Stratigraphic ranges of fossil marine animal genera from Sepkoski's (2002) published compendium. No changes have been made to any taxonomic names. However, first and last appearance intervals have been updated to be consistent with stages of the International Geological Timescale. Functionality for generating a plot of Sepkoski's evolutionary fauna is also included. For specific details on the compendium see: Sepkoski, J. J. (2002). A compendium of fossil marine animal genera. Bulletins of American Paleontology, 363, pp. 1â 560 (ISBN 0-87710-450-6). Access: <https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/40634#page/5/mode/1up>.

Within epidemic outbreaks, infections grow and decline differently between regions, and the velocity of spatial spread differs between countries. The swash library offers a set of model-based analyses for these topics. Spread velocity may be analysed with the Swash-Backwash Model for the Single Epidemic Wave and corresponding functions for bootstrap confidence intervals, country comparison, and visualization of results. Differences in epidemic growth between regions may be analysed using logistic growth models, exponential growth models, Hawkes processes and breakpoint analyses. All functionalities are accessed by the class "infpan" for infections panel data defined in this package, which is built from a data.frame provided by the user.

Statistical performance measures used in the econometric literature to evaluate conditional covariance/correlation matrix estimates (MSE, MAE, Euclidean distance, Frobenius distance, Stein distance, asymmetric loss function, eigenvalue loss function and the loss function defined in Eq. (4.6) of Engle et al. (2016) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.2814555>). Additionally, compute Eq. (3.1) and (4.2) of Li et al. (2016) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2015.1092975> to compare the factor loading matrix. The statistical performance measures implemented have been previously used in, for instance, Laurent et al. (2012) <doi:10.1002/jae.1248>, Amendola et al. (2015) <doi:10.1002/for.2322> and Becker et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2013.11.007>.

Implementation of uniformity tests on the circle and (hyper)sphere. The main function of the package is unif_test(), which conveniently collects more than 35 tests for assessing uniformity on S^p-1 = x in R^p : ||x|| = 1, p >= 2. The test statistics are implemented in the unif_stat() function, which allows computing several statistics for different samples within a single call, thus facilitating Monte Carlo experiments. Furthermore, the unif_stat_MC() function allows parallelizing them in a simple way. The asymptotic null distributions of the statistics are available through the function unif_stat_distr(). The core of sphunif is coded in C++ by relying on the Rcpp package. The package also provides several novel datasets and gives the replicability for the data applications/simulations in Garcà a-Portugués et al. (2021) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-69944-4_12>, Garcà a-Portugués et al. (2023) <doi:10.3150/21-BEJ1454>, Fernández-de-Marcos and Garcà a-Portugués (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2024.110218>, and Garcà a-Portugués et al. (2025) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2025.2566414>.

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 computation of a seasonal index is a fundamental step in time-series forecasting when the data exhibits seasonality. Specifically, a seasonal index quantifies â for each season (e.g. month, quarter, week) â the relative magnitude of the seasonal effect compared to the overall average level of the series. This package has been developed to compute seasonal index for time series data and it also seasonalise and desesaonalise the time series data.

This package implements the Stable Balancing Weights by Zubizarreta (2015) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2015.1023805>. These are the weights of minimum variance that approximately balance the empirical distribution of the observed covariates. For an overview, see Chattopadhyay, Hase and Zubizarreta (2020) <DOI:10.1002/sim.8659>. To solve the optimization problem in sbw', the default solver is quadprog', which is readily available through CRAN. The solver osqp is also posted on CRAN. To enhance the performance of sbw', users are encouraged to install other solvers such as gurobi and Rmosek', which require special installation. For the installation of gurobi and pogs, please follow the instructions at <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r.html> and <http://foges.github.io/pogs/stp/r>.

This package implements Transmission Channel Analysis (TCA) for structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models following the methodology of Wegner, Lieb, and Smeekes (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2405.18987>. TCA decomposes impulse response functions (IRFs) into contributions from distinct transmission channels using a systems form representation and directed acyclic graph (DAG) path analysis. Supports overlapping channels, exhaustive 3-way and 4-way decompositions via inclusion-exclusion principle. This is a parallel R implementation of the tca-matlab-toolbox (<https://github.com/enweg/tca-matlab-toolbox>).

Simultaneous tests and confidence intervals are provided for one-way experimental designs with one or many normally distributed, primary response variables (endpoints). Differences (Hasler and Hothorn, 2011 <doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1258>) or ratios (Hasler and Hothorn, 2012 <doi:10.1080/19466315.2011.633868>) of means can be considered. Various contrasts can be chosen, unbalanced sample sizes are allowed as well as heterogeneous variances (Hasler and Hothorn, 2008 <doi:10.1002/bimj.200710466>) or covariance matrices (Hasler, 2014 <doi:10.1515/ijb-2012-0015>).

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>.

SCEPtER pipeline for estimating the stellar age for double-lined detached binary systems. The observational constraints adopted in the recovery are the effective temperature, the metallicity [Fe/H], the mass, and the radius of the two stars. The results are obtained adopting a maximum likelihood technique over a grid of pre-computed stellar models.

Computes the entire regularization path for the two-class svm classifier with essentially the same cost as a single SVM fit.

This package provides tools for shoreline dating coastal Stone Age sites. The implemented method was developed in Roalkvam (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107880> for the Norwegian Skagerrak coast. Although it can be extended to other areas, this also forms the core area for application of the package. Shoreline dating is based on the present-day elevation of a site, a reconstruction of past relative sea-level change, and empirically derived estimates of the likely elevation of the sites above the contemporaneous sea-level when they were in use. The geographical and temporal coverage of the method thus follows from the availability of local geological reconstructions of shoreline displacement and the degree to which the settlements to be dated have been located on or close to the shoreline when they were in use. Methods for numerical treatment and visualisation of the dates are provided, along with basic tools for visualising and evaluating the location of sites.
