Leading/lagging a panel, creating dummy variables, taking panel differences, looking for panel autocorrelations, and more. Implemented via a data.table back end.

This package provides a bunch of convenience functions that transform the results of some basic statistical analyses into table format nearly ready for publication. This includes descriptive tables, tables of logistic regression and Cox regression results as well as forest plots.

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.

Fit calibrations curves for clinical prediction models and calculate several associated metrics (Eavg, E50, E90, Emax). Ideally predicted probabilities from a prediction model should align with observed probabilities. Calibration curves relate predicted probabilities (or a transformation thereof) to observed outcomes via a flexible non-linear smoothing function. pmcalibration allows users to choose between several smoothers (regression splines, generalized additive models/GAMs, lowess, loess). Both binary and time-to-event outcomes are supported. See Van Calster et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2015.12.005>; Austin and Steyerberg (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8281>; Austin et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8570>.

This package provides functions for constructing dashboards for business process monitoring. Building on the event log objects class from package bupaR'. Allows the use to assemble custom shiny dashboards based on process data.

This package provides a package for selecting the most relevant features (genes) in the high-dimensional binary classification problems. The discriminative features are identified using analyzing the overlap between the expression values across both classes. The package includes functions for measuring the proportional overlapping score for each gene avoiding the outliers effect. The used measure for the overlap is the one defined in the "Proportional Overlapping Score (POS)" technique for feature selection. A gene mask which represents a gene's classification power can also be produced for each gene (feature). The set size of the selected genes might be set by the user. The minimum set of genes that correctly classify the maximum number of the given tissue samples (observations) can be also produced.

This package implements conjugate power priors for efficient Bayesian analysis of normal data. Power priors allow principled incorporation of historical information while controlling the degree of borrowing through a discounting parameter (Ibrahim and Chen (2000) <doi:10.1214/ss/1009212519>). This package provides closed-form conjugate representations for both univariate and multivariate normal data using Normal-Inverse-Chi-squared and Normal-Inverse-Wishart distributions, eliminating the need for MCMC sampling. The conjugate framework builds upon standard Bayesian methods described in Gelman et al. (2013, ISBN:978-1439840955).

Based on different statistical definitions of discrimination, several methods have been proposed to detect and mitigate social inequality in machine learning models. This package aims to provide an alternative to fairness treatment in predictive models. The ROC method implemented in this package is described by Kamiran, Karim and Zhang (2012) <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6413831/>.

In a typical protein labelling procedure, proteins are chemically tagged with a functional group, usually at specific sites, then digested into peptides, which are then analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization - time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to generate peptide fingerprint. Relative to the control, peptides that are heavier by the mass of the labelling group are informative for sequence determination. Searching for peptides with such mass shifts, however, can be difficult. This package, designed to tackle this inconvenience, takes as input the mass list of two or multiple MALDI-TOF MS mass lists, and makes pairwise comparisons between the labeled groups vs. control, and restores centroid mass spectra with highlighted peaks of interest for easier visual examination. Particularly, peaks differentiated by the mass of the labelling group are defined as a â pairâ , those with equal masses as a â matchâ , and all the other peaks as a â mismatchâ .For more bioanalytical background information, refer to following publications: Jingjing Deng (2015) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-2550-6_19>; Elizabeth Chang (2016) <doi:10.7171/jbt.16-2702-002>.

This package provides functions to estimate the size-controlled phenotypic integration index, a novel method by Torices & Méndez (2014) <doi:10.1086/676622> to solve problems due to individual size when estimating integration (namely, larger individuals have larger components, which will drive a correlation between components only due to resource availability that might obscure the observed measures of integration). In addition, the package also provides the classical estimation by Wagner (1984) <doi:10.1007/BF00275224>, bootstrapping and jackknife methods to calculate confidence intervals and a significance test for both integration indices. Further details can be found in Torices & Muñoz-Pajares <doi:10.3732/apps.1400104>.

Pattern Sequence Based Forecasting (PSF) takes univariate time series data as input and assist to forecast its future values. This algorithm forecasts the behavior of time series based on similarity of pattern sequences. Initially, clustering is done with the labeling of samples from database. The labels associated with samples are then used for forecasting the future behaviour of time series data. The further technical details and references regarding PSF are discussed in Vignette.

Extends the Heckman selection framework to panel data with individual random effects. The first stage models participation via a panel Probit specification, while the second stage can take a panel linear, Probit, Poisson, or Poisson log-normal form. Model details are provided in Bailey and Peng (2025) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.5475626> and Peng and Van den Bulte (2024) <doi:10.1287/mnsc.2019.01897>.

Classification based analysis of DNA sequences to taxonomic groupings. This package primarily implements Naive Bayesian Classifier from the Ribosomal Database Project. This approach has traditionally been used to classify 16S rRNA gene sequences to bacterial taxonomic outlines; however, it can be used for any type of gene sequence. The method was originally described by Wang, Garrity, Tiedje, and Cole in Applied and Environmental Microbiology 73(16):5261-7 <doi:10.1128/AEM.00062-07>. The package also provides functions to read in FASTA'-formatted sequence data.

Efficient calculation of pseudo-ranks and (pseudo)-rank based test statistics. In case of equal sample sizes, pseudo-ranks and mid-ranks are equal. When used for inference mid-ranks may lead to paradoxical results. Pseudo-ranks are in general not affected by such a problem. See Happ et al. (2020, <doi:10.18637/jss.v095.c01>) for details.

Permutation (randomisation) test for single-case phase design data with two phases (e.g., pre- and post-treatment). Correction for dependency of observations is done through stepwise resampling the time series while varying the distance between observations. The required distance 0,1,2,3.. is determined based on repeated dependency testing while stepwise increasing the distance. In preparation: Vroegindeweij et al. "A Permutation distancing test for single-case observational AB phase design data: A Monte Carlo simulation study".

The perturbR() function incrementally perturbs network edges (using the rewireR function)and compares the resulting community detection solutions from the rewired networks with the solution found for the original network. These comparisons aid in understanding the stability of the original solution. The package requires symmetric, weighted (specifically, count) matrices/networks.

The goal of pak is to make package installation faster and more reliable. In particular, it performs all HTTP operations in parallel, so metadata resolution and package downloads are fast. Metadata and package files are cached on the local disk as well. pak has a dependency solver, so it finds version conflicts before performing the installation. This version of pak supports CRAN, Bioconductor and GitHub packages as well.
