An easy-to-use and efficient tool to estimate infectious diseases parameters using serological data. Implemented models include SIR models (basic_sir_model(), static_sir_model(), mseir_model(), sir_subpops_model()), parametric models (polynomial_model(), fp_model()), nonparametric models (lp_model()), semiparametric models (penalized_splines_model()), hierarchical models (hierarchical_bayesian_model()). The package is based on the book "Modeling Infectious Disease Parameters Based on Serological and Social Contact Data: A Modern Statistical Perspective" (Hens, Niel & Shkedy, Ziv & Aerts, Marc & Faes, Christel & Damme, Pierre & Beutels, Philippe., 2013) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-4072-7>.

Implementation of spatially-explicit, stochastic disease models with customizable time windows that describe how parameter values fluctuate during outbreaks (e.g., in response to public health or conservation interventions).

This package provides a variety of original and flexible user-friendly statistical latent variable models and unsupervised learning algorithms to segment and represent time-series data (univariate or multivariate), and more generally, longitudinal data, which include regime changes. samurais is built upon the following packages, each of them is an autonomous time-series segmentation approach: Regression with Hidden Logistic Process ('RHLP'), Hidden Markov Model Regression ('HMMR'), Multivariate RHLP ('MRHLP'), Multivariate HMMR ('MHMMR'), Piece-Wise regression ('PWR'). For the advantages/differences of each of them, the user is referred to our mentioned paper references.

This package implements a set of distribution modeling methods that are suited to species with small sample sizes (e.g., poorly sampled species or rare species). While these methods can also be used on well-sampled taxa, they are united by the fact that they can be utilized with relatively few data points. More details on the currently implemented methodologies can be found in Drake and Richards (2018) <doi:10.1002/ecs2.2373>, Drake (2015) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2015.0086>, and Drake (2014) <doi:10.1890/ES13-00202.1>.

Estimates the authors or speakers of texts. Methods developed in Huang, Perry, and Spirling (2020) <doi:10.1017/pan.2019.49>. The model is built on a Bayesian framework in which the distinctiveness of each speaker is defined by how different, on average, the speaker's terms are to everyone else in the corpus of texts. An optional cross-validation method is implemented to select the subset of terms that generate the most accurate speaker predictions. Once a set of terms is selected, the model can be estimated. Speaker distinctiveness and term influence can be recovered from parameters in the model using package functions. Once fitted, the model can be used to predict authorship of new texts.

Software that leverages the capabilities of Circos by manipulating data, preparing configuration files, and running the Perl-native Circos directly from the R environment with minimal user intervention. Circos is a novel software that addresses the challenges in visualizing genetic data by creating circular ideograms composed of tracks of heatmaps, scatter plots, line plots, histograms, links between common markers, glyphs, text, and etc. Please see <http://www.circos.ca>.

This package provides the core framework for a discrete event system to implement a complete data-to-decisions, reproducible workflow. The core components facilitate the development of modular pieces, and enable the user to include additional functionality by running user-built modules. Includes conditional scheduling, restart after interruption, packaging of reusable modules, tools for developing arbitrary automated workflows, automated interweaving of modules of different temporal resolution, and tools for visualizing and understanding the within-project dependencies. The suggested package NLMR can be installed from the repository (<https://PredictiveEcology.r-universe.dev>).

The <http://standartox.uni-landau.de> database offers cleaned, harmonized and aggregated ecotoxicological test data, which can be used for assessing effects and risks of chemical concentrations found in the environment.

This tool fits a non-parametric Bayesian model called a "hierarchically coupled mixture model with local dependence (HCMM-LD)" to the original microdata in order to generate synthetic microdata for privacy protection. The non-parametric feature of the adopted model is useful for capturing the joint distribution of the original input data in a highly flexible manner, leading to the generation of synthetic data whose distributional features are similar to that of the input data. The package allows the original input data to have missing values and impute them with the posterior predictive distribution, so no missing values exist in the synthetic data output. The method builds on the work of Murray and Reiter (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1174132>.

This package implements a thresholded version of the Sliced Inverse Regression method (Li, K. C. (1991) <doi:10.2307/2290563>), which allows to do variable selection.

This is a shape preserving spline <doi:10.1137/0720057> which is guaranteed to be monotonic and concave or convex if the data is monotonic and concave or convex. It does not use any optimisation and is therefore quick and smoothly converges to a fixed point in economic dynamics problems including value function iteration. It also automatically gives the first two derivatives of the spline and options for determining behaviour when evaluated outside the interpolation domain.

It also allows dealing with intermittent demand based on the iETS framework (Svetunkov & Boylan, 2019, <doi: 10.13140/RG.2.2.35897.06242>).

This package provides functions to generate and analyze spatially-explicit individual-based multistate movements in rivers, heterogeneous and homogeneous spaces. This is done by incorporating landscape bias on local behaviour, based on resistance rasters. Although originally conceived and designed to simulate trajectories of species constrained to linear habitats/dendritic ecological networks (e.g. river networks), the simulation algorithm is built to be highly flexible and can be applied to any (aquatic, semi-aquatic or terrestrial) organism, independently on the landscape in which it moves. Thus, the user will be able to use the package to simulate movements either in homogeneous landscapes, heterogeneous landscapes (e.g. semi-aquatic animal moving mainly along rivers but also using the matrix), or even in highly contrasted landscapes (e.g. fish in a river network). The algorithm and its input parameters are the same for all cases, so that results are comparable. Simulated trajectories can then be used as mechanistic null models (Potts & Lewis 2014, <DOI:10.1098/rspb.2014.0231>) to test a variety of Movement Ecology hypotheses (Nathan et al. 2008, <DOI:10.1073/pnas.0800375105>), including landscape effects (e.g. resources, infrastructures) on animal movement and species site fidelity, or for predictive purposes (e.g. road mortality risk, dispersal/connectivity). The package should be relevant to explore a broad spectrum of ecological phenomena, such as those at the interface of animal behaviour, management, landscape and movement ecology, disease and invasive species spread, and population dynamics.
