It helps in determination of sample size for estimation of population mean and proportion based upon the availability of prior information on coefficient of variation (CV) of the population under Simple Random Sampling (SRS) with or without replacement sampling design. If there is no prior information on the population CV, then a small preliminary sample of size is selected to estimate the population CV which is then used for determination of final sample size. If the final sample size is more than the preliminary sample size, then the preliminary sample is augmented by drawing additional units from the remaining population units so that the size of the augmented sample is equal to the final sample size. On the other hand, if the preliminary sample size is larger than the final sample size, then the preliminary sample is considered as the final sample.

Testing for Spatial Dependence of Qualitative Data in Cross Section. The list of functions includes join-count tests, Q test, spatial scan test, similarity test and spatial runs test. The methodology of these models can be found in <doi:10.1007/s10109-009-0100-1> and <doi:10.1080/13658816.2011.586327>.

This package contains functions for statistical data analysis based on spatially-clustered techniques. The package allows estimating the spatially-clustered spatial regression models presented in Cerqueti, Maranzano \& Mattera (2024), "Spatially-clustered spatial autoregressive models with application to agricultural market concentration in Europe", arXiv preprint 2407.15874 <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2407.15874>. Specifically, the current release allows the estimation of the spatially-clustered linear regression model (SCLM), the spatially-clustered spatial autoregressive model (SCSAR), the spatially-clustered spatial Durbin model (SCSEM), and the spatially-clustered linear regression model with spatially-lagged exogenous covariates (SCSLX). From release 0.0.2, the library contains functions to estimate spatial clustering based on Adiajacent Matrix K-Means (AMKM) as described in Zhou, Liu \& Zhu (2019), "Weighted adjacent matrix for K-means clustering", Multimedia Tools and Applications, 78 (23) <doi:10.1007/s11042-019-08009-x>.

When working across multiple machines and, similarly for reproducible research, it can be time consuming to ensure that you have all of the needed packages installed and loaded and that the correct working directory is set. simpleSetup provides simple functions for making these tasks more straightforward.

This package provides a dynamic programming solution to segmentation based on maximization of arbitrary similarity measures within segments. The general idea, theory and this implementation are described in Machne, Murray & Stadler (2017) <doi:10.1038/s41598-017-12401-8>. In addition to the core algorithm, the package provides time-series processing and clustering functions as described in the publication. These are generally applicable where a `k-means` clustering yields meaningful results, and have been specifically developed for clustering of the Discrete Fourier Transform of periodic gene expression data (`circadian or `yeast metabolic oscillations'). This clustering approach is outlined in the supplemental material of Machne & Murray (2012) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0037906>), and here is used as a basis of segment similarity measures. Notably, the time-series processing and clustering functions can also be used as stand-alone tools, independent of segmentation, e.g., for transcriptome data already mapped to genes.

This package implements algorithms for terrestrial, mobile, and airborne lidar processing, tree detection, segmentation, and attribute estimation (Donager et al., 2021) <doi:10.3390/rs13122297>, and a hierarchical patch delineation algorithm PatchMorph (Girvetz & Greco, 2007) <doi:10.1007/s10980-007-9104-8>. Tree detection uses rasterized point cloud metrics (relative neighborhood density and verticality) combined with RANSAC cylinder fitting to locate tree boles and estimate diameter at breast height. Tree segmentation applies graph-theory approaches inspired by Tao et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2015.08.007> with cylinder fitting methods from de Conto et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.compag.2017.07.019>. PatchMorph delineates habitat patches across spatial scales using organism-specific thresholds. Built on lidR (Roussel et al., 2020) <doi:10.1016/j.rse.2020.112061>.

Moreover, it offers the method of locally defined principal geodesics which is underway. The detailed procedures are described in Lee, J., Kim, J.-H. and Oh, H.-S. (2021) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2020.3025327>. Also see Kim, J.-H., Lee, J. and Oh, H.-S. (2020) <arXiv:2003.02578>.

This package provides a stable approach to variable selection through stability selection and the use of a permutation-based objective stability threshold. Lima et al (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-79317-8>, Meinshausen and Buhlmann (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2010.00740.x>.

This package provides functions related to multivariate measures of independence and ICA: -estimate independent components by minimizing distance covariance; -conduct a test of mutual independence based on distance covariance; -estimate independent components via infomax (a popular method but generally performs poorer than mdcovica, ProDenICA, and/or fastICA, but is useful for comparisons); -order indepedent components by skewness; -match independent components from multiple estimates; -other functions useful in ICA.

Implementation of the boosting procedure with the simulation and extrapolation approach to address variable selection and estimation for high-dimensional data subject to measurement error in predictors. It can be used to address generalized linear models (GLM) in Chen (2023) <doi: 10.1007/s11222-023-10209-3> and the accelerated failure time (AFT) model in Chen and Qiu (2023) <doi: 10.1111/biom.13898>. Some relevant references include Chen and Yi (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13331> and Hastie, Tibshirani, and Friedman (2008, ISBN:978-0387848570).

Practitioners of Bayesian statistics often use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers to sample from a posterior distribution. This package determines whether the MCMC sample is large enough to yield reliable estimates of the target distribution. In particular, this calculates a Gelman-Rubin convergence diagnostic using stable and consistent estimators of Monte Carlo variance. Additionally, this uses the connection between an MCMC sample's effective sample size and the Gelman-Rubin diagnostic to produce a threshold for terminating MCMC simulation. Finally, this informs the user whether enough samples have been collected and (if necessary) estimates the number of samples needed for a desired level of accuracy. The theory underlying these methods can be found in "Revisiting the Gelman-Rubin Diagnostic" by Vats and Knudson (2018) <arXiv:1812:09384>.

This package provides models to identify bimodally expressed genes from RNAseq data based on the Bimodality Index. SIBERG models the RNAseq data in the finite mixture modeling framework and incorporates mechanisms for dealing with RNAseq normalization. Three types of mixture models are implemented, namely, the mixture of log normal, negative binomial, or generalized Poisson distribution. See Tong et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts713>.

Fit Cox non-proportional hazards models with time-varying coefficients. Both unpenalized procedures (Newton and proximal Newton) and penalized procedures (P-splines and smoothing splines) are included using B-spline basis functions for estimating time-varying coefficients. For penalized procedures, cross validations, mAIC, TIC or GIC are implemented to select tuning parameters. Utilities for carrying out post-estimation visualization, summarization, point-wise confidence interval and hypothesis testing are also provided. For more information, see Wu et al. (2022) <doi: 10.1007/s10985-021-09544-2> and Luo et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802231181471>.

Fits a structural equation multidimensional scaling (SEMDS) model for asymmetric and three-way input dissimilarities. It assumes that the dissimilarities are measured with errors. The latent dissimilarities are estimated as factor scores within an SEM framework while the objects are represented in a low-dimensional space as in MDS.

This package provides elastic net penalized maximum likelihood estimator for structural equation models (SEM). The package implements `lasso` and `elastic net` (l1/l2) penalized SEM and estimates the model parameters with an efficient block coordinate ascent algorithm that maximizes the penalized likelihood of the SEM. Hyperparameters are inferred from cross-validation (CV). A Stability Selection (STS) function is also available to provide accurate causal effect selection. The software achieves high accuracy performance through a `Network Generative Pre-trained Transformer` (Network GPT) Framework with two steps: 1) pre-trains the model to generate a complete (fully connected) graph; and 2) uses the complete graph as the initial state to fit the `elastic net` penalized SEM.

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.
