Efficient variational inference methods for fully Bayesian univariate and multivariate Gaussian and t-process regression models. Hierarchical shrinkage priors, including the triple gamma prior, are used for effective variable selection and covariance shrinkage in high-dimensional settings. The package leverages normalizing flows to approximate complex posterior distributions. For details on implementation, see Knaus (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.13173>.

Discovery of spatial patterns with Hidden Markov Random Field. This package is designed for spatial transcriptomic data and single molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) data such as sequential fluorescence in situ hybridization (seqFISH) and multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH). The methods implemented in this package are described in Zhu et al. (2018) <doi:10.1038/nbt.4260>.

This package provides a widget for shiny apps to handle schedule expression input, using the cron-expression-input JavaScript component. Note that this does not edit the crontab file, it is just an input element for the schedules. See <https://github.com/DatalabFabriek/shinycroneditor/blob/main/inst/examples/shiny-app.R> for an example implementation.

Plots survival models from the survival package. Additionally, it plots curves of multistate models from the mstate package. Typically, a plot is drawn by the sequence survplot(), confIntArea(), survCurve() and nrAtRisk(). The separation of the plot in this 4 functions allows for great flexibility to make a custom plot for publication.

The Scott-Knott Effect Size Difference (ESD) test is a mean comparison approach that leverages a hierarchical clustering to partition the set of treatment means (e.g., means of variable importance scores, means of model performance) into statistically distinct groups with non-negligible difference [Tantithamthavorn et al., (2018) <doi:10.1109/TSE.2018.2794977>].

This package provides exact analytical algorithms for computing optimum sample allocations in stratified sampling. Supports classical Neyman-Tschuprow allocation, minimum-cost allocation under a variance constraint, and multi-domain allocation with controlled precision. Handles lower and upper bounds, cost constraints, and multiple domains. Includes helper functions for variance computation, allocation summaries, rounding, and example datasets for testing and benchmarking.

Performance analysis workflow that combines the power of the R language (and the tidyverse realm) and many auxiliary tools to provide a consistent, flexible, extensible, fast, and versatile framework for the performance analysis of task-based applications that run on top of the StarPU runtime (with its MPI (Message Passing Interface) layer for multi-node support). Its goal is to provide a fruitful prototypical environment to conduct performance analysis hypothesis-checking for task-based applications that run on heterogeneous (multi-GPU, multi-core) multi-node HPC (High-performance computing) platforms.

Functionality for spatio-temporal modeling of large data sets is provided. A Gaussian process in space and time is defined through a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE). The SPDE is solved in the spectral space, and after discretizing in time and space, a linear Gaussian state space model is obtained. When doing inference, the main computational difficulty consists in evaluating the likelihood and in sampling from the full conditional of the spectral coefficients, or equivalently, the latent space-time process. In comparison to the traditional approach of using a spatio-temporal covariance function, the spectral SPDE approach is computationally advantageous. See Sigrist, Kuensch, and Stahel (2015) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12061> for more information on the methodology. This package aims at providing tools for two different modeling approaches. First, the SPDE based spatio-temporal model can be used as a component in a customized hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM). The functions of the package then provide parameterizations of the process part of the model as well as computationally efficient algorithms needed for doing inference with the HBM. Alternatively, the adaptive MCMC algorithm implemented in the package can be used as an algorithm for doing inference without any additional modeling. The MCMC algorithm supports data that follow a Gaussian or a censored distribution with point mass at zero. Covariates can be included in the model through a regression term.

This package provides tools to help tag and validate data according to user-specified rules. The safeframe class adds variable level attributes to data.frame columns. Once tagged, these variables can be seamlessly used in downstream analyses, making data pipelines clearer, more robust, and more reliable.

This package implements sparse-smooth spatially varying coefficient quantile regression (SS-SVCQR), combining quantile regression of Koenker and Bassett (1978) <doi:10.2307/1913643>, grouped variable selection of Yuan and Lin (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00532.x>, graph regularization, and the alternating direction method of multipliers of Boyd et al. (2011) <doi:10.1561/2200000016>. The package provides graph-regularized estimation, spatially blocked cross-validation, prediction, diagnostics, and simulation helpers for global-local spatial quantile regression.

This package provides computational building blocks for fixed-radius spatial aggregation, weighted circle-placement problems, hotspot detection, and polygon-based spatial summaries. The package focuses on efficient determination of the sum of observations within a given radius, identifying areas of high local concentration, and aggregating point data to polygon geometries. These methods are useful for applications such as insurance, urban analytics, environmental exposure analysis, and other spatial point pattern workflows. The fixed-radius circle placement problem is discussed by Chazelle and Lee (1986) <doi:10.1007/BF02238188>, and related maximum covering problems are described by Church (1974) <doi:10.1007/BF01942293>.

Sample size requirements calculation using three different Bayesian criteria in the context of designing an experiment to estimate the difference between two binomial proportions. Functions for calculation of required sample sizes for the Average Length Criterion, the Average Coverage Criterion and the Worst Outcome Criterion in the context of binomial observations are provided. In all cases, estimation of the difference between two binomial proportions is considered. Functions for both the fully Bayesian and the mixed Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided. For reference see Joseph L., du Berger R. and Bélisle P. (1997) <doi:10.1002/(sici)1097-0258(19970415)16:7%3C769::aid-sim495%3E3.0.co;2-v>.

Search for variables across multiple survey datasets, examine variable properties (labels, values, missingness), and explore variable context within datasets. Useful for navigating complex survey data with many variables and understanding variable relationships and metadata.

This package provides functions related to multivariate measures of independence and ICA: -estimate independent components by minimizing distance covariance; -conduct a test of mutual independence based on distance covariance; -estimate independent components via infomax (a popular method but generally performs poorer than mdcovica, ProDenICA, and/or fastICA, but is useful for comparisons); -order indepedent components by skewness; -match independent components from multiple estimates; -other functions useful in ICA.

The estimation method proposed by Chen and Yi (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13331> is extended to the analysis of survival data, accommodating commonly used survival models while accounting for measurement error and network structures among covariates.

User-friendly framework that enables the training and the evaluation of species distribution models (SDMs).

Extension of the snow package supporting fault tolerant and reproducible applications, as well as supporting easy-to-use parallel programming - only one function is needed. Dynamic cluster size is also available.

Computes the studentized midrange distribution (pdf, cdf and quantile) and generates random numbers.

By adding dependencies to the "Suggests" field of a package's DESCRIPTION file, and then declaring that they are needed within any dependent functionality, it is often possible to significantly reduce the number of "hard" dependencies required by a package. This package provides a minimal way to declare when a suggested package is needed.

This package performs support vectors analysis for data sets with survival outcome. Three approaches are available in the package: The regression approach takes censoring into account when formulating the inequality constraints of the support vector problem. In the ranking approach, the inequality constraints set the objective to maximize the concordance index for comparable pairs of observations. The hybrid approach combines the regression and ranking constraints in the same model.

This package provides a framework for simulating spatially explicit genomic data which leverages real cartographic information for programmatic and visual encoding of spatiotemporal population dynamics on real geographic landscapes. Population genetic models are then automatically executed by the SLiM software by Haller et al. (2019) <doi:10.1093/molbev/msy228> behind the scenes, using a custom built-in simulation SLiM script. Additionally, fully abstract spatial models not tied to a specific geographic location are supported, and users can also simulate data from standard, non-spatial, random-mating models. These can be simulated either with the SLiM built-in back-end script, or using an efficient coalescent population genetics simulator msprime by Baumdicker et al. (2022) <doi:10.1093/genetics/iyab229> with a custom-built Python script bundled with the R package. Simulated genomic data is saved in a tree-sequence format and can be loaded, manipulated, and summarised using tree-sequence functionality via an R interface to the Python module tskit by Kelleher et al. (2019) <doi:10.1038/s41588-019-0483-y>. Complete model configuration, simulation and analysis pipelines can be therefore constructed without a need to leave the R environment, eliminating friction between disparate tools for population genetic simulations and data analysis.

This package provides a specialized selection algorithm designed to align simulated fire perimeters with specific fire size distribution scenarios. The foundation of this approach lies in generating a vast collection of plausible simulated fires across a wide range of conditions, assuming a random pattern of ignition. The algorithm then assembles individual fire perimeters based on their specific probabilities of occurrence, e.g., determined by (i) the likelihood of ignition and (ii) the probability of particular fire-weather scenarios, including wind speed and direction. Implements the method presented in Rodrigues (2025a) <doi:10.5194/egusphere-egu25-8974>. Demo data and code examples can be found in Rodrigues (2025b) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.15282605>.

Calculating home ranges and movements of animals in complex stream environments is often challenging, and standard home range estimators do not apply. This package provides a series of tools for assessing movements in a stream network, such as calculating the total length of stream used, distances between points, and movement patterns over time. See Vignette for additional details. This package was originally released on GitHub under the name SNM'. SNMA was developed for analyses in McKnight et al. (2025) <doi:10.3354/esr01442> which contains additional examples and information.
