In Switzerland, the landscape of municipalities is changing rapidly mainly due to mergers. The Swiss Municipal Data Merger Tool automatically detects these mutations and maps municipalities over time, i.e. municipalities of an old state to municipalities of a new state. This functionality is helpful when working with datasets that are based on different spatial references. The package's idea and use case is discussed in the following article: <doi:10.1111/spsr.12487>.

This package performs variable selection/feature reduction under a clustering or classification framework. In particular, it can be used in an automated fashion using mixture model-based methods ('teigen and mclust are currently supported). Can account for mixtures of non-Gaussian distributions via Manly transform (via ManlyMix'). See Andrews and McNicholas (2014) <doi:10.1007/s00357-013-9139-2> and Neal and McNicholas (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2305.16464>.

Perform fast functional enrichment on feature lists (like genes or proteins) using the hypergeometric distribution. Tailored for speed, this package is ideal for interactive platforms such as Shiny. It supports the retrieval of functional data from sources like GO, KEGG, Reactome, Bioplanet and WikiPathways. By downloading and preparing data first, it allows for rapid successive tests on various feature selections without the need for repetitive, time-consuming preparatory steps typical of other packages.

The SCDE package implements a set of statistical methods for analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data. SCDE fits individual error models for single-cell RNA-seq measurements. These models can then be used for assessment of differential expression between groups of cells, as well as other types of analysis. The SCDE package also contains the pagoda framework which applies pathway and gene set overdispersion analysis to identify aspects of transcriptional heterogeneity among single cells.

This package offers an implementation of the Abnormal blood profile score (ABPS). The ABPS is a part of the Athlete biological passport program of the World anti-doping agency, which combines several blood parameters into a single score in order to detect blood doping. The package also contains functions to calculate other scores used in anti-doping programs, such as the ratio of hemoglobin to reticulocytes (OFF-score), as well as example data.

Mappable vector library provides convenient way to access large datasets. Use all of your data at once, with few limits. Memory mapped data can be shared between multiple R processes. Access speed depends on storage medium, so solid state drive is recommended, preferably with PCI Express (or M.2 nvme) interface or a fast network file system. The data is memory mapped into R and then accessed using usual R list and array subscription operators. Convenience functions are provided for merging, grouping and indexing large vectors and data.frames. The layout of underlying MVL files is optimized for large datasets. The vectors are stored to guarantee alignment for vector intrinsics after memory map. The package is built on top of libMVL, which can be used as a standalone C library. libMVL has simple C API making it easy to interchange datasets with outside programs. Large MVL datasets are distributed via Academic Torrents <https://academictorrents.com/collection/mvl-datasets>.

This package provides functions to fit Accurate Generalized Linear Model (AGLM) models, visualize them, and predict for new data. AGLM is defined as a regularized GLM which applies a sort of feature transformations using a discretization of numerical features and specific coding methodologies of dummy variables. For more information on AGLM, see Suguru Fujita, Toyoto Tanaka, Kenji Kondo and Hirokazu Iwasawa (2020) <https://www.institutdesactuaires.com/global/gene/link.php?doc_id=16273&fg=1>.

This package implements bound constrained optimal sample size allocation (BCOSSA) framework described in Bulus & Dong (2021) <doi:10.1080/00220973.2019.1636197> for power analysis of multilevel regression discontinuity designs (MRDDs) and multilevel randomized trials (MRTs) with continuous outcomes. Minimum detectable effect size (MDES) and power computations for MRDDs allow polynomial functional form specification for the score variable (with or without interaction with the treatment indicator). See Bulus (2021) <doi:10.1080/19345747.2021.1947425>.

Written to help undergraduate as well as graduate students to get started with R for basic econometrics without the need to import specific functions and datasets from many different sources. Primarily, the package is meant to accompany the German textbook Auer, L.v., Hoffmann, S., Kranz, T. (2024, ISBN: 978-3-662-68263-0) from which the exercises cover all the topics from the textbook Auer, L.v. (2023, ISBN: 978-3-658-42699-6).

This package implements a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to approximate exact conditional inference for logistic regression models. Exact conditional inference is based on the distribution of the sufficient statistics for the parameters of interest given the sufficient statistics for the remaining nuisance parameters. Using model formula notation, users specify a logistic model and model terms of interest for exact inference. See Zamar et al. (2007) <doi:10.18637/jss.v021.i03> for more details.

This package provides functions to compute the Generalized Dynamic Principal Components introduced in Peña and Yohai (2016) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2015.1072542>. The implementation includes an automatic procedure proposed in Peña, Smucler and Yohai (2020) <DOI:10.18637/jss.v092.c02> for the identification of both the number of lags to be used in the generalized dynamic principal components as well as the number of components required for a given reconstruction accuracy.

This package provides functions are provided for quantifying evolution and selection on complex traits. The package implements effective handling and analysis algorithms scaled for genome-wide data and calculates a composite statistic, denoted Ghat, which is used to test for selection on a trait.

Function for growing survival trees ensemble ('Naz Gul', Nosheen Faiz', Dan Brawn', Rafal Kulakowski', Zardad Khan', and Berthold Lausen (2020) <arXiv:2005.09043>) is given. The trees are grown by the method of random survival forest ('Marvin Wright', Andreas Ziegler (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>). The survival trees grown are assessed for both individual and collective performances. The ensemble can give promising results on fewer survival trees selected in the final ensemble.

The typicality and eccentricity data analysis (TEDA) framework was put forward by Angelov (2013) <DOI:10.14313/JAMRIS_2-2014/16>. It has been further developed into multiple different techniques since, and provides a non-parametric way of determining how similar an observation, from a process that is not purely random, is to other observations generated by the process. This package provides code to use the batch and recursive TEDA methods that have been published.
