Sequences sampled at different time points can be used to infer molecular phylogenies on natural time scales, but if the sequences records inaccurate sampling times, that are not the actual sampling times, then it will affect the molecular phylogenetic analysis. This shiny application helps exploring temporal characteristics of the evolutionary trees through linear regression analysis and with the ability to identify and remove incorrect labels. The method was extended to support exploring other phylogenetic signals under strict and relaxed models.

This package provides functions to nonparametrically assess assumptions necessary to prevent the surrogate paradox through hypothesis tests of stochastic dominance, monotonicity of regression functions, and non-negative residual treatment effects.

Set of tools to fit a semi-parametric regression model suitable for analysis of data sets in which the response variable is continuous, strictly positive, asymmetric and possibly, censored. Under this setup, both the median and the skewness of the response variable distribution are explicitly modeled by using semi-parametric functions, whose non-parametric components may be approximated by natural cubic splines or P-splines. Supported distributions for the model error include log-normal, log-Student-t, log-power-exponential, log-hyperbolic, log-contaminated-normal, log-slash, Birnbaum-Saunders and Birnbaum-Saunders-t distributions.

The QuadTree data structure is useful for fast, neighborhood-restricted lookups. We use it to implement fast k-Nearest Neighbor and Rectangular range lookups in 2 dimenions. The primary target is high performance interactive graphics.

This package provides functionality to fit a zero-inflated estimator for small area estimation. This estimator is a combines a linear mixed effects regression model and a logistic mixed effects regression model via a two-stage modeling approach. The estimator's mean squared error is estimated via a parametric bootstrap method. Chandra and others (2012, <doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.598991>) introduce and describe this estimator and mean squared error estimator. White and others (2024+, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.03263>) describe the applicability of this estimator to estimation of forest attributes and further assess the estimator's properties.

Models the nonnegative entries of a rectangular adjacency matrix using a sparse latent position model, as illustrated in Rastelli, R. (2018) "The Sparse Latent Position Model for nonnegative weighted networks" <arXiv:1808.09262>.

Determining potential output and the output gap - two inherently unobservable variables - is a major challenge for macroeconomists. sectorgap features a flexible modeling and estimation framework for a multivariate Bayesian state space model identifying economic output fluctuations consistent with subsectors of the economy. The proposed model is able to capture various correlations between output and a set of aggregate as well as subsector indicators. Estimation of the latent states and parameters is achieved using a simple Gibbs sampling procedure and various plotting options facilitate the assessment of the results. For details on the methodology and an illustrative example, see Streicher (2024) <https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/653682>.

Besides the necessary folder structure, entire apps can be created using a drag and drop interface and customized with respect to a specific use case. The addin allows the export of the required user interface and server code at any time. By allowing the creation of modules, the addin can be used throughout the entire app development process.

We present a rank-based Mercer kernel to compute a pair-wise similarity metric corresponding to informative representation of data. We tailor the development of a kernel to encode our prior knowledge about the data distribution over a probability space. The philosophical concept behind our construction is that objects whose feature values fall on the extreme of that featureâ s probability mass distribution are more similar to each other, than objects whose feature values lie closer to the mean. Semblance emphasizes features whose values lie far away from the mean of their probability distribution. The kernel relies on properties empirically determined from the data and does not assume an underlying distribution. The use of feature ranks on a probability space ensures that Semblance is computational efficacious, robust to outliers, and statistically stable, thus making it widely applicable algorithm for pattern analysis. The output from the kernel is a square, symmetric matrix that gives proximity values between pairs of observations.
