This package provides tools for the stochastic simulation of effectiveness scores to mitigate data-related limitations of Information Retrieval evaluation research, as described in Urbano and Nagler (2018) <doi:10.1145/3209978.3210043>. These tools include: fitting, selection and plotting distributions to model system effectiveness, transformation towards a prespecified expected value, proxy to fitting of copula models based on these distributions, and simulation of new evaluation data from these distributions and copula models.

The Swiss Ephemeris (version 2.10.03) is a high precision ephemeris based upon the DE431 ephemerides from NASA's JPL. It covers the time range 13201 BCE to 17191 CE. This package uses the semi-analytic theory by Steve Moshier. For faster and more accurate calculations, the compressed Swiss Ephemeris data is available in the swephRdata package. To access this data package, run install.packages("swephRdata", repos = "https://rstub.r-universe.dev", type = "source")'. The size of the swephRdata package is approximately 115 MB. The user can also use the original JPL DE431 data.

This package contains all the formulae of the growth and trace element uptake model described in the equally-named Geoscientific Model Development paper (de Winter, 2017, <doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137>). The model takes as input a file with X- and Y-coordinates of digitized growth increments recognized on a longitudinal cross section through the bivalve shell, as well as a BMP file of an elemental map of the cross section surface with chemically distinct phases separated by phase analysis. It proceeds by a step-by-step process described in the paper, by which digitized growth increments are used to calculate changes in shell height, shell thickness, shell volume, shell mass and shell growth rate through the bivalve's life time. Then, results of this growth modelling are combined with the trace element mapping results to trace the incorporation of trace elements into the bivalve shell. Results of various modelling parameters can be exported in the form of XLSX files.

This package provides a mostly pure-R implementation of the RAKE algorithm (Rose, S., Engel, D., Cramer, N. and Cowley, W. (2010) <doi:10.1002/9780470689646.ch1>), which can be used to extract keywords from documents without any training data.

This package provides functions for statistical analysis of point processes.

SEM Trees and SEM Forests -- an extension of model-based decision trees and forests to Structural Equation Models (SEM). SEM trees hierarchically split empirical data into homogeneous groups each sharing similar data patterns with respect to a SEM by recursively selecting optimal predictors of these differences. SEM forests are an extension of SEM trees. They are ensembles of SEM trees each built on a random sample of the original data. By aggregating over a forest, we obtain measures of variable importance that are more robust than measures from single trees. A description of the method was published by Brandmaier, von Oertzen, McArdle, & Lindenberger (2013) <doi:10.1037/a0030001> and Arnold, Voelkle, & Brandmaier (2020) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.564403>.

This package provides functions to estimate the density and size of a spatially distributed animal population sampled with an array of passive detectors, such as traps, or by searching polygons or transects.

An assortment of helper functions for doing structural equation modeling, mainly by lavaan for now. Most of them are time-saving functions for common tasks in doing structural equation modeling and reading the output. This package is not for functions that implement advanced statistical procedures. It is a light-weight package for simple functions that do simple tasks conveniently, with as few dependencies as possible.

This package provides a new diagram for the verification of vector variables (wind, current, etc) generated by multiple models against a set of observations is presented in this package. It has been designed as a generalization of the Taylor diagram to two dimensional quantities. It is based on the analysis of the two-dimensional structure of the mean squared error matrix between model and observations. The matrix is divided into the part corresponding to the relative rotation and the bias of the empirical orthogonal functions of the data. The full set of diagnostics produced by the analysis of the errors between model and observational vector datasets comprises the errors in the means, the analysis of the total variance of both datasets, the rotation matrix corresponding to the principal components in observation and model, the angle of rotation of model-derived empirical orthogonal functions respect to the ones from observations, the standard deviation of model and observations, the root mean squared error between both datasets and the squared two-dimensional correlation coefficient. See the output of function UVError() in this package.
