We provide a toolbox to estimate the time delay between the brightness time series of gravitationally lensed quasar images via Bayesian and profile likelihood approaches. The model is based on a state-space representation for irregularly observed time series data generated from a latent continuous-time Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Our Bayesian method adopts scientifically motivated hyper-prior distributions and a Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs sampler, producing posterior samples of the model parameters that include the time delay. A profile likelihood of the time delay is a simple approximation to the marginal posterior distribution of the time delay. Both Bayesian and profile likelihood approaches complement each other, producing almost identical results; the Bayesian way is more principled but the profile likelihood is easier to implement. A new functionality is added in version 1.0.9 for estimating the time delay between doubly-lensed light curves observed in two bands. See also Tak et al. (2017) <doi:10.1214/17-AOAS1027>, Tak et al.

Assists performing tip-dating of phylogenetic trees with BEAST BEAST is a popular software for phylogenetic analysis. The package assists the implementation of various phylogenetic tip- dating tests using BEAST. It contains two main functions. The first one allows preparing date randomization analyses, which assess the temporal signal of a data set. The second function allows performing leave-one-out analyses, which test for the consistency between independent calibration sequences and allow pinpointing those leading to potential bias. The included tutorial provides detailed step-by-step instructions. An expanded description of the package can be found in article: Rieux, A. and Khatchikian, C.E. (2017), TIPDATINGBEAST: an R package to assist the implementation of phylogenetic tip-dating tests using BEAST. Molecular Ecology Resources, 17: 608-613. <onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1755-0998.12603>.

Assists in analyzing the lying behavior of cows from raw data recorded with a triaxial accelerometer attached to the hind leg of a cow. Allows the determination of common measures for lying behavior including total lying duration, the number of lying bouts, and the mean duration of lying bouts. Further capabilities are the description of lying laterality and the calculation of proxies for the level of physical activity of the cow. Reference: Simmler M., Brouwers S. P.

Measure text's sentiment with dictionaries and simple rules covering negations and modifiers. User-supplied dictionaries are supported, including Unicode emojis and multi-word tokens, so this package can also be used to study constructs beyond sentiment.

Trauma Mortality prediction for ICD-9, ICD-10, and AIS lexicons in long or wide format based on Dr. Alan Cook's tmpm mortality model.

This package provides a geomorphology-based hydrological modelling for transferring streamflow measurements from gauged to ungauged catchments. Inverse modelling enables to estimate net rainfall from streamflow measurements following Boudhraâ et al. (2018) <doi:10.1080/02626667.2018.1425801>. Resulting net rainfall is then estimated on the ungauged catchments by spatial interpolation in order to finally simulate streamflow following de Lavenne et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/2016WR018716>.

Handles truncated members from the exponential family of probability distributions. Contains functions such as rtruncnorm() and dtruncpois(), which are truncated versions of rnorm() and dpois() from the stats package that also offer richer output containing, for example, the distribution parameters. It also provides functions to retrieve the original distribution parameters from a truncated sample by maximum-likelihood estimation.

Tidying functions built on data.table to provide quick and efficient data manipulation with minimal overhead.

Estimate the transition diagnostic classification model (TDCM) described in Madison & Bradshaw (2018) <doi:10.1007/s11336-018-9638-5>, a longitudinal extension of the log-linear cognitive diagnosis model (LCDM) in Henson, Templin & Willse (2009) <doi:10.1007/s11336-008-9089-5>. As the LCDM subsumes many other diagnostic classification models (DCMs), many other DCMs can be estimated longitudinally via the TDCM. The TDCM package includes functions to estimate the single-group and multigroup TDCM, summarize results of interest including item parameters, growth proportions, transition probabilities, transitional reliability, attribute correlations, model fit, and growth plots.

Finds the posterior modes for the mean and standard deviation for a truncated normal distribution with one or two known truncation points. The method used extends Bayesian methods for parameter estimation for a singly truncated normal distribution under the Jeffreys prior (see Zhou X, Giacometti R, Fabozzi FJ, Tucker AH (2014). "Bayesian estimation of truncated data with applications to operational risk measurement". <doi:10.1080/14697688.2012.752103>). This package additionally allows for a doubly truncated normal distribution.

Evaluation of alternatives based on multiple criteria using TOPSIS method.

General framework to organize data, methods, and results used in reproducible scientific analyses. A TAF analysis consists of four scripts (data.R, model.R, output.R, report.R) that are run sequentially. Each script starts by reading files from a previous step and ends with writing out files for the next step. Convenience functions are provided to version control the required data and software, run analyses, clean residues from previous runs, manage files, manipulate tables, and produce figures. With a focus on stability and reproducible analyses, the TAF package comes with no dependencies. TAF forms a base layer for the icesTAF package and other scientific applications.

Providing new german-wide TapeR Models and functions for their evaluation. Included are the most common tree species in Germany (Norway spruce, Scots pine, European larch, Douglas fir, Silver fir as well as European beech, Common/Sessile oak and Red oak). Many other species are mapped to them so that 36 tree species / groups can be processed. Single trees are defined by species code, one or multiple diameters in arbitrary measuring height and tree height. The functions then provide information on diameters along the stem, bark thickness, height of diameters, volume of the total or parts of the trunk and total and component above-ground biomass. It is also possible to calculate assortments from the taper curves. Uncertainty information is provided for diameter, volume and component biomass estimation.
