Plotting functions to create circular boxplots for grouped data. The primary 2-dimensional version creates concentric circular boxplots for specified groups, scaling the width of each boxplot to adjust for human perception. The 3-dimensional version maps these plots onto a torus which is suitable for periodic circular data such as wind direction over the course of a year. An example dataset of this type is provided for reference. For examples of circular boxplots and additional implementation details, see Berlinski et al. (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2602.05335>.

Analysis and plotting tools for snow profile data produced from manual snowpack observations and physical snowpack models. The functions in this package support snowpack and avalanche research by reading various formats of data (including CAAML, SMET, generic csv, and outputs from the snow cover model SNOWPACK), manipulate the data, and produce graphics such as stratigraphy and time series profiles. Package developed by the Simon Fraser University Avalanche Research Program <http://www.avalancheresearch.ca>.

This package creates an interactive graphics interface to visualize backtest results of different financial instruments, such as equities, futures, and credit default swaps. The package does not run backtests on the given data set but displays a graphical explanation of the backtest results. Users can look at backtest graphics for different instruments, investment strategies, and portfolios. Summary statistics of different portfolio holdings are shown in the left panel, and interactive plots of profit and loss (P&L), net market value (NMV) and gross market value (GMV) are displayed in the right panel.
Computes a composite year-on-year index for bank performance assessment using the CAMEL framework (Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Efficiency, Earnings, Liquidity).

Provides functions for index computation, visualization, and comparison across banks and time periods.The methodology is described in Ayimah et al. (2023a) <doi:10.9734/bpi/mono/978-81-19315-32-1> and Ayimah et al. (2023b) <https://ajtem.com/index.php/ajtem/article/view/53>.
Accuracy metrics are commonly used to assess the discriminating ability of diagnostic tests or biomarkers. Among them, metrics based on the ROC framework are particularly popular. When classification involves subclasses, the package CompClassMetrics includes functions that can provide the point estimate, confidence interval as well as true values if a parametric setting is known. For more details see Nan and Tian (2025) <doi:10.1177/09622802251343600>, Nan and Tian (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9908>, Feng and Tian (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220938077> and Wang et al (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.6843>.

Features detailed algorithm explanations, visualizations, and weighted distance calculations for enhanced learning.
It is well known that the distribution of a Gaussian ratio does not follow a Gaussian distribution. The lack of awareness among users of vegetation indices about this non-Gaussian nature could lead to incorrect statistical modeling and interpretation. This package provides tools to accurately handle and analyse such ratios: density function, parameter estimation, simulation. An example on the study of chlorophyll fluorescence can be found in A. El Ghaziri et al. (2023) <doi:10.3390/rs15020528> and another method for parameter estimation is given in Bouhlel et al. (2023) <doi:10.23919/EUSIPCO58844.2023.10290111>.

H(x) is the h-index for the past x years. Here, the h(x) of a scientist/department/etc. can be calculated using the exported excel file from a Web of Science citation report of a search. Also calculated is the year of first publication, total number of publications, and sum of times cited for the specified period. Therefore, for h-10: the date of first publication, total number of publications, and sum of times cited in the past 10 years are calculated. Note: the excel file has to first be saved in a .csv format.

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>.
For high-dimensional data whose main feature is a large number, p, of variables but a small sample size, the null hypothesis that the marginal distributions of p variables are the same for two groups is tested. We propose a test statistic motivated by the simple idea of comparing, for each of the p variables, the empirical characteristic functions computed from the two samples. If one rejects this global null hypothesis of no differences in distributions between the two groups, a set of permutation p-values is reported to identify which variables are not equally distributed in both groups.
Romande ADF is a serif font family with oldstyle figures, designed as a substitute for Times, Tiffany or Caslon. The family currently includes upright, italic and small-caps shapes in each of regular and demi-bold weights and an italic script in regular. The support package renames the fonts according to the Karl Berry font name scheme and defines four families. Two of these primarily provide access to the ``standard'' or default characters while the ``alternate'' families support alternate characters, additional ligatures and the long ``s''. The included package files provide access to these features in LaTeX as explained in the documentation.
Intra-miR-ExploreR, an integrative miRNA target prediction bioinformatics tool, identifies targets combining expression and biophysical interactions of a given microRNA (miR). Using the tool, we have identified targets for 92 intragenic miRs in D. melanogaster, using available microarray expression data, from Affymetrix 1 and Affymetrix2 microarray array platforms, providing a global perspective of intragenic miR targets in Drosophila. Predicted targets are grouped according to biological functions using the DAVID Gene Ontology tool and are ranked based on a biologically relevant scoring system, enabling the user to identify functionally relevant targets for a given miR.
Diversification is one of the most important concepts in portfolio management. This framework offers scholars, practitioners and policymakers a useful toolbox to measure diversification. Specifically, this framework provides recent diversification measures from the recent literature. These diversification measures are based on the works of Rudin and Morgan (2006) <doi:10.3905/jpm.2006.611807>, Choueifaty and Coignard (2008) <doi:10.3905/JPM.2008.35.1.40>, Vermorken et al. (2012) <doi:10.3905/jpm.2012.39.1.067>, Flores et al. (2017) <doi:10.3905/jpm.2017.43.4.112>, Calvet et al. (2007) <doi:10.1086/524204>, and Candelon, Fuerst and Hasse (2020).
This app provides some useful tools for Offering an accessible GUI for generalised blockmodeling of single-relation, one-mode networks. The user can execute blockmodeling without having to write a line code by using the app's visual helps. Moreover, there are several ways to visualisations networks and their partitions. Finally, the results can be exported as if they were produced by writing code. The development of this package is financially supported by the Slovenian Research Agency (www.arrs.gov.si) within the research project J5-2557 (Comparison and evaluation of different approaches to blockmodeling dynamic networks by simulations with application to Slovenian co-authorship networks).

This package provides a well known identifiability issue in factor analytic models is the invariance with respect to orthogonal transformations. This problem burdens the inference under a Bayesian setup, where Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are used to generate samples from the posterior distribution. The package applies a series of rotation, sign and permutation transformations (Papastamoulis and Ntzoufras (2022) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-022-10084-4>) into raw MCMC samples of factor loadings, which are provided by the user. The post-processed output is identifiable and can be used for MCMC inference on any parametric function of factor loadings. Comparison of multiple MCMC chains is also possible.
