This package provides functions for the stratigraphic analysis of phylogenetic trees.

When multiple Cox proportional hazard models are performed on clinical data (month or year and status) and a set of differential expressions of genes, the results (Hazard risks, z-scores and p-values) can be used to create gene-expression signatures. Weights are calculated using the survival p-values of genes and are utilized to calculate expression values of the signature across the selected genes in all patients in a cohort. A Single or multiple univariate or multivariate Cox proportional hazard survival analyses of the patients in one cohort can be performed by using the gene-expression signature and visualized using our survival plots.

Analyse species-habitat associations in R. Therefore, information about the location of the species (as a point pattern) is needed together with environmental conditions (as a categorical raster). To test for significance habitat associations, one of the two components is randomized. Methods are mainly based on Plotkin et al. (2000) <doi:10.1006/jtbi.2000.2158> and Harms et al. (2001) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-2745.2001.00615.x>.

We analyzed the nucleotide composition of genes with a special emphasis on stability of DNA sequences. Besides, in a variety of different organisms unequal use of synonymous codons, or codon usage bias, occurs which also show variation among genes in the same genome. Seemingly, codon usage bias is affected by both selective constraints and mutation bias which allows and enables us to examine and detect changes in these two evolutionary forces between genomes or along one genome. Therefore, we determined the codon adaptation index (CAI), effective number of codons (ENC) and codon usage analysis with calculation of the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), and subsequently predicted the translation efficiency and accuracy through GC-rich codon usages. Furthermore, we estimated the relative stability of the DNA sequence following calculation of the average free energy (Delta G) and Dimer base-stacking energy level.

We provide full functionality to smooth L1 penalized regression operators and to compute regression estimates thereof. For this, the objective function of a user-specified regression operator is first smoothed using Nesterov smoothing (see Y. Nesterov (2005) <doi:10.1007/s10107-004-0552-5>), resulting in a modified objective function with explicit gradients everywhere. The smoothed objective function and its gradient are minimized via BFGS, and the obtained minimizer is returned. Using Nesterov smoothing, the smoothed objective function can be made arbitrarily close to the original (unsmoothed) one. In particular, the Nesterov approach has the advantage that it comes with explicit accuracy bounds, both on the L1/L2 difference of the unsmoothed to the smoothed objective functions as well as on their respective minimizers (see G. Hahn, S.M. Lutz, N. Laha, C. Lange (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.09.17.301788>). A progressive smoothing approach is provided which iteratively smoothes the objective function, resulting in more stable regression estimates. A function to perform cross validation for selection of the regularization parameter is provided.

The straightforward filtering index (SFINX) identifies true positive protein interactions in a fast, user-friendly, and highly accurate way. It is not only useful for the filtering of affinity purification - mass spectrometry (AP-MS) data, but also for similar types of data resulting from other co-complex interactomics technologies, such as TAP-MS, Virotrap and BioID. SFINX can also be used via the website interface at <http://sfinx.ugent.be>.

Standardized accuracy (staccuracy) is a framework for expressing accuracy scores such that 50% represents a reference level of performance and 100% is a perfect prediction. The staccuracy package provides tools for creating staccuracy functions as well as some recommended staccuracy measures. It also provides functions for some classic performance metrics such as mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC), as well as their winsorized versions when applicable.

This package provides a tool for survival analysis using a discrete time approach with ensemble binary classification. spect provides a simple interface consistent with commonly used R data analysis packages, such as caret', a variety of parameter options to help facilitate search automation, a high degree of transparency to the end-user - all intermediate data sets and parameters are made available for further analysis and useful, out-of-the-box visualizations of model performance. Methods for transforming survival data into discrete-time are adapted from the autosurv package by Suresh et al., (2022) <doi:10.1186/s12874-022-01679-6>.

This package performs estimation and inference on a partially missing target outcome (e.g. gene expression in an inaccessible tissue) while borrowing information from a correlated surrogate outcome (e.g. gene expression in an accessible tissue). Rather than regarding the surrogate outcome as a proxy for the target outcome, this package jointly models the target and surrogate outcomes within a bivariate regression framework. Unobserved values of either outcome are treated as missing data. In contrast to imputation-based inference, no assumptions are required regarding the relationship between the target and surrogate outcomes. Estimation in the presence of bilateral outcome missingness is performed via an expectation conditional maximization either algorithm. In the case of unilateral target missingness, estimation is performed using an accelerated least squares procedure. A flexible association test is provided for evaluating hypotheses about the target regression parameters. For additional details, see: McCaw ZR, Gaynor SM, Sun R, Lin X: "Leveraging a surrogate outcome to improve inference on a partially missing target outcome" <doi:10.1111/biom.13629>.

Implementation of the Stochastic Multi-Criteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) family of Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods. Tervonen, T. and Figueira, J. R. (2008) <doi:10.1002/mcda.407>.

This package implements various methods for eliciting a probability distribution for a single parameter from an expert or a group of experts. The expert provides a small number of probability judgements, corresponding to points on his or her cumulative distribution function. A range of parametric distributions can then be fitted and displayed, with feedback provided in the form of fitted probabilities and percentiles. For multiple experts, a weighted linear pool can be calculated. Also includes functions for eliciting beliefs about population distributions; eliciting multivariate distributions using a Gaussian copula; eliciting a Dirichlet distribution; eliciting distributions for variance parameters in a random effects meta-analysis model; survival extrapolation. R Shiny apps for most of the methods are included.

Produce small area population estimates by fitting census data to survey data.

This package provides functions for performing stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) for binary and continuous outcomes and visualizing the results. SSVS is a Bayesian variable selection method used to estimate the probability that individual predictors should be included in a regression model. Using MCMC estimation, the method samples thousands of regression models in order to characterize the model uncertainty regarding both the predictor set and the regression parameters. For details see Bainter, McCauley, Wager, and Losin (2020) Improving practices for selecting a subset of important predictors in psychology: An application to predicting pain, Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science 3(1), 66-80 <DOI:10.1177/2515245919885617>.
