Identifying spatially variable genes is critical in linking molecular cell functions with tissue phenotypes. This package utilizes a granularity-based dimension-agnostic tool, single-cell big-small patch (scBSP), implementing sparse matrix operation and KD tree methods for distance calculation, for the identification of spatially variable genes on large-scale data. The detailed description of this method is available at Wang, J. and Li, J. et al. 2023 (Wang, J. and Li, J. (2023), <doi:10.1038/s41467-023-43256-5>).

This package provides a simple package facilitating ML based analysis for physics education research (PER) purposes. The implemented machine learning technique is random forest optimized by item response theory (IRT) for feature selection and genetic algorithm (GA) for hyperparameter tuning. The data analyzed here has been made available in the CRAN repository through the spheredata package. The SPHERE stands for Students Performance in Physics Education Research (PER). The students are the eleventh graders learning physics at the high school curriculum. We follow the stream of multidimensional students assessment as probed by some research based assessments in PER. The goal is to predict the students performance at the end of the learning process. Three learning domains are measured including conceptual understanding, scientific ability, and scientific attitude. Furthermore, demographic backgrounds and potential variables predicting students performance on physics are also demonstrated.

Similarity regression, evaluating the probability of association between sets of ontological terms and binary response vector. A no-association model is compared with one in which the log odds of a true response is linked to the semantic similarity between terms and a latent characteristic ontological profile - Phenotype Similarity Regression for Identifying the Genetic Determinants of Rare Diseases', Greene et al 2016 <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2016.01.008>.

In order to facilitate the adjustment of the sample selection models existing in the literature, we created the ssmodels package. Our package allows the adjustment of the classic Heckman model (Heckman (1976), Heckman (1979) <doi:10.2307/1912352>), and the estimation of the parameters of this model via the maximum likelihood method and two-step method, in addition to the adjustment of the Heckman-t models introduced in the literature by Marchenko and Genton (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.656011> and the Heckman-Skew model introduced in the literature by Ogundimu and Hutton (2016) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12171>. We also implemented functions to adjust the generalized version of the Heckman model, introduced by Bastos, Barreto-Souza, and Genton (2021) <doi:10.5705/ss.202021.0068>, that allows the inclusion of covariables to the dispersion and correlation parameters, and a function to adjust the Heckman-BS model introduced by Bastos and Barreto-Souza (2020) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2020.1780570> that uses the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution as a joint distribution of the selection and primary regression variables. This package extends and complements existing R packages such as sampleSelection (Toomet and Henningsen, 2008) and ssmrob (Zhelonkin et al., 2016), providing additional robust and flexible sample selection models.

This package provides a function that behaves nearly as base::source() but implements a caching mechanism on disk, project based. It allows to quasi source() R scripts that gather data but can fail or consume to much time to respond even if nothing new is expected. It comes with tools to check and execute on demand or when cache is invalid the script.

Dual interfaces, graphical and programmatic, designed for intuitive applications of Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP). Users can apply the method to a variety of datasets, from electronic health records to sample survey data, through an end-to-end Bayesian data analysis workflow.

Pleiotropy-informed significance analysis of genome-wide association studies with surrogate functional false discovery rates (sfFDR). The sfFDR framework adapts the fFDR to leverage informative data from multiple sets of GWAS summary statistics to increase power in study while accommodating for linkage disequilibrium. sfFDR provides estimates of key FDR quantities in a significance analysis such as the functional local FDR and $q$-value, and uses these estimates to derive a functional $p$-value for type I error rate control and a functional local Bayes factor for post-GWAS analyses (e.g., fine mapping and colocalization).

In the past decade, genome-scale metabolic reconstructions have widely been used to comprehend the systems biology of metabolic pathways within an organism. Different GSMs are constructed using various techniques that require distinct steps, but the input data, information conversion and software tools are neither concisely defined nor mathematically or programmatically formulated in a context-specific manner.The tool that quantitatively and qualitatively specifies each reconstruction steps and can generate a template list of reconstruction steps dynamically selected from a reconstruction step reservoir, constructed based on all available published papers.

This package provides a time series causal inference model for Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) under spillover effect. SPORTSCausal (Spillover Time Series Causal Inference) separates treatment effect and spillover effect from given responses of experiment group and control group by predicting the response without treatment. It reports both effects by fitting the Bayesian Structural Time Series (BSTS) model based on CausalImpact', as described in Brodersen et al. (2015) <doi:10.1214/14-AOAS788>.

Implementation of a shiny app to easily compare supervised machine learning model performances. You provide the data and configure each model parameter directly on the shiny app. Different supervised learning algorithms can be tested either on Spark or H2O frameworks to suit your regression and classification tasks. Implementation of available machine learning models on R has been done by Lantz (2013, ISBN:9781782162148).

Single-index mixture cure models allow estimating the probability of cure and the latency depending on a vector (or functional) covariate, avoiding the curse of dimensionality. The vector of parameters that defines the model can be estimated by maximum likelihood. A nonparametric estimator for the conditional density of the susceptible population is provided. For more details, see Piñeiro-Lamas (2024) (<https://ruc.udc.es/dspace/handle/2183/37035>). Funding: This work, integrated into the framework of PERTE for Vanguard Health, has been co-financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities with funds from the European Union NextGenerationEU, from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR-C17.I1) and from the Autonomous Community of Galicia within the framework of the Biotechnology Plan Applied to Health.

This package implements a suite of shrinkage estimators for multivariate linear regression to improve estimation stability and predictive accuracy. Provides methods including the Stein estimator, Diagonal Shrinkage, the general Shrinkage estimator (solving a Sylvester equation), and Slab Regression (Simple and Generalized). These methods address Stein's paradox by introducing structured bias to reduce variance without requiring cross-validation, except for ShrinkageRR where the intensity is chosen by minimizing an explicit Mean Squared Error (MSE) criterion. Methods are based on Asimit, V., Cidota, M. A., Chen, Z., and Asimit, J. (2025) <https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/35005/>.
