Calculates the minimal sample size for the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test that is needed for a given power and two sided type I error rate. The method works for metric data with and without ties, count data, ordered categorical data, and even dichotomous data. But data is needed for the reference group to generate synthetic data for the treatment group based on a relevant effect. See Happ et al. (2019, <doi:10.1002/sim.7983>) for details.

Calculate the win ratio for prioritized outcomes and the 95% confidence interval based on Bebu and Lachin (2016) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxv032>. Three type of outcomes can be analyzed: survival "failure-time" events, repeated survival "failure-time" events and continuous or ordinal "non-failure time" events that are captured at specific time-points in the study.

The weighted ensemble method is a valuable approach for combining forecasts. This algorithm employs several optimization techniques to generate optimized weights. This package has been developed using algorithm of Armstrong (1989) <doi:10.1016/0024-6301(90)90317-W>.

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.

This method generates a tour path by interpolating between d-D frames in p-D using Givens rotations. The algorithm arises from the problem of zeroing elements of a matrix. This interpolation method is useful for showing specific d-D frames in the tour, as opposed to d-D planes, as done by the geodesic interpolation. It is useful for projection pursuit indexes which are not s invariant. See more details in Buj, Cook, Asimov and Hurley (2005) <doi:10.1016/S0169-7161(04)24014-7> and Batsaikhan, Cook and Laa (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2311.08181>.

Within-subject mediation analysis using structural equation modeling. Examine how changes in an outcome variable between two conditions are mediated through one or more variables. Supports within-subject mediation analysis using the lavaan package by Rosseel (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02>, and extends Monte Carlo confidence interval estimation to missing data scenarios using the semmcci package by Pesigan and Cheung (2023) <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02114-4>.

Estimates the standard and weighted Elo (WElo, Angelini et al., 2022 <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2021.04.011>) rates. The current version provides Elo and WElo rates for tennis, according to different systems of weights (games or sets) and scale factors (constant, proportional to the number of matches, with more weight on Grand Slam matches or matches played on a specific surface). Moreover, the package gives the possibility of estimating the (bootstrap) standard errors for the rates. Finally, the package includes betting functions that automatically select the matches on which place a bet.

Mixed effects modeling with warping for functional data using B- spline. Warping coefficients are considered as random effects, and warping functions are general functions, parameters representing the projection onto B- spline basis of a part of the warping functions. Warped data are modelled by a linear mixed effect functional model, the noise is Gaussian and independent from the warping functions.

This package provides a set of functions to make tracking the hidden movements of the Jack player easier. By tracking every possible path Jack might have traveled from the point of the initial murder including special movement such as through alleyways and via carriages, the police can more accurately narrow the field of their search. Additionally, by tracking all possible hideouts from round to round, rounds 3 and 4 should have a vastly reduced field of search.

An implementation of representation-dependent gene level operations for genetic algorithms with genes representing permutations: Initialization of genes, mutation, and crossover. The crossover operation provided is position-based crossover (Syswerda, G., Chap. 21 in Davis, L. (1991, ISBN:0-442-00173-8). For mutation, several variants are included: Order-based mutation (Syswerda, G., Chap. 21 in Davis, L. (1991, ISBN:0-442-00173-8), randomized Lin-Kernighan heuristics (Croes, G. A. (1958) <doi:10.1287/opre.6.6.791> and Lin, S. and Kernighan. B. W. (1973) <doi:10.1287/opre.21.2.498>), and randomized greedy operators. A random mix operator for mutation selects a mutation variant randomly.

Fits relative survival regression models with or without proportional excess hazards and with the additional possibility to correct for background mortality by one or more parameter(s). These models are relevant when the observed mortality in the studied group is not comparable to that of the general population or in population-based studies where the available life tables used for net survival estimation are insufficiently stratified. In the latter case, the proposed model by Touraine et al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280218823234> can be used. The user can also fit a model that relaxes the proportional expected hazards assumption considered in the Touraine et al. excess hazard model. This extension was proposed by Mba et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12874-020-01139-z> to allow non-proportional effects of the additional variable on the general population mortality. In non-population-based studies, researchers can identify non-comparability source of bias in terms of expected mortality of selected individuals. An excess hazard model correcting this selection bias is presented in Goungounga et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s12874-019-0747-3>. This class of model with a random effect at the cluster level on excess hazard is presented in Goungounga et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/bimj.202100210>.

Institutional performance assessment remains a key challenge to a multitude of stakeholders. Existing indicators such as h-type indicators, g-type indicators, and many others do not reflect expertise of institutions that defines their research portfolio. The package offers functionality to compute and visualise two novel indices: the x-index and the xd-index. The x-index evaluates an institution's scholarly expertise within a specific discipline or field, while the xd-index provides a broader assessment of overall scholarly expertise considering an institution's publication pattern and strengths across coarse thematic areas. These indices offer a nuanced understanding of institutional research capabilities, aiding stakeholders in research management and resource allocation decisions. Lathabai, H.H., Nandy, A., and Singh, V.K. (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11192-021-04188-3>. Nandy, A., Lathabai, H.H., and Singh, V.K. (2023) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.8305585>. This package provides the h-, g-, x-, xd-indices, and their variants for use with standard format of Web of Science (WoS) scrapped datasets.

Translates a BNF (Backus-Naur Form) specification of a context-free language into an R grammar object which consists of the start symbol, the symbol table, the production table, and a short production table. The short production table is non-recursive. The grammar object contains the file name from which it was generated (without a path). In addition, it provides functions to determine the type of a symbol (isTerminal() and isNonterminal()) and functions to access the production table (rules() and derives()). For the BNF specification, see Backus, John et al. (1962) "Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language ALGOL 60". (ALGOL60 standards page <http://www.algol60.org/2standards.htm>, html-edition <https://www.masswerk.at/algol60/report.htm>) A preprocessor for macros which expand to standard BNF is included. The grammar compiler is an extension of the APL2 implementation in Geyer-Schulz, Andreas (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X).

This package provides a fast and elegant interface for generating XML fragments and documents. It can be used in companion with R packages XML or xml2 to generate XML documents. The fast XML generation is implemented using the Rcpp package.

See Goldberg, D. E. (1989, ISBN:0-201-15767-5). For crossover operators, see Syswerda, G. (1989, ISBN:1-55860-066-3), Spears, W. and De Jong, K. (1991, ISBN:1-55860-208-9). For mutation operators, see Stanhope, S. A. and Daida, J. M. (1996, ISBN:0-18-201-031-7). For xega''s architecture, see Geyer-Schulz, A. (2025) <doi:10.5445/IR/1000187255>.

Derivation tree operations are needed for implementing grammar-based genetic programming and grammatical evolution: Generating a random derivation trees of a context-free grammar of bounded depth, decoding a derivation tree, choosing a random node in a derivation tree, extracting a tree whose root is a specified node, and inserting a subtree into a derivation tree at a specified node. These operations are necessary for the initialization and for decoders of a random population of programs, as well as for implementing crossover and mutation operators. Depth-bounds are guaranteed by switching to a grammar without recursive production rules. For executing the examples, the package BNF is needed. The basic tree operations for generating, extracting, and inserting derivation trees as well as the conditions for guaranteeing complete derivation trees have been presented in Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X). The use of random integer vectors for the generation of derivation trees has been introduced in Ryan, C., Collins, J. J., and O'Neill, M. (1998) <doi:10.1007/BFb0055930> for grammatical evolution.
