This package provides tests for segregation distortion in F1 polyploid populations under different assumptions of meiosis. These tests can account for double reduction, partial preferential pairing, and genotype uncertainty through the use of genotype likelihoods. Parallelization support is provided. Details of these methods are described in Gerard et al. (2025a) <doi:10.1007/s00122-025-04816-z> and Gerard et al. (2025b) <doi:10.1101/2025.06.23.661114>. Part of this material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2132247.

Estimation of various biodiversity indices and related (dis)similarity measures based on individual-based (abundance) data or sampling-unit-based (incidence) data taken from one or multiple communities/assemblages.

An extension of the AlphaSimR package (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=AlphaSimR>) for stochastic simulations of honeybee populations and breeding programmes. SIMplyBee enables simulation of individual bees that form a colony, which includes a queen, fathers (drones the queen mated with), virgin queens, workers, and drones. Multiple colony can be merged into a population of colonies, such as an apiary or a whole country of colonies. Functions enable operations on castes, colony, or colonies, to ease R scripting of whole populations. All AlphaSimR functionality with respect to genomes and genetic and phenotype values is available and further extended for honeybees, including haplo-diploidy, complementary sex determiner locus, colony events (swarming, supersedure, etc.), and colony phenotype values.

Fast computation of the required sample size or the achieved power, for GWAS studies with different types of covariate effects and different types of covariate-gene dependency structure. For the detailed description of the methodology, see Zhang (2022) "Power and Sample Size Computation for Genetic Association Studies of Binary Traits: Accounting for Covariate Effects" <arXiv:2203.15641>.

Provide model averaging-based approaches that can be used to predict personalized survival probabilities. The key underlying idea is to approximate the conditional survival function using a weighted average of multiple candidate models. Two scenarios of candidate models are allowed: (Scenario 1) partial linear Cox model and (Scenario 2) time-varying coefficient Cox model. A reference of the underlying methods is Li and Wang (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2023.107759>.

The stress addition approach is an alternative to the traditional concentration addition or effect addition models. It allows the modelling of tri-phasic concentration-response relationships either as single toxicant experiments, in combination with an environmental stressor or as mixtures of two toxicants. See Liess et al. (2019) <doi:10.1038/s41598-019-51645-4> and Liess et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12302-020-00394-7>.

Unsupervised text tokenizer allowing to perform byte pair encoding and unigram modelling. Wraps the sentencepiece library <https://github.com/google/sentencepiece> which provides a language independent tokenizer to split text in words and smaller subword units. The techniques are explained in the paper "SentencePiece: A simple and language independent subword tokenizer and detokenizer for Neural Text Processing" by Taku Kudo and John Richardson (2018) <doi:10.18653/v1/D18-2012>. Provides as well straightforward access to pretrained byte pair encoding models and subword embeddings trained on Wikipedia using word2vec', as described in "BPEmb: Tokenization-free Pre-trained Subword Embeddings in 275 Languages" by Benjamin Heinzerling and Michael Strube (2018) <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2018/pdf/1049.pdf>.

It allows running Praat scripts from R and it provides some wrappers for basic plotting. It also adds support for literate markdown tangling. The package is designed to bring reproducible phonetic research into R.

Simulate survival times from standard parametric survival distributions (exponential, Weibull, Gompertz), 2-component mixture distributions, or a user-defined hazard, log hazard, cumulative hazard, or log cumulative hazard function. Baseline covariates can be included under a proportional hazards assumption. Time dependent effects (i.e. non-proportional hazards) can be included by interacting covariates with linear time or a user-defined function of time. Clustered event times are also accommodated. The 2-component mixture distributions can allow for a variety of flexible baseline hazard functions reflecting those seen in practice. If the user wishes to provide a user-defined hazard or log hazard function then this is possible, and the resulting cumulative hazard function does not need to have a closed-form solution. For details see the supporting paper <doi:10.18637/jss.v097.i03>. Note that this package is modelled on the survsim package available in the Stata software (see Crowther and Lambert (2012) <https://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=st0275> or Crowther and Lambert (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.5823>).

Output colors used in literal vectors, palettes and plot objects (ggplot).

Infrastructure and functions that can be used for integrating Stan (Carpenter et al. (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01>) code into stand alone R packages which in turn use the CmdStan engine which is often accessed through CmdStanR'. Details given in Stan Development Team (2025) <https://mc-stan.org/cmdstanr/>. Using CmdStanR and pre-written Stan code can make package installation easy. Using staninside offers a way to cache user-compiled Stan models in user-specified directories reducing the need to recompile the same model multiple times.

Linkage disequilibrium visualizations of up to several hundreds of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), annotated with chromosomic positions and gene names. Two types of plots are available for small numbers of SNPs (<40) and for large numbers (tested up to 500). Both can be extended by combining other ggplots, e.g. association studies results, and functions enable to directly visualize the effect of SNP selection methods, as minor allele frequency filtering and TagSNP selection, with a second correlation heatmap. The SNPs correlations are computed on Genotype Data objects from the GWASTools package using the SNPRelate package, and the plots are customizable ggplot2 and gtable objects and are annotated using the biomaRt package. Usage is detailed in the vignette with example data and results from up to 500 SNPs of 1,200 scans are in Charlon T. (2019) <doi:10.13097/archive-ouverte/unige:161795>.

Aggregates large single-cell data into metacell dataset by merging together gene expression of very similar cells. SuperCell uses velocyto.R <doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0414-6> <https://github.com/velocyto-team/velocyto.R> for RNA velocity and WeightedCluster <doi:10.12682/lives.2296-1658.2013.24> <https://mephisto.unige.ch/weightedcluster/> for weighted clustering on metacells. We also recommend installing scater Bioconductor package <doi:10.18129/B9.bioc.scater> <https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/scater.html>.

This package produces tables with descriptive statistics for continuous, categorical and dichotomous variables. It is largely based on the package gtsummary'; Sjoberg DD et al. (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-053>.

Computes the required sample size for estimation of totals, means and proportions under complex sampling designs.

This package provides a unifying framework for managing and deploying shiny applications that consist of modules, where an "app" is a tab-based workflow that guides a user step-by-step through an analysis. The shinymgr app builder "stitches" shiny modules together so that outputs from one module serve as inputs to the next, creating an analysis pipeline that is easy to implement and maintain. Users of shinymgr apps can save analyses as an RDS file that fully reproduces the analytic steps and can be ingested into an R Markdown report for rapid reporting. In short, developers use the shinymgr framework to write modules and seamlessly combine them into shiny apps, and users of these apps can execute reproducible analyses that can be incorporated into reports for rapid dissemination.

The past decade has demonstrated an increased need to better understand risks leading to systemic crises. This framework offers scholars, practitioners and policymakers a useful toolbox to explore such risks in financial systems. Specifically, this framework provides popular econometric and network measures to monitor systemic risk and to measure the consequences of regulatory decisions. These systemic risk measures are based on the frameworks of Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016) <doi:10.1257/aer.20120555> and Billio, Getmansky, Lo and Pelizzon (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2011.12.010>.
