Calculate numerical agricultural soil management indicators from on a management timeline of an arable field. Currently, indicators for carbon (C) input into the soil system, soil tillage intensity rating (STIR), number of soil cover and living plant cover days, N fertilization and livestock intensity, and plant diversity are implemented. The functions can also be used independently of the management timeline to calculate some indicators. The package contains tables with reference information for the functions, as well as a *.xlsx template to collect the management data.

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.

An implementation of the selectboost algorithm (Bertrand et al. 2020, Bioinformatics', <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa855>), which is a general algorithm that improves the precision of any existing variable selection method. This algorithm is based on highly intensive simulations and takes into account the correlation structure of the data. It can either produce a confidence index for variable selection or it can be used in an experimental design planning perspective.

The focus is on simulating and modeling families with founders drawn from a structured population (for example, with different ancestries or other potentially non-family relatedness), in contrast to traditional pedigree analysis that treats all founders as equally unrelated. Main function simulates a random pedigree for many generations, avoiding close relatives, pairing closest individuals according to a 1D geography and their randomly-drawn sex, and with variable children sizes to result in a target population size per generation. Auxiliary functions calculate kinship matrices, admixture matrices, and draw random genotypes across arbitrary pedigree structures starting from the corresponding founder values. The code is built around the plink FAM table format for pedigrees. Described in Yao and Ochoa (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.03.25.485885>.

This package provides functions for conducting jackknife Euclidean / empirical likelihood inference for Spearman's rho (de Carvalho and Marques (2012) <doi:10.1080/10920277.2012.10597644>).

The Simulation-based Sampling Protocol (SSP) is an R package designed to estimate sampling effort in studies of ecological communities. It is based on the concept of pseudo-multivariate standard error (MultSE) (Anderson & Santana-Garcon, 2015, <doi:10.1111/ele.12385>) and the simulation of ecological data. The theoretical background is described in Guerra-Castro et al. (2020, <doi:10.1111/ecog.05284>).

Wraps the rstac package with a pipe-friendly, tidy API. All results return tibbles instead of nested lists. Ships with a catalog registry of known STAC endpoints including Planetary Computer, Earth Search, and USGS', while supporting any STAC API URL.

Carries out a two-level sample selection where the possibility of an initially selected site not wanting to participate is anticipated, and the site is optimally replaced. The procedure aims to reduce bias (and/or loss of external validity) with respect to the target population. In selecting units and sub-units, sitepickR uses the cube method developed by Deville & Tillé', (2004) <http://www.math.helsinki.fi/msm/banocoss/Deville_Tille_2004.pdf> and described in Tillé (2011) <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/12-001-x/2011002/article/11609-eng.pdf?st=5-sx8Q8n>. The cube method is a probability sampling method that is designed to satisfy criteria for balance between the sample and the population. Recent research has shown that this method performs well in simulations for studies of educational programs (see Fay & Olsen (2021, under review). To implement the cube method, sitepickR uses the sampling R package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=sampling>. To implement statistical matching, sitepickR uses the MatchIt R package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=MatchIt>.

This is a collection of various kinds of data with broad uses for teaching. My students, and academics like me who teach the same topics I teach, should find this useful if their teaching workflow is also built around the R programming language. The applications are multiple but mostly cluster on topics of statistical methodology, international relations, and political economy.

This package provides Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) routine for the structural equation modelling described in Maity et. al. (2020) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa286>. This MCMC sampler is useful when one attempts to perform an integrative survival analysis for multiple platforms of the Omics data where the response is time to event and the predictors are different omics expressions for different platforms.

This package provides tools for sample survey planning, including sample size calculation, estimation of expected precision for the estimates of totals, and calculation of optimal sample size allocation.

This package implements Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) for Small Area Estimation under Fay Herriot Model. Small Area Estimation is used to borrow strength from auxiliary variables to improve the effectiveness of a domain sample size. This package uses Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP). The Additive Logistic Transformation (alr) are based on transformation by Aitchison J (1986). The covariance matrix for multivariate application is based on covariance matrix used by Esteban M, Lombardà a M, López-Vizcaà no E, Morales D, and Pérez A <doi:10.1007/s11749-019-00688-w>. The non-sampled models are modified area-level models based on models proposed by Anisa R, Kurnia A, and Indahwati I <doi:10.9790/5728-10121519>, with univariate model using model-3, and multivariate model using model-1. The MSE are estimated using Parametric Bootstrap approach. For non-sampled cases, MSE are estimated using modified approach proposed by Haris F and Ubaidillah A <doi:10.4108/eai.2-8-2019.2290339>.

Estimates correlation coefficients with associated confidence limits for bivariate, partially censored survival times. Uses the iterative multiple imputation approach proposed by Schemper, Kaider, Wakounig and Heinze (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.5874>. Provides a scatterplot function to visualize the bivariate distribution, either on the original time scale or as copula.

Fits a semiparametric spatiotemporal model for data with mixed frequencies, specifically where the response variable is observed at a lower frequency than some covariates. The estimation uses an iterative backfitting algorithm that combines a non-parametric smoothing spline for high-frequency data, parametric estimation for low-frequency and spatial neighborhood effects, and an autoregressive error structure. Methodology based on Malabanan, Lansangan, and Barrios (2022) <https://scienggj.org/2022/SciEnggJ%202022-vol15-no02-p90-107-Malabanan%20et%20al.pdf>.

This package provides a switch-case construct for R', as it is known from other programming languages. It allows to test multiple, similar conditions in an efficient, easy-to-read manner, so nested if-else constructs can be avoided. The switch-case construct is designed as an R function that allows to return values depending on which condition is met and lets the programmer flexibly decide whether or not to leave the switch-case construct after a case block has been executed.
