This package provides a simple method to display and characterise the multidimensional ecological niche of a species. The method also estimates the optimums and amplitudes along each niche dimension. Give also an estimation of the degree of niche overlapping between species. See Kleparski and Beaugrand (2022) <doi:10.1002/ece3.8830> for further details.

Sonification (or audification) is the process of representing data by sounds in the audible range. This package provides the R function sonify() that transforms univariate data, sampled at regular or irregular intervals, into a continuous sound with time-varying frequency. The ups and downs in frequency represent the ups and downs in the data. Sonify provides a substitute for R's plot function to simplify data analysis for the visually impaired.

This package implements numerous methods for testing for, modelling, and correcting for heteroskedasticity in the classical linear regression model. The most novel contribution of the package is found in the functions that implement the as-yet-unpublished auxiliary linear variance models and auxiliary nonlinear variance models that are designed to estimate error variances in a heteroskedastic linear regression model. These models follow principles of statistical learning described in Hastie (2009) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-21606-5>. The nonlinear version of the model is estimated using quasi-likelihood methods as described in Seber and Wild (2003, ISBN: 0-471-47135-6). Bootstrap methods for approximate confidence intervals for error variances are implemented as described in Efron and Tibshirani (1993, ISBN: 978-1-4899-4541-9), including also the expansion technique described in Hesterberg (2014) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2015.1089789>. The wild bootstrap employed here follows the description in Davidson and Flachaire (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2008.08.003>. Tuning of hyper-parameters makes use of a golden section search function that is modelled after the MATLAB function of Zarnowiec (2022) <https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/25919-golden-section-method-algorithm>. A methodological description of the algorithm can be found in Fox (2021, ISBN: 978-1-003-00957-3). There are 25 different functions that implement hypothesis tests for heteroskedasticity. These include a test based on Anscombe (1961) <https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.bsmsp/1200512155>, Ramsey's (1969) BAMSET Test <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1969.tb00796.x>, the tests of Bickel (1978) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176344124>, Breusch and Pagan (1979) <doi:10.2307/1911963> with and without the modification proposed by Koenker (1981) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(81)90062-2>, Carapeto and Holt (2003) <doi:10.1080/0266476022000018475>, Cook and Weisberg (1983) <doi:10.1093/biomet/70.1.1> (including their graphical methods), Diblasi and Bowman (1997) <doi:10.1016/S0167-7152(96)00115-0>, Dufour, Khalaf, Bernard, and Genest (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2003.10.024>, Evans and King (1985) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(85)90085-5> and Evans and King (1988) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(88)90006-1>, Glejser (1969) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1969.10500976> as formulated by Mittelhammer, Judge and Miller (2000, ISBN: 0-521-62394-4), Godfrey and Orme (1999) <doi:10.1080/07474939908800438>, Goldfeld and Quandt (1965) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1965.10480811>, Harrison and McCabe (1979) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482544>, Harvey (1976) <doi:10.2307/1913974>, Honda (1989) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1989.tb01749.x>, Horn (1981) <doi:10.1080/03610928108828074>, Li and Yao (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.ecosta.2018.01.001> with and without the modification of Bai, Pan, and Yin (2016) <doi:10.1007/s11749-017-0575-x>, Rackauskas and Zuokas (2007) <doi:10.1007/s10986-007-0018-6>, Simonoff and Tsai (1994) <doi:10.2307/2986026> with and without the modification of Ferrari, Cysneiros, and Cribari-Neto (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0378-3758(03)00210-6>, Szroeter (1978) <doi:10.2307/1913831>, Verbyla (1993) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1993.tb01918.x>, White (1980) <doi:10.2307/1912934>, Wilcox and Keselman (2006) <doi:10.1080/10629360500107923>, Yuce (2008) <https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/iuekois/issue/8989/112070>, and Zhou, Song, and Thompson (2015) <doi:10.1002/cjs.11252>. Besides these heteroskedasticity tests, there are supporting functions that compute the BLUS residuals of Theil (1965) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1965.10480851>, the conditional two-sided p-values of Kulinskaya (2008) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.0810.2124>, and probabilities for the nonparametric trend statistic of Lehmann (1975, ISBN: 0-816-24996-1). For handling heteroskedasticity, in addition to the new auxiliary variance model methods, there is a function to implement various existing Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimators from the literature, such as those of White (1980) <doi:10.2307/1912934>, MacKinnon and White (1985) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(85)90158-7>, Cribari-Neto (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0167-9473(02)00366-3>, Cribari-Neto et al.

Spectral and Average Autocorrelation Zero Distance Density ('sazed') is a method for estimating the season length of a seasonal time series. sazed is aimed at practitioners, as it employs only domain-agnostic preprocessing and does not depend on parameter tuning or empirical constants. The computation of sazed relies on the efficient autocorrelation computation methods suggested by Thibauld Nion (2012, URL: <https://etudes.tibonihoo.net/literate_musing/autocorrelations.html>) and by Bob Carpenter (2012, URL: <https://lingpipe-blog.com/2012/06/08/autocorrelation-fft-kiss-eigen/>).

The focus is on simulating and modeling families with founders drawn from a structured population (for example, with different ancestries or other potentially non-family relatedness), in contrast to traditional pedigree analysis that treats all founders as equally unrelated. Main function simulates a random pedigree for many generations, avoiding close relatives, pairing closest individuals according to a 1D geography and their randomly-drawn sex, and with variable children sizes to result in a target population size per generation. Auxiliary functions calculate kinship matrices, admixture matrices, and draw random genotypes across arbitrary pedigree structures starting from the corresponding founder values. The code is built around the plink FAM table format for pedigrees. Described in Yao and Ochoa (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.03.25.485885>.

This package provides a set of RStudio addins that are designed to be used in combination with user-defined RStudio keyboard shortcuts. These addins either: 1) insert text at a cursor position (e.g. insert operators %>%, <<-, %$%, etc.), 2) replace symbols in selected pieces of text (e.g., convert backslashes to forward slashes which results in stings like "c:\data\" converted into "c:/data/") or 3) enclose text with special symbols (e.g., converts "bold" into "**bold**") which is convenient for editing R Markdown files.

This package provides tools for performing variable selection in three-way data using N-PLS in combination with L1 penalization, Selectivity Ratio and VIP scores. The N-PLS model (Rasmus Bro, 1996 <DOI:10.1002/(SICI)1099-128X(199601)10:1%3C47::AID-CEM400%3E3.0.CO;2-C>) is the natural extension of PLS (Partial Least Squares) to N-way structures, and tries to maximize the covariance between X and Y data arrays. The package also adds variable selection through L1 penalization, Selectivity Ratio and VIP scores.

One key exploratory analysis step in single-cell genomics data analysis is the prediction of features with different activity levels. For example, we want to predict differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in single-cell RNA-seq data, spatial DEGs in spatial transcriptomics data, or differentially accessible regions (DARs) in single-cell ATAC-seq data. singleCellHaystack predicts differentially active features in single cell omics datasets without relying on the clustering of cells into arbitrary clusters. singleCellHaystack uses Kullback-Leibler divergence to find features (e.g., genes, genomic regions, etc) that are active in subsets of cells that are non-randomly positioned inside an input space (such as 1D trajectories, 2D tissue sections, multi-dimensional embeddings, etc). For the theoretical background of singleCellHaystack we refer to our original paper Vandenbon and Diez (Nature Communications, 2020) <doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17900-3> and our update Vandenbon and Diez (Scientific Reports, 2023) <doi:10.1038/s41598-023-38965-2>.

This package provides a framework that joins topic modeling and sentiment analysis of textual data. The package implements a fast Gibbs sampling estimation of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (Griffiths and Steyvers (2004) <doi:10.1073/pnas.0307752101>) and Joint Sentiment/Topic Model (Lin, He, Everson and Ruger (2012) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2011.48>). It offers a variety of helpers and visualizations to analyze the result of topic modeling. The framework also allows enriching topic models with dates and externally computed sentiment measures. A flexible aggregation scheme enables the creation of time series of sentiment or topical proportions from the enriched topic models. Moreover, a novel method jointly aggregates topic proportions and sentiment measures to derive time series of topical sentiment.

This package provides a comprehensive framework for quantifying the fundamental thermodynamic parameters of adsorption reactionsâ changes in the standard Gibbs free energy (delta G), enthalpy (delta H), and entropy (delta S)â is essential for understanding the spontaneity, heat effects, and molecular ordering associated with sorption processes. By analysing temperature-dependent equilibrium data, thermodynamic interpretation expands adsorption studies beyond conventional isotherm fitting, offering deeper insight into underlying mechanisms and surfaceâ solute interactions. Such an approach typically involves evaluating equilibrium coefficients across multiple temperatures and non-temperature treatments, deriving thermodynamic parameters using established thermodynamic relationships, and determining delta G as a temperature-specific indicator of adsorption favourability. This analytical pathway is widely applicable across environmental science, soil science, chemistry, materials science, and engineering, where reliable assessment of sorption behaviour is critical for examining contaminant retention, nutrient dynamics, and the behaviour of natural and engineered surfaces. By focusing specifically on thermodynamic inference, this framework complements existing adsorption isotherm-fitting packages such as âAdIsMFâ <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=AdIsMF> <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.AdIsMF>, and strengthens the scientific basis for interpreting adsorption energetics in both research and applied contexts. Details can be found in Roy et al. (2025) <doi:10.1007/s11270-025-07963-7>.
