General-purpose MCMC and SMC samplers, as well as plot and diagnostic functions for Bayesian statistics, with a particular focus on calibrating complex system models. Implemented samplers include various Metropolis MCMC variants (including adaptive and/or delayed rejection MH), the T-walk, two differential evolution MCMCs, two DREAM MCMCs, and a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) particle filter.

The encompassing test is developed based on multi-step-ahead predictions of two nested models as in Pitarakis, J. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.16099>. The statistics are standardised to a normal distribution, and the null hypothesis is that the larger model contains no additional useful information. P-values will be provided in the output.

Measuring angles between points in a landscape is much easier than measuring distances. When the location of three points is known the position of the observer can be determined based solely on the angles between these points as seen by the observer. This task (known as triangulation) however requires onerous calculations - these calculations are automated by this package.

The package ABAEnrichment is designed to test for enrichment of user defined candidate genes in the set of expressed genes in different human brain regions. The core function aba_enrich integrates the expression of the candidate gene set (averaged across donors) and the structural information of the brain using an ontology, both provided by the Allen Brain Atlas project.

The Docker registry server enable you to host your own docker registry. With it, there is also two other utilities:

• The digest utility is a tool that generates checksums compatibles with various docker manifest files.

• The registry-api-descriptor-template is a tool for generating API specifications from the docs/spec/api.md.tmpl file.

Repeating of math operators at the broken line and the new line in inline equations is used in Cyrillic mathematical typography (Russian for example), but unfortunately LaTeX does not provide such an option. This package solves the problem by extending ideas described in M. I. Grinchuk TeX and Russian Traditions of Typesetting, and supports most of LaTeX mathematical packages.

Re-analysis of human gene expression data generated on the Affymetrix HG_U133PlusV2 (EH176) and Affymetrix HG_U133A (EH177) platforms. The original data were normalized using robust multiarray averaging (RMA) to obtain an integrated gene expression atlas across diverse biological sample types and conditions. The entire compendia comprisee 9395 arrays for EH176 and 5372 arrays for EH177.

Computes exact p-values for multinomial goodness-of-fit tests based on multiple test statistics, namely, Pearson's chi-square, the log-likelihood ratio and the probability mass statistic. Implements the algorithm detailed in Resin (2023) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2102026>. Estimates based on the classical asymptotic chi-square approximation or Monte-Carlo simulation can also be computed.

Perform calculations for the WHO International Reference Reagents for the microbiome. Using strain, species or genera abundance tables generated through analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing or shotgun sequencing which included a reference reagent. This package will calculate measures of sensitivity, False positive relative abundance, diversity, and similarity based on mean average abundances with respect to the reference reagent.

This package provides a nonparametric, multicore-capable plausible naive Bayes classifier based on the Pareto density estimation (PDE) featuring a plausible approach to a pitfall in the Bayesian theorem covering low evidence cases.

• Generic Decorator API.

• Specify stop condition (i.e. limit by number of attempts).

• Specify wait condition (i.e. exponential backoff sleeping between attempts).

• Customize retrying on Exceptions.

• Customize retrying on expected returned result.

The Chromatograms packages defines an efficient infrastructure for storing and handling of chromatographic mass spectrometry data. It provides different implementations of *backends* to store and represent the data. Such backends can be optimized for small memory footprint or fast data access/processing. A lazy evaluation queue and chunk-wise processing capabilities ensure efficient analysis of also very large data sets.

This package provides a simple interface to build designs using the package DeclareDesign'. In one line of code, users can specify the parameters of individual designs and diagnose their properties. The designers can also be used to compare performance of a given design across a range of combinations of parameters, such as effect size, sample size, and assignment probabilities.

Using a Gaussian copula approach, this package generates simulated data mimicking a target real dataset.
