The details of the method are explained in Demirtas (2004) <DOI:10.22237/jmasm/1099268340>.

Helps calculate statistical values commonly used in meta-analysis. It provides several methods to compute different forms of standardized mean differences, as well as other values such as standard errors and standard deviations. The methods used in this package are described in the following references: Altman D G, Bland J M. (2011) <doi:10.1136/bmj.d2090> Borenstein, M., Hedges, L.V., Higgins, J.P.T. and Rothstein, H.R.

Data sets from a variety of biological sample matrices, analysed using a number of mass spectrometry based metabolomic analytical techniques. The example data sets are stored remotely using GitHub releases <https://github.com/aberHRML/metaboData/releases> which can be accessed from R using the package. The package also includes the abr1 FIE-MS data set from the FIEmspro package <https://github.com/aberHRML/FIEmspro> <doi:10.1038/nprot.2007.511>.

Many times, you will not find data for all dates. After first January, 2011 you may have next data on 20th January, 2011 and so on. Also available dates may have zero values. Try to gather all such kinds of data in different excel sheets of a single excel file. Every sheet will contain two columns (1st one is dates and second one is the data). After loading all the sheets into different elements of a list, using this you can fill the gaps for all the sheets and mark all the corresponding values as zeros. Here I am talking about daily data. Finally, it will combine all the filled results into one data frame (first column is date and other columns will be corresponding values of your sheets) and give one combined data frame. Number of columns in the data frame will be number of sheets plus one. Then imputation will be done. Daily to monthly and weekly conversion is also possible. More details can be found in Garai and others (2023) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.11977.42087>.

Given a set of models for which a measure of model (mis)fit and model complexity is provided, CHull(), developed by Ceulemans and Kiers (2006) <doi:10.1348/000711005X64817>, determines the models that are located on the boundary of the convex hull and selects an optimal model by means of the scree test values.

Given a CSV file with titles and abstracts, the package creates a document-term matrix that is lemmatized and stemmed and can directly be used to train machine learning methods for automatic title-abstract screening in the preparation of a meta analysis.

To determine the number of quantitative assays needed for a sample of data using pooled testing methods, which include mini-pooling (MP), MP with algorithm (MPA), and marker-assisted MPA (mMPA). To estimate the number of assays needed, the package also provides a tool to conduct Monte Carlo (MC) to simulate different orders in which the sample would be collected to form pools. Using MC avoids the dependence of the estimated number of assays on any specific ordering of the samples to form pools.

This package provides new functions info(), warn() and error(), similar to message(), warning() and stop() respectively. However, the new functions can have a level associated with them, so that when executed the global level option determines whether they are shown or not. This allows debug modes, outputting more information. The can also output all messages to a log file.

In the omics data association studies, it is common to conduct the p-value corrections to control the false significance. Beyond the P-value corrections, E-value is recently studied to facilitate multiple testing correction based on V. Vovk and R. Wang (2021) <doi:10.1214/20-AOS2020>. This package provides E-value calculation for DNA methylation data and RNA-seq data. Currently, five data formats are supported: DNA methylation levels using DMR detection tools (BiSeq, DMRfinder, MethylKit, Metilene and other DNA methylation tools) and RNA-seq data. The relevant references are listed below: Katja Hebestreit and Hans-Ulrich Klein (2022) <doi:10.18129/B9.bioc.BiSeq>; Altuna Akalin et.al (2012) <doi:10.18129/B9.bioc.methylKit>.

This package provides functions for diagnostic meta-analysis. Next to basic analysis and visualization the bivariate Model of Reitsma et al. (2005) that is equivalent to the HSROC of Rutter & Gatsonis (2001) can be fitted. A new approach based to diagnostic meta-analysis of Holling et al. (2012) is also available. Standard methods like summary, plot and so on are provided.

Compute bootstrap confidence intervals for the adjusted Schnabel and Schumacher-Eschmeyer multi-visit mark-recapture estimators based on Dettloff (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.fishres.2023.106756>.

Simple tools to perform mixture optimization based on the desirability package by Max Kuhn. It also provides a plot routine using ggplot2 and patchwork'.

Generalized Egger tests for detecting publication bias in meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy test (Noma (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13343>, Noma (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.07270>). These publication bias tests are generally more powerful compared with the conventional univariate publication bias tests and can incorporate correlation information between the outcome variables.

This package provides the mean to parse and render markdown text with grid along with facilities to define the styling of the text.

Identifying important factors from a large number of potentially important factors of a highly nonlinear and computationally expensive black box model is a difficult problem. Xiao, Joseph, and Ray (2022) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2022.2141897> proposed Maximum One-Factor-at-a-Time (MOFAT) designs for doing this. A MOFAT design can be viewed as an improvement to the random one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) design proposed by Morris (1991) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1991.10484804>. The improvement is achieved by exploiting the connection between Morris screening designs and Monte Carlo-based Sobol designs, and optimizing the design using a space-filling criterion. This work is supported by a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) grant CMMI-1921646 <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1921646>.

This package implements Multi-Calibration Boosting (2018) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v80/hebert-johnson18a.html> and Multi-Accuracy Boosting (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1805.12317> for the multi-calibration of a machine learning model's prediction. MCBoost updates predictions for sub-groups in an iterative fashion in order to mitigate biases like poor calibration or large accuracy differences across subgroups. Multi-Calibration works best in scenarios where the underlying data & labels are unbiased, but resulting models are. This is often the case, e.g. when an algorithm fits a majority population while ignoring or under-fitting minority populations.

Evolutionary black box optimization algorithms building on the bbotk package. miesmuschel offers both ready-to-use optimization algorithms, as well as their fundamental building blocks that can be used to manually construct specialized optimization loops. The Mixed Integer Evolution Strategies as described by Li et al. (2013) <doi:10.1162/EVCO_a_00059> can be implemented, as well as the multi-objective optimization algorithms NSGA-II by Deb, Pratap, Agarwal, and Meyarivan (2002) <doi:10.1109/4235.996017>.

This package provides a multivariate generalization of the emulator package.

Data-driven approach for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) that uses Model Implied Instrumental Variables (MIIVs). The method starts with a one factor model and arrives at a suggested model with enhanced interpretability that allows cross-loadings and correlated errors.

This package provides tools for motif analysis in multi-level networks. Multi-level networks combine multiple networks in one, e.g. social-ecological networks. Motifs are small configurations of nodes and edges (subgraphs) occurring in networks. motifr can visualize multi-level networks, count multi-level network motifs and compare motif occurrences to baseline models. It also identifies contributions of existing or potential edges to motifs to find critical or missing edges. The package is in many parts an R wrapper for the excellent SESMotifAnalyser Python package written by Tim Seppelt.

This package provides a PC Algorithm with the Principle of Mendelian Randomization. This package implements the MRPC (PC with the principle of Mendelian randomization) algorithm to infer causal graphs. It also contains functions to simulate data under a certain topology, to visualize a graph in different ways, and to compare graphs and quantify the differences. See Badsha and Fu (2019) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2019.00460>, Badsha, Martin and Fu (2021) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2021.651812>, Kvamme and Badsha, et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/genetics/iyaf064>.
