This package provides tools for an automated identification of diagnostic molecular characters, i.e. such columns in a given nucleotide or amino acid alignment that allow to distinguish taxa from each other. These characters can then be used to complement the formal descriptions of the taxa, which are often based on morphological and anatomical features. Especially for morphologically cryptic species, this will be helpful. QUIDDICH distinguishes between four different types of diagnostic characters. For more information, see "Kuehn, A.L., Haase, M. 2019. QUIDDICH: QUick IDentification of DIagnostic CHaracters.".

Web-based interactive charts (using D3.js) for the analysis of experimental crosses to identify genetic loci (quantitative trait loci, QTL) contributing to variation in quantitative traits. Broman (2015) <doi:10.1534/genetics.114.172742>.

This package provides a wrapper around the quaqc program described in Tremblay and Questa (2024) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btae649>. quaqc allows for assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) specific quality control and read filtering of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data with minimal processing time and extremely low memory overhead. Any number of samples can be processed, using multiple threads if desired. quaqc outputs a comprehensive set of aligned read metrics, including alignment size, fragment size, percent duplicates, mapq scores, read depth, GC content, and others. Although designed for ATAC-seq data, quaqc can also be used for other unspliced DNA sequencing experiments (such as chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, or ChIP-seq) as many of the metrics are related to general sequencing quality. This R package also provides additional utilities for custom analyses and plotting of quaqc results.

Implementations of the quantile slice sampler of Heiner et al. (2024+, in preparation) as well as other popular slice samplers are provided. Helper functions for specifying pseudo-target distributions are included, both for diagnostics and for tuning the quantile slice sampler. Other implemented methods include the generalized elliptical slice sampler of Nishihara et al. (2014)<https://jmlr.org/papers/v15/nishihara14a.html

This package provides convenience utilities for using DuckDB directly over datasets stored in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS Gen2, abfss://'). Opens connections configured for Azure-backed Delta Lake and Parquet data, registers Azure credentials as DuckDB secrets, and supports optional repository mirrors for restricted networks. Integrates well with DBI for SQL workflows and with dplyr and dbplyr for lazy table queries.

Implementation of a computationally efficient method for simulating queues with arbitrary arrival and service times. Please see Ebert, Wu, Mengersen & Ruggeri (2020, <doi:10.18637/jss.v095.i05>) for further details.

Basic functions for building parsers, with an application to PC-AXIS format files.

This package provides tools for (automated and manual) quality control of the results of Genome Wide Association Studies.

This package provides functions for simulation, estimation, and model selection of finite mixtures of Tukey g-and-h distributions. The author has retired from academic research. Accordingly, this package should not be considered a validated tool for use in peer-reviewed publications or as the basis for grant applications. Backward compatibility with user-code published in <doi:10.1007/s11222-025-10596-9> is not maintained in versions >= 0.3.0 (July 2026) of this package. The authors of those publications are the appropriate contacts for reproducibility inquiries.

This package provides a copula-based measure for quantifying asymmetry in dependence and associations. Documentation and theory about qad is provided by the paper by Junker, Griessenberger & Trutschnig (2021, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2020.107058>), and the paper by Trutschnig (2011, <doi:10.1016/j.jmaa.2011.06.013>).

The quantity-intensity (Q/I) relationships, first introduced by Beckett (1964), can be employed to assess the K supplying capacity of different soils based on solid-solution exchange equilibria. Such relationships describe the changes in K+ concentration in the soil solution (or the intensity factor) in relation to the corresponding changes in K+ at exchange sites of the soil (or the capacity or quantity factor). Activity ratio of K to Ca or Ca+Mg is generally used as the variable denoting the intensity, whereas, change in exchangeable K is used to denote the quantity factor.

Offers a suite of functions to prepare questionnaire data for analysis (perhaps other types of data as well). By data preparation, I mean data analytic tasks to get your raw data ready for statistical modeling (e.g., regression). There are functions to investigate missing data, reshape data, validate responses, recode variables, score questionnaires, center variables, aggregate by groups, shift scores (i.e., leads or lags), etc. It provides functions for both single level and multilevel (i.e., grouped) data. With a few exceptions (e.g., ncases()), functions without an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., center_by()) act on atomic vectors, while functions with an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., centers_by()) act on multiple columns of a data.frame.
