This package implements the Self-Similarity Test for Normality (SSTN), a new statistical test designed to assess whether a given sample originates from a normal distribution. The method exploits the self-similarity property of the normal characteristic function by iteratively transforming and comparing standardized empirical characteristic functions. The null distribution of the test statistic is obtained via Monte Carlo simulation. Details of the methodology are described in Anarat and Schwender (2026), "A test for normality based on self-similarity", <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.03810>.

Estimates the proportion of treatment effect on a censored primary outcome that is explained by the treatment effect on a censored surrogate outcome/event. All methods are described in detail in Parast, et al (2020) "Assessing the Value of a Censored Surrogate Outcome" <doi:10.1007/s10985-019-09473-1> and Wang et al (2025) "Model-free Approach to Evaluate a Censored Intermediate Outcome as a Surrogate for Overall Survival" <doi:10.1002/sim.70268>. A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://www.laylaparast.com/surrogateoutcome>.

(2018) <doi:10.1515/bejeap-2017-0235>.

An easy-to-use and efficient tool to estimate infectious diseases parameters using serological data. Implemented models include SIR models (basic_sir_model(), static_sir_model(), mseir_model(), sir_subpops_model()), parametric models (polynomial_model(), fp_model()), nonparametric models (lp_model()), semiparametric models (penalized_splines_model()), hierarchical models (hierarchical_bayesian_model()). The package is based on the book "Modeling Infectious Disease Parameters Based on Serological and Social Contact Data: A Modern Statistical Perspective" (Hens, Niel & Shkedy, Ziv & Aerts, Marc & Faes, Christel & Damme, Pierre & Beutels, Philippe., 2013) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-4072-7>.

The SALTSampler package facilitates Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) sampling of random variables on a simplex. A Self-Adjusting Logit Transform (SALT) proposal is used so that sampling is still efficient even in difficult cases, such as those in high dimensions or with parameters that differ by orders of magnitude. Special care is also taken to maintain accuracy even when some coordinates approach 0 or 1 numerically. Diagnostic and graphic functions are included in the package, enabling easy assessment of the convergence and mixing of the chain within the constrained space.

Generates multiple imputed datasets from a substantive model compatible fully conditional specification model for time-to-event data. Our method assumes that the censoring process also depends on the covariates with missing values. Details will be available in an upcoming publication.

Uses simulations from generalized linear mixed-effects models to incorporate random effects across multiple sources and levels of variation, and a dispersion parameter to account for overdispersion and capture unexplained variability. Covers design scenarios for both short-term and long-term trials evaluating the impact of single or combined vector control interventions. Methods build on Kipingu et al. (2025) <doi:10.1186/s12936-025-05454-y> and Johnson et al. (2015) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12306>.

This package provides functions to nonparametrically assess assumptions sufficient to prevent the surrogate paradox through hypothesis tests of stochastic dominance, monotonicity of conditional mean functions, and non-negative residual treatment effect. Details are described in: Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L (2026). "Avoiding the surrogate paradox: an empirical framework for assessing assumptions." Journal of Nonparametric Statistics <doi:10.1080/10485252.2025.2498609>. There are also functions to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox via calculation of the resilience probability, the resilience bound, and the resilience set. Details will be available in Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L, "Resilience Measures for the Surrogate Paradox" (Under Review). Lastly, there is a function to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox in the met-analytic setting, described in Hsiao E and Parast L, "A Functional-Class Meta-Analytic Framework for Quantifying Surrogate Resilience" (Under Review).

This package provides tools for identifying potential information leakage and validation risks in machine learning workflows using environmental sensor data. The package includes checks for temporal ordering, shared sensors, spatial proximity, and overlapping temporal windows. The diagnostics are motivated by considerations of spatial and temporal structure in model validation (Roberts et al., 2017) <doi:10.1111/ecog.02881>.

RNA sequencing analysis methods are often derived by relying on hypothetical parametric models for read counts that are not likely to be precisely satisfied in practice. Methods are often tested by analyzing data that have been simulated according to the assumed model. This testing strategy can result in an overly optimistic view of the performance of an RNA-seq analysis method. We develop a data-based simulation algorithm for RNA-seq data. The vector of read counts simulated for a given experimental unit has a joint distribution that closely matches the distribution of a source RNA-seq dataset provided by the user. Users control the proportion of genes simulated to be differentially expressed (DE) and can provide a vector of weights to control the distribution of effect sizes. The algorithm requires a matrix of RNA-seq read counts with large sample sizes in at least two treatment groups. Many datasets are available that fit this standard.

Species sensitivity distributions are cumulative probability distributions which are fitted to toxicity concentrations for different species as described by Posthuma et al. (2001) <isbn:9781566705783>. The ssdtools package uses Maximum Likelihood to fit distributions such as the gamma, log-logistic, log-normal and log-normal log-normal mixture. Multiple distributions can be averaged using Akaike Information Criteria. Confidence intervals on hazard concentrations and proportions are produced by bootstrapping.
