This package implements various methods for eliciting a probability distribution for a single parameter from an expert or a group of experts. The expert provides a small number of probability judgements, corresponding to points on his or her cumulative distribution function. A range of parametric distributions can then be fitted and displayed, with feedback provided in the form of fitted probabilities and percentiles. For multiple experts, a weighted linear pool can be calculated. Also includes functions for eliciting beliefs about population distributions; eliciting multivariate distributions using a Gaussian copula; eliciting a Dirichlet distribution; eliciting distributions for variance parameters in a random effects meta-analysis model; survival extrapolation. R Shiny apps for most of the methods are included.

Estimate the internal consistency of your tasks with a permutation based split-half reliability approach. Unofficial release name: "I eat stickers all the time, dude!".

Fits time trend models for routine disease surveillance tasks and returns probability distributions for a variety of quantities of interest, including age-standardized rates, period and cumulative percent change, and measures of health inequality. The models are appropriate for count data such as disease incidence and mortality data, employing a Poisson or binomial likelihood and the first-difference (random-walk) prior for unknown risk. Optionally add a covariance matrix for multiple, correlated time series models. Inference is completed using Markov chain Monte Carlo via the Stan modeling language.

This package provides functions to take samples of data, sample size estimation and getting useful estimators such as total, mean, proportion about its population using simple random, stratified, systematic and cluster sampling.

Flexibly simulates a dataset with time-varying covariates with user-specified exchangeable correlation structures across and within clusters. Covariates can be normal or binary and can be static within a cluster or time-varying. Time-varying normal variables can optionally have linear trajectories within each cluster. See ?make_one_dataset for the main wrapper function. See Montez-Rath et al. <arXiv:1709.10074> for methodological details.

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>.

This package provides a coalescent simulator that allows the rapid simulation of biological sequences under neutral models of evolution, see Staab et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu861>. Different to other coalescent based simulations, it has an optional approximation parameter that allows for high accuracy while maintaining a linear run time cost for long sequences. It is optimized for simulating massive data sets as produced by Next- Generation Sequencing technologies for up to several thousand sequences.

Copula based Cox proportional hazards models for survival data subject to dependent censoring. This approach does not assume that the parameter defining the copula is known. The dependency parameter is estimated with other finite model parameters by maximizing a Pseudo likelihood function. The cumulative hazard function is estimated via estimating equations derived based on martingale ideas. Available copula functions include Frank, Gumbel and Normal copulas. Only Weibull and lognormal models are allowed for the censoring model, even though any parametric model that satisfies certain identifiability conditions could be used. Implemented methods are described in the article "Copula based Cox proportional hazards models for dependent censoring" by Deresa and Van Keilegom (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2022.2161387>.

Label, recode, rename, and convert datasets and ASCII files more efficiently. speedycode automates the code necessary for labeling variables with the labelled package, recoding and renaming variables with dplyr syntax, and converting ASCII files with the readroper package. Most functions require only the name of the dataset and the code will be automatically written. Some convenience functions useful for converting ASCII files are also included.

Soil health assessment builds information to improve decision in soil management. It facilitates assessment of soil conditions for crop suitability [such as those given by FAO <https://www.fao.org/land-water/databases-and-software/crop-information/en/>], groundwater recharge, fertility, erosion, salinization [<doi:10.1002/ldr.4211>], carbon sequestration, irrigation potential, and status of soil resources.

This package provides a process-oriented and trajectory-based Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) package for R. It is designed as a generic yet powerful framework. The architecture encloses a robust and fast simulation core written in C++ with automatic monitoring capabilities.

Sensitivity analysis for multiple outcomes in observational studies. For instance, all linear combinations of several outcomes may be explored using Scheffe projections in the comparison() function; see Rosenbaum (2016, Annals of Applied Statistics) <doi:10.1214/16-AOAS942>. Alternatively, attention may focus on a few principal components in the principal() function.
