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.

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.

This package provides functions to overview gene-environment relationships, to construct the prediction model, and to predict environmental conditions where the transcriptomes were generated. This package can quest for candidate genes for the model construction even in non-model organisms transcriptomes without any genetic information.

Resources, tutorials, and code snippets dedicated to exploring the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of analyzing Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) lymphocytes and optimizing antiretroviral therapy (ART) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). With the emergence of quantum artificial intelligence and the development of small-scale quantum computers, there's an unprecedented opportunity to revolutionize the understanding of HIV dynamics and treatment strategies. This project leverages the R package qsimulatR (Ostmeyer and Urbach, 2023, <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=qsimulatR>), a quantum computer simulator, to explore these applications in quantum computing techniques, addressing the challenges in studying CD4 lymphocytes and enhancing ART efficacy.

This package implements moving-blocks bootstrap and extended tapered-blocks bootstrap, as well as smooth versions of each, for quantile regression in time series.

This package provides different specifications of a Quadrilateral Dissimilarity Model which can be used to fit same-different judgments in order to get a predicted matrix that satisfies regular minimality [Colonius & Dzhafarov, 2006, Measurement and representations of sensations, Erlbaum]. From such a matrix, Fechnerian distances can be computed.

Generalized eigenvalues and eigenvectors use QZ decomposition (generalized Schur decomposition). The decomposition needs an N-by-N non-symmetric matrix A or paired matrices (A,B) with eigenvalues reordering mechanism. The decomposition functions are mainly based Fortran subroutines in complex*16 and double precision of LAPACK library (version 3.10.0 or later).

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>.

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.

Implementation of the food safety restaurant grading system adopted by Public Health - Seattle & King County (see Ashwood, Z.C., Elias, B., and Ho. D.E. "Improving the Reliability of Food Safety Disclosure: A Quantile Adjusted Restaurant Grading System for Seattle-King County" (working paper)). As reported in the accompanying paper, this package allows jurisdictions to easily implement refinements that address common challenges with unadjusted grading systems. First, in contrast to unadjusted grading, where the most recent single routine inspection is the primary determinant of a grade, grading inputs are allowed to be flexible. For instance, it is straightforward to base the grade on average inspection scores across multiple inspection cycles. Second, the package can identify quantile cutoffs by inputting substantively meaningful regulatory thresholds (e.g., the proportion of establishments receiving sufficient violation points to warrant a return visit). Third, the quantile adjustment equalizes the proportion of establishments in a flexible number of grading categories (e.g., A/B/C) across areas (e.g., ZIP codes, inspector areas) to account for inspector differences. Fourth, the package implements a refined quantile adjustment that addresses two limitations with the stats::quantile() function when applied to inspection score datasets with large numbers of score ties. The quantile adjustment algorithm iterates over quantiles until, over all restaurants in all areas, grading proportions are within a tolerance of desired global proportions. In addition the package allows a modified definition of "quantile" from "Nearest Rank". Instead of requiring that at least p[1]% of restaurants receive the top grade and at least (p[1]+p[2])% of restaurants receive the top or second best grade for quantiles p, the algorithm searches for cutoffs so that as close as possible p[1]% of restaurants receive the top grade, and as close as possible to p[2]% of restaurants receive the second top grade.
