This package provides a clustering approach applicable to every projection method is proposed here. The two-dimensional scatter plot of any projection method can construct a topographic map which displays unapparent data structures by using distance and density information of the data. The generalized U*-matrix renders this visualization in the form of a topographic map, which can be used to automatically define the clusters of high-dimensional data. The whole system is based on Thrun and Ultsch, "Using Projection based Clustering to Find Distance and Density based Clusters in High-Dimensional Data" <DOI:10.1007/s00357-020-09373-2>. Selecting the correct projection method will result in a visualization in which mountains surround each cluster. The number of clusters can be determined by counting valleys on the topographic map. Most projection methods are wrappers for already available methods in R. By contrast, the neighbor retrieval visualizer (NeRV) is based on C++ source code of the dredviz software package, and the Curvilinear Component Analysis (CCA) is translated from MATLAB ('SOM Toolbox 2.0) to R.

In short, this package is a locator for cool, refreshing beverages. It will find and return the nearest location where you can get a cold one.

It is often advantageous to test a hypothesis more than once in the context of propensity score analysis (Rosenbaum, 2012) <doi:10.1093/biomet/ass032>. The functions in this package facilitate bootstrapping for propensity score analysis (PSA). By default, bootstrapping using two classification tree methods (using rpart and ctree functions), two matching methods (using Matching and MatchIt packages), and stratification with logistic regression. A framework is described for users to implement additional propensity score methods. Visualizations are emphasized for diagnosing balance; exploring the correlation relationships between bootstrap samples and methods; and to summarize results.

Routines for two different test types, the Constant Conditional Correlation (CCC) test and the Vectorial Independence (VI) test are provided (Kurz and Spanhel (2022) <doi:10.1214/22-EJS2051>). The tests can be applied to check whether a conditional copula coincides with its partial copula. Functions to test whether a regular vine copula satisfies the so-called simplifying assumption or to test a single copula within a regular vine copula to be a (j-1)-th order partial copula are available. The CCC test comes with a decision tree approach to allow testing in high-dimensional settings.

Measures real distances in pictures. With PDM() function, you can choose one *.jpg file, select the measure in mm of scale, starting and and finishing point in the graphical scale, the name of the measure, and starting and and finishing point of the measures. After, ask the user for a new measure.

Streamlines the steps for adding colour scales and associated legends when working with base R graphics, especially for interactive use. Popular palettes are included and pretty legends produced when mapping a large variety of vector classes to a colour scale. An additional helper for adding axes and grid lines complements the base::plot() work flow.

Generation of multiple count, binary and ordinal variables simultaneously given the marginal characteristics and association structure. Throughout the package, the word Poisson is used to imply count data under the assumption of Poisson distribution. The details of the method are explained in Amatya, A. and Demirtas, H. (2015) <DOI:10.1080/00949655.2014.953534>.

This version of the permutational algorithm generates a dataset in which event and censoring times are conditional on an user-specified list of covariates, some or all of which are time-dependent.

Fit finite mixtures of Plackett-Luce models for partial top rankings/orderings within the Bayesian framework. It provides MAP point estimates via EM algorithm and posterior MCMC simulations via Gibbs Sampling. It also fits MLE as a special case of the noninformative Bayesian analysis with vague priors. In addition to inferential techniques, the package assists other fundamental phases of a model-based analysis for partial rankings/orderings, by including functions for data manipulation, simulation, descriptive summary, model selection and goodness-of-fit evaluation. Main references on the methods are Mollica and Tardella (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11336-016-9530-0> and Mollica and Tardella (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6224>.

Computes the D', Wn, and conditional asymmetric linkage disequilibrium (ALD) measures for pairs of genetic loci. Performs these linkage disequilibrium (LD) calculations on phased genotype data recorded using Genotype List (GL) String or columnar formats. Alternatively, generates expectation-maximization (EM) estimated haplotypes from phased data, or performs LD calculations on EM estimated haplotypes. Performs sign tests comparing LD values for phased and unphased datasets, and generates heat-maps for each LD measure. Described by Osoegawa et al. (2019a) <doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2019.01.010>, and Osoegawa et. al. (2019b) <doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2019.05.018>.

This package provides an interactive Shiny-based toolkit for conducting latent structure analyses, including Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), Latent Class Analysis (LCA), Latent Trait Analysis (LTA/IRT), Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The implementation is grounded in established methodological frameworks: LPA is supported through tidyLPA (Rosenberg et al., 2018) <doi:10.21105/joss.00978>, LCA through poLCA (Linzer & Lewis, 2011) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.poLCA> & glca (Kim & Kim, 2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.glca>, LTA/IRT via mirt (Chalmers, 2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i06>, and EFA via psych (Revelle, 2025). SEM and CFA functionalities build upon the lavaan framework (Rosseel, 2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02>. Users can upload datasets or use built-in examples, fit models, compare fit indices, visualize results, and export outputs without programming.

Latent class analysis and latent class regression models for polytomous outcome variables. Also known as latent structure analysis.

Poisson disk sampling is a method of generating blue noise sample patterns where all samples are at least a specified distance apart. Poisson samples may be generated in two or three dimensions with this package. The algorithm used is an implementation of Bridson's "Fast Poisson disk sampling in arbitrary dimensions" <doi:10.1145%2F1278780.1278807>.

Seq2seq time-feature analysis based on variational model, with a wide range of distributions available for the latent variable.

This package provides a common problem faced by journal reviewers and authors is the question of whether the results of a replication study are consistent with the original published study. One solution to this problem is to examine the effect size from the original study and generate the range of effect sizes that could reasonably be obtained (due to random sampling) in a replication attempt (i.e., calculate a prediction interval). This package has functions that calculate the prediction interval for the correlation (i.e., r), standardized mean difference (i.e., d-value), and mean.

This package provides standardised functions for quantifying plant disease intensity and disease development over time. The package implements Percent Disease Index (PDI) for assessing overall disease severity based on categorical ratings, Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) for summarizing disease progression using trapezoidal integration, and Relative AUDPC (rAUDPC) for expressing disease development relative to the maximum possible severity over the observation period. These indices are widely used in plant pathology and epidemiology for comparing treatments, cultivars, and environments.

This package provides data set and function for exploration of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2017-18 Household questionnaire data for Punjab, Pakistan. The results of the present survey are critically important for the purposes of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) monitoring, as the survey produces information on 32 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators. The data was collected from 53,840 households selected at the second stage with systematic random sampling out of a sample of 2,692 clusters selected using probability proportional to size sampling. Six questionnaires were used in the survey: (1) a household questionnaire to collect basic demographic information on all de jure household members (usual residents), the household, and the dwelling; (2) a water quality testing questionnaire administered in three households in each cluster of the sample; (3) a questionnaire for individual women administered in each household to all women age 15-49 years; (4) a questionnaire for individual men administered in every second household to all men age 15-49 years; (5) an under-5 questionnaire, administered to mothers (or caretakers) of all children under 5 living in the household; and (6) a questionnaire for children age 5-17 years, administered to the mother (or caretaker) of one randomly selected child age 5-17 years living in the household (<http://www.mics.unicef.org/surveys>).
