Balancing quasi-experimental field research for effects of covariates is fundamental for drawing causal inference. Propensity Score Matching deals with this issue but current techniques are restricted to binary treatment variables. Moreover, they provide several solutions without providing a comprehensive framework on choosing the best model. The MAGMA R-package addresses these restrictions by offering nearest neighbor matching for two to four groups. It also includes the option to match data of a 2x2 design. In addition, MAGMA includes a framework for evaluating the post-matching balance. The package includes functions for the matching process and matching reporting. We provide a tutorial on MAGMA as vignette. More information on MAGMA can be found in Feuchter, M. D., Urban, J., Scherrer V., Breit, M. L., and Preckel F. (2022) <https://osf.io/p47nc/>.

With high-dimensional omics features, repeated measure ANOVA leads to longitudinal gene-environment interaction studies that have intra-cluster correlations, outlying observations and structured sparsity arising from the ANOVA design. In this package, we have developed robust sparse Bayesian mixed effect models tailored for the above studies (Fan et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/jrsssc/qlaf027>). An efficient Gibbs sampler has been developed to facilitate fast computation. The Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms of the proposed and alternative methods are efficiently implemented in C++'. The development of this software package and the associated statistical methods have been partially supported by an Innovative Research Award from Johnson Cancer Research Center, Kansas State University.

This package provides a Shiny application for converting Excel'-based Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data into SimaPro CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format for use in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modeling. Developed by the Mine Sustainability Modeling Group (MSMG) at Missouri University of Science and Technology under NSF (National Science Foundation) funding (Award No. 2219086). See Pizzol (2022) <https://github.com/massimopizzol/Simapro-CSV-converter> for the original Python implementation that inspired this tool.

Fits Bayesian dose-response model-based network meta-analysis (MBNMA) that incorporate multiple doses within an agent by modelling different dose-response functions, as described by Mawdsley et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12091>. By modelling dose-response relationships this can connect networks of evidence that might otherwise be disconnected, and can improve precision on treatment estimates. Several common dose-response functions are provided; others may be added by the user. Various characteristics and assumptions can be flexibly added to the models, such as shared class effects. The consistency of direct and indirect evidence in the network can be assessed using unrelated mean effects models and/or by node-splitting at the treatment level.

Procedures to fit species distributions models from occurrence records and environmental variables, using glmnet for model fitting. Model structure is the same as for the Maxent Java package, version 3.4.0, with the same feature types and regularization options. See the Maxent website <http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/maxent> for more details.

Frequentist and Bayesian linear regression for large data sets. Useful when the data does not fit into memory (for both frequentist and Bayesian regression), to make running time manageable (mainly for Bayesian regression), and to reduce the total running time because of reduced or less severe memory-spillover into the virtual memory. This is an implementation of Merge & Reduce for linear regression as described in Geppert, L.N., Ickstadt, K., Munteanu, A., & Sohler, C. (2020). Streaming statistical models via Merge & Reduce'. International Journal of Data Science and Analytics, 1-17, <doi:10.1007/s41060-020-00226-0>.

Identifies structural properties of scales and calculates derived values (sign vector, color number, brightness ratio, etc.). Creates plots such as "brightness graphs" which visualize these properties.

This package contains functions for mapping odds ratios, hazard ratios, or other effect estimates using individual-level data such as case-control study data, using generalized additive models (GAMs) or Cox models for smoothing with a two-dimensional predictor (e.g., geolocation or exposure to chemical mixtures) while adjusting linearly for confounding variables, using methods described by Kelsall and Diggle (1998), Webster at al. (2006), and Bai et al. (2020). Includes convenient functions for mapping point estimates and confidence intervals, efficient control sampling, and permutation tests for the null hypothesis that the two-dimensional predictor is not associated with the outcome variable (adjusting for confounders).

Correct identification and handling of missing data is one of the most important steps in any analysis. To aid this process, mde provides a very easy to use yet robust framework to quickly get an idea of where the missing data lies and therefore find the most appropriate action to take. Graham WJ (2009) <doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.58.110405.085530>.

This is a non-parametric method for joint adaptive mean-variance regularization and variance stabilization of high-dimensional data. It is suited for handling difficult problems posed by high-dimensional multivariate datasets (p >> n paradigm). Among those are that the variance is often a function of the mean, variable-specific estimators of variances are not reliable, and tests statistics have low powers due to a lack of degrees of freedom. Key features include: (i) Normalization and/or variance stabilization of the data, (ii) Computation of mean-variance-regularized t-statistics (F-statistics to follow), (iii) Generation of diverse diagnostic plots, (iv) Computationally efficient implementation using C/C++ interfacing and an option for parallel computing to enjoy a faster and easier experience in the R environment.

Fast imputations under the object-oriented programming paradigm. Moreover there are offered a few functions built to work with popular R packages such as data.table or dplyr'. The biggest improvement in time performance can be achieved for a calculation where a grouping variable is used. A single evaluation of a quantitative model for the multiple imputations is another major enhancement. A new major improvement is one of the fastest predictive mean matching in the R world because of presorting and binary search.
