Plots a QQ-Norm Plot with several Gaussian simulations.

This package provides statistical procedures for linear regression in the general context where the errors are assumed to be correlated. Different ways to estimate the asymptotic covariance matrix of the least squares estimators are available. Starting from this estimation of the covariance matrix, the confidence intervals and the usual tests on the parameters are modified. The functions of this package are very similar to those of lm': it contains methods such as summary(), plot(), confint() and predict(). The slm package is described in the paper by E. Caron, J. Dedecker and B. Michel (2019), "Linear regression with stationary errors: the R package slm", arXiv preprint <arXiv:1906.06583>.

Artificial selection through selective breeding is an efficient way to induce changes in traits of interest in experimental populations. This package (sra) provides a set of tools to analyse artificial-selection response datasets. The data typically feature for several generations the average value of a trait in a population, the variance of the trait, the population size and the average value of the parents that were chosen to breed. Sra implements two families of models aiming at describing the dynamics of the genetic architecture of the trait during the selection response. The first family relies on purely descriptive (phenomenological) models, based on an autoregressive framework. The second family provides different mechanistic models, accounting e.g. for inbreeding, mutations, genetic and environmental canalization, or epistasis. The parameters underlying the dynamics of the time series are estimated by maximum likelihood. The sra package thus provides (i) a wrapper for the R functions mle() and optim() aiming at fitting in a convenient way a predetermined set of models, and (ii) some functions to plot and analyze the output of the models.

Automatic generation and selection of spatial predictors for Random Forest models fitted to spatially structured data. Spatial predictors are constructed from a distance matrix among training samples using Moran's Eigenvector Maps (MEMs; Dray, Legendre, and Peres-Neto 2006 <DOI:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2006.02.015>) or the RFsp approach (Hengl et al. <DOI:10.7717/peerj.5518>). These predictors are used alongside user-supplied explanatory variables in Random Forest models. The package provides functions for model fitting, multicollinearity reduction, interaction identification, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation via spatial cross-validation, and result visualization using partial dependence and interaction plots. Model fitting relies on the ranger package (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <DOI:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>).

Several different sigmoid functions are implemented, including a wrapper function, SoftMax preprocessing and inverse functions.

Fast versions of seismic analysis functions that roll over a vector of values. See the RcppRoll package for alternative versions of basic statistical functions such as rolling mean, median, etc.

Simple implementation of Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 ('SemVer') on the vctrs package. This package provides a simple way to create, compare, and manipulate semantic versions in R. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to use.

This package provides a pipeline for the comparative analysis of collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, baboon troops) by processing 2-dimensional positional data (x,y,t) from GPS trackers or computer vision tracking systems, discretizing events of collective motion, calculating a set of established metrics that characterize each event, and placing the events in a multi-dimensional swarm space constructed from these metrics. The swarm space concept, the metrics and data sets included are described in: Papadopoulou Marina, Furtbauer Ines, O'Bryan Lisa R., Garnier Simon, Georgopoulou Dimitra G., Bracken Anna M., Christensen Charlotte and King Andrew J. (2023) <doi:10.1098/rstb.2022.0068>.

The functions allow for the numerical evaluation of some commonly used entropy measures, such as Shannon entropy, Rényi entropy, Havrda and Charvat entropy, and Arimoto entropy, at selected parametric values from several well-known and widely used probability distributions. Moreover, the functions also compute the relative loss of these entropies using the truncated distributions. Related works include: Awad, A. M., & Alawneh, A. J. (1987). Application of entropy to a life-time model. IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information, 4(2), 143-148. <doi:10.1093/imamci/4.2.143>.

The nature of working with structured query language ('SQL') scripts efficiently often requires the creation of temporary tables and there are few clean and simple R SQL execution approaches that allow you to complete this kind of work with the R environment. This package seeks to give SQL implementations in R a little love by deploying functions that allow you to deploy complex SQL scripts within a typical R workflow.

Track and record the use of applications and the user's interactions with Shiny inputs. Allows to trace the inputs with which the user interacts, the outputs generated, as well as the errors displayed in the interface.

Perform association test within linear mixed model framework using score test integrated with Empirical Bayes for genome-wide association study. Firstly, score test was conducted for each marker under linear mixed model framework, taking into account the genetic relatedness and population structure. And then all the potentially associated markers were selected with a less stringent criterion. Finally, all the selected markers were placed into a multi-locus model to identify the true quantitative trait nucleotide.

This package provides predictive accuracy tools to evaluate time-to-event survival models. This includes calculating the concordance probability estimate that incorporates the follow-up time for a particular study developed by Devlin, Gonen, Heller (2020)<doi:10.1007/s10985-020-09503-3>. It also evaluates the concordance probability estimate for nested Cox proportional hazards models using a projection-based approach by Heller and Devlin (under review).

Phenotypic analysis of data coming from high throughput phenotyping (HTP) platforms, including different types of outlier detection, spatial analysis, and parameter estimation. The package is being developed within the EPPN2020 project (<https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/731013>). Some functions have been created to be used in conjunction with the R package asreml for the ASReml software, which can be obtained upon purchase from VSN international (<https://vsni.co.uk/software/asreml-r/>).

Estimation of copula using ranks and subsampling. The main feature of this method is that simulation studies show a low sensitivity to dimension, on realistic cases.

This package provides a collection of data processing, visualization, and export functions to support soil survey operations. Many of the functions build on the `SoilProfileCollection` S4 class provided by the aqp package, extending baseline visualization to more elaborate depictions in the context of spatial and taxonomic data. While this package is primarily developed by and for the USDA-NRCS, in support of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, the authors strive for generalization sufficient to support any soil survey operation. Many of the included functions are used by the SoilWeb suite of websites and movile applications. These functions are provided here, with additional documentation, to enable others to replicate high quality versions of these figures for their own purposes.

Main properties and regression procedures using a generalization of the Dirichlet distribution called Simplicial Generalized Beta distribution. It is a new distribution on the simplex (i.e. on the space of compositions or positive vectors with sum of components equal to 1). The Dirichlet distribution can be constructed from a random vector of independent Gamma variables divided by their sum. The SGB follows the same construction with generalized Gamma instead of Gamma variables. The Dirichlet exponents are supplemented by an overall shape parameter and a vector of scales. The scale vector is itself a composition and can be modeled with auxiliary variables through a log-ratio transformation. Graf, M. (2017, ISBN: 978-84-947240-0-8). See also the vignette enclosed in the package.

Obtains lists of files of remote sensing collections for Southern Ocean surface properties. Commonly used data sources of sea surface temperature, sea ice concentration, and altimetry products such as sea surface height and sea surface currents are cached in object storage on the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre facility. Patterns of working to retrieve data from these object storage catalogues are described. The catalogues include complete collections of datasets Reynolds et al. (2008) "NOAA Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) Analysis, Version 2.1" <doi:10.7289/V5SQ8XB5>, Spreen et al. (2008) "Artist Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) sea ice concentration" <doi:10.1029/2005JC003384>. In future releases helpers will be added to identify particular data collections and target specific dates for earth observation data for reading, as well as helpers to retrieve data set citation and provenance details. This work was supported by resources provided by the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre with funding from the Australian Government and the Government of Western Australia. This software was developed by the Integrated Digital East Antarctica program of the Australian Antarctic Division.

Efficient framework to estimate high-dimensional generalized matrix factorization models using penalized maximum likelihood under a dispersion exponential family specification. Either deterministic and stochastic methods are implemented for the numerical maximization. In particular, the package implements the stochastic gradient descent algorithm with a block-wise mini-batch strategy to speed up the computations and an efficient adaptive learning rate schedule to stabilize the convergence. All the theoretical details can be found in Castiglione et al. (2024, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2412.20509>). Other methods considered for the optimization are the alternated iterative re-weighted least squares and the quasi-Newton method with diagonal approximation of the Fisher information matrix discussed in Kidzinski et al. (2022, <http://jmlr.org/papers/v23/20-1104.html>).

This package provides functions and classes for spatial resampling to use with the rsample package, such as spatial cross-validation (Brenning, 2012) <doi:10.1109/IGARSS.2012.6352393>. The scope of rsample and spatialsample is to provide the basic building blocks for creating and analyzing resamples of a spatial data set, but neither package includes functions for modeling or computing statistics. The resampled spatial data sets created by spatialsample do not contain much overhead in memory.

This package provides a coordinate descent algorithm for computing the solution paths of the sparse and coupled sparse asymmetric least squares, including the (adaptive) elastic net and Lasso penalized SALES and COSALES regressions.
