This package provides a pair of functions for calculating mean residual life (MRL) , median residual life, and percentile residual life using the outputs of either the flexsurv package or parameters provided by the user. Input information about the distribution, the given life value, the percentile, and the type of residual life, and the function will return your desired values. For the flexsurv option, the function allows the user to input their own data for making predictions. This function is based on Jackson (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i08>.

This package performs robust and sparse correlation matrix estimation. Robustness is achieved based on a simple robust pairwise correlation estimator, while sparsity is obtained based on thresholding. The optimal thresholding is tuned via cross-validation. See Serra, Coretto, Fratello and Tagliaferri (2018) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx642>.

Some heavily used base R functions are reconstructed to also be compliant to data.table objects. Also, some general helper functions that could be of interest for working with data.table objects are included.

This package provides a user-friendly interface for managing PostgreSQL database connection settings. The package supplies helper functions to create, edit and load connection and option configuration files stored in a user-specific directory using the odbc and RPostgres back ends. These helpers make it easy to construct a reproducible connection string from a configuration file, either by reading user-defined YAML files or by parsing an environment variable.

Suite of tools for using D3', a library for producing dynamic, interactive data visualizations. Supports translating objects into D3 friendly data structures, rendering D3 scripts, publishing D3 visualizations, incorporating D3 in R Markdown, creating interactive D3 applications with Shiny, and distributing D3 based htmlwidgets in R packages.

Calculates robust Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) and robust F-Beta Scores, as introduced by Holzmann and Klar (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.07661>. These performance metrics are designed for imbalanced classification problems. Plots the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) together with the recall / 1-precision curve.

An algorithm is proposed to estimate regression kink model proposed by the paper, Lixiong Yang and Jen-Je Su (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.jimonfin.2018.06.002>.

Robust tests (RW, RPB and RGF) are provided for testing the equality of several long-tailed symmetric (LTS) means when the variances are unknown and arbitrary. RW, RPB and RGF tests are robust versions of Welch's F test proposed by Welch (1951) <doi:10.2307/2332579>, parametric bootstrap test proposed by Krishnamoorthy et. al (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2006.09.039>; and generalized F test proposed by Weerahandi (1995) <doi:10.2307/2532947>;, respectively. These tests are based on the modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimators proposed by Tiku(1967, 1968) <doi:10.2307/2333859>, <doi:10.1080/01621459.1968.11009228>.

Interface to the Dryad "Solr" API, their "OAI-PMH" service, and fetch datasets. Dryad (<https://datadryad.org/>) is a curated host of data underlying scientific publications.

Create, Plot and Compare Replication Timing Profiles. The method is described in Muller et al., (2014) <doi: 10.1093/nar/gkt878>.

Generate random user data from the Random User Generator API. For more information, see <https://randomuser.me/>.

Converting ascii text into (floating-point) numeric values is a very common problem. The fast_float header-only C++ library by Daniel Lemire does it very well and very fast at up to or over to 1 gigabyte per second as described in more detail in <doi:10.1002/spe.2984>. fast_float is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license and provided here for use by other R packages via a simple LinkingTo: statement.

Visualizations to explain the results of a topological data analysis. The goal of topological data analysis is to identify persistent topological structures, such as loops (topological circles) and voids (topological spheres), in data sets. The output of an analysis using the TDA package is a Rips diagram (named after the mathematician Eliyahu Rips). The goal of RPointCloud is to fill in these holes in the data by providing tools to visualize the features that help explain the structures found in the Rips diagram. See McGee and colleagues (2024) <doi:10.1101/2024.05.16.593927>.

An interface to the software package MARK that constructs input files for MARK and extracts the output. MARK was developed by Gary White and is freely available at <http://www.phidot.org/software/mark/downloads/> but is not open source.

Range Modeling Metadata Standards (RMMS) address three challenges: they (i) are designed for convenience to encourage use, (ii) accommodate a wide variety of applications, and (iii) are extensible to allow the community of range modelers to steer it as needed. RMMS are based on a data dictionary that specifies a hierarchical structure to catalog different aspects of the range modeling process. The dictionary balances a constrained, minimalist vocabulary to improve standardization with flexibility for users to provide their own values. Merow et al. (2019) <DOI:10.1111/geb.12993> describe the standards in more detail. Note that users who prefer to use the R package ecospat can obtain it from <https://github.com/ecospat/ecospat>.

Defines classes and methods to process text-based cytogenetics using the CytoGPS web site, then import the results into R for further analysis and graphing.

We implement a test of the rational expectations hypothesis based on the marginal distributions of realizations and subjective beliefs from D'Haultfoeuille, Gaillac, and Maurel (2018) <doi:10.3386/w25274>. This test can be used in cases where realizations and subjective beliefs are observed in two different datasets that cannot be matched, or when they are observed in the same dataset. The package also computes the estimator of the minimal deviations from rational expectations than can be rationalized by the data.

This package provides functions and examples for testing hypothesis about the population mean and variance on samples drawn by r-size biased sampling schemes.

Data driven approach for robust regression estimation in homoscedastic and heteroscedastic context. See Wang et al. (2007), <doi:10.1198/106186007X180156> regarding homoscedastic framework.

An R command interface to the MLwiN multilevel modelling software package.

Allows wrapping values in success() and failure() types to capture the result of operations, along with any status codes. Risky expressions can be wrapped in as_result() and functions wrapped in result() to catch errors and assign the relevant result types. Monadic functions can be bound together as pipelines or transaction scripts using then_try(), to gracefully handle errors at any step.

For a sequence of event occurence times, we are interested in finding subsequences in it that are too "regular". We define regular as being significantly different from a homogeneous Poisson process. The departure from the Poisson process is measured using a L1 distance. See Di and Perlman 2007 for more details.

Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union and provides high quality statistics for Europe. Large set of the data is disseminated through the Eurostat database (<https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/main/data/database>). The tools are using the REST API with the Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) Web Services (<https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/user-guides/data-browser/api-data-access/api-detailed-guidelines/sdmx2-1>) to search and download data from the Eurostat database using the SDMX standard.
