Recently, regularized variable selection has emerged as a powerful tool to identify and dissect gene-environment interactions. Nevertheless, in longitudinal studies with high dimensional genetic factors, regularization methods for GÃ E interactions have not been systematically developed. In this package, we provide the implementation of sparse group variable selection, based on both the quadratic inference function (QIF) and generalized estimating equation (GEE), to accommodate the bi-level selection for longitudinal GÃ E studies with high dimensional genomic features. Alternative methods conducting only the group or individual level selection have also been included. The core modules of the package have been developed in C++.

The SALSO algorithm is an efficient randomized greedy search method to find a point estimate for a random partition based on a loss function and posterior Monte Carlo samples. The algorithm is implemented for many loss functions, including the Binder loss and a generalization of the variation of information loss, both of which allow for unequal weights on the two types of clustering mistakes. Efficient implementations are also provided for Monte Carlo estimation of the posterior expected loss of a given clustering estimate. See Dahl, Johnson, Müller (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2069779>.

Estimate average treatment effects (ATEs) in stratified randomized experiments. `sreg` supports a wide range of stratification designs, including matched pairs, n-tuple designs, and larger strata with many units â possibly of unequal size across strata. sreg is designed to accommodate scenarios with multiple treatments and cluster-level treatment assignments, and accommodates optimal linear covariate adjustment based on baseline observable characteristics. sreg computes estimators and standard errors based on Bugni, Canay, Shaikh (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1375934>; Bugni, Canay, Shaikh, Tabord-Meehan (2024+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2204.08356>; Jiang, Linton, Tang, Zhang (2023+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2201.13004>; Bai, Jiang, Romano, Shaikh, and Zhang (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2024.105740>; Bai (2022) <doi:10.1257/aer.20201856>; Bai, Romano, and Shaikh (2022) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1883437>; Liu (2024+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2301.09016>; and Cytrynbaum (2024) <doi:10.3982/QE2475>.

Calculating home ranges and movements of animals in complex stream environments is often challenging, and standard home range estimators do not apply. This package provides a series of tools for assessing movements in a stream network, such as calculating the total length of stream used, distances between points, and movement patterns over time. See Vignette for additional details. This package was originally released on GitHub under the name SNM'. SNMA was developed for analyses in McKnight et al. (2025) <doi:10.3354/esr01442> which contains additional examples and information.

These procedures can be used to monitor survival processes for a change in the failure rate.

In clinical trials, endpoints are sometimes evaluated with uncertainty. Adjudication is commonly adopted to ensure the study integrity. We propose to use multiple imputation (MI) introduced by Robin (1987) <doi:10.1002/9780470316696> to incorporate these uncertainties if reasonable event probabilities were provided. The method has been applied to Cox Proportional Hazard (PH) model, Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimation and Log-rank test in this package. Moreover, weighted estimations discussed in Cook (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0197-2456(00)00053-2> were also implemented with weights calculated from event probabilities. In conclusion, this package can handle time-to-event analysis if events presented with uncertainty by different methods.

This package provides a sensitivity analysis approach for unmeasured confounding in observational data with multiple treatments and a binary outcome. This approach derives the general bias formula and provides adjusted causal effect estimates in response to various assumptions about the degree of unmeasured confounding. Nested multiple imputation is embedded within the Bayesian framework to integrate uncertainty about the sensitivity parameters and sampling variability. Bayesian Additive Regression Model (BART) is used for outcome modeling. The causal estimands are the conditional average treatment effects (CATE) based on the risk difference. For more details, see paper: Hu L et al. (2020) A flexible sensitivity analysis approach for unmeasured confounding with multiple treatments and a binary outcome with application to SEER-Medicare lung cancer data <arXiv:2012.06093>.

This package provides functions to estimate a strategic selection estimator. A strategic selection estimator is an agent error model in which the two random components are not assumed to be orthogonal.

Soft-margin support vector machines (SVMs) are a common class of classification models. The training of SVMs usually requires that the data be available all at once in a single batch, however the Stochastic majorization-minimization (SMM) algorithm framework allows for the training of SVMs on streamed data instead Nguyen, Jones & McLachlan(2018)<doi:10.1007/s42081-018-0001-y>. This package utilizes the SMM framework to provide functions for training SVMs with hinge loss, squared-hinge loss, and logistic loss.

Multi-stage selection is practiced in numerous fields of life and social sciences and particularly in breeding. A special characteristic of multi-stage selection is that candidates are evaluated in successive stages with increasing intensity and effort, and only a fraction of the superior candidates is selected and promoted to the next stage. For the optimum design of such selection programs, the selection gain plays a crucial role. It can be calculated by integration of a truncated multivariate normal (MVN) distribution. While mathematical formulas for calculating the selection gain and the variance among selected candidates were developed long time ago, solutions for numerical calculation were not available. This package can also be used for optimizing multi-stage selection programs for a given total budget and different costs of evaluating the candidates in each stage.

This package provides functions to calculate step- and cadence-based metrics from timestamped accelerometer and wearable device data. Supports CSV and AGD files from ActiGraph devices, CSV files from Fitbit devices, and step counts derived with R package GGIR <https://github.com/wadpac/GGIR>, with automatic handling of epoch lengths from 1 to 60 seconds. Metrics include total steps, cadence peaks, minutes and steps in predefined cadence bands, and time and steps in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods and thresholds are informed by the literature, e.g., Tudor-Locke and Rowe (2012) <doi:10.2165/11599170-000000000-00000>, Barreira et al. (2012) <doi:10.1249/MSS.0b013e318254f2a3>, and Tudor-Locke et al. (2018) <doi:10.1136/bjsports-2017-097628>. The package record is also available on Zenodo (2023) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.7858094>.

The function generates and plots random snowflakes. Each snowflake is defined by a given diameter, width of the crystal, color, and random seed. Snowflakes are plotted in such way that they always remain round, no matter what the aspect ratio of the plot is. Snowflakes can be created using transparent colors, which creates a more interesting, somewhat realistic, image. Images of the snowflakes can be separately saved as svg files and used in websites as static or animated images.

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.
