This package provides option settings management that goes beyond R's default options function. With this package, users can define their own option settings manager holding option names, default values and (if so desired) ranges or sets of allowed option values that will be automatically checked. Settings can then be retrieved, altered and reset to defaults with ease. For R programmers and package developers it offers cloning and merging functionality which allows for conveniently defining global and local options, possibly in a multilevel options hierarchy. See the package vignette for some examples concerning functions, S4 classes, and reference classes. There are convenience functions to reset par() and options() to their factory defaults'.

This package creates simulated data from structural equation models with standardized loading. Data generation methods are described in Schneider (2013) <doi:10.1177/0734282913478046>.

This package provides a covariance estimator for multivariate normal data that is sparse and positive definite. Implements the majorize-minimize algorithm described in Bien, J., and Tibshirani, R. (2011), "Sparse Estimation of a Covariance Matrix," Biometrika. 98(4). 807--820.

Soft-margin support vector machines (SVMs) are a common class of classification models. The training of SVMs usually requires that the data be available all at once in a single batch, however the Stochastic majorization-minimization (SMM) algorithm framework allows for the training of SVMs on streamed data instead Nguyen, Jones & McLachlan(2018)<doi:10.1007/s42081-018-0001-y>. This package utilizes the SMM framework to provide functions for training SVMs with hinge loss, squared-hinge loss, and logistic loss.

The implementation of a forecasting-specific tree-based model that is in particular suitable for global time series forecasting, as proposed in Godahewa et al. (2022) <arXiv:2211.08661v1>. The model uses the concept of Self Exciting Threshold Autoregressive (SETAR) models to define the node splits and thus, the model is named SETAR-Tree. The SETAR-Tree uses some time-series-specific splitting and stopping procedures. It trains global pooled regression models in the leaves allowing the models to learn cross-series information. The depth of the tree is controlled by conducting a statistical linearity test as well as measuring the error reduction percentage at each node split. Thus, the SETAR-Tree requires minimal external hyperparameter tuning and provides competitive results under its default configuration. A forest is developed by extending the SETAR-Tree. The SETAR-Forest combines the forecasts provided by a collection of diverse SETAR-Trees during the forecasting process.

Genomic alterations including single nucleotide substitution, copy number alteration, etc. are the major force for cancer initialization and development. Due to the specificity of molecular lesions caused by genomic alterations, we can generate characteristic alteration spectra, called signature (Wang, Shixiang, et al. (2021) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pgen.1009557> & Alexandrov, Ludmil B., et al. (2020) <DOI:10.1038/s41586-020-1943-3> & Steele Christopher D., et al. (2022) <DOI:10.1038/s41586-022-04738-6>). This package helps users to extract, analyze and visualize signatures from genomic alteration records, thus providing new insight into cancer study.

It can either produce a confidence index for variable selection or it can be used in an experimental design planning perspective.

Set of tools to import, summarize, wrangle, and visualize data. These functions were originally written based on the needs of the various synthesis working groups that were supported by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). These tools are meant to be useful inside and outside of the context for which they were designed.

The skew logistic distribution is a quantile-defined generalisation of the logistic distribution (van Staden and King 2015). Provides random numbers, quantiles, probabilities, densities and density quantiles for the distribution. It provides Quantile-Quantile plots and method of L-Moments estimation (including asymptotic standard errors) for the distribution.

The user has the option to utilize the two-dimensional density estimation techniques called smoothed density published by Eilers and Goeman (2004) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btg454>, and pareto density which was evaluated for univariate data by Thrun, Gehlert and Ultsch, 2020 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0238835>. Moreover, it provides visualizations of the density estimation in the form of two-dimensional scatter plots in which the points are color-coded based on increasing density. Colors are defined by the one-dimensional clustering technique called 1D distribution cluster algorithm (DDCAL) published by Lux and Rinderle-Ma (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00357-022-09428-6>.

Generate continuous (normal, non-normal, or mixture distributions), binary, ordinal, and count (regular or zero-inflated, Poisson or Negative Binomial) variables with a specified correlation matrix, or one continuous variable with a mixture distribution. This package can be used to simulate data sets that mimic real-world clinical or genetic data sets (i.e., plasmodes, as in Vaughan et al., 2009 <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2008.02.032>). The methods extend those found in the SimMultiCorrData R package. Standard normal variables with an imposed intermediate correlation matrix are transformed to generate the desired distributions. Continuous variables are simulated using either Fleishman (1978)'s third order <DOI:10.1007/BF02293811> or Headrick (2002)'s fifth order <DOI:10.1016/S0167-9473(02)00072-5> polynomial transformation method (the power method transformation, PMT). Non-mixture distributions require the user to specify mean, variance, skewness, standardized kurtosis, and standardized fifth and sixth cumulants. Mixture distributions require these inputs for the component distributions plus the mixing probabilities. Simulation occurs at the component level for continuous mixture distributions. The target correlation matrix is specified in terms of correlations with components of continuous mixture variables. These components are transformed into the desired mixture variables using random multinomial variables based on the mixing probabilities. However, the package provides functions to approximate expected correlations with continuous mixture variables given target correlations with the components. Binary and ordinal variables are simulated using a modification of ordsample() in package GenOrd'. Count variables are simulated using the inverse CDF method. There are two simulation pathways which calculate intermediate correlations involving count variables differently. Correlation Method 1 adapts Yahav and Shmueli's 2012 method <DOI:10.1002/asmb.901> and performs best with large count variable means and positive correlations or small means and negative correlations. Correlation Method 2 adapts Barbiero and Ferrari's 2015 modification of the GenOrd package <DOI:10.1002/asmb.2072> and performs best under the opposite scenarios. The optional error loop may be used to improve the accuracy of the final correlation matrix. The package also contains functions to calculate the standardized cumulants of continuous mixture distributions, check parameter inputs, calculate feasible correlation boundaries, and summarize and plot simulated variables.

Computes bounds and sensitivity parameters as part of sensitivity analysis for selection bias. Different bounds are provided: the SV (Smith and VanderWeele), sharp bounds, AF (assumption-free) bound, GAF (generalized AF), and CAF (counterfactual AF) bounds. The calculation of the sensitivity parameters for the SV, sharp, and GAF bounds assume an additional dependence structure in form of a generalized M-structure. The bounds can be calculated for any structure as long as the necessary assumptions hold.
