Fits a structural equation multidimensional scaling (SEMDS) model for asymmetric and three-way input dissimilarities. It assumes that the dissimilarities are measured with errors. The latent dissimilarities are estimated as factor scores within an SEM framework while the objects are represented in a low-dimensional space as in MDS.

Extends the classical SSIM method proposed by Wang', Bovik', Sheikh', and Simoncelli'(2004) <doi:10.1109/TIP.2003.819861>. for irregular lattice-based maps and raster images. The geographical SSIM method incorporates well-developed geographically weighted summary statistics'('Brunsdon', Fotheringham and Charlton 2002) <doi:10.1016/S0198-9715(01)00009-6> with an adaptive bandwidth kernel function for irregular lattice-based maps.

S-Core Graph Decomposition algorithm for graphs. This is a method for decomposition of a weighted graph, as proposed by Eidsaa and Almaas (2013) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.88.062819>. The high speed and the low memory usage make it suitable for large graphs.

Facilitates probabilistic record linkage between infectious disease surveillance datasets (notifiable disease registers, outbreak line-lists), vaccination registries, and hospitalization records using methods based on Fellegi and Sunter (1969) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1969.10501049> and Sayers et al. (2016) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyv322>. The package provides core functions for data preparation, linkage, and analysis: clean_the_nest() standardizes variable names and formats across heterogeneous datasets; murmuration() performs machine learning-based record linkage using blocking variables and similarity metrics; molting() deidentifies datasets for secure sharing; homing() re-identifies previously deidentified datasets; plumage() identifies and categorizes comorbidities; and preening() creates analysis-ready variables including age categories and temporal groupings. Designed for epidemiological research linking acute and post-acute disease outcomes to vaccination status and healthcare utilization. Supports multiple linkage scenarios including case-to-vaccination, case-to-hospitalization, and event-based vaccination status determination (e.g., outbreak attendees, flight passengers, exposure site visitors).

Estimates the restricted mean survival time (RMST) with the time window [0, tau], where tau is adaptively selected from the procedure, proposed by Horiguchi et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7661>. It also estimates the RMST with the time window [tau1, tau2], where tau1 is adaptively selected from the procedure, proposed by Horiguchi et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9662>.

Flexible implementation of the Standardized Ranking Performance Index (sRPI) for model selection based on multiple evaluation criteria. The package combines multiple statistical measures into a single index to provide an objective and robust ranking of models across calibration, validation, and combined scenarios. It supports evaluation of statistical, machine learning, and other predictive models using user-defined performance criteria. For more details see Aschonitis et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2019.01.005> and Singh et al. (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.ecoinf.2022.101933>.

This package implements a group-bridge penalized function-on-scalar regression model proposed by Wang et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/biom.13684>, to simultaneously estimate functional coefficient and recover the local sparsity.

This package provides a fast implementation with additional experimental features for testing, monitoring and dating structural changes in (linear) regression models. strucchangeRcpp features tests/methods from the generalized fluctuation test framework as well as from the F test (Chow test) framework. This includes methods to fit, plot and test fluctuation processes (e.g. cumulative/moving sum, recursive/moving estimates) and F statistics, respectively. These methods are described in Zeileis et al. (2002) <doi:10.18637/jss.v007.i02>. Finally, the breakpoints in regression models with structural changes can be estimated together with confidence intervals, and their magnitude as well as the model fit can be evaluated using a variety of statistical measures.

Generate the same random numbers in R and Python.

Sonification (or audification) is the process of representing data by sounds in the audible range. This package provides the R function sonify() that transforms univariate data, sampled at regular or irregular intervals, into a continuous sound with time-varying frequency. The ups and downs in frequency represent the ups and downs in the data. Sonify provides a substitute for R's plot function to simplify data analysis for the visually impaired.

Gives design points from a sequential full factorial-based Latin hypercube design, as described in Duan, Ankenman, Sanchez, and Sanchez (2015, Technometrics, <doi:10.1080/00401706.2015.1108233>).

Fits group-regularized generalized linear models (GLMs) using the spike-and-slab group lasso (SSGL) prior of Bai et al. (2022) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1765784> and extended to GLMs by Bai (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.07021>. This package supports fitting the SSGL model for the following GLMs with group sparsity: Gaussian linear regression, binary logistic regression, and Poisson regression.

This package provides a ggplot2 theme and colour palettes to create accessible data visualisations in the Scottish Government.

One key exploratory analysis step in single-cell genomics data analysis is the prediction of features with different activity levels. For example, we want to predict differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in single-cell RNA-seq data, spatial DEGs in spatial transcriptomics data, or differentially accessible regions (DARs) in single-cell ATAC-seq data. singleCellHaystack predicts differentially active features in single cell omics datasets without relying on the clustering of cells into arbitrary clusters. singleCellHaystack uses Kullback-Leibler divergence to find features (e.g., genes, genomic regions, etc) that are active in subsets of cells that are non-randomly positioned inside an input space (such as 1D trajectories, 2D tissue sections, multi-dimensional embeddings, etc). For the theoretical background of singleCellHaystack we refer to our original paper Vandenbon and Diez (Nature Communications, 2020) <doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17900-3> and our update Vandenbon and Diez (Scientific Reports, 2023) <doi:10.1038/s41598-023-38965-2>.

Sudoku designs (Bailey et al., 2008<doi:10.1080/00029890.2008.11920542>) can be used as experimental designs which tackle one extra source of variation than conventional Latin square designs. Although Sudoku designs are similar to Latin square designs, only addition is the region concept. Some very important functions related to row-column designs as well as block designs along with basic functions are included in this package.

This package performs variable selection using the structured screen-and-select (S3VS) framework in linear models, generalized linear models with binary data, and survival models such as the Cox model and accelerated failure time (AFT) model.

Uncertainty propagation analysis in spatial environmental modelling following methodology described in Heuvelink et al. (2007) <doi:10.1080/13658810601063951> and Brown and Heuvelink (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2006.06.015>. The package provides functions for examining the uncertainty propagation starting from input data and model parameters, via the environmental model onto model outputs. The functions include uncertainty model specification, stochastic simulation and propagation of uncertainty using Monte Carlo (MC) techniques. Uncertain variables are described by probability distributions. Both numerical and categorical data types are handled. Spatial auto-correlation within an attribute and cross-correlation between attributes is accommodated for. The MC realizations may be used as input to the environmental models called from R, or externally.

Detrending multivariate time-series to approximate stationarity when dealing with intensive longitudinal data, prior to Vector Autoregressive (VAR) or multilevel-VAR estimation. Classical VAR assumes weak stationarity (constant first two moments), and deterministic trends inflate spurious autocorrelation, biasing Granger-causality and impulse-response analyses. All functions operate on raw panel data and write detrended columns back to the data set, but differ in the level at which the trend is estimated. See, for instance, Wang & Maxwell (2015) <doi:10.1037/met0000030>; Burger et al. (2022) <doi:10.4324/9781003111238-13>; Epskamp et al. (2018) <doi:10.1177/2167702617744325>.
