This package provides a specialized selection algorithm designed to align simulated fire perimeters with specific fire size distribution scenarios. The foundation of this approach lies in generating a vast collection of plausible simulated fires across a wide range of conditions, assuming a random pattern of ignition. The algorithm then assembles individual fire perimeters based on their specific probabilities of occurrence, e.g., determined by (i) the likelihood of ignition and (ii) the probability of particular fire-weather scenarios, including wind speed and direction. Implements the method presented in Rodrigues (2025a) <doi:10.5194/egusphere-egu25-8974>. Demo data and code examples can be found in Rodrigues (2025b) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.15282605>.

This package provides a fast, consistent tool for plotting and facilitating the analysis of stratigraphic and sedimentological data. Taking advantage of the flexible plotting tools available in R, SDAR uses stratigraphic and sedimentological data to produce detailed graphic logs for outcrop sections and borehole logs. These logs can include multiple features (e.g., bed thickness, lithology, samples, sedimentary structures, colors, fossil content, bioturbation index, gamma ray logs) (Johnson, 1992, <ISSN 0037-0738>).

Perform survival simulation with parametric survival model generated from survreg function in survival package. In each simulation coefficients are resampled from variance-covariance matrix of parameter estimates to capture uncertainty in model parameters. Prediction intervals of Kaplan-Meier estimates and hazard ratio of treatment effect can be further calculated using simulated survival data.

Computes the effective range of a smoothing matrix, which is a measure of the distance to which smoothing occurs. This is motivated by the application of spatial splines for adjusting for unmeasured spatial confounding in regression models, but the calculation of effective range can be applied to smoothing matrices in other contexts.

Omics data (e.g. transcriptomics, proteomics, metagenomics...) offer a detailed and multi-dimensional perspective on the molecular components and interactions within complex biological (eco)systems. Analyzing these data requires adapted procedures, which are implemented as steps according to the recipes package.

This package implements an approach aimed at assessing the accuracy and effectiveness of raw scores obtained in scales that contain locally dependent items. The program uses as input the calibration (structural) item estimates obtained from fitting extended unidimensional factor-analytic solutions in which the existing local dependencies are included. Measures of reliability (Omega) and information are proposed at three levels: (a) total score, (b) bivariate-doublet, and (c) item-by-item deletion, and are compared to those that would be obtained if all the items had been locally independent. All the implemented procedures can be obtained from: (a) linear factor-analytic solutions in which the item scores are treated as approximately continuous, and (b) non-linear solutions in which the item scores are treated as ordered-categorical. A detailed guide can be obtained at the following url.

This package provides functions for dimension reduction through the seeded canonical correlation analysis are provided. A classical canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is one of useful statistical methods in multivariate data analysis, but it is limited in use due to the matrix inversion for large p small n data. To overcome this, a seeded CCA has been proposed in Im, Gang and Yoo (2015) \doi10.1002/cem.2691. The seeded CCA is a two-step procedure. The sets of variables are initially reduced by successively projecting cov(X,Y) or cov(Y,X) onto cov(X) and cov(Y), respectively, without loss of information on canonical correlation analysis, following Cook, Li and Chiaromonte (2007) \doi10.1093/biomet/asm038 and Lee and Yoo (2014) \doi10.1111/anzs.12057. Then, the canonical correlation is finalized with the initially-reduced two sets of variables.

An implementation of the feature Selection procedure by Partitioning the entire Solution Paths (namely SPSP) to identify the relevant features rather than using a single tuning parameter. By utilizing the entire solution paths, this procedure can obtain better selection accuracy than the commonly used approach of selecting only one tuning parameter based on existing criteria, cross-validation (CV), generalized CV, AIC, BIC, and extended BIC (Liu, Y., & Wang, P. (2018) <doi:10.1214/18-EJS1434>). It is more stable and accurate (low false positive and false negative rates) than other variable selection approaches. In addition, it can be flexibly coupled with the solution paths of Lasso, adaptive Lasso, ridge regression, and other penalized estimators.

Network meta-analysis for survival outcome data often involves several studies only involve dichotomized outcomes (e.g., the numbers of event and sample sizes of individual arms). To combine these different outcome data, Woods et al. (2010) <doi:10.1186/1471-2288-10-54> proposed a Bayesian approach using complicated hierarchical models. Besides, frequentist approaches have been alternative standard methods for the statistical analyses of network meta-analysis, and the methodology has been well established. We proposed an easy-to-implement method for the network meta-analysis based on the frequentist framework in Noma and Maruo (2025) <doi:10.1101/2025.01.23.25321051>. This package involves some convenient functions to implement the simple synthesis method.
