Builds and optimizes Hopfield artificial neural networks (Hopfield, 1982, <doi:10.1073/pnas.79.8.2554>). One-layer and three-layer models are implemented. The energy of the Hopfield network is minimized with formula from Krotov and Hopfield (2016, <doi:10.48550/ARXIV.1606.01164>). Optimization (supervised learning) is done through a gradient-based method. Classification is done with S3 methods predict(). Parallelization with OpenMP is used if available during compilation.

The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) is the key economic figure to measure inflation in the euro area. The methodology underlying the HICP is documented in the HICP Methodological Manual (<https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-manuals-and-guidelines/w/ks-gq-24-003>). Based on the manual, this package provides functions to access and work with HICP data from Eurostat's public database (<https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database>).

The qda() function from package MASS is extended to calculate a weighted linear (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) by changing the group variances and group means based on cell-wise uncertainties. The uncertainties can be derived e.g. through relative errors for each individual measurement (cell), not only row-wise or column-wise uncertainties. The method can be applied compositional data (e.g. portions of substances, concentrations) and non-compositional data.

This package provides a multivariate weather generator for daily climate variables based on weather-states (Flecher et al. (2010) <doi:10.1029/2009WR008098>). It uses a Markov chain for modeling the succession of weather states. Conditionally to the weather states, the multivariate variables are modeled using the family of Complete Skew-Normal distributions. Parameters are estimated on measured series. Must include the variable Rain and can accept as many other variables as desired.

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.

Uncertainty quantification and inverse estimation by probabilistic generative models from the beginning of the data analysis. An example is a Fourier basis method for inverse estimation in scattering analysis of microscopy videos. It does not require specifying a certain range of Fourier bases and it substantially reduces computational cost via the generalized Schur algorithm. See the reference: Mengyang Gu, Yue He, Xubo Liu and Yimin Luo (2023), <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2309.02468>.

Additional (free) fonts may be needed: Metropolis prefers Fira', and IQSS requires Libertinus'.

Compute the fixed effects dynamic panel threshold model suggested by Ramà rez-Rondán (2020) <doi:10.1080/07474938.2019.1624401>, and dynamic panel linear model suggested by Hsiao et al. (2002) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(01)00143-9>, where maximum likelihood type estimators are used. Multiple thresholds estimation based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is allowed, and model selection of linear model, threshold model and multiple threshold model is also allowed.

This package implements an explicit exploration strategy for evolutionary algorithms in order to have a more effective search in solving optimization problems. Along with this exploration search strategy, a set of four different Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are also implemented for solving optimization problems in continuous domains. The implemented explicit exploration strategy in this package is described in Salinas-Gutiérrez and Muñoz Zavala (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.asoc.2023.110230>.

This package provides methods and tools for the analysis of Genome Wide Identity-by-Descent ('gwid') mapping data, focusing on testing whether there is a higher occurrence of Identity-By-Descent (IBD) segments around potential causal variants in cases compared to controls, which is crucial for identifying rare variants. To enhance its analytical power, gwid incorporates a Sliding Window Approach, allowing for the detection and analysis of signals from multiple Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs).

Penalized regression for generalized linear models for measurement error problems (aka. errors-in-variables). The package contains a version of the lasso (L1-penalization) which corrects for measurement error (Sorensen et al. (2015) <doi:10.5705/ss.2013.180>). It also contains an implementation of the Generalized Matrix Uncertainty Selector, which is a version the (Generalized) Dantzig Selector for the case of measurement error (Sorensen et al. (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1425626>).

The Iterative Cumulative Sum of Squares (ICSS) algorithm by Inclan/Tiao (1994) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2290916> detects multiple change points, i.e. structural break points, in the variance of a sequence of independent observations. For series of moderate size (i.e. 200 observations and beyond), the ICSS algorithm offers results comparable to those obtained by a Bayesian approach or by likelihood ration tests, without the heavy computational burden required by these approaches.

We connect the multi-class Neyman-Pearson classification (NP) problem to the cost-sensitive learning (CS) problem, and propose two algorithms (NPMC-CX and NPMC-ER) to solve the multi-class NP problem through cost-sensitive learning tools. Under certain conditions, the two algorithms are shown to satisfy multi-class NP properties. More details are available in the paper "Neyman-Pearson Multi-class Classification via Cost-sensitive Learning" (Ye Tian and Yang Feng, 2021).

This package provides functions to access and download data from various NASA APIs <https://api.nasa.gov/#browseAPI>, including: Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), Mars Rover Photos, Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), Near Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker (EONET), and NASA Earthdata CMR Search. Most endpoints require a NASA API key for access. Data is retrieved, cleaned for analysis, and returned in a dataframe-friendly format.

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>.

rifi analyses data from rifampicin time series created by microarray or RNAseq. rifi is a transcriptome data analysis tool for the holistic identification of transcription and decay associated processes. The decay constants and the delay of the onset of decay is fitted for each probe/bin. Subsequently, probes/bins of equal properties are combined into segments by dynamic programming, independent of a existing genome annotation. This allows to detect transcript segments of different stability or transcriptional events within one annotated gene. In addition to the classic decay constant/half-life analysis, rifi detects processing sites, transcription pausing sites, internal transcription start sites in operons, sites of partial transcription termination in operons, identifies areas of likely transcriptional interference by the collision mechanism and gives an estimate of the transcription velocity. All data are integrated to give an estimate of continous transcriptional units, i.e. operons. Comprehensive output tables and visualizations of the full genome result and the individual fits for all probes/bins are produced.

This package provides functions for the analysis of income distributions for subgroups of the population as defined by a set of variables like age, gender, region, etc. This entails a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for a mixture distribution as well as functions for moments, inequality measures, entropy measures and polarisation measures of income distributions. This package thus aides the analysis of income inequality by offering tools for the exploratory analysis of income distributions at the disaggregated level.
