This package provides a variational Bayesian finite mixture model for the clustering of categorical data, and can implement variable selection and semi-supervised outcome guiding if desired. Incorporates an option to perform model averaging over multiple initialisations to reduce the effects of local optima and improve the automatic estimation of the true number of clusters. For further details, see the paper by Rao and Kirk (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.16227>.

This package provides tools for 3D point cloud voxelisation, projection, geometrical and morphological description of trees (DBH, height, volume, crown diameter), analyses of temporal changes between different measurement times, distance based clustering and visualisation of 3D voxel clouds and 2D projection. Most analyses and algorithms provided in the package are based on the concept of space exploration and are described in Lecigne et al. (2018, <doi:10.1093/aob/mcx095>).

This package provides a Variational Bayesian algorithm for high-dimensional multi-source heterogeneous linear models. More details have been written up in a paper submitted to the journal Statistics in Medicine, and the details of variational Bayesian methods can be found in Ray and Szabo (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1847121>. It simultaneously performs parameter estimation and variable selection. The algorithm supports two model settings: (1) local models, where variable selection is only applied to homogeneous coefficients, and (2) global models, where variable selection is also performed on heterogeneous coefficients. Two forms of Spike-and-Slab priors are available: the Laplace distribution and the Gaussian distribution as the Slab component.

Enables computationally efficient parameters-estimation by variational Bayesian methods for various diagnostic classification models (DCMs). DCMs are a class of discrete latent variable models for classifying respondents into latent classes that typically represent distinct combinations of skills they possess. Recently, to meet the growing need of large-scale diagnostic measurement in the field of educational, psychological, and psychiatric measurements, variational Bayesian inference has been developed as a computationally efficient alternative to the Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, e.g., Yamaguchi and Okada (2020a) <doi:10.1007/s11336-020-09739-w>, Yamaguchi and Okada (2020b) <doi:10.3102/1076998620911934>, Yamaguchi (2020) <doi:10.1007/s41237-020-00104-w>, Oka and Okada (2023) <doi:10.1007/s11336-022-09884-4>, and Yamaguchi and Martinez (2023) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12308>. To facilitate their applications, variationalDCM is developed to provide a collection of recently-proposed variational Bayesian estimation methods for various DCMs.

This package implements functions for varying coefficient meta-analysis methods. These methods do not assume effect size homogeneity. Subgroup effect size comparisons, general linear effect size contrasts, and linear models of effect sizes based on varying coefficient methods can be used to describe effect size heterogeneity. Varying coefficient meta-analysis methods do not require the unrealistic assumptions of the traditional fixed-effect and random-effects meta-analysis methods. For details see: Statistical Methods for Psychologists, Volume 5, <https://dgbonett.sites.ucsc.edu/>.

The algorithm implemented in this package was designed to quickly estimates the distribution of the log-rank especially for heavy unbalanced groups. VALORATE estimates the null distribution and the p-value of the log-rank test based on a recent formulation. For a given number of alterations that define the size of survival groups, the estimation involves a weighted sum of distributions that are conditional on a co-occurrence term where mutations and events are both present. The estimation of conditional distributions is quite fast allowing the analysis of large datasets in few minutes <https://bioinformatics.mx/index.php/bioinfo-tools/>.

This package implements a set of routines to perform structured matrix factorization with minimum volume constraints. The NMF procedure decomposes a matrix X into a product C * D. Given conditions such that the matrix C is non-negative and has sufficiently spread columns, then volume minimization of a matrix D delivers a correct and unique, up to a scale and permutation, solution (C, D). This package provides both an implementation of volume-regularized NMF and "anchor-free" NMF, whereby the standard NMF problem is reformulated in the covariance domain. This algorithm was applied in Vladimir B. Seplyarskiy Ruslan A. Soldatov, et al. "Population sequencing data reveal a compendium of mutational processes in the human germ line". Science, 12 Aug 2021. <doi:10.1126/science.aba7408>. This package interacts with data available through the simulatedNMF package, which is available in a drat repository. To access this data package, see the instructions at <https://github.com/kharchenkolab/vrnmf>. The size of the simulatedNMF package is approximately 8 MB.

Alternative splicing produces a variety of different protein products from a given gene. VALERIE enables visualisation of alternative splicing events from high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing experiments. VALERIE computes percent spliced-in (PSI) values for user-specified genomic coordinates corresponding to alternative splicing events. PSI is the proportion of sequencing reads supporting the included exon/intron as defined by Shiozawa (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41467-018-06063-x>. PSI are inferred from sequencing reads data based on specialised infrastructures for representing and computing annotated genomic ranges by Lawrence (2013) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003118>. Computed PSI for each single cell are subsequently presented in the form of a heatmap implemented using the pheatmap package by Kolde (2010) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=pheatmap>. Board overview of the mean PSI difference and associated p-values across different user-defined groups of single cells are presented in the form of a line graph using the ggplot2 package by Wickham (2007) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ggplot2>.

Automatically selects and visualises statistical hypothesis tests between two vectors, based on their class, distribution, sample size, and a user-defined confidence level (conf.level). Visual outputs - including box plots, bar charts, regression lines with confidence bands, mosaic plots, residual plots, and Q-Q plots - are annotated with relevant test statistics, assumption checks, and post-hoc analyses where applicable. The algorithmic workflow helps the user focus on the interpretation of test results rather than test selection. It is particularly suited for quick data analysis, e.g., in statistical consulting projects or educational settings. The test selection algorithm proceeds as follows: Input vectors of class numeric or integer are considered numerical; those of class factor are considered categorical. Assumptions of residual normality and homogeneity of variances are considered met if the corresponding test yields a p-value greater than the significance level alpha = 1 - conf.level. (1) When the response vector is numerical and the predictor vector is categorical, a test of central tendencies is selected. If the categorical predictor has exactly two levels, t.test() is applied when group sizes exceed 30 (Lumley et al. (2002) <doi:10.1146/annurev.publhealth.23.100901.140546>). For smaller samples, normality of residuals is tested using shapiro.test(); if met, t.test() is used; otherwise, wilcox.test(). If the predictor is categorical with more than two levels, an aov() is initially fitted. Residual normality is evaluated using both shapiro.test() and ad.test(); residuals are considered approximately normal if at least one test yields a p-value above alpha. If this assumption is met, bartlett.test() assesses variance homogeneity. If variances are homogeneous, aov() is used; otherwise oneway.test(). Both tests are followed by TukeyHSD(). If residual normality cannot be assumed, kruskal.test() is followed by pairwise.wilcox.test(). (2) When both the response and predictor vectors are numerical, a simple linear regression model is fitted using lm(). (3) When both vectors are categorical, Cochran's rule (Cochran (1954) <doi:10.2307/3001666>) is applied to test independence either by chisq.test() or fisher.test().
