The number of studies involving correlated traits and the availability of tools to handle this type of data has increased considerably in the last decade. With such a demand, we need tools for testing hypotheses related to single and multi-trait (correlated) phenotypes based on many genetic settings. Thus, we implemented various options for simulation of pleiotropy and Linkage Disequilibrium under additive, dominance and epistatic models. The simulation currently takes a marker data set as an input and then uses it for simulating multiple traits as described in Fernandes and Lipka (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12859-020-03804-y>.

This is a user-friendly way to run a parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis (Harshman, 1971) <doi:10.1121/1.1977523> on excitation emission matrix (EEM) data from dissolved organic matter (DOM) samples (Murphy et al., 2013) <doi:10.1039/c3ay41160e>. The analysis includes profound methods for model validation. Some additional functions allow the calculation of absorbance slope parameters and create beautiful plots.'.

Implements the following methods: oLBFGS (online LBFGS) (Schraudolph, N.N., Yu, J. and Guenter, S., 2007 <http://proceedings.mlr.press/v2/schraudolph07a.html>), SQN (stochastic quasi-Newton) (Byrd, R.H., Hansen, S.L., Nocedal, J. and Singer, Y., 2016 <arXiv:1401.7020>), adaQN (adaptive quasi-Newton) (Keskar, N.S., Berahas, A.S., 2016, <arXiv:1511.01169>). Provides functions for easily creating R objects with partial_fit/predict methods from some given objective/gradient/predict functions. Includes an example stochastic logistic regression using these optimizers. Provides header files and registered C routines for using it directly from C/C++.

This package implements a semi-supervised learning framework for finite mixture models under a mixed-missingness mechanism. The approach models both missing completely at random (MCAR) and entropy-based missing at random (MAR) processes using a logisticâ entropy formulation. Estimation is carried out via an Expectationâ -Conditional Maximisation (ECM) algorithm with robust initialisation routines for stable convergence. The methodology relates to the statistical perspective and informative missingness behaviour discussed in Ahfock and McLachlan (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11222-020-09971-5> and Ahfock and McLachlan (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.ecosta.2022.03.007>. The package provides functions for data simulation, model estimation, prediction, and theoretical Bayes error evaluation for analysing partially labelled data under a mixed-missingness mechanism.

This package provides methods for fitting bivariate lines in allometry using the major axis (MA) or standardised major axis (SMA), and for making inferences about such lines. The available methods of inference include confidence intervals and one-sample tests for slope and elevation, testing for a common slope or elevation amongst several allometric lines, constructing a confidence interval for a common slope or elevation, and testing for no shift along a common axis, amongst several samples. See Warton et al. 2012 <doi:10.1111/j.2041-210X.2011.00153.x> for methods description.

This package contains data files to accompany Smithson & Merkle (2013), Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Continuous Limited Dependent Variables.

Set of tools to fit a semi-parametric regression model suitable for analysis of data sets in which the response variable is continuous, strictly positive, asymmetric and possibly, censored. Under this setup, both the median and the skewness of the response variable distribution are explicitly modeled by using semi-parametric functions, whose non-parametric components may be approximated by natural cubic splines or P-splines. Supported distributions for the model error include log-normal, log-Student-t, log-power-exponential, log-hyperbolic, log-contaminated-normal, log-slash, Birnbaum-Saunders and Birnbaum-Saunders-t distributions.

This package creates and fits staged event tree probability models, which are probabilistic graphical models capable of representing asymmetric conditional independence statements for categorical variables.

Computes segregation indices, including the Index of Dissimilarity, as well as the information-theoretic indices developed by Theil (1971) <isbn:978-0471858454>, namely the Mutual Information Index (M) and Theil's Information Index (H). The M, further described by Mora and Ruiz-Castillo (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9531.2011.01237.x> and Frankel and Volij (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jet.2010.10.008>, is a measure of segregation that is highly decomposable. The package provides tools to decompose the index by units and groups (local segregation), and by within and between terms. The package also provides a method to decompose differences in segregation as described by Elbers (2021) <doi:10.1177/0049124121986204>. The package includes standard error estimation by bootstrapping, which also corrects for small sample bias. The package also contains functions for visualizing segregation patterns.
