Efficient coordinate ascent algorithm for fitting regularization paths for linear models penalized by Spike-and-Slab LASSO of Rockova and George (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1260469>.

This package provides estimation of simultaneous bootstrap and asymptotic confidence intervals for diversity indices, namely the Shannon and the Simpson index. Several pre--specified multiple comparison types are available to choose. Further user--defined contrast matrices are applicable. In addition, simboot estimates adjusted as well as unadjusted p--values for two of the three proposed bootstrap methods. Further simboot allows for comparing biological diversities of two or more groups while simultaneously testing a user-defined selection of Hill numbers of orders q, which are considered as appropriate and useful indices for measuring diversity.

This package provides functionality to extract reactive expressions from a shiny application and convert them into stand-alone R scripts. This enables users to reproduce tables and visualisations outside the interactive UI, facilitating integration into static reports or automated workflows without requiring access to the original application source code.

This package provides the core framework for a discrete event system to implement a complete data-to-decisions, reproducible workflow. The core components facilitate the development of modular pieces, and enable the user to include additional functionality by running user-built modules. Includes conditional scheduling, restart after interruption, packaging of reusable modules, tools for developing arbitrary automated workflows, automated interweaving of modules of different temporal resolution, and tools for visualizing and understanding the within-project dependencies.

Image Segmentation using Superpixels, Affinity Propagation and Kmeans Clustering. The R code is based primarily on the article "Image Segmentation using SLIC Superpixels and Affinity Propagation Clustering, Bao Zhou, International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2013" <https://www.ijsr.net/archive/v4i4/SUB152869.pdf>.

This program calculates bioclimatic indices and fluxes (radiation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture) for use in studies of ecosystem function, species distribution, and vegetation dynamics under changing climate scenarios. Predictions are based on a minimum of required inputs: latitude, precipitation, air temperature, and cloudiness. Davis et al. (2017) <doi:10.5194/gmd-10-689-2017>.

Analysis tools to investigate changes in intercellular communication from scRNA-seq data. Using a Seurat object as input, the package infers which cell-cell interactions are present in the dataset and how these interactions change between two conditions of interest (e.g. young vs old). It relies on an internal database of ligand-receptor interactions (available for human, mouse and rat) that have been gathered from several published studies. Detection and differential analyses rely on permutation tests. The package also contains several tools to perform over-representation analysis and visualize the results. See Lagger, C. et al. (2023) <doi:10.1038/s43587-023-00514-x> for a full description of the methodology.

This package contains functions that help to determine event boundaries in event segmentation experiments by bootstrapping a critical segmentation magnitude under the null hypothesis that all key presses were randomly distributed across the experiment. Segmentation magnitude is defined as the sum of Gaussians centered at the times of the segmentation key presses performed by the participants. Within a participant, the maximum of the overlaid Gaussians is used to prevent an excessive influence of a single participant on the overall outcome (e.g. if a participant is pressing the key multiple times in succession). Further functions are included, such as plotting the results.

This package provides kernel weighting methods for estimation of proportional hazards models with intermittently observed longitudinal covariates. Cao H., Churpek M. M., Zeng D., and Fine J. P. (2015) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2014.957289>.

The most important function of the R package is the genetic effects analysis of small RNA in hybrid plants via two methods, and at the same time, it provides various forms of graph related to data characteristics and expression analysis. In terms of two classification methods, one is the calculation of the additive (a) and dominant (d), the other is the evaluation of expression level dominance by comparing the total expression of the small RNA in progeny with the expression level in the parent species.

This package provides a set of tools for writing and sharing interactive courses to be used with swirl.

This is a shape preserving spline <doi:10.1137/0720057> which is guaranteed to be monotonic and concave or convex if the data is monotonic and concave or convex. It does not use any optimisation and is therefore quick and smoothly converges to a fixed point in economic dynamics problems including value function iteration. It also automatically gives the first two derivatives of the spline and options for determining behaviour when evaluated outside the interpolation domain.

This package provides a set of plotting methods for simmer trajectories and simulations.

Basic functions for dealing with wav files and sound samples.

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>.

Publication bias, the fact that studies identified for inclusion in a meta analysis do not represent all studies on the topic of interest, is commonly recognized as a threat to the validity of the results of a meta analysis. One way to explicitly model publication bias is via selection models or weighted probability distributions. In this package we provide implementations of several parametric and nonparametric weight functions. The novelty in Rufibach (2011) is the proposal of a non-increasing variant of the nonparametric weight function of Dear & Begg (1992). The new approach potentially offers more insight in the selection process than other methods, but is more flexible than parametric approaches. To maximize the log-likelihood function proposed by Dear & Begg (1992) under a monotonicity constraint we use a differential evolution algorithm proposed by Ardia et al (2010a, b) and implemented in Mullen et al (2009). In addition, we offer a method to compute a confidence interval for the overall effect size theta, adjusted for selection bias as well as a function that computes the simulation-based p-value to assess the null hypothesis of no selection as described in Rufibach (2011, Section 6).

This package provides an implementation of Secretary Bird Optimization for general-purpose continuous optimization, benchmark optimization, and training single-hidden-layer feed-forward neural network models. The implemented optimizer is based on the Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm proposed by Fu et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s10462-024-10729-y>. The neural network training functionality is based on Dilber and à zdemir (2026) <doi:10.1007/s00521-026-11874-x>.

This package provides a unified framework for the simultaneous testing of differential expression, variability, and skewness of genes using RNA-Seq data. The framework adopts a compositional data analysis approach for modelling RNA-Seq count data, applies the centered log-ratio transformation to obtain continuous variables, and uses the skew-normal distribution for statistical inference. Methods are described in Li and Khang (bioRxiv preprint, 2024, version 3) <doi:10.1101/2024.04.09.588804>.
