This is an evolving and growing collection of tools for the quantification, assessment, and comparison of shape and pattern. This collection provides tools for: (1) the spatial decomposition of planar shapes using ShrinkShape to incrementally shrink shapes to extinction while computing area, perimeter, and number of parts at each iteration of shrinking; the spectra of results are returned in graphic and tabular formats (Remmel 2015) <doi:10.1111/cag.12222>, (2) simulating landscape patterns, (3) provision of tools for estimating composition and configuration parameters from a categorical (binary) landscape map (grid) and then simulates a selected number of statistically similar landscapes. Class-focused pattern metrics are computed for each simulated map to produce empirical distributions against which statistical comparisons can be made. The code permits the analysis of single maps or pairs of maps (Remmel and Fortin 2013) <doi:10.1007/s10980-013-9905-x>, (4) counting the number of each first-order pattern element and converting that information into both frequency and empirical probability vectors (Remmel 2020) <doi:10.3390/e22040420>, and (5) computing the porosity of raster patches <doi:10.3390/su10103413>. NOTE: This is a consolidation of existing packages ('PatternClass', ShapePattern') to begin warehousing all shape and pattern code in a common package. Additional utility tools for handling data are provided and this package will be added to as more tools are created, cleaned-up, and documented. Note that all future developments will appear in this package and that PatternClass will eventually be archived.

This package provides functions to calculate step- and cadence-based metrics from timestamped accelerometer and wearable device data. Supports CSV and AGD files from ActiGraph devices, CSV files from Fitbit devices, and step counts derived with R package GGIR <https://github.com/wadpac/GGIR>, with automatic handling of epoch lengths from 1 to 60 seconds. Metrics include total steps, cadence peaks, minutes and steps in predefined cadence bands, and time and steps in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods and thresholds are informed by the literature, e.g., Tudor-Locke and Rowe (2012) <doi:10.2165/11599170-000000000-00000>, Barreira et al. (2012) <doi:10.1249/MSS.0b013e318254f2a3>, and Tudor-Locke et al. (2018) <doi:10.1136/bjsports-2017-097628>. The package record is also available on Zenodo (2023) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.7858094>.

Reference data sets of species sensitivities to compare the results of fitting species sensitivity distributions using software such as ssdtools and Burrlioz'. It consists of curated data sets for individual chemicals from Australian, New Zealand and Canadian organizations, several data sets from anonymous sources, and larger uncurated compilations drawn from the ANZTOX, WQBench and EnviroTox databases. It also includes a data set of the results of fitting various distributions using different software.

An R implementation of the Self-Organising Migrating Algorithm, a general-purpose, stochastic optimisation algorithm. The approach is similar to that of genetic algorithms, although it is based on the idea of a series of "migrations" by a fixed set of individuals, rather than the development of successive generations. It can be applied to any cost-minimisation problem with a bounded parameter space, and is robust to local minima.

This package performs two-sample comparisons using the restricted mean survival time (RMST) as a summary measure of the survival time distribution. Three kinds of between-group contrast metrics (i.e., the difference in RMST, the ratio of RMST and the ratio of the restricted mean time lost (RMTL)) are computed. It performs an ANCOVA-type covariate adjustment as well as unadjusted analyses for those measures.

This package provides methods for the analysis of signed networks. This includes several measures for structural balance as introduced by Cartwright and Harary (1956) <doi:10.1037/h0046049>, blockmodeling algorithms from Doreian (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2008.03.005>, various centrality indices, and projections of signed two-mode networks introduced by Schoch (2020) <doi:10.1080/0022250X.2019.1711376>.

This package implements a segmentation algorithm for multiple change-point detection in high-dimensional GARCH processes. It simultaneously segments GARCH processes by identifying common change-points, each of which can be shared by a subset or all of the component time series as a change-point in their within-series and/or cross-sectional correlation structure.

Utility functions for scale-dependent and alternative hyperpriors. The distribution parameters may capture location, scale, shape, etc. and every parameter may depend on complex additive terms (fixed, random, smooth, spatial, etc.) similar to a generalized additive model. Hyperpriors for all effects can be elicitated within the package. Including complex tensor product interaction terms and variable selection priors. The basic model is explained in in Klein and Kneib (2016) <doi:10.1214/15-BA983>.

This package provides a framework for performing discrete (share-level) simulations of investment strategies. Simulated portfolios optimize exposure to an input signal subject to constraints such as position size and factor exposure. For background see L. Chincarini and D. Kim (2010, ISBN:978-0-07-145939-6) "Quantitative Equity Portfolio Management".

This package contains tests for association between a set of genetic variants and multiple correlated outcomes that are interval censored. Interval-censored data arises when the exact time of the onset of an outcome of interest is unknown but known to fall between two time points.

Non-parametric test, originally proposed by Stute (1997) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2242560>, that the expectation of a dependent variable Y given an independent variable D is linear in D.

This package provides a pipeline-friendly toolkit for assembling stop motion animations from sequences of still images. Provides functions to read image directories, restructure frame sequences (duplicate, splice, arrange), apply per-frame pixel transformations (rotate, wiggle, flip, flop, blur, scale, crop, trim, border, background), and export the result as a GIF. All transformation functions accept a frames argument to target any subset of frames, bridging the gap between magick functions that operate on an entire image stack and fine-grained stop motion editing. Image processing is performed via ImageMagick Studio LLC (2024) <https://imagemagick.org>.

Simulate event history data from a framework where treatment decisions and disease progression are represented as counting process. The user can specify number of events and parameters of intensities thereby creating a flexible simulation framework.

Fits linear difference-in-differences models in scenarios where intervention roll-outs are staggered over time. The package implements a version of an approach proposed by Sun and Abraham (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.09.006> to estimate cohort- and time-since-treatment specific difference-in-differences parameters, and it provides convenience functions both for specifying the model and for flexibly aggregating coefficients to answer a variety of research questions.

Likelihood evaluations for stationary Gaussian time series are typically obtained via the Durbin-Levinson algorithm, which scales as O(n^2) in the number of time series observations. This package provides a "superfast" O(n log^2 n) algorithm written in C++, crossing over with Durbin-Levinson around n = 300. Efficient implementations of the score and Hessian functions are also provided, leading to superfast versions of inference algorithms such as Newton-Raphson and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. The C++ code provides a Toeplitz matrix class packaged as a header-only library, to simplify low-level usage in other packages and outside of R.
