This package implements snake in R as a programming example, see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_(video_game_genre)>.

Fits time trend models for routine disease surveillance tasks and returns probability distributions for a variety of quantities of interest, including age-standardized rates, period and cumulative percent change, and measures of health inequality. The models are appropriate for count data such as disease incidence and mortality data, employing a Poisson or binomial likelihood and the first-difference (random-walk) prior for unknown risk. Optionally add a covariance matrix for multiple, correlated time series models. Inference is completed using Markov chain Monte Carlo via the Stan modeling language.

This package provides a coalescent simulator that allows the rapid simulation of biological sequences under neutral models of evolution, see Staab et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu861>. Different to other coalescent based simulations, it has an optional approximation parameter that allows for high accuracy while maintaining a linear run time cost for long sequences. It is optimized for simulating massive data sets as produced by Next- Generation Sequencing technologies for up to several thousand sequences.

Supports simulating choice experiment data for given designs. It helps to quickly test different designs against each other and compare the performance of new models. The goal of simulateDCE is to make it easy to simulate choice experiment datasets using designs from NGENE', idefix or spdesign'. You have to store the design file(s) in a sub-directory and need to specify certain parameters and the utility functions for the data generating process. For more details on choice experiments see Mariel et al. (2021) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-62669-3>.

Algorithm to estimate the Sobol indices using a non-parametric fit of the regression curve. The bandwidth is estimated using bootstrap to reduce the finite-sample bias. The package is based on the paper Solà s, M. (2018) <arXiv:1803.03333>.

The SPARRA risk score (Scottish Patients At Risk of admission and Re-Admission) estimates yearly risk of emergency hospital admission using electronic health records on a monthly basis for most of the Scottish population. This package implements a suite of functions used to analyse the behaviour and performance of the score, focusing particularly on differential performance over demographically-defined groups. It includes useful utility functions to plot receiver-operator-characteristic, precision-recall and calibration curves, draw stock human figures, estimate counterfactual quantities without the need to re-compute risk scores, to simulate a semi-realistic dataset. Our manuscript can be found at: <doi:10.1371/journal.pdig.0000675>.

This package provides functions for generating Standardized Climate Indices (SCI). Functions for generating Standardized Climate Indices (SCI). SCI is a transformation of (smoothed) climate (or environmental) time series that removes seasonality and forces the data to take values of the standard normal distribution. SCI was originally developed for precipitation. In this case it is known as the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI).

Metapackage for implementing a variety of event-based models, with a focus on spatially explicit models. These include raster-based, event-based, and agent-based models. The core simulation components (provided by SpaDES.core') are built upon a discrete event simulation (DES; see Matloff (2011) ch 7.8.3 <https://nostarch.com/artofr.htm>) framework that facilitates modularity, and easily enables the user to include additional functionality by running user-built simulation modules (see also SpaDES.tools'). Included are numerous tools to visualize rasters and other maps (via quickPlot'), and caching methods for reproducible simulations (via reproducible'). Tools for running simulation experiments are provided by SpaDES.experiment'. Additional functionality is provided by the SpaDES.addins and SpaDES.shiny packages.

An htmlwidget of the human body that allows you to hide/show and assign colors to 79 different body parts. The human widget is an htmlwidget', so it works in Quarto documents, R Markdown documents, or any other HTML medium. It also functions as an input/output widget in a shiny app.

Develop spatial interaction models (SIMs). SIMs predict the amount of interaction, for example number of trips per day, between geographic entities representing trip origins and destinations. Contains functions for creating origin-destination datasets from geographic input datasets and calculating movement between origin-destination pairs with constrained, production-constrained, and attraction-constrained models (Wilson 1979) <doi:10.1068/a030001>.

Search for variables across multiple survey datasets, examine variable properties (labels, values, missingness), and explore variable context within datasets. Useful for navigating complex survey data with many variables and understanding variable relationships and metadata.

This package implements Bayesian inference in accelerated failure time (AFT) models for right-censored survival times assuming a log-logistic distribution. Details of the variational Bayes algorithms, with and without shared frailty, are described in Xian et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10365-6> and Xian et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2408.00177>, respectively.

There are numerous places to create and download color palettes. These are usually shared in Adobe swatch file formats of some kind. There is also often the need to use standard palettes developed within an organization to ensure that aesthetics are carried over into all projects and output. Now there is a way to read these swatch files in R and avoid transcribing or converting color values by hand or or with other programs. This package provides functions to read and inspect Adobe Color ('ACO'), Adobe Swatch Exchange ('ASE'), GIMP Palette ('GPL'), OpenOffice palette ('SOC') files and KDE Palette ('colors') files. Detailed descriptions of Adobe Color and Swatch Exchange file formats as well as other swatch file formats can be found at <http://www.selapa.net/swatches/colors/fileformats.php>.

Sometimes it's useful to know some information about your user in a Shiny app. The available information is: browser name (such as Chrome or Safari') and version, device type (mobile or desktop), operating system (such as Windows or Mac or Android') and version, and browser dimensions.

Scaffold an entire web-based report using template chunks, based on a small chapter overview and a dataset. Highly adaptable with prefixes, suffixes, translations, etc. Also contains tools for password-protecting, e.g. for each organization's report on a website. Developed for the common case of a survey across multiple organizations/sites where each organization wants to obtain results for their organization compared with everyone else. See saros (<https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=saros>) for tools used for authors in the drafted reports.

Approximate Bayesian regularization using Gaussian approximations. The input is a vector of estimates and a Gaussian error covariance matrix of the key parameters. Bayesian shrinkage is then applied to obtain parsimonious solutions. The method is described on Karimova, van Erp, Leenders, and Mulder (2025) <DOI:10.1016/j.jmp.2025.102925>. Gibbs samplers are used for model fitting. The shrinkage priors that are supported are Gaussian (ridge) priors, Laplace (lasso) priors (Park and Casella, 2008 <DOI:10.1198/016214508000000337>), and horseshoe priors (Carvalho, et al., 2010; <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>). These priors include an option for grouped regularization of different subsets of parameters (Meier et al., 2008; <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2007.00627.x>). F priors are used for the penalty parameters lambda^2 (Mulder and Pericchi, 2018 <DOI:10.1214/17-BA1092>). This correspond to half-Cauchy priors on lambda (Carvalho, Polson, Scott, 2010 <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>).

Implementation of the original Sequence Globally Unique Identifier (SEGUID) algorithm [Babnigg and Giometti (2006) <doi:10.1002/pmic.200600032>] and SEGUID v2 (<https://www.seguid.org>), which extends SEGUID v1 with support for linear, circular, single- and double-stranded biological sequences, e.g. DNA, RNA, and proteins.

This comprehensive toolkit for skewed regression is designated as "SLIC" (The LIC for Distributed Skewed Regression Analysis). It is predicated on the assumption that the error term follows a skewed distribution, such as the Skew-Normal, Skew-t, or Skew-Laplace. The methodology and theoretical foundation of the package are described in Guo G.(2020) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2022.2053949>.

Based on the structure of the SPSS version of the Swiss Household Panel (SHP) data, provides a function seqFromWaves() that seeks the data of variables specified by the user in each of the wave files and collects them as sequences. The function also matches the sequences with variables from other files such as the master files of persons (MP) and households (MH), and social origins (SO). It can also match with activity calendar data (CA).
