Urban water and sanitation survey dataset collected by Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) with technical support from Valid International. These citywide surveys have been collecting data allowing water and sanitation service levels across the entire city to be characterised, while also allowing more detailed data to be collected in areas of the city of particular interest. These surveys are intended to generate useful information for others working in the water and sanitation sector. Current release version includes datasets collected from a survey conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh in March 2017. This survey in Dhaka is one of a series of surveys to be conducted by WSUP in various cities in which they operate including Accra, Ghana; Nakuru, Kenya; Antananarivo, Madagascar; Maputo, Mozambique; and, Lusaka, Zambia. This package will be updated once the surveys in other cities are completed and datasets have been made available.

Set of tools for manipulating gas exchange data from cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

Simulates the results of completed randomized controlled trials, as if they had been conducted as adaptive Multi-Arm Bandit (MAB) trials instead. Augmented inverse probability weighted estimation (AIPW), outlined by Hadad et al. (2021) <doi:10.1073/pnas.2014602118>, is used to robustly estimate the probability of success for each treatment arm under the adaptive design. Provides customization options to simulate perfect/imperfect information, stationary/non-stationary bandits, blocked treatment assignments, along with control augmentation, and other hybrid strategies for assigning treatment arms. The methods used in simulation were inspired by Offer-Westort et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/ajps.12597>.

This package provides a collection of functions related to novel methods for estimating R(t), created by the lab of Professor Laura White.

An R frontend for the WhiteboxTools library, which is an advanced geospatial data analysis platform developed by Prof. John Lindsay at the University of Guelph's Geomorphometry and Hydrogeomatics Research Group. WhiteboxTools can be used to perform common geographical information systems (GIS) analysis operations, such as cost-distance analysis, distance buffering, and raster reclassification. Remote sensing and image processing tasks include image enhancement (e.g. panchromatic sharpening, contrast adjustments), image mosaicing, numerous filtering operations, simple classification (k-means), and common image transformations. WhiteboxTools also contains advanced tooling for spatial hydrological analysis (e.g. flow-accumulation, watershed delineation, stream network analysis, sink removal), terrain analysis (e.g. common terrain indices such as slope, curvatures, wetness index, hillshading; hypsometric analysis; multi-scale topographic position analysis), and LiDAR data processing.

An R interface to the WebAIM WAVE accessibility evaluation API <https://wave.webaim.org/api/>. This package provides tools for analyzing web pages for accessibility issues, generating reports, and comparing accessibility across multiple websites.

Numerous time series admit autoregressive moving average (ARMA) representations, in which the errors are uncorrelated but not necessarily independent. These models are called weak ARMA by opposition to the standard ARMA models, also called strong ARMA models, in which the error terms are supposed to be independent and identically distributed (iid). This package allows the study of nonlinear time series models through weak ARMA representations. It determines identification, estimation and validation for ARMA models and for AR and MA models in particular. Functions can also be used in the strong case. This package also works on white noises by omitting arguments p', q', ar and ma'. See Francq, C. and Zakoïan, J. (1998) <doi:10.1016/S0378-3758(97)00139-0> and Boubacar Maïnassara, Y. and Saussereau, B. (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1380030> for more details.

This package provides a tool to fit and compare the wind turbine power curves with successful curve fitting techniques. Facilitates to examine and compare the performance of a user-defined power curve fitting techniques. Also, provide features to generate power curve discrete points from a graphical power curves. Data on the power curves of the wind turbine from major manufacturers are provided.

This package provides simple functions for accessing data from Wharton Research Data Services ('WRDS'), a widely used financial database in academic research. Includes credential management via the system keyring, database tools, and functions for downloading generic tables, Compustat fundamentals, and linking tables.

It proposes a novel variable selection approach in classification problem that takes into account the correlations that may exist between the predictors of the design matrix in a high-dimensional logistic model. Our approach consists in rewriting the initial high-dimensional logistic model to remove the correlation between the predictors and in applying the generalized Lasso criterion.

For a given Sentence-Aligned Parallel Corpus, it aligns words for each sentence pair. It considers one-to-many and symmetrization alignments. Moreover, it evaluates the quality of word alignment based on this package and some other software. It also builds an automatic dictionary of two languages based on given parallel corpus.

Heuristic methods to solve the routing problems in a warehouse management. Package includes several heuristics such as the Midpoint, Return, S-Shape and Semi-Optimal Heuristics for designation of the pickerâ s route in order picking. The heuristics aim to provide the acceptable travel distances while considering warehouse layout constraints such as aisles and shelves. It also includes implementation of the COPRAS (COmplex PRoportional ASsessment) method for supporting selection of locations to be visited by the picker in shared storage systems. The package is designed to facilitate more efficient warehouse routing and logistics operations. see: Bartholdi, J. J., Hackman, S. T. (2019). "WAREHOUSE & DISTRIBUTION SCIENCE. Release 0.98.1."

The Model Disability Survey (MDS) <https://www.who.int/activities/collection-of-data-on-disability> is a World Health Organization (WHO) general population survey instrument to assess the distribution of disability within a country or region, grounded in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health <https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/international-classification-of-functioning-disability-and-health>. This package provides fit-for-purpose functions for calculating and presenting the results from this survey, as used by the WHO. The package primarily provides functions for implementing Rasch Analysis (see Andrich (2011) <doi:10.1586/erp.11.59>) to calculate a metric scale for disability.

This package performs an analysis of time-to-event clinical trial data using various "win time" methods, including ewt', ewtr', rmt', ewtp', rewtp', ewtpr', rewtpr', max', wtr', rwtr', pwt', and rpwt'. These methods are used to calculate and compare treatment effects on ordered composite endpoints. The package handles event times, event indicators, and treatment arm indicators and supports calculations on observed and resampled data. Detailed explanations of each method and usage examples are provided in "Use of win time for ordered composite endpoints in clinical trials," by Troendle et al. (2024)<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38417455/>. For more information, see the package documentation or the vignette titled "Introduction to wintime.".

This package provides a collection of functions to perform the Application Programming Interface (API) calls associated with the Walk Score website (www.walkscore.com) within the R environment. These functions can be used to query the Walk Score and Transit Score database for a wide variety of information using R scripts. This package includes the simple Walk Score and Transit Score API calls, which return the scores associated with an input location, as well as calls which return some data used to calculate the scores. These functions are especially useful for mass data collection and gathering Walk Score and Transit Score values for large lists of locations.

This package provides functions for subject/instance weighted support vector machines (SVM). It uses a modified version of libsvm and is compatible with package e1071'. It also allows user defined kernel matrix.
