This package provides an efficient and very flexible framework to conduct data-driven epidemiological modeling in realistic large scale disease spread simulations. The framework integrates infection dynamics in subpopulations as continuous-time Markov chains using the Gillespie stochastic simulation algorithm and incorporates available data such as births, deaths and movements as scheduled events at predefined time-points. Using C code for the numerical solvers and OpenMP (if available) to divide work over multiple processors ensures high performance when simulating a sample outcome. One of our design goals was to make the package extendable and enable usage of the numerical solvers from other R extension packages in order to facilitate complex epidemiological research. The package contains template models and can be extended with user-defined models. For more details see the paper by Widgren, Bauer, Eriksson and Engblom (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i12>. The package also provides functionality to fit models to time series data using the Approximate Bayesian Computation Sequential Monte Carlo ('ABC-SMC') algorithm of Toni and others (2009) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2008.0172> or the Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo ('PMCMC') algorithm of Andrieu and others (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2009.00736.x>.

This package provides a pipeline for the comparative analysis of collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, baboon troops) by processing 2-dimensional positional data (x,y,t) from GPS trackers or computer vision tracking systems, discretizing events of collective motion, calculating a set of established metrics that characterize each event, and placing the events in a multi-dimensional swarm space constructed from these metrics. The swarm space concept, the metrics and data sets included are described in: Papadopoulou Marina, Furtbauer Ines, O'Bryan Lisa R., Garnier Simon, Georgopoulou Dimitra G., Bracken Anna M., Christensen Charlotte and King Andrew J. (2023) <doi:10.1098/rstb.2022.0068>.

This package provides tools to compute and analyze the set of statistically-equivalent (Gaussian, linear) path models which generate the input precision or (partial) correlation matrix. This procedure is useful for understanding how statistical network models such as the Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) perform as causal discovery tools. The statistical-equivalence set of a given GGM expresses the uncertainty we have about the sign, size and direction of directed relationships based on the weights matrix of the GGM alone. The derivation of the equivalence set and its use for understanding GGMs as causal discovery tools is described by Ryan, O., Bringmann, L.F., & Schuurman, N.K. (2022) <doi: 10.31234/osf.io/ryg69>.

Parameter inference methods for models defined implicitly using a random simulator. Inference is carried out using simulation-based estimates of the log-likelihood of the data. The inference methods implemented in this package are explained in Park, J. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arxiv.2311.09446>. These methods are built on a simulation metamodel which assumes that the estimates of the log-likelihood are approximately normally distributed with the mean function that is locally quadratic around its maximum. Parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification can be carried out using the ht() function (for hypothesis testing) and the ci() function (for constructing a confidence interval for one-dimensional parameters).

Takes as input a stable oxygen isotope (d18O) profile measured in growth direction (D) through a shell + uncertainties in both variables (d18O_err & D_err). It then models the seasonality in the d18O record by fitting a combination of a growth and temperature sine wave to year-length chunks of the data (see Judd et al., (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.palaeo.2017.09.034>). This modeling is carried out along a sliding window through the data and yields estimates of the day of the year (Julian Day) and local growth rate for each data point. Uncertainties in both modeling routine and the data itself are propagated and pooled to obtain a confidence envelope around the age of each data point in the shell. The end result is a shell chronology consisting of estimated ages of shell formation relative to the annual cycle with their uncertainties. All formulae in the package serve this purpose, but the user can customize the model (e.g. number of days in a year and the mineralogy of the shell carbonate) through input parameters.

Selective sweep is a biological phenomenon in which genetic variation between neighboring beneficial mutant alleles is swept away due to the effect of genetic hitchhiking. Detection of selective sweep is not well acquainted as well as it is a laborious job. This package is a user friendly approach for detecting selective sweep in genomic regions. It uses a Random Forest based machine learning approach to predict selective sweep from VCF files as an input. Input of this function, train data and new data, can be computed using the project <https://github.com/AbhikSarkar1999/SweepDiscovery> in GitHub'. This package has been developed by using the concept of Pavlidis and Alachiotis (2017) <doi:10.1186/s40709-017-0064-0>.

Use behavioural variables to score activity and infer sleep from bouts of immobility. It is primarily designed to score sleep in fruit flies from Drosophila Activity Monitor (TriKinetics) and Ethoscope data. It implements sleep scoring using the "five-minute rule" (Hendricks et al. (2000) <DOI:10.1016/S0896-6273(00)80877-6>), activity classification for Ethoscopes (Geissmann et al. (2017) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pbio.2003026>) and a new algorithm to detect when animals are dead.

Publication bias, the fact that studies identified for inclusion in a meta analysis do not represent all studies on the topic of interest, is commonly recognized as a threat to the validity of the results of a meta analysis. One way to explicitly model publication bias is via selection models or weighted probability distributions. In this package we provide implementations of several parametric and nonparametric weight functions. The novelty in Rufibach (2011) is the proposal of a non-increasing variant of the nonparametric weight function of Dear & Begg (1992). The new approach potentially offers more insight in the selection process than other methods, but is more flexible than parametric approaches. To maximize the log-likelihood function proposed by Dear & Begg (1992) under a monotonicity constraint we use a differential evolution algorithm proposed by Ardia et al (2010a, b) and implemented in Mullen et al (2009). In addition, we offer a method to compute a confidence interval for the overall effect size theta, adjusted for selection bias as well as a function that computes the simulation-based p-value to assess the null hypothesis of no selection as described in Rufibach (2011, Section 6).

Utility functions that help with common base-R problems relating to lists. Lists in base-R are very flexible. This package provides functions to quickly and easily characterize types of lists. That is, to identify if all elements in a list are null, data.frames, lists, or fully named lists. Other functionality is provided for the handling of lists, such as the easy splitting of lists into equally sized groups, and the unnesting of data.frames within fully named lists.

All methods are described in detail in Parast, et al (2020) "Assessing the Value of a Censored Surrogate Outcome" <doi:10.1007/s10985-019-09473-1> and Wang et al (2025) "Model-free Approach to Evaluate a Censored Intermediate Outcome as a Surrogate for Overall Survival" <doi:10.1002/sim.70268>.

Implement a GAM-based (Generalized Additive Models) spatial surplus production model (spatial SPM), aimed at modeling northern shrimp population in Atlantic Canada but potentially to any stock in any location. The package is opinionated in its implementation of SPMs as it internally makes the choice to use penalized spatial gams with time lags. However, it also aims to provide options for the user to customize their model. The methods are described in Pedersen et al. (2022, <https://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/ResDocs-DocRech/2022/2022_062-eng.html>).

This package provides tools for splitting large Excel worksheets into multiple smaller sheets based on a specified number of rows per chunk. The package reads Excel files, partitions the data efficiently using the data.table package, and writes the resulting subsets into a single workbook with multiple sheets using the openxlsx package. This is useful for handling large datasets, preparing data for reporting, and exporting manageable Excel files for downstream analysis.
