This package provides a step-down procedure for controlling the False Discovery Proportion (FDP) in a competition-based setup, implementing Dong et al. (2020) <arXiv:2011.11939>. Such setups include target-decoy competition (TDC) in computational mass spectrometry and the knockoff construction in linear regression.

It estimates the parameters of spatio-temporal models with censored or missing data using the SAEM algorithm (Delyon et al., 1999). This algorithm is a stochastic approximation of the widely used EM algorithm and is particularly valuable for models in which the E-step lacks a closed-form expression. It also provides a function to compute the observed information matrix using the method developed by Louis (1982). To assess the performance of the fitted model, case-deletion diagnostics are provided.

From output files obtained from the software ModestR', the relative contribution of factors to explain species distribution is depicted using several plots. A global geographic raster file for each environmental variable may be also obtained with the mean relative contribution, considering all species present in each raster cell, of the factor to explain species distribution. Finally, for each variable it is also possible to compare the frequencies of any variable obtained in the cells where the species is present with the frequencies of the same variable in the cells of the extent.

Makes it possible to serve map tiles for web maps (e.g. leaflet) based on a function or a stars object without having to render them in advance. This enables parallelization of the rendering, separating the data source and visualization location and to provide web services.

Generate Stochastic Branching Networks ('SBNs'). Used to model the branching structure of rivers.

An implementation of feature selection, weighting and ranking via simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA). The SPSA-FSR algorithm searches for a locally optimal set of features that yield the best predictive performance using some error measures such as mean squared error (for regression problems) and accuracy rate (for classification problems).

Introduction to some novel accurate hybrid methods of geostatistical and machine learning methods for spatial predictive modelling. It contains two commonly used geostatistical methods, two machine learning methods, four hybrid methods and two averaging methods. For each method, two functions are provided. One function is for assessing the predictive errors and accuracy of the method based on cross-validation. The other one is for generating spatial predictions using the method.

This package provides statistical tools for testing first-order separability in spatio-temporal point processes, that is, assessing whether the spatio-temporal intensity function can be expressed as the product of spatial and temporal components. The package implements several hypothesis tests, including exact and asymptotic methods for Poisson and non-Poisson processes. Methods include global envelope tests, chi-squared type statistics, and a novel Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion (HSIC) test, all with both block and pure permutation procedures. Simulation studies and real world examples, including the 2001 UK foot and mouth disease outbreak data, illustrate the utility of the proposed methods.

Stagewise techniques implemented with Generalized Estimating Equations to handle individual, group, bi-level, and interaction selection. Stagewise approaches start with an empty model and slowly build the model over several iterations, which yields a path of candidate models from which model selection can be performed. This slow brewing approach gives stagewise techniques a unique flexibility that allows simple incorporation of Generalized Estimating Equations; see Vaughan, G., Aseltine, R., Chen, K., Yan, J., (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12669> for details.
