This package provides functions for quickly writing (and reading back) a data.frame to file in SQLite format. The name stands for *Store Tables using SQLite'*, or alternatively for *Quick Store Tables* (either way, it could be pronounced as *Quest*). For data.frames containing the supported data types it is intended to work as a drop-in replacement for the write_*() and read_*() functions provided by similar packages.

This package provides statistical components, tables, and graphs that are useful in Quarto and RMarkdown reports and that produce Quarto elements for special formatting such as tabs and marginal notes and graphs. Some of the functions produce entire report sections with tabs, e.g., the missing data report created by missChk(). Functions for inserting variables and tables inside graphviz and mermaid diagrams are included, and so are special clinical trial graphics for adverse event reporting.

This package provides functions for estimating the potential dispersal of tree species using regeneration densities and dispersal distances to nearest seed trees. A quantile regression is implemented to determine the dispersal potential. Spatial prediction can be used to identify natural regeneration potential for forest restoration as described in Axer et al (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118802>.

Implementations of the quantile slice sampler of Heiner et al. (2024+, in preparation) as well as other popular slice samplers are provided. Helper functions for specifying pseudo-target distributions are included, both for diagnostics and for tuning the quantile slice sampler. Other implemented methods include the generalized elliptical slice sampler of Nishihara et al. (2014)<https://jmlr.org/papers/v15/nishihara14a.html

Nomograms are constructed to predict the cumulative incidence rate which is calculated after adjusting for competing causes to the event of interest. K-fold cross-validation is implemented to validate predictive accuracy using a competing-risk version of the concordance index. Methods are as described in: Kattan MW, Heller G, Brennan MF (2003).

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.

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.

This package provides functions to manipulate dates and count days for quantitative finance analysis. The quantdates package considers leap, holidays and business days for relevant calendars in a financial context to simplify quantitative finance calculations, consistent with International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) (2006) <https://www.isda.org/book/2006-isda-definitions/> regulations.

(2011) <doi:10.1038/nprot.2011.335>. The optimisation of LOESS's span parameter using generalized cross-validation (GCV) is provided as an option. In addition to signal correction, qcrlscR includes some utility functions like batch shifting and data filtering.

This package provides functions to calculate Average Sample Numbers (ASN), Average Run Length (ARL1) and value of k, k1 and k2 for quality control charts under repetitive sampling as given in Aslam et al. (2014) (<DOI:10.7232/iems.2014.13.1.101>).

This package provides a copula-based measure for quantifying asymmetry in dependence and associations. Documentation and theory about qad is provided by the paper by Junker, Griessenberger & Trutschnig (2021, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2020.107058>), and the paper by Trutschnig (2011, <doi:10.1016/j.jmaa.2011.06.013>).

The QRI_func() function performs quantile regression analysis using age and sex as predictors to calculate the Quantile Regression Index (QRI) score for each individualâ s regional brain imaging metrics and then averages across the regional scores to generate an average tissue specific score for each subject. The QRI_plot() is used to plot QRI and generate the normative curves for individual measurements.

Developed to perform the estimation and inference for regression coefficient parameters in longitudinal marginal models using the method of quadratic inference functions. Like generalized estimating equations, this method is also a quasi-likelihood inference method. It has been showed that the method gives consistent estimators of the regression coefficients even if the correlation structure is misspecified, and it is more efficient than GEE when the correlation structure is misspecified. Based on Qu, A., Lindsay, B.G. and Li, B. (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.4.823>.

This package implements the robust algorithm for fitting finite mixture models based on quantile regression proposed by Emir et al., 2017 (unpublished).

The quantity-intensity (Q/I) relationships, first introduced by Beckett (1964), can be employed to assess the K supplying capacity of different soils based on solid-solution exchange equilibria. Such relationships describe the changes in K+ concentration in the soil solution (or the intensity factor) in relation to the corresponding changes in K+ at exchange sites of the soil (or the capacity or quantity factor). Activity ratio of K to Ca or Ca+Mg is generally used as the variable denoting the intensity, whereas, change in exchangeable K is used to denote the quantity factor.

This package provides several methods for computing the Quantile Treatment Effect (QTE) and Quantile Treatment Effect on the Treated (QTT). The main cases covered are (i) Treatment is randomly assigned, (ii) Treatment is as good as randomly assigned after conditioning on some covariates (also called conditional independence or selection on observables) using the methods developed in Firpo (2007) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2007.00738.x>, (iii) Identification is based on a Difference in Differences assumption (several varieties are available in the package e.g. Athey and Imbens (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2006.00668.x> Callaway and Li (2019) <doi:10.3982/QE935>, Callaway, Li, and Oka (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2018.06.008>).

This package provides functionality for working with raster-like quadtrees (also called â region quadtreesâ ), which allow for variable-sized cells. The package allows for flexibility in the quadtree creation process. Several functions defining how to split and aggregate cells are provided, and custom functions can be written for both of these processes. In addition, quadtrees can be created using other quadtrees as â templatesâ , so that the new quadtree's structure is identical to the template quadtree. The package also includes functionality for modifying quadtrees, querying values, saving quadtrees to a file, and calculating least-cost paths using the quadtree as a resistance surface.

This package provides a Quantile Rank-score based test for the identification of expression quantitative trait loci.
