This package provides a collection of tools for analyzing significance of assets, funds, and trading strategies, based on the Sharpe ratio and overfit of the same. Provides density, distribution, quantile and random generation of the Sharpe ratio distribution based on normal returns, as well as the optimal Sharpe ratio over multiple assets. Computes confidence intervals on the Sharpe and provides a test of equality of Sharpe ratios based on the Delta method. The statistical foundations of the Sharpe can be found in the author's Short Sharpe Course <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3036276>.

Fits time trend models for routine disease surveillance tasks and returns probability distributions for a variety of quantities of interest, including age-standardized rates, period and cumulative percent change, and measures of health inequality. The models are appropriate for count data such as disease incidence and mortality data, employing a Poisson or binomial likelihood and the first-difference (random-walk) prior for unknown risk. Optionally add a covariance matrix for multiple, correlated time series models. Inference is completed using Markov chain Monte Carlo via the Stan modeling language.

Data visualization tours animates linear projection of multivariate data as its basis (ie. orientation) changes. The spinifex packages generates paths for manual tours by manipulating the contribution of a single variable at a time Cook & Buja (1997) <doi:10.1080/10618600.1997.10474754>. Other types of tours, such as grand (random walk) and guided (optimizing some objective function) are available in the tourr package Wickham et al. <doi:10.18637/jss.v040.i02>. spinifex builds on tourr and can render tours with gganimate and plotly graphics, and allows for exporting as an .html widget and as an .gif, respectively. This work is fully discussed in Spyrison & Cook (2020) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2020-027>.

The FAO Penmann-Monteith equation to calculate evapotranspiration is also included.

This package provides a function sfc() to compute the substance flow with the input files --- "data" and "model". If sample.size is set more than 1, uncertainty analysis will be executed while the distributions and parameters are supplied in the file "data".

This package provides a set of statistical tools for spatio-temporal data exploration. Includes simple plotting functions, covariance calculations and computations similar to principal component analysis for spatio-temporal data. Can use both dataframes and stars objects for all plots and computations. For more details refer Spatio-Temporal Statistics with R (Christopher K. Wikle, Andrew Zammit-Mangion, Noel Cressie, 2019, ISBN:9781138711136).

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

Maximum likelihood estimation for stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) of production (profit) and cost functions. The package includes the basic stochastic frontier for cross-sectional or pooled data with several distributions for the one-sided error term (i.e., Rayleigh, gamma, Weibull, lognormal, uniform, generalized exponential and truncated skewed Laplace), the latent class stochastic frontier model (LCM) as described in Dakpo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/1477-9552.12422>, for cross-sectional and pooled data, and the sample selection model as described in Greene (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11123-009-0159-1>, and applied in Dakpo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/agec.12683>. Several possibilities in terms of optimization algorithms are proposed.

Practitioners of Bayesian statistics often use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers to sample from a posterior distribution. This package determines whether the MCMC sample is large enough to yield reliable estimates of the target distribution. In particular, this calculates a Gelman-Rubin convergence diagnostic using stable and consistent estimators of Monte Carlo variance. Additionally, this uses the connection between an MCMC sample's effective sample size and the Gelman-Rubin diagnostic to produce a threshold for terminating MCMC simulation. Finally, this informs the user whether enough samples have been collected and (if necessary) estimates the number of samples needed for a desired level of accuracy. The theory underlying these methods can be found in "Revisiting the Gelman-Rubin Diagnostic" by Vats and Knudson (2018) <arXiv:1812:09384>.

This package provides tools for fitting self-validated ensemble models (SVEM; Lemkus et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2021.104439>) in small-sample design-of-experiments and related workflows, using elastic net and relaxed elastic net regression via glmnet (Friedman et al. (2010) <doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i01>). Fractional random-weight bootstraps with anti-correlated validation copies are used to tune penalty paths by validation-weighted AIC/BIC. Supports Gaussian and binomial responses, deterministic expansion helpers for shared factor spaces, prediction with bootstrap uncertainty, and a random-search optimizer that respects mixture constraints and combines multiple responses via desirability functions. Also includes a permutation-based whole-model test for Gaussian SVEM fits (Karl (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2024.105122>). Package code was drafted with assistance from generative AI tools.

This package provides simple and powerful interfaces that facilitate interaction with ODBC data sources. Each data source gets its own unique and dedicated interface, wrapped around RODBC'. Communication settings are remembered between queries, and are managed silently in the background. The interfaces support multi-statement SQL scripts, which can be parameterised via metaprogramming structures and embedded R expressions.

This package provides functions for statistical analysis of point processes.

Analysis tools to investigate changes in intercellular communication from scRNA-seq data. Using a Seurat object as input, the package infers which cell-cell interactions are present in the dataset and how these interactions change between two conditions of interest (e.g. young vs old). It relies on an internal database of ligand-receptor interactions (available for human, mouse and rat) that have been gathered from several published studies. Detection and differential analyses rely on permutation tests. The package also contains several tools to perform over-representation analysis and visualize the results. See Lagger, C. et al. (2023) <doi:10.1038/s43587-023-00514-x> for a full description of the methodology.
