Quantile-based estimators (Q-estimators) can be used to fit any parametric distribution, using its quantile function. Q-estimators are usually more robust than standard maximum likelihood estimators. The method is described in: Sottile G. and Frumento P. (2022). Robust estimation and regression with parametric quantile functions. <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2022.107471>.

This package provides functions for estimating ploidy levels and detecting aneuploidy in individuals using allele intensities or allele count data from high-throughput genotyping platforms, including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays and sequencing-based technologies. Implements an extended version of the PennCNV signal standardization method by Wang et al. (2007) <doi:10.1101/gr.6861907> for higher ploidy levels. Computes B-allele frequencies (BAF), z-scores, and identifies copy number variation patterns.

Conduct multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) and QTL-by-environment interaction (QEI) mapping via ordinary or compressed variance component mixed models with random- or fixed QTL/QEI effects. First, each position on the genome is detected in order to obtain a negative logarithm P-value curve against genome position. Then, all the peaks on each effect (additive or dominant) curve or on each locus curve are viewed as potential main-effect QTLs and QEIs, all their effects are included in a multi-locus model, their effects are estimated by both least angle regression and empirical Bayes (or adaptive lasso) in backcross and F2 populations, and true QTLs and QEIs are identified by likelihood radio test. See Zhou et al. (2022) <doi:10.1093/bib/bbab596> and Wen et al. (2018) <doi:10.1093/bib/bby058>.

Accurate estimates of the diets of predators are required in many areas of ecology, but for many species current methods are imprecise, limited to the last meal, and often biased. The diversity of fatty acids and their patterns in organisms, coupled with the narrow limitations on their biosynthesis, properties of digestion in monogastric animals, and the prevalence of large storage reservoirs of lipid in many predators, led to the development of quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA) to study predator diets.

The NOT functions, R tricks and a compilation of some simple quick plus often used R codes to improve your scripts. Improve the quality and reproducibility of R scripts.

The computation of quadratic form (QF) distributions is often not trivial and it requires numerical routines. The package contains functions aimed at evaluating the exact distribution of quadratic forms (QFs) and ratios of QFs. In particular, we propose to evaluate density, quantile and distribution functions of positive definite QFs and ratio of independent positive QFs by means of an algorithm based on the numerical inversion of Mellin transforms.

Execute multi-step SQL workflows by leveraging specially formatted comments to define and control execution. This enables users to mix queries, commands, and metadata within a single script. Results are returned as named objects for use in downstream workflows.

An implementation of dimension reduction techniques for conditional quantiles. Nonparametric estimation of conditional quantiles is also available.

This package provides prediction intervals for classical homoscedastic autoregressive models (AR(p)) and quantile autoregressive models (QAR(p)). The package implements percentile-based and predictive-root-based bootstrap procedures for constructing multi-step-ahead prediction intervals.

This package produces quality scores for each of the US companies from the Russell 3000, following the approach described in "Quality Minus Junk" (Asness, Frazzini, & Pedersen, 2013) <http://www.aqr.com/library/working-papers/quality-minus-junk>. The package includes datasets for users who wish to view the most recently uploaded quality scores. It also provides tools to automatically gather relevant financials and stock price information, allowing users to update their data and customize their universe for further analysis.

This package implements the Quantile Composite-based Path Modeling approach (Davino and Vinzi, 2016 <doi:10.1007/s11634-015-0231-9>; Dolce et al., 2021 <doi:10.1007/s11634-021-00469-0>). The method complements the traditional PLS Path Modeling approach, analyzing the entire distribution of outcome variables and, therefore, overcoming the classical exploration of only average effects. It exploits quantile regression to investigate changes in the relationships among constructs and between constructs and observed variables.

Included control charts are: I, MR, Xbar, S, T, C, U, U', P, P', and G charts. Non-random variation in the form of minor to moderate persistent shifts in data over time is identified by the Anhoej rules for unusually long runs and unusually few crossing [Anhoej, Olesen (2014) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0113825>]. Non-random variation in the form of larger, possibly transient, shifts is identified by Shewhart's 3-sigma rule [Mohammed, Worthington, Woodall (2008) <doi:10.1136/qshc.2004.012047>].
