This package provides simple and powerful interfaces that facilitate interaction with ODBC data sources. Each data source gets its own unique and dedicated interface, wrapped around RODBC'. Communication settings are remembered between queries, and are managed silently in the background. The interfaces support multi-statement SQL scripts, which can be parameterised via metaprogramming structures and embedded R expressions.

The SAVVY (Survival Analysis for AdVerse Events with VarYing Follow-Up Times) project is a consortium of academic and pharmaceutical industry partners that aims to improve the analyses of adverse event (AE) data in clinical trials through the use of survival techniques appropriately dealing with varying follow-up times and competing events, see Stegherr, Schmoor, Beyersmann, et al. (2021) <doi:10.1186/s13063-021-05354-x>. Although statistical methodologies have advanced, in AE analyses often the incidence proportion, the incidence density or a non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimator are used, which either ignore censoring or competing events. This package contains functions to easily conduct the proposed improved AE analyses.

This package implements the basic elements of the multi-model inference paradigm for up to twenty species-area relationship models (SAR), using simple R list-objects and functions, as in Triantis et al. 2012 <DOI:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2011.02652.x>. The package is scalable and users can easily create their own model and data objects. Additional SAR related functions are provided.

The Semi Parametric Piecewise Distribution blends the Generalized Pareto Distribution for the tails with a kernel based interior.

Estimation of two-state (survival) models and irreversible illness- death models with possibly interval-censored, left-truncated and right-censored data. Proportional intensities regression models can be specified to allow for covariates effects separately for each transition. We use either a parametric approach with Weibull baseline intensities or a semi-parametric approach with M-splines approximation of baseline intensities in order to obtain smooth estimates of the hazard functions. Parameter estimates are obtained by maximum likelihood in the parametric approach and by penalized maximum likelihood in the semi-parametric approach.

Adds variable-selection functions for Beta regression models (both mean and phi submodels) so they can be used within the SelectBoost algorithm. Includes stepwise AIC, BIC, and corrected AIC on betareg() fits, gamlss'-based LASSO/Elastic-Net, a pure glmnet iterative re-weighted least squares-based selector with an optional standardization speedup, and C++ helpers for iterative re-weighted least squares working steps and precision updates. Also provides a fastboost_interval() variant for interval responses, comparison helpers, and a flexible simulator simulation_DATA.beta() for interval-valued data. For more details see Bertrand and Maumy (2023) <doi:10.7490/f1000research.1119552.1>.

This package provides a coalescent simulator that allows the rapid simulation of biological sequences under neutral models of evolution, see Staab et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu861>. Different to other coalescent based simulations, it has an optional approximation parameter that allows for high accuracy while maintaining a linear run time cost for long sequences. It is optimized for simulating massive data sets as produced by Next- Generation Sequencing technologies for up to several thousand sequences.

This package provides tools to compute and assess significance of early-warnings signals (EWS) of ecosystem degradation. EWS are spatial metrics derived from raster data -- e.g. spatial autocorrelation -- that increase before an ecosystem undergoes a non-linear transition (Genin et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13058>).
