Suite of functions to study animal incubation. At the core of incR
lies an algorithm that allows for the scoring of incubation behaviour. Additionally, several functions extract biologically relevant metrics of incubation such as off-bout number and off-bout duration - for a review of avian incubation studies, see Nests, Eggs, and Incubation: New ideas about avian reproduction (2015) edited by D. Charles Deeming and S. James Reynolds <doi:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198718666.001.0001>.

This package implements the MRPC (PC with the principle of Mendelian randomization) algorithm to infer causal graphs. It also contains functions to simulate data under a certain topology, to visualize a graph in different ways, and to compare graphs and quantify the differences. See Badsha and Fu (2019) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2019.00460>,Badsha, Martin and Fu (2021) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2021.651812>.
The word Meme was originated from the book, The Selfish Gene', authored by Richard Dawkins (1976). It is a unit of culture that is passed from one generation to another and correlates to the gene, the unit of physical heredity. The internet memes are captioned photos that are intended to be funny, ridiculous. Memes behave like infectious viruses and travel from person to person quickly through social media. The meme package allows users to make custom memes.

and mcm.mvt()
give P-value by using randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method with pmvt()
function of package mvtnorm', and mmcm.resamp()
gives P-value by using a permutation method.
This package implements the Quantitative Classification-based on Association Rules (QCBA) algorithm (<doi:10.1007/s10489-022-04370-x>). QCBA postprocesses rule classification models making them typically smaller and in some cases more accurate. Supported are CBA implementations from rCBA
', arulesCBA
and arc packages, and CPAR', CMAR', FOIL2 and PRM implementations from arulesCBA
package and SBRL implementation from the sbrl package. The result of the post-processing is an ordered CBA-like rule list.
This package provides a coalescent simulator that allows the rapid simulation of biological sequences under neutral models of evolution, see Staab et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu861>. Different to other coalescent based simulations, it has an optional approximation parameter that allows for high accuracy while maintaining a linear run time cost for long sequences. It is optimized for simulating massive data sets as produced by Next- Generation Sequencing technologies for up to several thousand sequences.

This package implements the TRUH test statistic for two sample testing under heterogeneity. TRUH incorporates the underlying heterogeneity and imbalance in the samples, and provides a conservative test for the composite null hypothesis that the two samples arise from the same mixture distribution but may differ with respect to the mixing weights. See Trambak Banerjee, Bhaswar B. Bhattacharya, Gourab Mukherjee Ann. Appl. Stat. 14(4): 1777-1805 (December 2020). <DOI:10.1214/20-AOAS1362> for more details.
Calculates the robust Taba linear, Taba rank (monotonic), TabWil
, and TabWil
rank correlations. Test statistics as well as one sided or two sided p-values are provided for all correlations. Multiple correlations and p-values can be calculated simultaneously across multiple variables. In addition, users will have the option to use the partial, semipartial, and generalized partial correlations; where the partial and semipartial correlations use linear, logistic, or Poisson regression to modify the specified variable.
Wrap-around Time Series (WATS) plots for interrupted time series designs with seasonal patterns. Longitudinal trajectories are shown in both Cartesian and polar coordinates. In many scenarios, a WATS plot more clearly shows the existence and effect size of of an intervention. This package accompanies "Graphical Data Analysis on the Circle: Wrap-Around Time Series Plots for (Interrupted) Time Series Designs" by Rodgers, Beasley, & Schuelke (2014) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2014.946589>; see citation("Wats") for details.
Statistical tools for ChIP-seq
data analysis. The package includes the statistical method described in Kaufmann et al. (2009) PLoS
Biology: 7(4):e1000090. Briefly, Taking the average DNA fragment size subjected to sequencing into account, the software calculates genomic single-nucleotide read-enrichment values. After normalization, sample and control are compared using a test based on the Poisson distribution. Test statistic thresholds to control the false discovery rate are obtained through random permutation.
Functions, data sets and examples for the calculation of various indices of biodiversity including species, functional and phylogenetic diversity. Part of the indices are expressed in terms of equivalent numbers of species. The package also provides ways to partition biodiversity across spatial or temporal scales (alpha, beta, gamma diversities). In addition to the quantification of biodiversity, ordination approaches are available which rely on diversity indices and allow the detailed identification of species, functional or phylogenetic differences between communities.

Fit latent variable linear models, estimating score distributions for groups of people, following Cohen and Jiang (1999) <doi:10.2307/2669917>. In this model, a latent distribution is conditional on students item response, item characteristics, and conditioning variables the user includes. This latent trait is then integrated out. This software is intended to fit the same models as the existing software AM <https://am.air.org/>. As of version 2, also allows the user to draw plausible values.
Simulates and estimates the Exponential Random Partition Model presented in the paper Hoffman, Block, and Snijders (2023) <doi:10.1177/00811750221145166>. It can also be used to estimate longitudinal partitions, following the model proposed in Hoffman and Chabot (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2023.04.002>. The model is an exponential family distribution on the space of partitions (sets of non-overlapping groups) and is called in reference to the Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM) for networks.

Conjoint measurement is a psychophysical procedure in which stimulus pairs are presented that vary along 2 or more dimensions and the observer is required to compare the stimuli along one of them. This package contains functions to estimate the contribution of the n scales to the judgment by a maximum likelihood method under several hypotheses of how the perceptual dimensions interact.

This package provides tools for working with nonlinear least squares problems. For the estimation of models reliable and robust tools than nls()
, where the the Gauss-Newton method frequently stops with singular gradient messages. This is accomplished by using, where possible, analytic derivatives to compute the matrix of derivatives and a stabilization of the solution of the estimation equations. Tools for approximate or externally supplied derivative matrices are included. Bounds and masks on parameters are handled properly.
Conduct penalized meta-analysis, see Van Lissa, Van Erp, & Clapper (2023) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/6phs5>. In meta-analysis, there are often between-study differences. These can be coded as moderator variables, and controlled for using meta-regression. However, if the number of moderators is large relative to the number of studies, such an analysis may be overfit. Penalized meta-regression is useful in these cases, because it shrinks the regression slopes of irrelevant moderators towards zero.
