Perform association test within linear mixed model framework using score test integrated with Empirical Bayes for genome-wide association study. Firstly, score test was conducted for each marker under linear mixed model framework, taking into account the genetic relatedness and population structure. And then all the potentially associated markers were selected with a less stringent criterion. Finally, all the selected markers were placed into a multi-locus model to identify the true quantitative trait nucleotide.

Helpers for addressing the issue of disconnected spatial units. It allows for convenient adding and removal of neighbourhood connectivity between areal units prior to modelling, with the visual aid of maps. Post-modelling, it reduces the human workload for extracting, tidying and mapping predictions from areal models.

This package provides several functions for area level of small area estimation using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) methods with several univariate distributions for variables of interest. The dataset that is used in every function is generated accordingly in the Example. The rjags package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involve the HB estimators which include the mean and the variation of mean. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015) <doi:10.1002/9781118735855>.

This package provides a combined slider and numeric input for usage in a Shiny app. The slider and the numeric input are linked together: each one is updated when the other one changes. Many styling properties are customizable (e.g. colors and size).

Recent gcc and clang compiler versions provide functionality to test for memory violations and other undefined behaviour; this is often referred to as "Address Sanitizer" (or ASAN') and "Undefined Behaviour Sanitizer" ('UBSAN'). The Writing R Extension manual describes this in some detail in Section 4.3 title "Checking Memory Access". . This feature has to be enabled in the corresponding binary, eg in R, which is somewhat involved as it also required a current compiler toolchain which is not yet widely available, or in the case of Windows, not available at all (via the common Rtools mechanism). . As an alternative, pre-built Docker containers such as the Rocker container r-devel-san or the multi-purpose container r-debug can be used. . This package then provides a means of testing the compiler setup as the known code failures provides in the sample code here should be detected correctly, whereas a default build of R will let the package pass. . The code samples are based on the examples from the Address Sanitizer Wiki at <https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki>.

Efficient estimation of multivariate skew-normal distribution in closed form.

Perform joint segmentation on two signal dimensions derived from total read depth (intensity) and allele specific read depth (intensity) for whole genome sequencing (WGS), whole exome sequencing (WES) and SNP array data.

Computes the optimal sample size for various 2-group designs (e.g., when comparing the means of two groups assuming equal variances, unequal variances, or comparing proportions) when the aim is to maximize the rewards over the full decision procedure of a) running a trial (with the computed sample size), and b) subsequently administering the winning treatment to the remaining N-n units in the population. Sample sizes and expected rewards for standard t- and z- tests are also provided.

This package provides the hyphenation algorithm used for TeX'/'LaTeX and similar software, as proposed by Liang (1983, <https://tug.org/docs/liang/>). Mainly contains the function hyphen() to be used for hyphenation/syllable counting of text objects. It was originally developed for and part of the koRpus package, but later released as a separate package so it's lighter to have this particular functionality available for other packages. Support for various languages needs be added on-the-fly or by plugin packages (<https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/>); this package does not include any language specific data. Due to some restrictions on CRAN, the full package sources are only available from the project homepage. To ask for help, report bugs, request features, or discuss the development of the package, please subscribe to the koRpus-dev mailing list (<http://korpusml.reaktanz.de>).

This package provides functions and Datasets from Lohr, S. (1999), Sampling: Design and Analysis, Duxbury.

This package provides functions to implement group sequential procedures that allow for early stopping to declare efficacy using a surrogate marker and the possibility of futility stopping. More details are available in: Parast, L. and Bartroff, J (2024) <doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujae108>. A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://www.laylaparast.com/surrogateseq>. A Shiny App implementing the methods can be found at <https://parastlab.shinyapps.io/SurrogateSeqApp/>.

Computes the maximum likelihood estimator of the generalised additive and index regression with shape constraints. Each additive component function is assumed to obey one of the nine possible shape restrictions: linear, increasing, decreasing, convex, convex increasing, convex decreasing, concave, concave increasing, or concave decreasing. For details, see Chen and Samworth (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12137>.

Nonparametric and semiparametric estimations of the time-dependent ROC curve for an incomplete failure time data with surrogate failure time endpoints.

The predictive value of a statistical model can often be improved by applying shrinkage methods. This can be achieved, e.g., by regularized regression or empirical Bayes approaches. Various types of shrinkage factors can also be estimated after a maximum likelihood. While global shrinkage modifies all regression coefficients by the same factor, parameterwise shrinkage factors differ between regression coefficients. With variables which are either highly correlated or associated with regard to contents, such as several columns of a design matrix describing a nonlinear effect, parameterwise shrinkage factors are not interpretable and a compromise between global and parameterwise shrinkage, termed joint shrinkage', is a useful extension. A computational shortcut to resampling-based shrinkage factor estimation based on DFBETA residuals can be applied. Global, parameterwise and joint shrinkage for models fitted by lm(), glm(), coxph(), or mfp() is available.

Create a side-by-side view of raster(image)s with an interactive slider to switch between regions of the images. This can be especially useful for image comparison of the same region at different time stamps.

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

This package provides tools for analyzing spatial cell-cell interactions based on ligand-receptor pairs, including functions for local, regional, and global analysis using spatial transcriptomics data. Integrates with databases like CellChat <http://www.cellchat.org/>, CellPhoneDB <https://www.cellphonedb.org/>, Cellinker <https://www.rna-society.org/cellinker/index.html>, ICELLNET <https://github.com/soumelis-lab/ICELLNET>, and ConnectomeDB <https://humanconnectome.org/software/connectomedb/> to identify ligand-receptor pairs, visualize interactions through heatmaps, chord diagrams, and infer interactions on different spatial scales.

In order to facilitate the adjustment of the sample selection models existing in the literature, we created the ssmodels package. Our package allows the adjustment of the classic Heckman model (Heckman (1976), Heckman (1979) <doi:10.2307/1912352>), and the estimation of the parameters of this model via the maximum likelihood method and two-step method, in addition to the adjustment of the Heckman-t models introduced in the literature by Marchenko and Genton (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.656011> and the Heckman-Skew model introduced in the literature by Ogundimu and Hutton (2016) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12171>. We also implemented functions to adjust the generalized version of the Heckman model, introduced by Bastos, Barreto-Souza, and Genton (2021) <doi:10.5705/ss.202021.0068>, that allows the inclusion of covariables to the dispersion and correlation parameters, and a function to adjust the Heckman-BS model introduced by Bastos and Barreto-Souza (2020) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2020.1780570> that uses the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution as a joint distribution of the selection and primary regression variables. This package extends and complements existing R packages such as sampleSelection (Toomet and Henningsen, 2008) and ssmrob (Zhelonkin et al., 2016), providing additional robust and flexible sample selection models.

Estimate Bayesian nested mixture models via Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Specifically, the package implements the common atoms model (Denti et al., 2023), and hybrid finite-infinite models. All models use Gaussian mixtures with a normal-inverse-gamma prior distribution on the parameters. Additional functions are provided to help analyzing the results of the fitting procedure.

Fits spatial scale (SS) forward stepwise regression, SS incremental forward stagewise regression, SS least angle regression (LARS), and SS lasso models. All area-level covariates are considered at all available scales to enter a model, but the SS algorithms are constrained to select each area-level covariate at a single spatial scale.

This package provides basic functions that support an implementation of object case (Case 1) best-worst scaling: a function for converting a two-level orthogonal main-effect design/balanced incomplete block design into questions; two functions for creating a data set suitable for analysis; a function for calculating count-based scores; a function for calculating shares of preference; and a function for generating artificial responses to questions. See Louviere et al. (2015) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781107337855> for details on best-worst scaling, and Aizaki and Fogarty (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jocm.2022.100394> for the package.

The implementation of a forecasting-specific tree-based model that is in particular suitable for global time series forecasting, as proposed in Godahewa et al. (2022) <arXiv:2211.08661v1>. The model uses the concept of Self Exciting Threshold Autoregressive (SETAR) models to define the node splits and thus, the model is named SETAR-Tree. The SETAR-Tree uses some time-series-specific splitting and stopping procedures. It trains global pooled regression models in the leaves allowing the models to learn cross-series information. The depth of the tree is controlled by conducting a statistical linearity test as well as measuring the error reduction percentage at each node split. Thus, the SETAR-Tree requires minimal external hyperparameter tuning and provides competitive results under its default configuration. A forest is developed by extending the SETAR-Tree. The SETAR-Forest combines the forecasts provided by a collection of diverse SETAR-Trees during the forecasting process.
