This package provides tools for performing routine analysis and plotting tasks with environmental data from the System Wide Monitoring Program of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System <https://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu/>. This package builds on the functionality of the SWMPr package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=SWMPr>, which is used to retrieve and organize the data. The combined set of tools address common challenges associated with continuous time series data for environmental decision making, and are intended for use in annual reporting activities.

This package provides methods for decomposing seasonal data: STR (a Seasonal-Trend time series decomposition procedure based on Regression) and Robust STR. In some ways, STR is similar to Ridge Regression and Robust STR can be related to LASSO. They allow for multiple seasonal components, multiple linear covariates with constant, flexible and seasonal influence. Seasonal patterns (for both seasonal components and seasonal covariates) can be fractional and flexible over time; moreover they can be either strictly periodic or have a more complex topology. The methods provide confidence intervals for the estimated components. The methods can also be used for forecasting.

Implementation of the SIC epsilon-telescope method, either using single or distributional (multiparameter) regression. Includes classical regression with normally distributed errors and robust regression, where the errors are from the Laplace distribution. The "smooth generalized normal distribution" is used, where the estimation of an additional shape parameter allows the user to move smoothly between both types of regression. See O'Neill and Burke (2022) "Robust Distributional Regression with Automatic Variable Selection" for more details. <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2212.07317>. This package also contains the data analyses from O'Neill and Burke (2023).

Hyvärinen's score matching (Hyvärinen, 2005) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v6/hyvarinen05a.html> is a useful estimation technique when the normalising constant for a probability distribution is difficult to compute. This package implements score matching estimators using automatic differentiation in the CppAD library <https://github.com/coin-or/CppAD> and is designed for quickly implementing score matching estimators for new models. Also available is general robustification (Windham, 1995) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2346159>. Already in the package are estimators for directional distributions (Mardia, Kent and Laha, 2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1604.08470> and the flexible Polynomially-Tilted Pairwise Interaction model for compositional data. The latter estimators perform well when there are zeros in the compositions (Scealy and Wood, 2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.2016422>, even many zeros (Scealy, Hingee, Kent, and Wood, 2024) <doi:10.1007/s11222-024-10412-w>. A partial interface to CppAD's ADFun objects is also available.

This package provides functions to run and assist four different similarity measures. The similarity measures included are: longest common subsequence (LCSS), Frechet distance, edit distance and dynamic time warping (DTW). Each of these similarity measures can be calculated from two n-dimensional trajectories, both in matrix form.

Test published summary statistics for consistency (Brown and Heathers, 2017, <doi:10.1177/1948550616673876>; Allard, 2018, <https://aurelienallard.netlify.app/post/anaytic-grimmer-possibility-standard-deviations/>; Heathers and Brown, 2019, <https://osf.io/5vb3u/>). The package also provides infrastructure for implementing new error detection techniques.

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>.

Estimating the force of infection from time varying, age varying, or constant serocatalytic models from population based seroprevalence studies using a Bayesian framework, including data simulation functions enabling the generation of serological surveys based on this models. This tool also provides a flexible prior specification syntax for the force of infection and the seroreversion rate, as well as methods to assess model convergence and comparison criteria along with useful visualisation functions.

This package provides the SMOTE with Boosting (SMOTEWB) algorithm. See F. SaÄ lam, M. A. Cengiz (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2022.117023>. It is a SMOTE-based resampling technique which creates synthetic data on the links between nearest neighbors. SMOTEWB uses boosting weights to determine where to generate new samples and automatically decides the number of neighbors for each sample. It is robust to noise and outperforms most of the alternatives according to Matthew Correlation Coefficient metric. Alternative resampling methods are also available in the package.

An implementation of sensitivity analysis for phylogenetic comparative methods. The package is an umbrella of statistical and graphical methods that estimate and report different types of uncertainty in PCM: (i) Species Sampling uncertainty (sample size; influential species and clades). (ii) Phylogenetic uncertainty (different topologies and/or branch lengths). (iii) Data uncertainty (intraspecific variation and measurement error).

This package implements the following approaches for multidimensional scaling (MDS) based on stress minimization using majorization (smacof): ratio/interval/ordinal/spline MDS on symmetric dissimilarity matrices, MDS with external constraints on the configuration, individual differences scaling (idioscal, indscal), MDS with spherical restrictions, and ratio/interval/ordinal/spline unfolding (circular restrictions, row-conditional). Various tools and extensions like jackknife MDS, bootstrap MDS, permutation tests, MDS biplots, gravity models, unidimensional scaling, drift vectors (asymmetric MDS), classical scaling, and Procrustes are implemented as well.
