The main attribute of PopVar is the prediction of genetic variance in bi-parental populations, from which the package derives its name. PopVar contains a set of functions that use phenotypic and genotypic data from a set of candidate parents to 1) predict the mean, genetic variance, and superior progeny value of all, or a defined set of pairwise bi-parental crosses, and 2) perform cross-validation to estimate genome-wide prediction accuracy of multiple statistical models. More details are available in Mohammadi, Tiede, and Smith (2015, <doi:10.2135/cropsci2015.01.0030>). A dataset think_barley.rda is included for reference and examples.

Optimization of conditional inference trees from the package party for classification and regression. For optimization, the model space is searched for the best tree on the full sample by means of repeated subsampling. Restrictions are allowed so that only trees are accepted which do not include pre-specified uninterpretable split results (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021a). The function PrInDT() represents the basic resampling loop for 2-class classification (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021a). The function RePrInDT() (repeated PrInDT()) allows for repeated applications of PrInDT() for different percentages of the observations of the large and the small classes (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021c). The function NesPrInDT() (nested PrInDT()) allows for an extra layer of subsampling for a specific factor variable (cf. Weihs & Buschfeld, 2021b). The functions PrInDTMulev() and PrInDTMulab() deal with multilevel and multilabel classification. In addition to these PrInDT() variants for classification, the function PrInDTreg() has been developed for regression problems. Finally, the function PostPrInDT() allows for a posterior analysis of the distribution of a specified variable in the terminal nodes of a given tree. In version 2, additionally structured sampling is implemented in functions PrInDTCstruc() and PrInDTRstruc(). In these functions, repeated measurements data can be analyzed, too. Moreover, multilabel 2-stage versions of classification and regression trees are implemented in functions C2SPrInDT() and R2SPrInDT() as well as interdependent multilabel models in functions SimCPrInDT() and SimRPrInDT(). Finally, for mixtures of classification and regression models functions Mix2SPrInDT() and SimMixPrInDT() are implemented. Most of these extensions of PrInDT are described in Buschfeld & Weihs (2025Fc). References: -- Buschfeld, S., Weihs, C.

Bayesian variable selection for regression models of under-reported count data as well as for (overdispersed) Poisson, negative binomal and binomial logit regression models using spike and slab priors.

This package provides an object type and associated tools for storing and wrangling panel data. Implements several methods for creating regression models that take advantage of the unique aspects of panel data. Among other capabilities, automates the "within-between" (also known as "between-within" and "hybrid") panel regression specification that combines the desirable aspects of both fixed effects and random effects econometric models and fits them as multilevel models (Allison, 2009 <doi:10.4135/9781412993869.d33>; Bell & Jones, 2015 <doi:10.1017/psrm.2014.7>). These models can also be estimated via generalized estimating equations (GEE; McNeish, 2019 <doi:10.1080/00273171.2019.1602504>) and Bayesian estimation is (optionally) supported via Stan'. Supports estimation of asymmetric effects models via first differences (Allison, 2019 <doi:10.1177/2378023119826441>) as well as a generalized linear model extension thereof using GEE.

Bayesian network learning using the PCHC, FEDHC, MMHC and variants of these algorithms. PCHC stands for PC Hill-Climbing, a new hybrid algorithm that uses PC to construct the skeleton of the BN and then applies the Hill-Climbing greedy search. More algorithms and variants have been added, such as MMHC, FEDHC, and the Tabu search variants, PCTABU, MMTABU and FEDTABU. The relevant papers are: a) Tsagris M. (2021).

This package provides methods for plotting potentially large (raster) images interactively on a plain HTML canvas. In contrast to package mapview data are plotted without background map, but data can be projected to any spatial coordinate reference system. Supports plotting of classes RasterLayer', RasterStack', RasterBrick (from package raster') as well as png files located on disk. Interactivity includes zooming, panning, and mouse location information. In case of multi-layer RasterStacks or RasterBricks', RGB image plots are created (similar to raster::plotRGB - but interactive).

We consider the network structure detection for variables Y with auxiliary variables X accommodated, which are possibly subject to measurement error. The following three functions are designed to address various structures by different methods : one is NP_Graph() that is used for handling the nonlinear relationship between the responses and the covariates, another is Joint_Gaussian() that is used for correction in linear regression models via the Gaussian maximum likelihood, and the other Cond_Gaussian() is for linear regression models via conditional likelihood function.

Identifies differences between versions of a package. Specifically, the functions help determine if there are breaking changes from one package version to the next. The package also includes a stability assessment, to help you determine the overall stability of a package, or even an entire repository.
