This package contains an implementation of StabilizedRegression', a regression framework for heterogeneous data introduced in Pfister et al. (2021) <arXiv:1911.01850>. The procedure uses averaging to estimate a regression of a set of predictors X on a response variable Y by enforcing stability with respect to a given environment variable. The resulting regression leads to a variable selection procedure which allows to distinguish between stable and unstable predictors. The package further implements a visualization technique which illustrates the trade-off between stability and predictiveness of individual predictors.

This package implements the following approaches for multidimensional scaling (MDS) based on stress minimization using majorization (smacof): ratio/interval/ordinal/spline MDS on symmetric dissimilarity matrices, MDS with external constraints on the configuration, individual differences scaling (idioscal, indscal), MDS with spherical restrictions, and ratio/interval/ordinal/spline unfolding (circular restrictions, row-conditional). Various tools and extensions like jackknife MDS, bootstrap MDS, permutation tests, MDS biplots, gravity models, unidimensional scaling, drift vectors (asymmetric MDS), classical scaling, and Procrustes are implemented as well.

This package implements an extension of the Generalized Berk-Jones (GBJ) statistic for survival data, sGBJ. It computes the sGBJ statistic and its p-value for testing the association between a gene set and a time-to-event outcome with possible adjustment on additional covariates. Detailed method is available at Villain L, Ferte T, Thiebaut R and Hejblum BP (2021) <doi:10.1101/2021.09.07.459329>.

Simultaneous inference procedures for high-dimensional linear models as described by Zhang, X., and Cheng, G. (2017) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1166114>.

The goal of the SwimmeR package is to provide means of acquiring, and then analyzing, data from swimming (and diving) competitions. To that end SwimmeR allows results to be read in from .html sources, like Hy-Tek real time results pages, .pdf files, ISL results, Omega results, and (on a development basis) .hy3 files. Once read in, SwimmeR can convert swimming times (performances) between the computationally useful format of seconds reported to the 100ths place (e.g. 95.37), and the conventional reporting format (1:35.37) used in the swimming community. SwimmeR can also score meets in a variety of formats with user defined point values, convert times between courses ('LCM', SCM', SCY') and draw single elimination brackets, as well as providing a suite of tools for working cleaning swimming data. This is a developmental package, not yet mature.

Computation of sparse portfolios for financial index tracking, i.e., joint selection of a subset of the assets that compose the index and computation of their relative weights (capital allocation). The level of sparsity of the portfolios, i.e., the number of selected assets, is controlled through a regularization parameter. Different tracking measures are available, namely, the empirical tracking error (ETE), downside risk (DR), Huber empirical tracking error (HETE), and Huber downside risk (HDR). See vignette for a detailed documentation and comparison, with several illustrative examples. The package is based on the paper: K. Benidis, Y. Feng, and D. P. Palomar, "Sparse Portfolios for High-Dimensional Financial Index Tracking," IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing, vol. 66, no. 1, pp. 155-170, Jan. 2018. <doi:10.1109/TSP.2017.2762286>.

Structurally guided sampling (SGS) approaches for airborne laser scanning (ALS; LIDAR). Primary functions provide means to generate data-driven stratifications & methods for allocating samples. Intermediate functions for calculating and extracting important information about input covariates and samples are also included. Processing outcomes are intended to help forest and environmental management practitioners better optimize field sample placement as well as assess and augment existing sample networks in the context of data distributions and conditions. ALS data is the primary intended use case, however any rasterized remote sensing data can be used, enabling data-driven stratifications and sampling approaches.

This package provides a statistical learning method to simultaneously predict a range of target phenotypes using codified and natural language processing (NLP)-derived Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. See Ahuja et al (2020) JAMIA <doi:10.1093/jamia/ocaa079> for details.

This package provides a wrapper to access data from the SeeClickFix web API for R. SeeClickFix is a central platform employed by many cities that allows citizens to request their city's services. This package creates several functions to work with all the built-in calls to the SeeClickFix API. Allows users to download service request data from numerous locations in easy-to-use dataframe format manipulable in standard R functions.

It allows running Praat scripts from R and it provides some wrappers for basic plotting. It also adds support for literate markdown tangling. The package is designed to bring reproducible phonetic research into R.

Adds Progressive Web App support for Shiny apps, including desktop and mobile installations.

This package performs a sentiment analysis of textual contents in R. This implementation utilizes various existing dictionaries, such as Harvard IV, or finance-specific dictionaries. Furthermore, it can also create customized dictionaries. The latter uses LASSO regularization as a statistical approach to select relevant terms based on an exogenous response variable.

This package provides a collection of highly configurable, touch-enabled knob input controls for shiny'. These components can be styled to fit in perfectly in any app, and allow users to set precise values through many input modalities. Users can touch-and-drag, click-and-drag, scroll their mouse wheel, double click, or use keyboard input.

The saemix package implements the Stochastic Approximation EM algorithm for parameter estimation in (non)linear mixed effects models. It (i) computes the maximum likelihood estimator of the population parameters, without any approximation of the model (linearisation, quadrature approximation,...), using the Stochastic Approximation Expectation Maximization (SAEM) algorithm, (ii) provides standard errors for the maximum likelihood estimator (iii) estimates the conditional modes, the conditional means and the conditional standard deviations of the individual parameters, using the Hastings-Metropolis algorithm (see Comets et al. (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i03>). Many applications of SAEM in agronomy, animal breeding and PKPD analysis have been published by members of the Monolix group. The full PDF documentation for the package including references about the algorithm and examples can be downloaded on the github of the IAME research institute for saemix': <https://github.com/iame-researchCenter/saemix/blob/7638e1b09ccb01cdff173068e01c266e906f76eb/docsaem.pdf>.
