This package provides functions for analysis of network objects, which are imported or simulated by the package. The non-parametric methods of analysis center on snowball and bootstrap sampling for estimating functions of network degree distribution. For other parameters of interest, see, e.g., bootnet package.

Data sets and functions to support the books "Statistics: Data analysis and modelling" by Speekenbrink, M. (2021) <https://mspeekenbrink.github.io/sdam-book/> and "An R companion to Statistics: data analysis and modelling" by Speekenbrink, M. (2021) <https://mspeekenbrink.github.io/sdam-r-companion/>. All datasets analysed in these books are provided in this package. In addition, the package provides functions to compute sample statistics (variance, standard deviation, mode), create raincloud and enhanced Q-Q plots, and expand Anova results into omnibus tests and tests of individual contrasts.

This package implements variational Bayesian algorithms to perform scalable variable selection for sparse, high-dimensional linear and logistic regression models. Features include a novel prioritized updating scheme, which uses a preliminary estimator of the variational means during initialization to generate an updating order prioritizing large, more relevant, coefficients. Sparsity is induced via spike-and-slab priors with either Laplace or Gaussian slabs. By default, the heavier-tailed Laplace density is used. Formal derivations of the algorithms and asymptotic consistency results may be found in Kolyan Ray and Botond Szabo (JASA 2020) and Kolyan Ray, Botond Szabo, and Gabriel Clara (NeurIPS 2020).

Spatial transcriptomics iterative hierarchical clustering ('stIHC'), is a method for identifying spatial gene co-expression modules, defined as groups of genes with shared spatial expression patterns. The method is applicable across spatial transcriptomics technologies with differing spatial resolution, and provides a framework for investigating the spatial organisation of gene expression in tissues. For further details, see Higgins C., Li J.J., Carey M. <doi:10.1002/qub2.70011>.

This package provides a consistent, semi-supervised, non-parametric survival curve estimator optimized for efficient use of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data with a limited number of current status labels. See van der Laan and Robins (1997) <doi:10.2307/2670119>.

This package implements the Self-Similarity Test for Normality (SSTN), a new statistical test designed to assess whether a given sample originates from a normal distribution. The method exploits the self-similarity property of the normal characteristic function by iteratively transforming and comparing standardized empirical characteristic functions. The null distribution of the test statistic is obtained via Monte Carlo simulation. Details of the methodology are described in Anarat and Schwender (2026), "A test for normality based on self-similarity", <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.03810>.

Import, plot, and diagnose results from statistical catch-at-age models, used in fisheries stock assessment.

Balancing computational and statistical efficiency, subsampling techniques offer a practical solution for handling large-scale data analysis. Subsampling methods enhance statistical modeling for massive datasets by efficiently drawing representative subsamples from full dataset based on tailored sampling probabilities. These probabilities are optimized for specific goals, such as minimizing the variance of coefficient estimates or reducing prediction error. Based on specified modeling assumptions and subsampling techniques, the package provides functions to draw subsamples from the full data, fit the model on the subsamples, and perform statistical inference.

The goal of stim is to provide a function for estimating the Stability Informed Model. The Stability Informed Model integrates stability information (how much a variable correlates with itself in the future) into cross-sectional estimates. Wysocki and Rhemtulla (2022) <https://psyarxiv.com/vg5as>.

This package implements the following approaches for multidimensional scaling (MDS) based on stress minimization using majorization (smacof): ratio/interval/ordinal/spline MDS on symmetric dissimilarity matrices, MDS with external constraints on the configuration, individual differences scaling (idioscal, indscal), MDS with spherical restrictions, and ratio/interval/ordinal/spline unfolding (circular restrictions, row-conditional). Various tools and extensions like jackknife MDS, bootstrap MDS, permutation tests, MDS biplots, gravity models, unidimensional scaling, drift vectors (asymmetric MDS), classical scaling, and Procrustes are implemented as well.

This package provides tools to compute and analyze the set of statistically-equivalent (Gaussian, linear) path models which generate the input precision or (partial) correlation matrix. This procedure is useful for understanding how statistical network models such as the Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) perform as causal discovery tools. The statistical-equivalence set of a given GGM expresses the uncertainty we have about the sign, size and direction of directed relationships based on the weights matrix of the GGM alone. The derivation of the equivalence set and its use for understanding GGMs as causal discovery tools is described by Ryan, O., Bringmann, L.F., & Schuurman, N.K. (2022) <doi: 10.31234/osf.io/ryg69>.

Testing of soil for the contents of organic carbon, and available macro- and micro-nutrients is a crucial part of soil fertility assessment. This package computes some routinely tested soil properties viz. organic carbon (C), total nitrogen (N), available N, mineral N, available phosphorus (P), available potassium (K), available iron (Fe), available zinc (Zn), available manganese (Mn), available copper (Cu), and available nickel (Ni) in soil based on laboratory analysis data obtained by most commonly followed protocols. Besides, it can also draw standard curves based on absorption/emission vs. concentration data, and give out unknown concentrations from absorption/emission readings.

Function for the computation of fractal dimension based on mass of soil particle size distribution by Tyler & Wheatcraft (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600020005x>. It also provides functions for calculation of mean weight and geometric mean diameter of particle size distribution by Perfect et al. (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600050012x>.

This package provides a framework for undertaking space and time varying coefficient models (varying parameter models) using a Generalized Additive Model (GAM) with smooths approach. The framework suggests the need to investigate for the presence and nature of any space-time dependencies in the data. It proposes a workflow that creates and refines an initial space-time GAM and includes tools to create and evaluate multiple model forms. The workflow sequence is to: i) Prepare the data by lengthening it to have a single location and time variables for each observation. ii) Create all possible space and/or time models in which each predictor is specified in different ways in smooths. iii) Evaluate each model via their AIC value and pick the best one. iv) Create the final model. v) Calculate the varying coefficient estimates to quantify how the relationships between the target and predictor variables vary over space, time or space-time. vi) Create maps, time series plots etc. The number of knots used in each smooth can be specified directly or iteratively increased. This is illustrated with a climate point dataset of the dry rain forest in South America. This builds on work in Comber et al (2024) <doi:10.1080/13658816.2023.2270285> and Comber et al (2004) <doi:10.3390/ijgi13120459>.

This package provides a switch-case construct for R', as it is known from other programming languages. It allows to test multiple, similar conditions in an efficient, easy-to-read manner, so nested if-else constructs can be avoided. The switch-case construct is designed as an R function that allows to return values depending on which condition is met and lets the programmer flexibly decide whether or not to leave the switch-case construct after a case block has been executed.
