Sample size estimation and blinded sample size reestimation in Adaptive Study Design.

Evaluating the consistency assumption of Network Meta-Analysis both globally and locally in the Bayesian framework. Inconsistencies are located by applying Bayesian variable selection to the inconsistency factors. The implementation of the method is described by Seitidis et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9891>.

This package provides tools and methods to simulate populations for surveys based on auxiliary data. The tools include model-based methods, calibration and combinatorial optimization algorithms, see Templ, Kowarik and Meindl (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v079.i10>) and Templ (2017) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-50272-4>. The package was developed with support of the International Household Survey Network, DFID Trust Fund TF011722 and funds from the World bank.

The QuadTree data structure is useful for fast, neighborhood-restricted lookups. We use it to implement fast k-Nearest Neighbor and Rectangular range lookups in 2 dimenions. The primary target is high performance interactive graphics.

Implement a promising, and yet little explored protocol for bioacoustical analysis, the eigensound method by MacLeod, Krieger and Jones (2013) <doi:10.4404/hystrix-24.1-6299>. Eigensound is a multidisciplinary method focused on the direct comparison between stereotyped sounds from different species. SoundShape', in turn, provide the tools required for anyone to go from sound waves to Principal Components Analysis, using tools extracted from traditional bioacoustics (i.e. tuneR and seewave packages), geometric morphometrics (i.e. geomorph package) and multivariate analysis (e.g. stats package). For more information, please see Rocha and Romano (2021) and check SoundShape repository on GitHub for news and updates <https://github.com/p-rocha/SoundShape>.

This is a graph database in SQLite'. It is inspired by Denis Papathanasiou's Python simple-graph project on GitHub'.

This package provides useful UI components and input widgets for Shiny applications. The offered components allow to apply non-standard operations and view to your Shiny application, but also help to overcome common performance issues.

This package provides a single, phenome-wide permutation of large-scale biobank data. When a large number of phenotypes are analyzed in parallel, a single permutation across all phenotypes followed by genetic association analyses of the permuted data enables estimation of false discovery rates (FDRs) across the phenome. These FDR estimates provide a significance criterion for interpreting genetic associations in a biobank context. For the basic permutation of unrelated samples, this package takes a sample-by-variable file with ID, genotypic covariates, phenotypic covariates, and phenotypes as input. For data with related samples, it also takes a file with sample pair-wise identity-by-descent information. The function outputs a permuted sample-by-variable file ready for genome-wide association analysis. See Annis et al. (2021) <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-873449/v1> for details.

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

Capable of deriving seasonal statistics, such as "normals", and analysis of seasonal data, such as departures. This package also has graphics capabilities for representing seasonal data, including boxplots for seasonal parameters, and bars for summed normals. There are many specific functions related to climatology, including precipitation normals, temperature normals, cumulative precipitation departures and precipitation interarrivals. However, this package is designed to represent any time-varying parameter with a discernible seasonal signal, such as found in hydrology and ecology.

Some R functions, such as optim(), require a function its gradient passed as separate arguments. When these are expensive to calculate it may be much faster to calculate the function (fn) and gradient (gr) together since they often share many calculations (chain rule). This package allows the user to pass in a single function that returns both the function and gradient, then splits (hence splitfngr') them so the results can be accessed separately. The functions provided allow this to be done with any number of functions/values, not just for functions and gradients.

R-side code to implement an R editor and IDE in Komodo IDE with the SciViews-K extension.

An implementation of sensitivity analysis for phylogenetic comparative methods. The package is an umbrella of statistical and graphical methods that estimate and report different types of uncertainty in PCM: (i) Species Sampling uncertainty (sample size; influential species and clades). (ii) Phylogenetic uncertainty (different topologies and/or branch lengths). (iii) Data uncertainty (intraspecific variation and measurement error).

The Simulation-based Sampling Protocol (SSP) is an R package designed to estimate sampling effort in studies of ecological communities. It is based on the concept of pseudo-multivariate standard error (MultSE) (Anderson & Santana-Garcon, 2015, <doi:10.1111/ele.12385>) and the simulation of ecological data. The theoretical background is described in Guerra-Castro et al. (2020, <doi:10.1111/ecog.05284>).

Utilities to support spatial data manipulation, query, sampling and modelling in ecological applications. Functions include models for species population density, spatial smoothing, multivariate separability, point process model for creating pseudo- absences and sub-sampling, Quadrant-based sampling and analysis, auto-logistic modeling, sampling models, cluster optimization, statistical exploratory tools and raster-based metrics.

It provides easy internationalization of Shiny applications. It can be used as standalone translation package to translate reports, interactive visualizations or graphical elements as well.

This package provides a set of functions to support experimentation in the utility of partially synthetic data sets. All functions compare an observed data set to one or a set of partially synthetic data sets derived from the observed data to (1) check that data sets have identical attributes, (2) calculate overall and specific variable perturbation rates, (3) check for potential logical inconsistencies, and (4) calculate confidence intervals and standard errors of desired variables in multiple imputed data sets. Confidence interval and standard error formulas have options for either synthetic data sets or multiple imputed data sets. For more information on the formulas and methods used, see Reiter & Raghunathan (2007) <doi:10.1198/016214507000000932>.

Obtaining accurate and stable estimates of regression coefficients can be challenging when the suggested statistical model has issues related to multicollinearity, convergence, or overfitting. One solution is to use principal component analysis (PCA) results in the regression, as discussed in Chan and Park (2005) <doi:10.1080/01446190500039812>. The swaprinc() package streamlines comparisons between a raw regression model with the full set of raw independent variables and a principal component regression model where principal components are estimated on a subset of the independent variables, then swapped into the regression model in place of those variables. The swaprinc() function compares one raw regression model to one principal component regression model, while the compswap() function compares one raw regression model to many principal component regression models. Package functions include parameters to center, scale, and undo centering and scaling, as described by Harvey and Hansen (2022) <https://cran.r-project.org/package=LearnPCA/vignettes/Vig_03_Step_By_Step_PCA.pdf>. Additionally, the package supports using Gifi methods to extract principal components from categorical variables, as outlined by Rossiter (2021) <https://www.css.cornell.edu/faculty/dgr2/_static/files/R_html/NonlinearPCA.html#2_Package>.

The sparse online principal component can not only process the online data set, but also obtain a sparse solution of the online data set. The philosophy of the package is described in Guo G. (2022) <doi:10.1007/s00180-022-01270-z>.
