An implementation of Multi-Task Logistic Regression (MTLR) for R. This package is based on the method proposed by Yu et al. (2011) which utilized MTLR for generating individual survival curves by learning feature weights which vary across time. This model was further extended to account for left and interval censored data.

This package provides a multiway method to decompose a tensor (array) of any order, as a generalisation of SVD also supporting non-identity metrics and penalisations. 2-way SVD with these extensions is also available. The package includes also some other multiway methods: PCAn (Tucker-n) and PARAFAC/CANDECOMP with these extensions.

This work is an extension of the state space model for Poisson count data, Poisson-Gamma model, towards a semiparametric specification. Just like the generalized additive models (GAM), cubic splines are used for covariate smoothing. The semiparametric models are fitted by an iterative process that combines maximization of likelihood and backfitting algorithm.

This package provides functions to estimate the density and size of a spatially distributed animal population sampled with an array of passive detectors, such as traps, or by searching polygons or transects. Models incorporating distance-dependent detection are fitted by maximizing the likelihood. Tools are included for data manipulation and model selection.

Sparse redundancy analysis for high dimensional (biomedical) data. Directional multivariate analysis to express the maximum variance in the predicted data set by a linear combination of variables of the predictive data set.

We described a novel Topology-based pathway enrichment analysis, which integrated the global position of the nodes and the topological property of the pathways in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Database. We also provide some functions to obtain the latest information about pathways to finish pathway enrichment analysis using this method.

Support for the XLUM file format (Kreutzer et al. (2023) <doi:10.5194/gchron-5-271-2023>) for exchange and long-term preservation of luminescence data. The package facilitates the import and export of XLUM files and the conversion from other ASCII and binary formats commonly used to store luminescence (dating) data.

Frequentist sequential meta-analysis based on Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) in programmed in Java by the Copenhagen Trial Unit (CTU). The primary function is the calculation of group sequential designs for meta-analysis to be used for planning and analysis of both prospective and retrospective sequential meta-analyses to preserve type-I-error control under sequential testing. RTSA includes tools for sample size and trial size calculation for meta-analysis and core meta-analyses methods such as fixed-effect and random-effects models and forest plots. TSA is described in Wetterslev et. al (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2007.03.013>. The methods for deriving the group sequential designs are based on Jennison and Turnbull (1999, ISBN:9780849303166).

Low-rank matrix decompositions are fundamental tools and widely used for data analysis, dimension reduction, and data compression. Classically, highly accurate deterministic matrix algorithms are used for this task. However, the emergence of large-scale data has severely challenged our computational ability to analyze big data. The concept of randomness has been demonstrated as an effective strategy to quickly produce approximate answers to familiar problems such as the singular value decomposition (SVD). This package provides several randomized matrix algorithms such as the randomized singular value decomposition (rsvd), randomized principal component analysis (rpca), randomized robust principal component analysis (rrpca), randomized interpolative decomposition (rid), and the randomized CUR decomposition (rcur). In addition several plot functions are provided.

Content-preserving transformations transformations of PDF files such as split, combine, and compress. This package interfaces directly to the qpdf C++ API and does not require any command line utilities.

Automatic differentiation is achieved by using dual numbers without providing hand-coded gradient functions. The output value of a mathematical function is returned with the values of its exact first derivative (or gradient).
