This package creates block designs of fixed size J with at least one treated and control unit per block. Blocks larger than pairs better distinguish effects caused by a treatment from unmeasured confounding in assignment of individuals to treatment. Somewhat counterintuitively, blocks larger than pairs can use more units while attaining better covariate balance and block homogeneity. A forthcoming manuscript by Brumberg and Rosenbaum details the design.

This package provides LaTeX macros to easily and concisely typeset vectors and matrices in a flexible way such as to follow the RIGID notation convention. The package enables the user to define custom commands that can then be used in any math-mode environment to efficiently and rigorously typeset the notational elements commonly used in robotics research (and many other fields) for position vectors, rotation matrices, pose matrices, etc.

Nonparametric estimation and inference of a non-decreasing monotone hazard ratio from a right censored survival dataset. The estimator is based on a generalized Grenander typed estimator, and the inference procedure relies on direct plugin estimation of a first order derivative. More details please refer to the paper "Nonparametric inference under a monotone hazard ratio order" by Y. Wu and T. Westling (2023) <doi:10.1214/23-EJS2173>.

Bagged OutlierTrees is an explainable unsupervised outlier detection method based on an ensemble implementation of the existing OutlierTree procedure (Cortes, 2020). This implementation takes advantage of bootstrap aggregating (bagging) to improve robustness by reducing the possible masking effect and subsequent high variance (similarly to Isolation Forest), hence the name "Bagged OutlierTrees". To learn more about the base procedure OutlierTree (Cortes, 2020), please refer to <arXiv:2001.00636>.

Explains the behavior of a time series by decomposing it into its trend, seasonality and residuals. It is built to perform very well in the presence of significant level shifts. It is designed to play well with any breakpoint algorithm and any smoothing algorithm. Currently defaults to lowess for smoothing and strucchange for breakpoint identification. The package is useful in areas such as trend analysis, time series decomposition, breakpoint identification and anomaly detection.

Beamer is a powerful and convenient document class to create presentations and slides. However, integrating multimedia in it, is still a bit of a faff. The (limited) functionality heavily relies on the availability of Acroread. This package allows you to convert your Beamer presentation to the Reveal.js framework, rendering your presentation as an HTML website in your browser. This allows for easy incorporation of videos, audio fragments, iframe chunks, images and LaTeX animations.

Build and manipulate partially ordered sets (posets), to perform some data analysis on them and to implement multi-criteria decision making procedures. Several efficient ways for generating linear extensions are implemented, together with functions for building mutual ranking probabilities, incomparability, dominance and separation scores (Fattore, M., De Capitani, L., Avellone, A., Suardi, A. (2024). A fuzzy posetic toolbox for multi-criteria evaluation on ordinal data systems. ANNALS OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH <doi:10.1007/s10479-024-06352-3>).

Special procedures for the imputation of missing fuzzy numbers are still underdeveloped. The goal of the package is to provide the new d-imputation method (DIMP for short, Romaniuk, M. and Grzegorzewski, P. (2023) "Fuzzy Data Imputation with DIMP and FGAIN" RB/23/2023) and covert some classical ones applied in R packages ('missForest','miceRanger','knn') for use with fuzzy datasets. Additionally, specially tailored benchmarking tests are provided to check and compare these imputation procedures with fuzzy datasets.

Simple and transparent parsing of genotype/dosage data from an input Variant Call Format (VCF) file, matching of genotype coordinates to the component Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of an existing polygenic score (PGS), and application of SNP weights to dosages for the calculation of a polygenic score for each individual in accordance with the additive weighted sum of dosages model. Methods are designed in reference to best practices described by Collister, Liu, and Clifton (2022) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2022.818574>.

Gene signatures of TB progression, TB disease, and other TB disease states have been validated and published previously. This package aggregates known signatures and provides computational tools to enlist their usage on other datasets. The TBSignatureProfiler makes it easy to profile RNA-Seq data using these signatures and includes common signature profiling tools including ASSIGN, GSVA, and ssGSEA. Original models for some gene signatures are also available. A shiny app provides some functionality alongside for detailed command line accessibility.

Distribution free heteroscedastic tests for functional data. The following tests are included in this package: test of no main treatment or contrast effect and no simple treatment effect given in Wang, Higgins, and Blasi (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2009.11.016>, no main time effect, and no interaction effect based on original observations given in Wang and Akritas (2010a) <doi:10.1080/10485250903171621> and tests based on ranks given in Wang and Akritas (2010b) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2010.03.012>.

Fast design of risk parity portfolios for financial investment. The goal of the risk parity portfolio formulation is to equalize or distribute the risk contributions of the different assets, which is missing if we simply consider the overall volatility of the portfolio as in the mean-variance Markowitz portfolio. In addition to the vanilla formulation, where the risk contributions are perfectly equalized subject to no shortselling and budget constraints, many other formulations are considered that allow for box constraints and shortselling, as well as the inclusion of additional objectives like the expected return and overall variance. See vignette for a detailed documentation and comparison, with several illustrative examples. The package is based on the papers: Y. Feng, and D. P. Palomar (2015). SCRIP: Successive Convex Optimization Methods for Risk Parity Portfolio Design. IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing, vol. 63, no. 19, pp. 5285-5300. <doi:10.1109/TSP.2015.2452219>. F.

The strict_rfc3339 Python module provides strict, simple, lightweight RFC3339 (Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps) procedures.

It enables or aims to:

• Convert UNIX timestamps to and from RFC3339.

• Produce RFC3339 strings with a UTC offset (Z) or with the offset that the C time module reports is the local timezone offset.

• Be simple with minimal dependencies/libraries.

• Avoid timezones as much as possible.

• Be very strict and follow RFC3339.

The ultimate goal is to support 2-2-1, 2-1-1, and 1-1-1 models for multilevel mediation, the option of a moderating variable for either the a, b, or both paths, and covariates. Currently the 1-1-1 model is supported and several options of random effects; the initial code for bootstrapping was evaluated in simulations by Falk, Vogel, Hammami, and MioÄ eviÄ (2024) <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02079-4>. Currently only continuous mediators and outcomes are supported. Factors for any predictors must be numerically represented.

This gem removes common margin from indented strings, such as the ones produced by indented heredocs. In other words, it strips out leading whitespace chars at the beginning of each line, but only as much as the line with the smallest margin.

It is acknowledged that many strings defined by heredocs are just code and fact is that most parsers are insensitive to indentation. If, however, the strings are to be used otherwise, be it for printing or testing, the extra indentation will probably be an issue and hence this gem.

This package provides SPSS'- and SAS'-like output for cross tabulations of two categorical variables (CROSSTABS) and for hierarchical loglinear analyses of two or more categorical variables (LOGLINEAR). The methods are described in Agresti (2013, ISBN:978-0-470-46363-5), Ajzen & Walker (2021, ISBN:9780429330308), Field (2018, ISBN:9781526440273), Norusis (2012, ISBN:978-0-321-74843-0), Nussbaum (2015, ISBN:978-1-84872-603-1), Stevens (2009, ISBN:978-0-8058-5903-4), Tabachnik & Fidell (2019, ISBN:9780134790541), and von Eye & Mun (2013, ISBN:978-1-118-14640-8).

This is a pedagogical package, designed to help students understanding convergence of random variables. It provides a way to investigate interactively various modes of convergence (in probability, almost surely, in law and in mean) of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. Visualisation of simulated sample paths is possible through interactive plots. The approach is illustrated by examples and exercises through the function investigate', as described in Lafaye de Micheaux and Liquet (2009) <doi:10.1198/tas.2009.0032>. The user can study his/her own sequences of random variables.

Engineered features and "helper" functions ancillary to the public.ctn0094data package, extending this package for ease of use (see <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=public.ctn0094data>). This public.ctn0094data package contains harmonized datasets from some of the National Institute of Drug Abuse's Clinical Trials Network (NIDA's CTN) projects. Specifically, the CTN-0094 project is to harmonize and de-identify clinical trials data from the CTN-0027, CTN-0030, and CTN-51 studies for opioid use disorder. This current version is built from public.ctn0094data v. 1.0.6.

This package provides methods for analysis of energy consumption data (electricity, gas, water) at different data measurement intervals. The package provides feature extraction methods and algorithms to prepare data for data mining and machine learning applications. Deatiled descriptions of the methods and their application can be found in Hopf (2019, ISBN:978-3-86309-669-4) "Predictive Analytics for Energy Efficiency and Energy Retailing" <doi:10.20378/irbo-54833> and Hopf et al. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s12525-018-0290-9> "Enhancing energy efficiency in the residential sector with smart meter data analytics".

Many recursive functions share the same structure, e.g. pattern-match on the input and, depending on the data constructor, either recur on a smaller input or terminate the recursion with the base case. Another one: start with a seed value, use it to produce the first element of an infinite list, and recur on a modified seed in order to produce the rest of the list. Such a structure is called a recursion scheme. Using higher-order functions to implement those recursion schemes makes your code clearer, faster, and safer. See README for details.

Fits a piecewise exponential hazard to survival data using a Hierarchical Bayesian model with an Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive formulation for the spatial dependency in the hazard rates for each piece. This function uses Metropolis- Hastings-Green MCMC to allow the number of split points to vary and also uses Stochastic Search Variable Selection to determine what covariates drive the risk of the event. This function outputs trace plots depicting the number of split points in the hazard and the number of variables included in the hazard. The function saves all posterior quantities to the desired path.
