For the detailed description of the methodology, see Zhang (2022) "Power and Sample Size Computation for Genetic Association Studies of Binary Traits: Accounting for Covariate Effects" <arXiv:2203.15641>.

This package provides a set of tools dedicated to modeling food web transfer based on an initial ground raster. It provides a directed acyclic graph structure for a set of rasters representing the flow of elements (e.g., food, energy, contaminants). It also includes tools for working with dispersal algorithms, enabling the combination of flux data with population movement.

This package provides an implementation of the Sparse ICA method in Wang et al. (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2370593> for estimating sparse independent source components of cortical surface functional MRI data, by addressing a non-smooth, non-convex optimization problem through the relax-and-split framework. This method effectively balances statistical independence and sparsity while maintaining computational efficiency.

Perform spatial analysis on network. Implement several methods for spatial analysis on network: Network Kernel Density estimation, building of spatial matrices based on network distance ('listw objects from spdep package), K functions estimation for point pattern analysis on network, k nearest neighbours on network, reachable area calculation, and graph generation References: Okabe et al (2019) <doi:10.1080/13658810802475491>; Okabe et al (2012, ISBN:978-0470770818);Baddeley et al (2015, ISBN:9781482210200).

This package provides tools for obtaining, processing, and visualizing spectral reflectance data for the user-defined land or water surface classes for visual exploring in which wavelength the classes differ. Input should be a shapefile with polygons of surface classes (it might be different habitat types, crops, vegetation, etc.). The Sentinel-2 L2A satellite mission optical bands pixel data are obtained through the Google Earth Engine service (<https://earthengine.google.com/>) and used as a source of spectral data.

This package implements SplitWise', a hybrid regression approach that transforms numeric variables into either single-split (0/1) dummy variables or retains them as continuous predictors. The transformation is followed by stepwise selection to identify the most relevant variables. The default iterative mode adaptively explores partial synergies among variables to enhance model performance, while an alternative univariate mode applies simpler transformations independently to each predictor. For details, see Kurbucz et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.15423>.

Calculate the statistical power to detect clusters using kernel-based spatial relative risk functions that are estimated using the sparr package. Details about the sparr package methods can be found in the tutorial: Davies et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7577>. Details about kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1990) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780090616>. More information about relative risk functions using kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1991) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780101112>.

The Mass Spec Query Language (MassQL) is a domain-specific language enabling to express a query and retrieve mass spectrometry (MS) data in a more natural and understandable way for MS users. It is inspired by SQL and is by design programming language agnostic. The SpectraQL package adds support for the MassQL query language to R, in particular to MS data represented by Spectra objects. Users can thus apply MassQL expressions to analyze and retrieve specific data from Spectra objects.

This package implements the routines and algorithms developed and analysed in "Multiple Systems Estimation for Sparse Capture Data: Inferential Challenges when there are Non-Overlapping Lists" Chan, L, Silverman, B. W., Vincent, K (2019) <arXiv:1902.05156>. This package explicitly handles situations where there are pairs of lists which have no observed individuals in common. It deals correctly with parameters whose estimated values can be considered as being negative infinity. It also addresses other possible issues of non-existence and non-identifiability of maximum likelihood estimates.

Spatial forecast verification refers to verifying weather forecasts when the verification set (forecast and observations) is on a spatial field, usually a high-resolution gridded spatial field. Most of the functions here require the forecast and observed fields to be gridded and on the same grid. For a thorough review of most of the methods in this package, please see Gilleland et al. (2009) <doi: 10.1175/2009WAF2222269.1> and for a tutorial on some of the main functions available here, see Gilleland (2022) <doi: 10.5065/4px3-5a05>.

SpotClean is a computational method to adjust for spot swapping in spatial transcriptomics data. Recent spatial transcriptomics experiments utilize slides containing thousands of spots with spot-specific barcodes that bind mRNA. Ideally, unique molecular identifiers at a spot measure spot-specific expression, but this is often not the case due to bleed from nearby spots, an artifact we refer to as spot swapping. SpotClean is able to estimate the contamination rate in observed data and decontaminate the spot swapping effect, thus increase the sensitivity and precision of downstream analyses.

This package provides interface to the Spectator Earth API <https://api.spectator.earth/>, mainly for obtaining the acquisition plans and satellite overpasses for Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat-8 and Landsat-9 satellites. Current position and trajectory can also be obtained for a much larger set of satellites. It is also possible to search the archive for available images over the area of interest for a given (past) period, get the URL links to download the whole image tiles, or alternatively to download the image for just the area of interest based on selected spectral bands.

This package implements the algorithm described in Barron, M., and Li, J. (Not yet published). This algorithm clusters samples from multiple ordered populations, links the clusters across the conditions and identifies marker genes for these changes. The package was designed for scRNA-Seq data but is also applicable to many other data types, just replace cells with samples and genes with variables. The package also contains functions for estimating the parameters for SparseMDC as outlined in the paper. We recommend that users further select their marker genes using the magnitude of the cluster centers.

Some R functions, such as optim(), require a function of its gradient passed as separate arguments. When these are expensive to calculate it may be much faster to calculate the function (fn) and gradient (gr) together since they often share many calculations (chain rule). This package allows the user to pass in a single function that returns both the function and gradient, then splits (hence splitfngr) them so the results can be accessed separately. The functions provided allow this to be done with any number of functions/values, not just for functions and gradients.

This package creates a wrapper for the SuiteSparse routines that execute the Takahashi equations. These equations compute the elements of the inverse of a sparse matrix at locations where the its Cholesky factor is structurally non-zero. The resulting matrix is known as a sparse inverse subset. Some helper functions are also implemented. Support for spam matrices is currently limited and will be implemented in the future. See Rue and Martino (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2006.07.016> and Zammit-Mangion and Rougier (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2018.02.001> for the application of these equations to statistics.
