This package provides tools for the optimization of stratified sampling design. It determines a stratification of a sampling frame that minimizes sample cost while satisfying precision constraints in a multivariate and multidomain context. The approach relies on a genetic algorithm; each candidate partition of the frame is an individual whose fitness is evaluated via the Bethel-Chromy allocation to meet target precisions. Functions support analysis of optimization results, labeling of the frame with new strata, and drawing a sample according to the optimal allocation. Algorithmic components adapt code from the genalg package. See M. Ballin and G. Barcaroli (2020) "R package SamplingStrata: new developments and extension to Spatial Sampling" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2004.09366>.

This package implements S-type ridge regression, a robust and multicollinearity-aware linear regression estimator that combines S-type robust weighting (via the Stype.est package) with ridge penalization; automatically selects the ridge parameter using the ridgregextra approach targeting a close to 1 variance inflation factor (VIF), and returns comprehensive outputs (coefficients, fitted values, residuals, mean squared error (MSE), etc.) with an easy x/y interface and optional user-supplied weights. See Sazak and Mutlu (2021) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2021.1928196>, Karadag et al. (2023) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ridgregextra> and Sazak et al. (2025) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=Stype.est>.

This package provides a complete analysis pipeline for the WHO STEPwise Approach to NCD Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPS) as described in Riley et al. (2016) <doi:10.2105/AJPH.2015.302962>. Imports raw survey data ('CSV', Excel', Stata', SPSS'), applies WHO-standard cleaning and recoding, sets up complex survey designs, computes all standard NCD indicators (tobacco, alcohol, diet, physical activity, anthropometry, blood pressure, biochemical), and generates publication-ready tables, visualisations, and Word'/'HTML reports (fact sheet, data book, country report).

Spatial components offer tools for dimension reduction and spatially variable gene detection for high dimensional spatial transcriptomics data. Construction of a projection onto low-dimensional feature space of spatially dependent metagenes offers pre-processing to clustering, testing for spatial variability and denoising of spatial expression patterns. For more details, see Koehler et al. (2026) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btag052>.

Affords researchers the ability to draw stratified samples from the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs/Department of Defense Identity Repository (VADIR) database according to a variety of population characteristics. The VADIR database contains information for all veterans who were separated from the military after 1980. The central utility of the present package is to integrate data cleaning and formatting for the VADIR database with the stratification methods described by Mahto (2019) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=splitstackshape>. Data from VADIR are not provided as part of this package.

This package provides a ggplot2 theme and colour palettes to create accessible data visualisations in the Scottish Government.

The goal of safejoin is to guarantee that when performing joins extra rows are not added to your data. safejoin provides a wrapper around dplyr::left_join that will raise an error when extra rows are unexpectedly added to your data. This can be useful when working with data where you expect there to be a many to one relationship but you are not certain the relationship holds.

Surface Protein abundance Estimation using CKmeans-based clustered thresholding ('SPECK') is an unsupervised learning-based method that performs receptor abundance estimation for single cell RNA-sequencing data based on reduced rank reconstruction (RRR) and a clustered thresholding mechanism.

(2015) <doi:10.1214/15-AOAS872>, Li et al. (2019) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0210645>, Wu et al. (DHS Spatial Analysis Reports No. 21, 2021), and Li et al. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.05117>.

This package creates superpixels based on input spatial data. This package works on spatial data with one variable (e.g., continuous raster), many variables (e.g., RGB rasters), and spatial patterns (e.g., areas in categorical rasters). It is based on the SLIC algorithm (Achanta et al. (2012) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2012.120>), and readapts it to work with arbitrary dissimilarity measures.

Performance of functional kriging, cokriging, optimal sampling and simulation for spatial prediction of functional data. The framework of spatial prediction, optimal sampling and simulation are extended from scalar to functional data. SpatFD is based on the Karhunen-Loève expansion that allows to represent the observed functions in terms of its empirical functional principal components. Based on this approach, the functional auto-covariances and cross-covariances required for spatial functional predictions and optimal sampling, are completely determined by the sum of the spatial auto-covariances and cross-covariances of the respective score components. The package provides new classes of data and functions for modeling spatial dependence structure among curves. The spatial prediction of curves at unsampled locations can be carried out using two types of predictors, and both of them report, the respective variances of the prediction error. In addition, there is a function for the determination of spatial locations sampling configuration that ensures minimum variance of spatial functional prediction. There are also two functions for plotting predicted curves at each location and mapping the surface at each time point, respectively. References Bohorquez, M., Giraldo, R., and Mateu, J. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s10260-015-0340-9>, Bohorquez, M., Giraldo, R., and Mateu, J. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00477-016-1266-y>, Bohorquez M., Giraldo R. and Mateu J. (2021) <doi:10.1002/9781119387916>.

The functions that are offered here implement for the R environment methods that have been available in the SYNCSA application written in C++ (by Valerio Pillar, available at <http://ecoqua.ecologia.ufrgs.br/SYNCSA.html>).

This package implements methods for variable selection in linear regression based on the "Sum of Single Effects" (SuSiE) model, as described in Wang et al (2020) <DOI:10.1101/501114> and Zou et al (2021) <DOI:10.1101/2021.11.03.467167>. These methods provide simple summaries, called "Credible Sets", for accurately quantifying uncertainty in which variables should be selected. The methods are motivated by genetic fine-mapping applications, and are particularly well-suited to settings where variables are highly correlated and detectable effects are sparse. The fitting algorithm, a Bayesian analogue of stepwise selection methods called "Iterative Bayesian Stepwise Selection" (IBSS), is simple and fast, allowing the SuSiE model be fit to large data sets (thousands of samples and hundreds of thousands of variables).

Simulates time-to-event (survival) datasets for clinical trial design and analysis using ordinary differential equation (ODE) models solved via the mrgsolve backend. Built-in Weibull and flexible M-spline baseline hazard models are provided out of the box, and fully bespoke hazard models can be implemented as custom mrgsolve ODE systems. Event times are generated by inverse transform sampling from the resulting cumulative hazard functions. See Bender et al. (2005) <doi:10.1002/sim.2059> for the inverse transform sampling methodology and Royston and Parmar (2002) <doi:10.1002/sim.1203> for flexible parametric survival models.

This enhanced implementation allows optimal, one-pass integrated serialization that combines R serialization with third-party serialization methods. Facilitates the serialization of even complex R objects, which contain non-system reference objects, such as those accessed via external pointers, for use in parallel and distributed computing.

The aim of the spatial downscaling is to increase the spatial resolution of the gridded geospatial input data. This package contains two deep learning based spatial downscaling methods, super-resolution deep residual network (SRDRN) (Wang et al., 2021 <doi:10.1029/2020WR029308>) and UNet (Ronneberger et al., 2015 <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-24574-4_28>), along with a statistical baseline method bias correction and spatial disaggregation (Wood et al., 2004 <doi:10.1023/B:CLIM.0000013685.99609.9e>). The SRDRN and UNet methods are implemented to optionally account for cyclical temporal patterns in case of spatio-temporal data. For more details of the methods, see Sipilä et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.13753>.

This is a shape preserving spline <doi:10.1137/0720057> which is guaranteed to be monotonic and concave or convex if the data is monotonic and concave or convex. It does not use any optimisation and is therefore quick and smoothly converges to a fixed point in economic dynamics problems including value function iteration. It also automatically gives the first two derivatives of the spline and options for determining behaviour when evaluated outside the interpolation domain.
