This package provides methods for statistical analysis of count data and quantal data. For the analysis of count data an implementation of the Closure Principle Computational Approach Test ("CPCAT") is provided (Lehmann, R et al. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00477-015-1079-4>), as well as an implementation of a "Dunnett GLM" approach using a Quasi-Poisson regression (Hothorn, L, Kluxen, F (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.01.15.907881>). For the analysis of quantal data an implementation of the Closure Principle Fisherâ Freemanâ Halton test ("CPFISH") is provided (Lehmann, R et al. (2018) <doi:10.1007/s00477-017-1392-1>). P-values and no/lowest observed (adverse) effect concentration values are calculated. All implemented methods include further functions to evaluate the power and the minimum detectable difference using a bootstrapping approach.

An implementation of Quantitative Fatty Acid Signature Analysis (QFASA) in R. QFASA is a method of estimating the diet composition of predators. The fundamental unit of information in QFASA is a fatty acid signature (signature), which is a vector of proportions describing the composition of fatty acids within lipids. Signature data from at least one predator and from samples of all potential prey types are required. Calibration coefficients, which adjust for the differential metabolism of individual fatty acids by predators, are also required. Given those data inputs, a predator signature is modeled as a mixture of prey signatures and its diet estimate is obtained as the mixture that minimizes a measure of distance between the observed and modeled signatures. A variety of estimation options and simulation capabilities are implemented. Please refer to the vignette for additional details and references.

This package implements Q-Learning, a model-free form of reinforcement learning, described in work by Strehl, Li, Wiewiora, Langford & Littman (2006) <doi:10.1145/1143844.1143955>.

For fitting N-mixture models using either FFT or asymptotic approaches. FFT N-mixture models extend the work of Cowen et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12701>. Asymptotic N-mixture models extend the work of Dail and Madsen (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2010.01465.x>, to consider asymptotic solutions to the open population N-mixture models. The FFT models are derived and described in "Parker, M.R.P., Elliott, L., Cowen, L.L.E. (2022). Computational efficiency and precision for replicated-count and batch-marked hidden population models [Manuscript in preparation]. Department of Statistics and Actuarial Sciences, Simon Fraser University.". The asymptotic models are derived and described in: "Parker, M.R.P., Elliott, L., Cowen, L.L.E., Cao, J. (2022). Fast asymptotic solutions for N-mixtures on large populations [Manuscript in preparation]. Department of Statistics and Actuarial Sciences, Simon Fraser University.".

This package provides tools for an automated identification of diagnostic molecular characters, i.e. such columns in a given nucleotide or amino acid alignment that allow to distinguish taxa from each other. These characters can then be used to complement the formal descriptions of the taxa, which are often based on morphological and anatomical features. Especially for morphologically cryptic species, this will be helpful. QUIDDICH distinguishes between four different types of diagnostic characters. For more information, see "Kuehn, A.L., Haase, M. 2019. QUIDDICH: QUick IDentification of DIagnostic CHaracters.".

Both native and third-party (plugin) processing providers are supported. Beside referring data sources from file, also common objects from sf', terra and stars are supported. The native processing algorithms are documented by QGIS.org (2024) <https://docs.qgis.org/latest/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/>.

This package provides a re-implementation of quantile kriging. Quantile kriging was described by Plumlee and Tuo (2014) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2013.860919>. With computational savings when dealing with replication from the recent paper by Binois, Gramacy, and Ludovski (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1458625> it is now possible to apply quantile kriging to a wider class of problems. In addition to fitting the model, other useful tools are provided such as the ability to automatically perform leave-one-out cross validation.

Given a dataset, the user is invited to utilize the Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function (ECDF) to guess interactively the mean and the mean deviation. Thereafter, using the quadratic curve the user can guess the Root Mean Squared Deviation (RMSD) and visualize the standard deviation (SD). For details, see Sarkar and Rashid (2019)<doi:10.3126/njs.v3i0.25574>, Have You Seen the Standard Deviaton?, Nepalese Journal of Statistics, Vol. 3, 1-10.

This package provides a set of functions for taking qualitative GIS data, hand drawn on a map, and converting it to a simple features object. These tools are focused on data that are drawn on a map that contains some type of polygon features. For each area identified on the map, the id numbers of these polygons can be entered as vectors and transformed using qualmap.

Evaluates moments of ratios (and products) of quadratic forms in normal variables, specifically using recursive algorithms developed by Bao and Kan (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2013.03.002> and Hillier et al. (2014) <doi:10.1017/S0266466613000364>. Also provides distribution, quantile, and probability density functions of simple ratios of quadratic forms in normal variables with several algorithms. Originally developed as a supplement to Watanabe (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00285-023-01930-8> for evaluating average evolvability measures in evolutionary quantitative genetics, but can be used for a broader class of statistics. Generating functions for these moments are also closely related to the top-order zonal and invariant polynomials of matrix arguments.
