The goal of dndR is to provide a suite of Dungeons & Dragons related functions. This package is meant to be useful both to players and Dungeon Masters (DMs). Some functions apply to many tabletop role-playing games (e.g., dice rolling), but others are focused on Fifth Edition (a.k.a. "5e") and where possible both the 2014 and 2024 versions are supported.

This package provides a robust identification of differential binding sites method for analyzing ChIP-seq (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing) comparing two samples that considers an ensemble of finite mixture models combined with a local false discovery rate (fdr) allowing for flexible modeling of data.

The package also provides point and interval estimation for the crossing survival times.

Autoencoding Random Forests ('RFAE') provide a method to autoencode mixed-type tabular data using Random Forests ('RF'), which involves projecting the data to a latent feature space of user-chosen dimensionality (usually a lower dimension), and then decoding the latent representations back into the input space. The encoding stage is useful for feature engineering and data visualisation tasks, akin to how principal component analysis ('PCA') is used, and the decoding stage is useful for compression and denoising tasks. At its core, RFAE is a post-processing pipeline on a trained random forest model. This means that it can accept any trained RF of ranger object type: RF', URF or ARF'. Because of this, it inherits Random Forests robust performance and capacity to seamlessly handle mixed-type tabular data. For more details, see Vu et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.21441>.

Least Angle Regression ("LAR") is a model selection algorithm; a useful and less greedy version of traditional forward selection methods. A simple modification of the LAR algorithm implements Tibshirani's Lasso; the Lasso modification of LARS calculates the entire Lasso path of coefficients for a given problem at the cost of a single least squares fit. Another LARS modification efficiently implements epsilon Forward Stagewise linear regression.

Conditioned Latin hypercube sampling, as published by Minasny and McBratney (2006) <DOI:10.1016/j.cageo.2005.12.009>. This method proposes to stratify sampling in presence of ancillary data. An extension of this method, which propose to associate a cost to each individual and take it into account during the optimisation process, is also proposed (Roudier et al., 2012, <DOI:10.1201/b12728>).
