, et al. (2017) "Bacterial community composition and dynamics spanning five years in freshwater bog lakes," <doi: 10.1128/mSphere.00169-17>.

In biomedical studies, researchers are often interested in assessing the association between one or more ordinal explanatory variables and an outcome variable, at the same time adjusting for covariates of any type. The outcome variable may be continuous, binary, or represent censored survival times. In the absence of a precise knowledge of the response function, using monotonicity constraints on the ordinal variables improves efficiency in estimating parameters, especially when sample sizes are small. This package implements an active set algorithm that efficiently computes such estimators.

OptGS provides functions to quickly search for near-optimal group-sequential designs for normally distributed outcomes. The methods used are described in Wason, JMS (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v066.i02>.

Creativity research involves the need to score open-ended problems. Usually done by humans, automatic scoring using AI becomes more and more accurate. This package provides a simple interface to the Open Scoring API <https://openscoring.du.edu/docs>, leading creativity scoring technology by Organiscak et al. (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.tsc.2023.101356>. With it, you can score your own data directly from an R script.

Makes it easy to build panel data in wide format from Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) delivered raw data. Downloads data directly from the PSID server using the SAScii package. psidR takes care of merging data from each wave onto a cross-period index file, so that individuals can be followed over time. The user must specify which years they are interested in, and the PSID variable names (e.g. ER21003) for each year (they differ in each year). The package offers helper functions to retrieve variable names from different waves. There are different panel data designs and sample subsetting criteria implemented ("SRC", "SEO", "immigrant" and "latino" samples). More information about the PSID can be obtained at <https://simba.isr.umich.edu/data/data.aspx>.

Data and statistics of Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) survey 2014-15 from Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (<http://www.pbs.gov.pk/>).

High-quality real-world data can be transformed into scientific real-world evidence for regulatory and healthcare decision-making using proven analytical methods and techniques. For example, propensity score (PS) methodology can be applied to select a subset of real-world data containing patients that are similar to those in the current clinical study in terms of baseline covariates, and to stratify the selected patients together with those in the current study into more homogeneous strata. Then, statistical methods such as the power prior approach or composite likelihood approach can be applied in each stratum to draw inference for the parameters of interest. This package provides functions that implement the PS-integrated real-world evidence analysis methods such as Wang et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2019.1657133>, Wang et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2019.1684309>, and Chen et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2020.1730877>.

The constructs used to study the human psychology have many definitions and corresponding instructions for eliciting and coding qualitative data pertaining to constructs content and for measuring the constructs. This plethora of definitions and instructions necessitates unequivocal reference to specific definitions and instructions in empirical and secondary research. This package implements a human- and machine-readable standard for specifying construct definitions and instructions for measurement and qualitative research based on YAML'. This standard facilitates systematic unequivocal reference to specific construct definitions and corresponding instructions in a decentralized manner (i.e. without requiring central curation; Peters (2020) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/xebhn>).

It allows users to calculate sample size with a given power or to calculate power with a given sample size for hypothesis testing based on win ratios, win odds, net benefit, or DOOR (desirability of outcome ranking) as treatment effect between two groups for hierarchical endpoints.
