Plant ecologists often need to collect "traits" data about plant species which are often scattered among various databases: TR8 contains a set of tools which take care of automatically retrieving some of those functional traits data for plant species from publicly available databases (The Ecological Flora of the British Isles, LEDA traitbase, Ellenberg values for Italian Flora, Mycorrhizal intensity databases, BROT, PLANTS, Jepson Flora Project). The TR8 name, inspired by "car plates" jokes, was chosen since it both reminds of the main object of the package and is extremely short to type.

Estimators for semi-parametric linear regression models with truncated response variables (fixed truncation point). The estimators implemented are the Symmetrically Trimmed Least Squares (STLS) estimator introduced by Powell (1986) <doi:10.2307/1914308>, the Quadratic Mode (QME) estimator introduced by Lee (1993) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(93)90056-B>, and the Left Truncated (LT) estimator introduced by Karlsson (2006) <doi:10.1007/s00184-005-0023-x>.

This package provides methods for generating .dat files for use with the AMPL software using spatial data, particularly rasters.

This package provides tools for constructing and analyzing two-phase experimental designs under correlated error structures. Version 1.1.1 includes improved efficiency factor classification with tolerance control, updated plot visualizations, and improved clarity of the results. The conceptual framework and the term two-phase were introduced by McIntyre (1955) <doi:10.2307/3001770>).

Using Gaussian graphical models we propose a novel approach to perform pathway analysis using gene expression. Given the structure of a graph (a pathway) we introduce two statistical tests to compare the mean and the concentration matrices between two groups. Specifically, these tests can be performed on the graph and on its connected components (cliques). The package is based on the method described in Massa M.S., Chiogna M., Romualdi C. (2010) <doi:10.1186/1752-0509-4-121>.

This package provides wrapper functions to the multiple marginal model function mmm() of package multcomp to implement the trend test of Tukey, Ciminera and Heyse (1985) <DOI:10.2307/2530666> for general parametric models.

This package provides a complete data set of historic GB trig points in British National Grid (OSGB36) coordinate reference system. Trig points (aka triangulation stations) are fixed survey points used to improve the accuracy of map making in Great Britain during the 20th Century. Trig points are typically located on hilltops so still serve as a useful navigational aid for walkers and hikers today.

This package provides a connector to the What3Words (http://what3words.com/) service, which represents each 3m by 3m square on earth with a unique trio of English-language words.

This package provides a variety of tools for assessing dose response curves, with an emphasis on toxicity test data. The main feature of this package are modular functions which can be combined through the namesake pipeline, runtoxdrc', to automate the analysis for large and complex datasets. This includes optional data preprocessing steps, like outlier detection, solvent effects, blank correction, averaging technical replicates, and much more. Additionally, this pipeline is adaptable to any long form dataset, and does not require specific column or group naming to work.

This package provides a clinically meaningful measures of treatment effects for right-censored data are provided, based on the concept of Kendall's tau, along with the corresponding inference procedures. Two plots of tau processes, with the option to account for the cure fraction or not, are available. The plots of tau processes serve as useful graphical tools for monitoring the relative performances over time.

Goodness of Fit and Forecast Evaluation Tests for timeseries models. Includes, among others, the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) Orthogonality Test of Hansen (1982), the Nyblom (1989) parameter constancy test, the sign-bias test of Engle and Ng (1993), and a range of tests for value at risk and expected shortfall evaluation.

This package performs Three-Mode Principal Components Analysis, which carries out Tucker Models.

This package provides functions to build interactive dashboards combining the Tabler UI Kit with Shiny', making it easy to create professional-looking web applications. Tabler is fully responsive and compatible with all modern browsers. Offers customizable layouts and components built with HTML5 and CSS3'. The underlying Tabler (<https://github.com/tabler/tabler>) and Tabler Icons (<https://github.com/tabler/tabler-icons>) were pre-built from source to eliminate the need for Node.js and NPM on package installation.

Characterisation of the extremal dependence structure of time series, avoiding pre-processing and filtering as done typically with peaks-over-threshold methods. It uses the conditional approach of Heffernan and Tawn (2004) <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2004.02050.x> which is very flexible in terms of extremal and asymptotic dependence structures, and Bayesian methods improve efficiency and allow for deriving measures of uncertainty. For example, the extremal index, related to the size of clusters in time, can be estimated and samples from its posterior distribution obtained.

This package provides methods for extracting various features from time series data. The features provided are those from Hyndman, Wang and Laptev (2013) <doi:10.1109/ICDMW.2015.104>, Kang, Hyndman and Smith-Miles (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2016.09.004> and from Fulcher, Little and Jones (2013) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2013.0048>. Features include spectral entropy, autocorrelations, measures of the strength of seasonality and trend, and so on. Users can also define their own feature functions.

This package provides conditional maximum likelihood (CML) item parameter estimation of both sequential and cumulative deterministic multistage designs (Zwitser & Maris, 2015, <doi:10.1007/s11336-013-9369-6>) and probabilistic sequential and cumulative multistage designs (Steinfeld & Robitzsch, 2024, <doi:10.1007/s41237-024-00228-3>).
