Implementation of the BLEU-Score in C++ to evaluate the quality of generated text. The BLEU-Score, introduced by Papineni et al. (2002) <doi:10.3115/1073083.1073135>, is a metric for evaluating the quality of generated text. It is based on the n-gram overlap between the generated text and reference texts. Additionally, the package provides some smoothing methods as described in Chen and Cherry (2014) <doi:10.3115/v1/W14-3346>.

"The Soil Texture Wizard" is a set of R functions designed to produce texture triangles (also called texture plots, texture diagrams, texture ternary plots), classify and transform soil textures data. These functions virtually allows to plot any soil texture triangle (classification) into any triangle geometry (isosceles, right-angled triangles, etc.). This set of function is expected to be useful to people using soil textures data from different soil texture classification or different particle size systems. Many (> 15) texture triangles from all around the world are predefined in the package. A simple text based graphical user interface is provided: soiltexture_gui().

Functions for both the fully Bayesian and the mixed Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided. For reference see Joseph L. and Bélisle P. (1997) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2988525>.

The developed package can be used to generate a spatial population for different levels of relationships among the dependent and auxiliary variables along with spatially varying model parameters. A spatial layout is designed as a [0,k-1]x[0,k-1] square region on which observations are collected at (k x k) lattice points with a unit distance between any two neighbouring points along the horizontal and vertical axes. For method details see Chao, Liu., Chuanhua, Wei. and Yunan, Su. (2018).<doi:10.1080/10485252.2018.1499907>. The generated spatial population can be utilized in Geographically Weighted Regression model based analysis for studying the spatially varying relationships among the variables. Furthermore, various statistical analysis can be performed on this spatially generated data.

This package provides functionality for analytically calculating parameters (via the InteractionPoweR package) useful for simulation of moderated multiple regression, based on the correlations among the predictors and outcome and the reliability of predictors.

An exploratory and heuristic approach for specification search in Structural Equation Modeling. The basic idea is to subsample the original data and then search for optimal models on each subset. Optimality is defined through two objectives: model fit and parsimony. As these objectives are conflicting, we apply a multi-objective optimization methods, specifically NSGA-II, to obtain optimal models for the whole range of model complexities. From these optimal models, we consider only the relevant model specifications (structures), i.e., those that are both stable (occur frequently) and parsimonious and use those to infer a causal model.

Making specification curve analysis easy, fast, and pretty. It improves upon existing offerings with additional features and tidyverse integration. Users can easily visualize and evaluate how their models behave under different specifications with a high degree of customization. For a description and applications of specification curve analysis see Simonsohn, Simmons, and Nelson (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41562-020-0912-z>.

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>.

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>.

Seed vigor is defined as the sum total of those properties of the seed which determine the level of activity and performance of the seed or seed lot during germination and seedling emergence. Testing for vigor becomes more important for carryover seeds, especially if seeds were stored under unknown conditions or under unfavorable storage conditions. Seed vigor testing is also used as indicator of the storage potential of a seed lot and in ranking various seed lots with different qualities. The vigour index is calculated using the equation given by (Ling et al. 2014) <doi:10.1038/srep05859>.

Setaria viridis (green foxtail) is a common weed. This package contains measurements from individual branches of a wild Setaria viridis plant collected near the author's home. The data is intended for use in data analysis practice.

Generates region-specific Suess and Laws corrections for stable carbon isotope data from marine organisms collected between 1850 and 2023. Version 0.1.6 of SuessR contains four built-in regions: the Bering Sea ('Bering Sea'), the Aleutian archipelago ('Aleutian Islands'), the Gulf of Alaska ('Gulf of Alaska'), and the subpolar North Atlantic ('Subpolar North Atlantic'). Users can supply their own environmental data for regions currently not built into the package to generate corrections for those regions.

This package provides functions to generate K-fold cross validation (CV) folds and CV test error estimates that take into account how a survey dataset's sampling design was constructed (SRS, clustering, stratification, and/or unequal sampling weights). You can input linear and logistic regression models, along with data and a type of survey design in order to get an output that can help you determine which model best fits the data using K-fold cross validation. Our paper on "K-Fold Cross-Validation for Complex Sample Surveys" by Wieczorek, Guerin, and McMahon (2022) <doi:10.1002/sta4.454> explains why differing how we take folds based on survey design is useful.

This package provides flexible hazard ratio curves allowing non-linear relationships between continuous predictors and survival. To better understand the effects that each continuous covariate has on the outcome, results are expressed in terms of hazard ratio curves, taking a specific covariate value as reference. Confidence bands for these curves are also derived.

Estimates correlation coefficients with associated confidence limits for bivariate, partially censored survival times. Uses the iterative multiple imputation approach proposed by Schemper, Kaider, Wakounig and Heinze (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.5874>. Provides a scatterplot function to visualize the bivariate distribution, either on the original time scale or as copula.

Uncertainty propagation analysis in spatial environmental modelling following methodology described in Heuvelink et al. (2007) <doi:10.1080/13658810601063951> and Brown and Heuvelink (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2006.06.015>. The package provides functions for examining the uncertainty propagation starting from input data and model parameters, via the environmental model onto model outputs. The functions include uncertainty model specification, stochastic simulation and propagation of uncertainty using Monte Carlo (MC) techniques. Uncertain variables are described by probability distributions. Both numerical and categorical data types are handled. Spatial auto-correlation within an attribute and cross-correlation between attributes is accommodated for. The MC realizations may be used as input to the environmental models called from R, or externally.

This package provides a few major genes and a series of polygene are responsive for each quantitative trait. Major genes are individually identified while polygene is collectively detected. This is mixed major genes plus polygene inheritance analysis or segregation analysis (SEA). In the SEA, phenotypes from a single or multiple bi-parental segregation populations along with their parents are used to fit all the possible models and the best model of the trait for population phenotypic distributions is viewed as the model of the trait. There are fourteen types of population combinations available. Zhang Yuan-Ming, Gai Jun-Yi, Yang Yong-Hua (2003, <doi:10.1017/S0016672303006141>).
