This package contains space filling based tools for machine learning and data mining. Some functions offer several computational techniques and deal with the out of memory for large big data by using the ff package.

Analyse light spectra for visual and non-visual (often called melanopic) needs, wrapped up in a Shiny App. Spectran allows for the import of spectra in various CSV forms but also provides a wide range of example spectra and even the creation of own spectral power distributions. The goal of the app is to provide easy access and a visual overview of the spectral calculations underlying common parameters used in the field. It is thus ideal for educational purposes or the creation of presentation ready graphs in lighting research and application. Spectran uses equations and action spectra described in CIE S026 (2018) <doi:10.25039/S026.2018>, DIN/TS 5031-100 (2021) <doi:10.31030/3287213>, and ISO/CIE 23539 (2023) <doi:10.25039/IS0.CIE.23539.2023>.

Simulation tools to evaluate the long-term effects of salmon management strategies, including a combination of habitat, harvest, and habitat actions. The stochastic age-structured operating model accommodates complex life histories, including freshwater survival across early life stages, juvenile survival and fishery exploitation in the marine life stage, partial maturity by age class, and fitness impacts of hatchery programs on natural spawning populations. salmonMSE also provides an age-structured conditioning model to develop operating models fitted to data.

Routines for computing different types of linear estimators, based on instrumental variables (IVs), including the semi-parametric Stein-like (SPS) estimator, originally introduced by Judge and Mittelhammer (2004) <DOI:10.1198/016214504000000430>.

Combining Predictive Analytics and Experimental Design to Optimize Results. To be utilized to select a test data calibrated training population in high dimensional prediction problems and assumes that the explanatory variables are observed for all of the individuals. Once a "good" training set is identified, the response variable can be obtained only for this set to build a model for predicting the response in the test set. The algorithms in the package can be tweaked to solve some other subset selection problems.

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 a collection of classes and methods for working with indexed rectangular data. The index values can be calendar (timeSeries class) or numeric (signalSeries class). Methods are included for aggregation, alignment, merging, and summaries. The code was originally available in S-PLUS'.

Univariate stratification of survey populations with a generalization of the Lavallee-Hidiroglou method of stratum construction. The generalized method takes into account a discrepancy between the stratification variable and the survey variable. The determination of the optimal boundaries also incorporate, if desired, an anticipated non-response, a take-all stratum for large units, a take-none stratum for small units, and a certainty stratum to ensure that some specific units are in the sample. The well known cumulative root frequency rule of Dalenius and Hodges and the geometric rule of Gunning and Horgan are also implemented.

Practitioners of Bayesian statistics often use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers to sample from a posterior distribution. This package determines whether the MCMC sample is large enough to yield reliable estimates of the target distribution. In particular, this calculates a Gelman-Rubin convergence diagnostic using stable and consistent estimators of Monte Carlo variance. Additionally, this uses the connection between an MCMC sample's effective sample size and the Gelman-Rubin diagnostic to produce a threshold for terminating MCMC simulation. Finally, this informs the user whether enough samples have been collected and (if necessary) estimates the number of samples needed for a desired level of accuracy. The theory underlying these methods can be found in "Revisiting the Gelman-Rubin Diagnostic" by Vats and Knudson (2018) <arXiv:1812:09384>.

This package provides functions for computing test subscores using different methods in both classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). This package enables three types of subscoring methods within the framework of CTT and IRT, including (1) Wainer's augmentation method (Wainer et. al., 2001) <doi:10.4324/9781410604729>, (2) Haberman's subscoring methods (Haberman, 2008) <doi:10.3102/1076998607302636>, and (3) Yen's objective performance index (OPI; Yen, 1987) <https://www.ets.org/research/policy_research_reports/publications/paper/1987/hrap>. It also includes functions to compute Proportional Reduction of Mean Squared Errors (PRMSEs) in Haberman's methods which are used to examine whether test subscores are of added value. In addition, the package includes a function to assess the local independence assumption of IRT with Yen's Q3 statistic (Yen, 1984 <doi:10.1177/014662168400800201>; Yen, 1993 <doi:10.1111/j.1745-3984.1993.tb00423.x>).
