This package implements a novel density-based approach for estimating unknown parameters, distribution visualisations and meta-analyses of quantiles and ther functions. A detailed vignettes with example datasets and code to prepare data and analyses is available at <https://bookdown.org/a2delivera/metaquant/>. The methods are described in the pre-print by De Livera, Prendergast and Kumaranathunga (2024, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2411.10971>).

This package implements a minimum-spanning-tree-based heuristic for k-means clustering using a union-find disjoint set and the algorithm in Kruskal (1956) <doi:10.1090/S0002-9939-1956-0078686-7>.

If results from a meta-GWAS are used for validation in one of the cohorts that was included in the meta-analysis, this will yield biased (i.e. too optimistic) results. The validation cohort needs to be independent from the meta-Genome-Wide-Association-Study (meta-GWAS) results. MetaSubtract will subtract the results of the respective cohort from the meta-GWAS results analytically without having to redo the meta-GWAS analysis using the leave-one-out methodology. It can handle different meta-analyses methods and takes into account if single or double genomic control correction was applied to the original meta-analysis. It can also handle different meta-analysis methods. It can be used for whole GWAS, but also for a limited set of genetic markers. See for application: Nolte I.M. et al. (2017); <doi: 10.1038/ejhg.2017.50>.

Global testing for regression discontinuity designs with more than one running variable. The function cef_disc_test() is used for testing whether there exist non-zero treatment effects along the boundary of the treated region. The function density_disc_test() is used for testing whether there exist discontinuities in the joint density of the running variables along the boundary of the treated region. The methodology follows Samiahulin (2026), "Global Testing for Regression Discontinuity Designs with Multiple Running Variables" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2602.03819>.

Multi-Fidelity emulator for data from computer simulations of the same underlying system but at different input locations and fidelity level, where both the input locations and fidelity level can be continuous. Active Learning can be performed with an implementation of the Integrated Mean Square Prediction Error (IMSPE) criterion developed by Boutelet and Sung (2025, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.23158>).

The stepwise regression with assumptions checking and the possible Box-Cox transformation.

Multivariable fractional polynomial algorithm simultaneously selects variables and functional forms in both generalized linear models and Cox proportional hazard models. Key references are Royston and Altman (1994) <doi:10.2307/2986270> and Royston and Sauerbrei (2008, ISBN:978-0-470-02842-1). In addition, it can model a sigmoid relationship between variable x and an outcome variable y using the approximate cumulative distribution transformation proposed by Royston (2014) <doi:10.1177/1536867X1401400206>. This feature distinguishes it from a standard fractional polynomial function, which lacks the ability to achieve such modeling.

Set of tools for descriptive analysis of metaproteomics data generated from high-throughput mass spectrometry instruments. These tools allow to cluster peptides and proteins abundance, expressed as spectral counts, and to manipulate them in groups of metaproteins. This information can be represented using multiple visualization functions to portray the global metaproteome landscape and to differentiate samples or conditions, in terms of abundance of metaproteins, taxonomic levels and/or functional annotation. The provided tools allow to implement flexible analytical pipelines that can be easily applied to studies interested in metaproteomics analysis.

Fits the Bayesian multinomial probit model via Markov chain Monte Carlo. The multinomial probit model is often used to analyze the discrete choices made by individuals recorded in survey data. Examples where the multinomial probit model may be useful include the analysis of product choice by consumers in market research and the analysis of candidate or party choice by voters in electoral studies. The MNP package can also fit the model with different choice sets for each individual, and complete or partial individual choice orderings of the available alternatives from the choice set. The estimation is based on the efficient marginal data augmentation algorithm that is developed by Imai and van Dyk (2005).

Cooperative learning combines the usual squared error loss of predictions with an agreement penalty to encourage the predictions from different data views to agree. By varying the weight of the agreement penalty, we get a continuum of solutions that include the well-known early and late fusion approaches. Cooperative learning chooses the degree of agreement (or fusion) in an adaptive manner, using a validation set or cross-validation to estimate test set prediction error. In the setting of cooperative regularized linear regression, the method combines the lasso penalty with the agreement penalty (Ding, D., Li, S., Narasimhan, B., Tibshirani, R. (2021) <doi:10.1073/pnas.2202113119>).

This package provides a leadership-inference framework for multivariate time series. The framework for multiple-faction-leadership inference from coordinated activities or mFLICA uses a notion of a leader as an individual who initiates collective patterns that everyone in a group follows. Given a set of time series of individual activities, our goal is to identify periods of coordinated activity, find factions of coordination if more than one exist, as well as identify leaders of each faction. For each time step, the framework infers following relations between individual time series, then identifying a leader of each faction whom many individuals follow but it follows no one. A faction is defined as a group of individuals that everyone follows the same leader. mFLICA reports following relations, leaders of factions, and members of each faction for each time step.
