Translates beliefs into prior information in the form of Beta and Gamma distributions. It can be used for the generation of priors on the prevalence of disease and the sensitivity/specificity of diagnostic tests and any other binomial experiment.

This package provides functions to estimate the kinship matrix of individuals from a large set of biallelic SNPs, and extract inbreeding coefficients and the generalized FST (Wright's fixation index). Method described in Ochoa and Storey (2021) <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1009241>.

This work is an extension of the state space model for Poisson count data, Poisson-Gamma model, towards a semiparametric specification. Just like the generalized additive models (GAM), cubic splines are used for covariate smoothing. The semiparametric models are fitted by an iterative process that combines maximization of likelihood and backfitting algorithm.

Generates chronological and ordered p-plots for data vectors or vectors of p-values. The p-plot visualizes the evolution of the p-value of a significance test across the sampled data. It allows for assessing the consistency of the observed effects, for detecting the presence of potential moderator variables, and for estimating the influence of outlier values on the observed results. For non-significant findings, it can diagnose patterns indicative of underpowered study designs. The p-plot can thus either back the binary accept-vs-reject decision of common null-hypothesis significance tests, or it can qualify this decision and stimulate additional empirical work to arrive at more robust and replicable statistical inferences.

This package provides function declarations and inline function definitions that facilitate cleaning strings in C++ code before passing them to R.

This package implements the methods for assessing heterogeneous cluster-specific treatment effects in partially nested designs as described in Liu (2024) <doi:10.1037/met0000723>. The estimation uses the multiply robust method, allowing for the use of machine learning methods in model estimation (e.g., random forest, neural network, and the super learner ensemble). Partially nested designs (also known as partially clustered designs) are designs where individuals in the treatment arm are assigned to clusters (e.g., teachers, tutoring groups, therapists), whereas individuals in the control arm have no such clustering.

This package implements a novel predictive model, Partially Interpretable Estimators (PIE), which jointly trains an interpretable model and a black-box model to achieve high predictive performance as well as partial model. See the paper, Wang, Yang, Li, and Wang (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2105.02410>.

This package provides methods for fitting point processes with parameters of generalised additive model (GAM) form are provided. For an introduction to point processes see Cox, D.R & Isham, V. (Point Processes, 1980, CRC Press), GAMs see Wood, S.N. (2017) <doi:10.1201/9781315370279>, and the fitting approach see Wood, S.N., Pya, N. & Safken, B. (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1180986>.

This package provides a suite of Propensity Score Predictive Inference (PSPI) methods to generalize treatment effects in trials to target populations. The package includes an existing model Bayesian Causal Forest (BCF) and four PSPI models (BCF-PS, FullBART, SplineBART, DSplineBART). These methods leverage Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) to adjust for high-dimensional covariates and nonlinear associations, while SplineBART and DSplineBART further use propensity score based splines to address covariate shift between trial data and target population.

This package provides a toolbox for writing knitr', Sweave or other LaTeX'- or markdown'-based reports and to prettify the output of various estimated models.

Generates simple and beautiful one-page HTML reference manuals with package documentation. Math rendering and syntax highlighting are done server-side in R such that no JavaScript libraries are needed in the browser, which makes the documentation portable and fast to load.

This package provides a set of Analysis Data Model (ADaM) datasets constructed using the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) datasets contained in the pharmaversesdtm package and the template scripts from the admiral family of packages. ADaM dataset specifications are described in the CDISC ADaM implementation guide, accessible by creating a free account on <https://www.cdisc.org/>.

High-quality real-world data can be transformed into scientific real-world evidence for regulatory and healthcare decision-making using proven analytical methods and techniques. For example, propensity score (PS) methodology can be applied to select a subset of real-world data containing patients that are similar to those in the current clinical study in terms of baseline covariates, and to stratify the selected patients together with those in the current study into more homogeneous strata. Then, statistical methods such as the power prior approach or composite likelihood approach can be applied in each stratum to draw inference for the parameters of interest. This package provides functions that implement the PS-integrated real-world evidence analysis methods such as Wang et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2019.1657133>, Wang et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2019.1684309>, and Chen et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2020.1730877>.

These datasets can be used to build models and compare statistical information with the information from prediction markets.The Major League Baseball (MLB) 2016 dataset can be used for sabermetrics analysis and also can be used in conjunction with other popular Major League Baseball (MLB) datasets such as Retrosheets or the Lahman package by merging by GameID.

This package provides a Shiny application for calculating phytosanitary inspection plans based on risks. It generates a diagram of pallets in a lot, highlights the units to be sampled, and documents them based on the selected sampling method (simple random or systematic sampling).

This package creates a non-negative low-rank approximate factorization of a sparse counts matrix by maximizing Poisson likelihood with L1/L2 regularization (e.g. for implicit-feedback recommender systems or bag-of-words-based topic modeling) (Cortes, (2018) <arXiv:1811.01908>), which usually leads to very sparse user and item factors (over 90% zero-valued). Similar to hierarchical Poisson factorization (HPF), but follows an optimization-based approach with regularization instead of a hierarchical prior, and is fit through gradient-based methods instead of variational inference.

This package provides functions for data normalization and transformation in preprocessing stages. Implements scaling methods (min-max, Z-score, L2 normalization) and power transformations (Box-Cox, Yeo-Johnson). Box-Cox transformation is described in Box and Cox (1964) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1964.tb00553.x>, Yeo-Johnson transformation in Yeo and Johnson (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.4.954>.

This package implements (1) panel cointegration rank tests, (2) estimators for panel vector autoregressive (VAR) models, and (3) identification methods for panel structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models as described in the accompanying vignette. The implemented functions allow to account for cross-sectional dependence and for structural breaks in the deterministic terms of the VAR processes. Among the large set of functions, particularly noteworthy are those that implement (1) the correlation-augmented inverse normal test on the cointegration rank by Arsova and Oersal (2021, <doi:10.1016/j.ecosta.2020.05.002>), (2) the two-step estimator for pooled cointegrating vectors by Breitung (2005, <doi:10.1081/ETC-200067895>), and (3) the pooled identification based on independent component analysis by Herwartz and Wang (2024, <doi:10.1002/jae.3044>).

Generates predicted stage change days for an insect, based on daily temperatures and development rate parameters, as developed by Pollard (2014) <http://mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/view/ethesisauthor/Pollard=3ACiaran_P=2E=3A=3A.html>. A few example datasets are included and implemented for P. vulgatissima, the blue willow beetle, but the approach can be readily applied to other species that display similar behaviour.

Derived from open ecological and biological sources such as Palmer Station studies, the package integrates datasets covering adult morphology, clutch size, blood isotope composition, and heart rate. It is designed for researchers, students, and educators to explore statistical methods including ANOVA, regression, multivariate analysis, and design of experiments in an accessible and reproducible context.

This software has evolved from fisheries research conducted at the Pacific Biological Station (PBS) in Nanaimo', British Columbia, Canada. It extends the R language to include two-dimensional plotting features similar to those commonly available in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Embedded C code speeds algorithms from computational geometry, such as finding polygons that contain specified point events or converting between longitude-latitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Additionally, we include C++ code developed by Angus Johnson for the Clipper library, data for a global shoreline, and other data sets in the public domain. Under the user's R library directory .libPaths()', specifically in ./PBSmapping/doc', a complete user's guide is offered and should be consulted to use package functions effectively.

Considering the singly imputed synthetic data generated via plug-in sampling under the multivariate normal model, draws inference procedures including the generalized variance, the sphericity test, the test for independence between two subsets of variables, and the test for the regression of one set of variables on the other. For more details see Klein et al. (2021) <doi:10.1007/s13571-019-00215-9>.

This package provides tools for exploratory process data analysis. Process data refers to the data describing participants problem-solving processes in computer-based assessments. It is often recorded in computer log files. This package provides functions to read, process, and write process data. It also implements two feature extraction methods to compress the information stored in process data into standard numerical vectors. This package also provides recurrent neural network based models that relate response processes with other binary or scale variables of interest. The functions that involve training and evaluating neural networks are wrappers of functions in keras'.
