Represent biomedical dataset structure as typed dependency graphs so that sample provenance, repeated-measure structure, study design, batch effects, and temporal relationships are explicit and inspectable. Validates dataset structure, detects sample-level overlap, derives deterministic split constraints, and produces a tool-agnostic split specification for leakage-aware evaluation workflows.

Improves the interpretation of the Standardized Precipitation Index under changing climate conditions. The package uses the nonstationary approach proposed in Blain et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/joc.7550> to detect trends in rainfall quantities and to quantify the effect of such trends on the probability of a drought event occurring.

Supports survey-weighted models ('svyglm', svycoxph') from the survey package, interaction terms, and provides hazard ratio plots with histograms for survival analysis. Wood (2017, ISBN:9781498728331) provides comprehensive methodology for generalized additive models.

spatialFDA is a package to calculate spatial statistics metrics. The package takes a SpatialExperiment object and calculates spatial statistics metrics using the package spatstat. Then it compares the resulting functions across samples/conditions using functional additive models as implemented in the package refund. Furthermore, it provides exploratory visualisations using functional principal component analysis, as well implemented in refund.

Estimates split-half reliabilities for scoring algorithms of cognitive tasks and questionnaires. The splithalfr supports researcher-provided scoring algorithms, with six vignettes illustrating how on included datasets. The package provides four splitting methods (first-second, odd-even, permutated, Monte Carlo), the option to stratify splits by task design, a number of reliability coefficients, the option to sub-sample data, and bootstrapped confidence intervals.

Calculate Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) for spatial data. The algorithm is inspired by the tool Heatmap from QGIS'. The method is described by: Hart, T., Zandbergen, P. (2014) <doi:10.1108/PIJPSM-04-2013-0039>, Nelson, T. A., Boots, B. (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.0906-7590.2008.05548.x>, Chainey, S., Tompson, L., Uhlig, S.(2008) <doi:10.1057/palgrave.sj.8350066>.

Bindings for the SparseDiffEngine C library, the sparse Jacobian and Hessian differentiation backend used by CVXPY for its Disciplined Nonlinear Programming (DNLP) extension. Provides low-level routines for building nonlinear expression graphs and evaluating sparse derivatives, intended as a backend for higher-level modeling layers such as CVXR'. This is the R analog of the sparsediffpy Python package and wraps the same C library.

Label, recode, rename, and convert datasets and ASCII files more efficiently. speedycode automates the code necessary for labeling variables with the labelled package, recoding and renaming variables with dplyr syntax, and converting ASCII files with the readroper package. Most functions require only the name of the dataset and the code will be automatically written. Some convenience functions useful for converting ASCII files are also included.

Davis (2016) <https://fossies.org/linux/SuiteSparse/LDL/Doc/ldl_userguide.pdf>. Provides a set of C++ classes for basic sparse matrix specification and linear algebra, and a class to implement sparse LDL decomposition and solvers. See <https://github.com/samuel-watson/SparseChol> for details.

Fast, lightweight toolkit for data splitting. Data sets can be partitioned into disjoint groups (e.g. into training, validation, and test) or into (repeated) k-folds for subsequent cross-validation. Besides basic splits, the package supports stratified, grouped as well as blocked splitting. Furthermore, cross-validation folds for time series data can be created. See e.g. Hastie et al. (2001) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-84858-7> for the basic background on data partitioning and cross-validation.

This package provides functions for fitting, forecasting, and early detection of outbreaks in sparse surveillance count time series. Supports negative binomial (NB), self-exciting NB, generalise autoregressive moving average (GARMA) NB , zero-inflated NB (ZINB), self-exciting ZINB, generalise autoregressive moving average ZINB, and hurdle formulations. Climatic and environmental covariates can be included in the regression component and/or the zero-modified components. Includes outbreak-detection algorithms for NB, ZINB, and hurdle models, with utilities for prediction and diagnostics.

An implementation of split-population duration regression models. Unlike regular duration models, split-population duration models are mixture models that accommodate the presence of a sub-population that is not at risk for failure, e.g. cancer patients who have been cured by treatment. This package implements Weibull and Loglogistic forms for the duration component, and focuses on data with time-varying covariates. These models were originally formulated in Boag (1949) and Berkson and Gage (1952), and extended in Schmidt and Witte (1989).

Spatial versions of Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDDs) are becoming increasingly popular as tools for causal inference. However, conducting state-of-the-art analyses often involves tedious and time-consuming steps. This package offers comprehensive functionalities for executing all required spatial and econometric tasks in a streamlined manner. Moreover, it equips researchers with tools for performing essential placebo and balancing checks comprehensively. The fact that researchers do not have to rely on APIs of external GIS software ensures replicability and raises the standard for spatial RDDs.

This is an implementation of the algorithm described in Section 3 of Hosszejni and Frühwirth-Schnatter (2026) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2025.105536>. The algorithm is used to verify that the counting rule CR(r,1) holds for the sparsity pattern of the transpose of a factor loading matrix. As detailed in Section 2 of the same paper, if CR(r,1) holds, then the idiosyncratic variances are generically identified. If CR(r,1) does not hold, then we do not know whether the idiosyncratic variances are identified or not.

This package provides a spatial population can be generated based on spatially varying regression model under the assumption that observations are collected from a uniform two-dimensional grid consist of (m * m) lattice points with unit distance between any two neighbouring points. For method details see Chao, Liu., Chuanhua, Wei. and Yunan, Su. (2018).<DOI:10.1080/10485252.2018.1499907>. This spatially generated data can be used to test different issues related to the statistical analysis of spatial data. This generated spatial data can be utilized in geographically weighted regression analysis for studying the spatially varying relationships among the variables.
