Efficient Bayesian generalized linear models with time-varying coefficients as in Helske (2022, <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2022.101016>). Gaussian, Poisson, and binomial observations are supported. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computations are done using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo provided by Stan, using a state space representation of the model in order to marginalise over the coefficients for efficient sampling. For non-Gaussian models, the package uses the importance sampling type estimators based on approximate marginal MCMC as in Vihola, Helske, Franks (2020, <doi:10.1111/sjos.12492>).

First, we provide functions to calculate the partial derivative of the first-passage time diffusion probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) with respect to the first-passage time t (only for PDF), the upper barrier a, the drift rate v, the relative starting point w, the non-decision time t0, the inter-trial variability of the drift rate sv, the inter-trial variability of the rel. starting point sw, and the inter-trial variability of the non-decision time st0. In addition the PDF and CDF themselves are also provided. Most calculations are done on the logarithmic scale to make it more stable. Since the PDF, CDF, and their derivatives are represented as infinite series, we give the user the option to control the approximation errors with the argument precision'. For the numerical integration we used the C library cubature by Johnson, S. G. (2005-2013) <https://github.com/stevengj/cubature>. Numerical integration is required whenever sv, sw, and/or st0 is not zero. Note that numerical integration reduces speed of the computation and the precision cannot be guaranteed anymore. Therefore, whenever numerical integration is used an estimate of the approximation error is provided in the output list. Note: The large number of contributors (ctb) is due to copying a lot of C/C++ code chunks from the GNU Scientific Library (GSL). Second, we provide methods to sample from the first-passage time distribution with or without user-defined truncation from above. The first method is a new adaptive rejection sampler building on the works of Gilks and Wild (1992; <doi:10.2307/2347565>) and Hartmann and Klauer (in press). The second method is a rejection sampler provided by Drugowitsch (2016; <doi:10.1038/srep20490>). The third method is an inverse transformation sampler. The fourth method is a "pseudo" adaptive rejection sampler that builds on the first method. For more details see the corresponding help files.

This package provides a prediction model is calibrated if, roughly, for any percentage x we can expect that x subjects out of 100 experience the event among all subjects that have a predicted risk of x%. A calibration plot provides a simple, yet useful, way of assessing the calibration assumption. The Wally plot consists of a sequence of usual calibration plots. Among the plots contained within the sequence, one is the actual calibration plot which has been obtained from the data and the others are obtained from similar simulated data under the calibration assumption. It provides the investigator with a direct visual understanding of the shape and sampling variability that are common under the calibration assumption. The original calibration plot from the data is included randomly among the simulated calibration plots, similarly to a police lineup. If the original calibration plot is not easily identified then the calibration assumption is not contradicted by the data. The method handles the common situations in which the data contain censored observations and occurrences of competing events.

This package performs Wasserstein projections from the predictive distributions of any model into the space of predictive distributions of linear models. We utilize L1 penalties to also reduce the complexity of the model space. This package employs the methods as described in Dunipace, Eric and Lorenzo Trippa (2020) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2012.09999>.

Using a time-varying random parameters model developed in Koutchade et al., (2024) <https://hal.science/hal-04318163>, this package allows allocating variable input costs among crops produced by farmers based on panel data including information on input expenditure aggregated at the farm level and acreage shares. It also considers in fairly way the weighting data and can allow integrating time-varying and time-constant control variables.

This package provides a parallel implementation of Weighted Subspace Random Forest. The Weighted Subspace Random Forest algorithm was proposed in the International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining by Baoxun Xu, Joshua Zhexue Huang, Graham Williams, Qiang Wang, and Yunming Ye (2012) <DOI:10.4018/jdwm.2012040103>. The algorithm can classify very high-dimensional data with random forests built using small subspaces. A novel variable weighting method is used for variable subspace selection in place of the traditional random variable sampling.This new approach is particularly useful in building models from high-dimensional data.

Enables interaction with the National Weather Service application programming web-interface for fetching of real-time and forecast meteorological data. Users can provide latitude and longitude, Automated Surface Observing System identifier, or Automated Weather Observing System identifier to fetch recent weather observations and recent forecasts for the given location or station. Additionally, auxiliary functions exist to identify stations nearest to a point, convert wind direction from character to degrees, and fetch active warnings. Results are returned as simple feature objects whenever possible.

Process GPS and accelerometry data to generate walk bouts. A walk bout is a period of activity with accelerometer movement matching the patterns of walking with corresponding GPS measurements that confirm travel. The inputs of the walkboutr package are individual-level accelerometry and GPS data. The outputs of the model are walk bouts with corresponding times, duration, and summary statistics on the sample population, which collapse all personally identifying information. These bouts can be used to measure walking both as an outcome of a change to the built environment or as a predictor of health outcomes such as a cardioprotective behavior.

The continuous wavelet transform enables the observation of transient/non-stationary cyclicity in time-series. The goal of cyclostratigraphic studies is to define frequency/period in the depth/time domain. By conducting the continuous wavelet transform on cyclostratigraphic data series one can observe and extract cyclic signals/signatures from signals. These results can then be visualized and interpreted enabling one to identify/interpret cyclicity in the geological record, which can be used to construct astrochronological age-models and identify and interpret cyclicity in past and present climate systems. The WaverideR R package builds upon existing literature and existing codebase. The list of articles which are relevant can be grouped in four subjects; cyclostratigraphic data analysis,example data sets,the (continuous) wavelet transform and astronomical solutions.

This package provides efficient implementations of weighted dependence measures and related asymptotic tests for independence. Implemented measures are the Pearson correlation, Spearman's rho, Kendall's tau, Blomqvist's beta, and Hoeffding's D; see, e.g., Nelsen (2006) <doi:10.1007/0-387-28678-0> and Hollander et al. (2015, ISBN:9780470387375).

Estimates the Vevea and Hedges (1995) weight-function model. By specifying arguments, users can also estimate the modified model described in Vevea and Woods (2005), which may be more practical with small datasets. Users can also specify moderators to estimate a linear model. The package functionality allows users to easily extract the results of these analyses as R objects for other uses. In addition, the package includes a function to launch both models as a Shiny application. Although the Shiny application is also available online, this function allows users to launch it locally if they choose.

Implementation of integrative weighting approaches for multiple observational studies and causal inferences. The package features three weighting approaches, each representing a special case of the unified weighting framework, introduced by Guha and Li (2024) <doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujae070>, which includes an extension of inverse probability weights for data integration settings.
