This package performs exploratory factor analysis on language model embeddings of psychological scale items. Embeds item text with sentence transformers or other language models, transforms the embeddings into item-by-item similarity matrices, and extracts latent factor structure via standard exploratory factor analysis. Supports embedding-adapted parallel analysis, several similarity transforms (atomic reversed, SQuID centering, mean-centered Pearson), and fit diagnostics tailored to embedding matrices (TEFI, RMSR, CAF, McDonald's omega). The underlying methods are documented with full citations in the corresponding function help pages. Returns objects compatible with psych and EFAtools workflows.

This package creates D3 JavaScript scatterplots from R with interactive features : panning, zooming, tooltips, etc.

This package provides a critical first step in systematic literature reviews and mining of academic texts is to identify relevant texts from a range of sources, particularly databases such as Web of Science or Scopus'. These databases often export in different formats or with different metadata tags. synthesisr expands on the tools outlined by Westgate (2019) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1374> to import bibliographic data from a range of formats (such as bibtex', ris', or ciw') in a standard way, and allows merging and deduplication of the resulting dataset.

The goal of snpsettest is to provide simple tools that perform set-based association tests (e.g., gene-based association tests) using GWAS (genome-wide association study) summary statistics. A set-based association test in this package is based on the statistical model described in VEGAS (versatile gene-based association study), which combines the effects of a set of SNPs accounting for linkage disequilibrium between markers. This package uses a different approach from the original VEGAS implementation to compute set-level p values more efficiently, as described in <https://github.com/HimesGroup/snpsettest/wiki/Statistical-test-in-snpsettest>.

This package provides functions to speed up work flow for hydrological analysis. Focused on Australian climate data (SILO climate data), hydrological models (eWater Source) and in particular South Australia (<https://water.data.sa.gov.au> hydrological data).

Create sets of variables based on a mutual information approach. In this context, a set is a collection of distinct elements (e.g., variables) that can also be treated as a single entity. Mutual information, a concept from probability theory, quantifies the dependence between two variables by expressing how much information about one variable can be gained from observing the other. Furthermore, you can analyze, and visualize these sets in order to better understand the relationships among variables.

Optimized prediction based on textual sentiment, accounting for the intrinsic challenge that sentiment can be computed and pooled across texts and time in various ways. See Ardia et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v099.i02>.

Single-index mixture cure models allow estimating the probability of cure and the latency depending on a vector (or functional) covariate, avoiding the curse of dimensionality. The vector of parameters that defines the model can be estimated by maximum likelihood. A nonparametric estimator for the conditional density of the susceptible population is provided. For more details, see Piñeiro-Lamas (2024) (<https://ruc.udc.es/dspace/handle/2183/37035>). Funding: This work, integrated into the framework of PERTE for Vanguard Health, has been co-financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities with funds from the European Union NextGenerationEU, from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR-C17.I1) and from the Autonomous Community of Galicia within the framework of the Biotechnology Plan Applied to Health.

The explosion of biobank data offers immediate opportunities for gene-environment (GxE) interaction studies of complex diseases because of the large sample sizes and rich collection in genetic and non-genetic information. However, the extremely large sample size also introduces new computational challenges in GxE assessment, especially for set-based GxE variance component (VC) tests, a widely used strategy to boost overall GxE signals and to evaluate the joint GxE effect of multiple variants from a biologically meaningful unit (e.g., gene). We present SEAGLE', a Scalable Exact AlGorithm for Large-scale Set-based GxE tests, to permit GxE VC test scalable to biobank data. SEAGLE employs modern matrix computations to achieve the same â exactâ results as the original GxE VC tests, and does not impose additional assumptions nor relies on approximations. SEAGLE can easily accommodate sample sizes in the order of 10^5, is implementable on standard laptops, and does not require specialized equipment. The accompanying manuscript for this package can be found at Chi, Ipsen, Hsiao, Lin, Wang, Lee, Lu, and Tzeng. (2021+) <arXiv:2105.03228>.

Fits (excess) hazard, relative mortality ratio or marginal intensity models with multidimensional penalized splines allowing for time-dependent effects, non-linear effects and interactions between several continuous covariates. In survival and net survival analysis, in addition to modelling the effect of time (via the baseline hazard), one has often to deal with several continuous covariates and model their functional forms, their time-dependent effects, and their interactions. Model specification becomes therefore a complex problem and penalized regression splines represent an appealing solution to that problem as splines offer the required flexibility while penalization limits overfitting issues. Current implementations of penalized survival models can be slow or unstable and sometimes lack some key features like taking into account expected mortality to provide net survival and excess hazard estimates. In contrast, survPen provides an automated, fast, and stable implementation (thanks to explicit calculation of the derivatives of the likelihood) and offers a unified framework for multidimensional penalized hazard and excess hazard models. Later versions (>2.0.0) include penalized models for relative mortality ratio, and marginal intensity in recurrent event setting. survPen may be of interest to those who 1) analyse any kind of time-to-event data: mortality, disease relapse, machinery breakdown, unemployment, etc 2) wish to describe the associated hazard and to understand which predictors impact its dynamics, 3) wish to model the relative mortality ratio between a cohort and a reference population, 4) wish to describe the marginal intensity for recurrent event data. See Fauvernier et al. (2019a) <doi:10.21105/joss.01434> for an overview of the package and Fauvernier et al. (2019b) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12368> for the method.

Spatio-temporal change of support (STCOS) methods are designed for statistical inference on geographic and time domains which differ from those on which the data were observed. In particular, a parsimonious class of STCOS models supporting Gaussian outcomes was introduced by Bradley, Wikle, and Holan <doi:10.1002/sta4.94>. The stcos package contains tools which facilitate use of STCOS models.

An outcome-guided algorithm is developed to identify clusters of samples with similar characteristics and survival rate. The algorithm first builds a random forest and then defines distances between samples based on the fitted random forest. Given the distances, we can apply hierarchical clustering algorithms to define clusters. Details about this method is described in <https://github.com/luyouepiusf/SurvivalClusteringTree>.
