It's a Modern K-Means clustering algorithm which works for data of any number of dimensions, has no limit with the number of clusters expected, offers both methods with and without initial cluster centers, and can start with any initial cluster centers for the method with initial cluster centers.

Addons for the mice package to perform multiple imputation using chained equations with two-level data. Includes imputation methods dedicated to sporadically and systematically missing values. Imputation of continuous, binary or count variables are available. Following the recommendations of Audigier, V. et al (2018) <doi:10.1214/18-STS646>, the choice of the imputation method for each variable can be facilitated by a default choice tuned according to the structure of the incomplete dataset. Allows parallel calculation and overimputation for mice'.

The Moving Epidemic Method, created by T Vega and JE Lozano (2012, 2015) <doi:10.1111/j.1750-2659.2012.00422.x>, <doi:10.1111/irv.12330>, allows the weekly assessment of the epidemic and intensity status to help in routine respiratory infections surveillance in health systems. Allows the comparison of different epidemic indicators, timing and shape with past epidemics and across different regions or countries with different surveillance systems. Also, it gives a measure of the performance of the method in terms of sensitivity and specificity of the alert week. memapp is a web application created in the Shiny framework for the mem R package.

The routine twosample_test() in this package runs the two-sample test using various test statistic for multivariate data. The user can also run several tests and then find a p value adjusted for simultaneous inference. The p values are found via permutation or via the parametric bootstrap. The routine twosample_power() allows the estimation of the power of the tests. The routine run.studies() allows a user to quickly study the power of a new method and how it compares to those included in the package. For details of the methods and references see the included vignettes.

Distance between multivariate generalised Gaussian distributions, as presented by N. Bouhlel and A. Dziri (2019) <doi:10.1109/LSP.2019.2915000>. Manipulation of multivariate generalised Gaussian distributions (methods presented by Gomez, Gomez-Villegas and Marin (1998) <doi:10.1080/03610929808832115> and Pascal, Bombrun, Tourneret and Berthoumieu (2013) <doi:10.1109/TSP.2013.2282909>).

Projects mean squared out-of-sample error for a linear regression based upon the methodology developed in Rohlfs (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.01493>. It consumes as inputs the lm object from an estimated OLS regression (based on the "training sample") and a data.frame of out-of-sample cases (the "test sample") that have non-missing values for the same predictors. The test sample may or may not include data on the outcome variable; if it does, that variable is not used. The aim of the exercise is to project what what mean squared out-of-sample error can be expected given the predictor values supplied in the test sample. Output consists of a list of three elements: the projected mean squared out-of-sample error, the projected out-of-sample R-squared, and a vector of out-of-sample "hat" or "leverage" values, as defined in the paper.

This package provides a set of tools to perform multiple versions of the Mobility Oriented-Parity metric. This multivariate analysis helps to characterize levels of dissimilarity between a set of conditions of reference and another set of conditions of interest. If predictive models are transferred to conditions different from those over which models were calibrated (trained), this metric helps to identify transfer conditions that differ substantially from those of calibration. These tools are implemented following principles proposed in Owens et al. (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2013.04.011>, and expanded to obtain more detailed results that aid in interpretation as in Cobos et al. (2024) <doi:10.21425/fob.17.132916>.

This package provides an extension to the lolog package by introducing the minTriadicClosure() statistic to capture higher-order interactions among triplets of nodes. This function facilitates improved modelling of group formations and triadic closure in networks. A smoothing parameter has been incorporated to avoid numerical errors.

This package provides multigroup Kitagawa-Blinder-Oaxaca ('mKBO') decompositions, that allow for more than two groups. Each group is compared to the sample average. For more details see Thaning and Nieuwenhuis (2025) <doi:10.31235/osf.io/6twvj_v1>.

Biodiversity areas, especially primary forest, serve a multitude of functions for local economy, regional functionality of the ecosystems as well as the global health of our planet. Recently, adverse changes in human land use practices and climatic responses to increased greenhouse gas emissions, put these biodiversity areas under a variety of different threats. The present package helps to analyse a number of biodiversity indicators based on freely available geographical datasets. It supports computational efficient routines that allow the analysis of potentially global biodiversity portfolios. The primary use case of the package is to support evidence based reporting of an organization's effort to protect biodiversity areas under threat and to identify regions were intervention is most duly needed.

Find dark genes. These genes are often disregarded due to no detected mutation or differential expression, but are important in coordinating the functionality in cancer networks.

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>.

Machine coded genetic algorithm (MCGA) is a fast tool for real-valued optimization problems. It uses the byte representation of variables rather than real-values. It performs the classical crossover operations (uniform) on these byte representations. Mutation operator is also similar to classical mutation operator, which is to say, it changes a randomly selected byte value of a chromosome by +1 or -1 with probability 1/2. In MCGAs there is no need for encoding-decoding process and the classical operators are directly applicable on real-values. It is fast and can handle a wide range of a search space with high precision. Using a 256-unary alphabet is the main disadvantage of this algorithm but a moderate size population is convenient for many problems. Package also includes multi_mcga function for multi objective optimization problems. This function sorts the chromosomes using their ranks calculated from the non-dominated sorting algorithm.

Generic functions to produce area/bar/box/line plots of data following IAMC (Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium) submission format.

The stepwise variable selection procedure (with iterations between the forward and backward steps) can be used to obtain the best candidate final regression model in regression analysis. All the relevant covariates are put on the variable list to be selected. The significance levels for entry (SLE) and for stay (SLS) are usually set to 0.15 (or larger) for being conservative. Then, with the aid of substantive knowledge, the best candidate final regression model is identified manually by dropping the covariates with p value > 0.05 one at a time until all regression coefficients are significantly different from 0 at the chosen alpha level of 0.05.

Lightweight utilities for nucleic acid melting curve analysis are important in life sciences and diagnostics. This software can be used for the analysis and presentation of melting curve data from microbead-based assays (surface melting curve analysis) and reactions in solution (e.g., quantitative PCR (qPCR), real-time isothermal Amplification). Further information are described in detail in two publications in The R Journal [ <https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013-2/roediger-bohm-schimke.pdf>; <https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2015-1/RJ-2015-1.pdf>].

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification involved in genomic stability, gene regulation, development and disease. DNA methylation occurs mainly through the addition of a methyl group to cytosines, for example to cytosines in a CpG dinucleotide context (CpG stands for a cytosine followed by a guanine). Tissue-specific methylation patterns lead to genomic regions with different characteristic methylation levels. E.g. in vertebrates CpG islands (regions with high CpG content) that are associated to promoter regions of expressed genes tend to be unmethylated. MethEvolSIM is a model-based simulation software for the generation and modification of cytosine methylation patterns along a given tree, which can be a genealogy of cells within an organism, a coalescent tree of DNA sequences sampled from a population, or a species tree. The simulations are based on an extension of the model of Grosser & Metzler (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12859-020-3438-5> and allows for changes of the methylation states at single cytosine positions as well as simultaneous changes of methylation frequencies in genomic structures like CpG islands.

Permutation tests for variance components for 2-level, 3-level and 4-level data with univariate or multivariate responses.

This package provides a hybrid of the K-means algorithm and a Majorization-Minimization method to introduce a robust clustering. The reference paper is: Julien Mairal, (2015) <doi:10.1137/140957639>. The two most important functions in package MajKMeans are cluster_km() and cluster_MajKm(). cluster_km() clusters data without Majorization-Minimization and cluster_MajKm() clusters data with Majorization-Minimization method. Both of these functions calculate the sum of squares (SS) of clustering.
