We implement an adaptation of Jiang & Zeng's (1995) <doi:10.1093/genetics/140.3.1111> likelihood ratio test for testing the null hypothesis of pleiotropy against the alternative hypothesis, two separate quantitative trait loci. The test differs from that in Jiang & Zeng (1995) and that in Tian et al. (2016) <doi:10.1534/genetics.115.183624> in that our test accommodates multiparental populations.

This package provides a sigmoidal quantile function estimator based on a newly defined generalized expectile function. The generalized sigmoidal quantile function can estimate quantiles beyond the range of the data, which is important for certain applications given smaller sample sizes. The package is based on the method introduced in Hutson (2024) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2022.2032161>.

Quasi-Cauchy quantile regression, proposed by de Oliveira, Ospina, Leiva, Figueroa-Zuniga and Castro (2023) <doi:10.3390/fractalfract7090667>. This regression model is useful for the case where you want to model data of a nature limited to the intervals [0,1], (0,1], [0,1) or (0,1) and you want to use a quantile approach.

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.

Function that implements the Quantum Genetic Algorithm, first proposed by Han and Kim in 2000. This is an R implementation of the python application developed by Lahoz-Beltra (<https://github.com/ResearchCodesHub/QuantumGeneticAlgorithms>). Each optimization problem is represented as a maximization one, where each solution is a sequence of (qu)bits. Following the quantum paradigm, these qubits are in a superposition state: when measuring them, they collapse in a 0 or 1 state. After measurement, the fitness of the solution is calculated as in usual genetic algorithms. The evolution at each iteration is oriented by the application of two quantum gates to the amplitudes of the qubits: (1) a rotation gate (always); (2) a Pauli-X gate (optionally). The rotation is based on the theta angle values: higher values allow a quicker evolution, and lower values avoid local maxima. The Pauli-X gate is equivalent to the classical mutation operator and determines the swap between alfa and beta amplitudes of a given qubit. The package has been developed in such a way as to permit a complete separation between the engine, and the particular problem subject to combinatorial optimization.

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.

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.

Conduct multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping under the framework of random-QTL-effect linear mixed model. 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 are viewed as potential QTL, all the effects of the potential QTL are included in a multi-QTL model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes in doubled haploid population or by adaptive lasso in F2 population, and true QTL are identified by likelihood radio test.
