Seamless extraction of river networks from digital elevation models data. The package allows analysis of digital elevation models that can be either externally provided or downloaded from open source repositories (thus interfacing with the elevatr package). Extraction is performed via the D8 flow direction algorithm of TauDEM (Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models), thus interfacing with the traudem package. Resulting river networks are compatible with functions from the OCNet package. See Carraro (2023) <doi:10.5194/hess-27-3733-2023> for a presentation of the package.

An implementation to compute an optimal dose escalation rule using deep reinforcement learning in phase I oncology trials (Matsuura et al. (2023) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2023.2170402>). The dose escalation rule can directly optimize the percentages of correct selection (PCS) of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Generation of Box-Cox based ROC curves and several aspects of inferences and hypothesis testing. Can be used when inferences for one biomarker (Bantis LE, Nakas CT, Reiser B. (2018)<doi:10.1002/bimj.201700107>) are of interest or when comparisons of two correlated biomarkers (Bantis LE, Nakas CT, Reiser B. (2021)<doi:10.1002/bimj.202000128>) are of interest. Provides inferences and comparisons around the AUC, the Youden index, the sensitivity at a given specificity level (and vice versa), the optimal operating point of the ROC curve (in the Youden sense), and the Youden based cutoff.

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>.

An implementation of the QUEFTS (Quantitative Evaluation of the Native Fertility of Tropical Soils) model. The model (1) estimates native nutrient (N, P, K) supply of soils from a few soil chemical properties; and (2) computes crop yield given that supply, crop parameters, fertilizer application, and crop attainable yield. See Janssen et al. (1990) <doi:10.1016/0016-7061(90)90021-Z> for the technical details and Sattari et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.fcr.2013.12.005> for a recent evaluation and improvements.

This package provides tools for working with rotational data, including simulation from the most commonly used distributions on SO(3), methods for different Bayes, mean and median type estimators for the central orientation of a sample, confidence/credible regions for the central orientation based on those estimators and a novel visualization technique for rotation data.

The rema package implements a permutation-based approach for binary meta-analyses of 2x2 tables, founded on conditional logistic regression, that provides more reliable statistical tests when heterogeneity is observed in rare event data (Zabriskie et al. 2021 <doi:10.1002/sim.9142>). To adjust for the effect of heterogeneity, this method conditions on the sufficient statistic of a proxy for the heterogeneity effect as opposed to estimating the heterogeneity variance. While this results in the model not strictly falling under the random-effects framework, it is akin to a random-effects approach in that it assumes differences in variability due to treatment. Further, this method does not rely on large-sample approximations or continuity corrections for rare event data. This method uses the permutational distribution of the test statistic instead of asymptotic approximations for inference. The number of observed events drives the computation complexity for creating this permutational distribution. Accordingly, for this method to be computationally feasible, it should only be applied to meta-analyses with a relatively low number of observed events. To create this permutational distribution, a network algorithm, based on the work of Mehta et al. (1992) <doi:10.2307/1390598> and Corcoran et al. (2001) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341x.2001.00941.x>, is employed using C++ and integrated into the package.

R access to the Sequential Monte Carlo Template Classes by Johansen <doi:10.18637/jss.v030.i06> is provided. At present, four additional examples have been added, and the first example from the JSS paper has been extended. Further integration and extensions are planned.

Regularized (polychotomous) logistic regression by Gibbs sampling. The package implements subtly different MCMC schemes with varying efficiency depending on the data type (binary v. binomial, say) and the desired estimator (regularized maximum likelihood, or Bayesian maximum a posteriori/posterior mean, etc.) through a unified interface. For details, see Gramacy & Polson (2012 <doi:10.1214/12-BA719>).

The Bayesian modelling of relative sea-level data using a comprehensive approach that incorporates various statistical models within a unifying framework. Details regarding each statistical models; linear regression (Ashe et al 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.10.032>, change point models (Cahill et al 2015) <doi:10.1088/1748-9326/10/8/084002>, integrated Gaussian process models (Cahill et al 2015) <doi:10.1214/15-AOAS824>, temporal splines (Upton et al 2023) <arXiv:2301.09556>, spatio-temporal splines (Upton et al 2023) <arXiv:2301.09556> and generalised additive models (Upton et al 2023) <arXiv:2301.09556>. This package facilitates data loading, model fitting and result summarisation. Notably, it accommodates the inherent measurement errors found in relative sea-level data across multiple dimensions, allowing for their inclusion in the statistical models.

Build regular expressions piece by piece using human readable code. This package contains number-related functionality, and is primarily intended to be used by package developers.

This package provides a framework for estimating ensembles of parametric survival models with different parametric families. The RoBSA framework uses Bayesian model-averaging to combine the competing parametric survival models into a model ensemble, weights the posterior parameter distributions based on posterior model probabilities and uses Bayes factors to test for the presence or absence of the individual predictors or preference for a parametric family (BartoÅ¡, Aust & Haaf, 2022, <doi:10.1186/s12874-022-01676-9>). The user can define a wide range of informative priors for all parameters of interest. The package provides convenient functions for summary, visualizations, fit diagnostics, and prior distribution calibration.
