This package contains several tools for nonlinear regression analyses and general data analysis in biology and agriculture. Contains also datasets for practicing and teaching purposes. Supports the blog: Onofri (2024) "Fixing the bridge between biologists and statisticians" <https://www.statforbiology.com> and the book: Onofri (2024) "Experimental Methods in Agriculture" <https://www.statforbiology.com/_statbookeng/>. The blog is a collection of short articles aimed at improving the efficiency of communication between biologists and statisticians, as pointed out in Kozak (2016) <doi:10.1590/0103-9016-2015-0399>, spreading a better awareness of the potential usefulness, beauty and limitations of biostatistic.

Approximate Bayesian regularization using Gaussian approximations. The input is a vector of estimates and a Gaussian error covariance matrix of the key parameters. Bayesian shrinkage is then applied to obtain parsimonious solutions. The method is described on Karimova, van Erp, Leenders, and Mulder (2024) <DOI:10.31234/osf.io/2g8qm>. Gibbs samplers are used for model fitting. The shrinkage priors that are supported are Gaussian (ridge) priors, Laplace (lasso) priors (Park and Casella, 2008 <DOI:10.1198/016214508000000337>), and horseshoe priors (Carvalho, et al., 2010; <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>). These priors include an option for grouped regularization of different subsets of parameters (Meier et al., 2008; <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2007.00627.x>). F priors are used for the penalty parameters lambda^2 (Mulder and Pericchi, 2018 <DOI:10.1214/17-BA1092>). This correspond to half-Cauchy priors on lambda (Carvalho, Polson, Scott, 2010 <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>).

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.

We implement functions to estimate and perform sensitivity analysis to unobserved confounding of direct and indirect effects introduced in Lindmark, de Luna and Eriksson (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7620> and Lindmark (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10260-021-00611-4>. The estimation and sensitivity analysis are parametric, based on probit and/or linear regression models. Sensitivity analysis is implemented for unobserved confounding of the exposure-mediator, mediator-outcome and exposure-outcome relationships.

This package implements Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) for Small Area Estimation under Fay Herriot Model. Small Area Estimation is used to borrow strength from auxiliary variables to improve the effectiveness of a domain sample size. This package uses Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP). The Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) are based on transformation by Aitchison J (1986). The covariance matrix for multivariate application is based on covariance matrix used by Esteban M, Lombardà a M, López-Vizcaà no E, Morales D, and Pérez A <doi:10.1007/s11749-019-00688-w>. The non-sampled models are modified area-level models based on models proposed by Anisa R, Kurnia A, and Indahwati I <doi:10.9790/5728-10121519>, with univariate model using model-3, and multivariate model using model-1. The MSE are estimated using Parametric Bootstrap approach. For non-sampled cases, MSE are estimated using modified approach proposed by Haris F and Ubaidillah A <doi:10.4108/eai.2-8-2019.2290339>.

Statistical performance measures used in the econometric literature to evaluate conditional covariance/correlation matrix estimates (MSE, MAE, Euclidean distance, Frobenius distance, Stein distance, asymmetric loss function, eigenvalue loss function and the loss function defined in Eq. (4.6) of Engle et al. (2016) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.2814555>). Additionally, compute Eq. (3.1) and (4.2) of Li et al. (2016) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2015.1092975> to compare the factor loading matrix. The statistical performance measures implemented have been previously used in, for instance, Laurent et al. (2012) <doi:10.1002/jae.1248>, Amendola et al. (2015) <doi:10.1002/for.2322> and Becker et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2013.11.007>.

This package provides a switch-case construct for R', as it is known from other programming languages. It allows to test multiple, similar conditions in an efficient, easy-to-read manner, so nested if-else constructs can be avoided. The switch-case construct is designed as an R function that allows to return values depending on which condition is met and lets the programmer flexibly decide whether or not to leave the switch-case construct after a case block has been executed.

Simulate complex data from a given directed acyclic graph and information about each individual node. Root nodes are simply sampled from the specified distribution. Child Nodes are simulated according to one of many implemented regressions, such as logistic regression, linear regression, poisson regression or any other function. Also includes a comprehensive framework for discrete-time simulation, and networks-based simulation which can generate even more complex longitudinal and dependent data. For more details, see Robin Denz, Nina Timmesfeld (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2506.01498>.

This package provides a regression and classification algorithm based on random forests, which takes the form of a short list of rules. SIRUS combines the simplicity of decision trees with a predictivity close to random forests. The core aggregation principle of random forests is kept, but instead of aggregating predictions, SIRUS aggregates the forest structure: the most frequent nodes of the forest are selected to form a stable rule ensemble model. The algorithm is fully described in the following articles: Benard C., Biau G., da Veiga S., Scornet E. (2021), Electron. J. Statist., 15:427-505 <DOI:10.1214/20-EJS1792> for classification, and Benard C., Biau G., da Veiga S., Scornet E. (2021), AISTATS, PMLR 130:937-945 <http://proceedings.mlr.press/v130/benard21a>, for regression. This R package is a fork from the project ranger (<https://github.com/imbs-hl/ranger>).

This package provides a scalable and fast method for estimating joint Species Distribution Models (jSDMs) for big community data, including eDNA data. The package estimates a full (i.e. non-latent) jSDM with different response distributions (including the traditional multivariate probit model). The package allows to perform variation partitioning (VP) / ANOVA on the fitted models to separate the contribution of environmental, spatial, and biotic associations. In addition, the total R-squared can be further partitioned per species and site to reveal the internal metacommunity structure, see Leibold et al., <doi:10.1111/oik.08618>. The internal structure can then be regressed against environmental and spatial distinctiveness, richness, and traits to analyze metacommunity assembly processes. The package includes support for accounting for spatial autocorrelation and the option to fit responses using deep neural networks instead of a standard linear predictor. As described in Pichler & Hartig (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13687>, scalability is achieved by using a Monte Carlo approximation of the joint likelihood implemented via PyTorch and reticulate', which can be run on CPUs or GPUs.

This package provides tools to convert from specific formats to more general forms of spatial data. Using tables to store the actual entities present in spatial data provides flexibility, and the functions here deliberately minimize the level of interpretation applied, leaving that for specific applications. Includes support for simple features, round-trip for Spatial classes and long-form tables, analogous to ggplot2::fortify'. There is also a more normal form representation that decomposes simple features and their kin to tables of objects, parts, and unique coordinates.
