This package provides a robust and powerful empirical Bayesian approach is developed for replicability analysis of two large-scale experimental studies. The method controls the false discovery rate by using the joint local false discovery rate based on the replicability null as the test statistic. An EM algorithm combined with a shape constraint nonparametric method is used to estimate unknown parameters and functions. [Li, Y. et al., (2024), <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1011423>].

Convenient tools for exchanging files securely from within R. By encrypting the content safe passage of files (shipment) can be provided by common but insecure carriers such as ftp and email. Based on asymmetric cryptography no management of shared secrets is needed to make a secure shipment as long as authentic public keys are available. Public keys used for secure shipments may also be obtained from external providers as part of the overall process. Transportation of files will require that relevant services such as ftp and email servers are available.

This package provides machine-readable access to parliamentary data of the Swiss Federal Assembly via the OData interface (<https://ws.parlament.ch/odata.svc/>) and the OpenParlData REST API (<https://api.openparldata.ch>), which also offers harmonized data for selected cantonal and municipal parliaments.

Traditional methods for analyzing single cell RNA-seq datasets focus solely on gene expression, but this package introduces a novel approach that goes beyond this limitation. Using Gene Ontology terms as features, the package allows for the functional profile of cell populations, and comparison within and between datasets from the same or different species. Our approach enables the discovery of previously unrecognized functional similarities and differences between cell types and has demonstrated success in identifying cell types functional correspondence even between evolutionarily distant species.

Suns-Voc (or Isc-Voc) curves can provide the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the diode of photovoltaic cells without the effect of series resistance. Here, Suns-Voc curves can be constructed with outdoor time-series I-V curves [1,2,3] of full-size photovoltaic (PV) modules instead of having to be measured in the lab. Time series of four different power loss modes can be calculated based on obtained Isc-Voc curves.

The development of post-processing functionality for simulated snow profiles by the snow and avalanche community is often done in python'. This package aims to make some of these tools accessible to R users. Currently integrated modules contain functions to calculate dry snow layer instabilities in support of avalache hazard assessments following the publications of Richter, Schweizer, Rotach, and Van Herwijnen (2019) <doi:10.5194/tc-13-3353-2019>, and Mayer, Van Herwijnen, Techel, and Schweizer (2022) <doi:10.5194/tc-2022-34>.

This package implements a method for fitting a bounded probability distribution to quantiles (for example stated by an expert), see Bornkamp and Ickstadt (2009) for details. For this purpose B-splines are used, and the density is obtained by penalized least squares based on a Brier entropy penalty. The package provides methods for fitting the distribution as well as methods for evaluating the underlying density and cdf. In addition methods for plotting the distribution, drawing random numbers and calculating quantiles of the obtained distribution are provided.

Forms queries to submit to the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank web site's financial stress index data site. Provides query functions for both the composite stress index and the components data. By default the download includes daily time series data starting September 25, 1991. The functions return a class of either type easing or cfsi which contain a list of items related to the query and its graphical presentation. The list includes the time series data as an xts object. The package provides four lattice time series plots to render the time series data in a manner similar to the bank's own presentation.

In contrast to MDS and PCA', SNHA uses a network approach to explore interacting variables. For details see Hermanussen et. al. 2021', <doi:10.3390/ijerph18041741>.

This package provides a general purpose simulation-based power analysis API for routine and customized simulation experimental designs. The package focuses exclusively on Monte Carlo simulation experiment variants of (expected) prospective power analyses, criterion analyses, compromise analyses, sensitivity analyses, and a priori/post-hoc analyses. The default simulation experiment functions defined within the package provide stochastic variants of the power analysis subroutines in G*Power 3.1 (Faul, Erdfelder, Buchner, and Lang, 2009) <doi:10.3758/brm.41.4.1149>, along with various other parametric and non-parametric power analysis applications (e.g., mediation analyses) and support for Bayesian power analysis by way of Bayes factors or posterior probability evaluations. Additional functions for building empirical power curves, reanalyzing simulation information, and for increasing the precision of the resulting power estimates are also included, each of which utilize similar API structures. For further details see the associated publication in Chalmers (2025) <doi:10.3758/s13428-025-02787-z>.

This package provides a simulator for reticulate evolution under a birth-death-hybridization process. Here the birth-death process is extended to consider reticulate Evolution by allowing hybridization events to occur. The general purpose simulator allows the modeling of three different reticulate patterns: lineage generative hybridization, lineage neutral hybridization, and lineage degenerative hybridization. Users can also specify hybridization events to be dependent on a trait value or genetic distance. We also extend some phylogenetic tree utility and plotting functions for networks. We allow two different stopping conditions: simulated to a fixed time or number of taxa. When simulating to a fixed number of taxa, the user can simulate under the Generalized Sampling Approach that properly simulates phylogenies when assuming a uniform prior on the root age.

This package implements a regularization method for cumulative link models using the Smooth-Effect-on-Response Penalty (SERP). This method allows flexible modeling of ordinal data by enabling a smooth transition from a general cumulative link model to a simplified version of the same model. As the tuning parameter increases from zero to infinity, the subject-specific effects for each variable converge to a single global effect. The approach addresses common issues in cumulative link models, such as parameter unidentifiability and numerical instability, by maximizing a penalized log-likelihood instead of the standard non-penalized version. Fitting is performed using a modified Newton's method. Additionally, the package includes various model performance metrics and descriptive tools. For details on the implemented penalty method, see Ugba (2021) <doi:10.21105/joss.03705> and Ugba et al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/stats4030037>.
