Time series area-level models for small area estimation. The package supplements the functionality of the sae package. Specifically, it includes EBLUP fitting of the Rao-Yu model in the original form without a spatial component. The package also offers a modified ("dynamic") version of the Rao-Yu model, replacing the assumption of stationarity. Both univariate and multivariate applications are supported. Of particular note is the allowance for covariance of the area-level sample estimates over time, as encountered in rotating panel designs such as the U.S. National Crime Victimization Survey or present in a time-series of 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey. Key references to the methods include J.N.K. Rao and I. Molina (2015, ISBN:9781118735787), J.N.K. Rao and M. Yu (1994) <doi:10.2307/3315407>, and R.E. Fay and R.A. Herriot (1979) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482505>.

Offers a systematic way for conditional reporting of figures and tables for many (and bivariate combinations of) variables, typically from survey data.

This package implements statistical methods for detecting evolutionary shifts in both the optimal trait value (mean) and evolutionary diffusion variance. The method uses an L1-penalized optimization framework to identify branches where shifts occur, and the shift magnitudes. It also supports the inclusion of measurement error. For more details, see Zhang, Ho, and Kenney (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.17480>.

This package provides a robust and powerful empirical Bayesian approach is developed for replicability analysis of two large-scale experimental studies. The method controls the false discovery rate by using the joint local false discovery rate based on the replicability null as the test statistic. An EM algorithm combined with a shape constraint nonparametric method is used to estimate unknown parameters and functions. [Li, Y. et al., (2024), <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1011423>].

Last.fm'<https://www.last.fm> is a music platform focussed on building a detailed profile of a users listening habits. It does this by scrobbling (recording) every track you listen to on other platforms ('spotify', youtube', soundcloud etc) and transferring them to your Last.fm database. This allows Last.fm to act as a complete record of your entire listening history. scrobbler provides helper functions to download and analyse your listening history in R.

For biparental, three and four-way crosses Identity by Descent (IBD) probabilities can be calculated using Hidden Markov Models and inheritance vectors following Lander and Green (<https://www.jstor.org/stable/29713>) and Huang (<doi:10.1073/pnas.1100465108>). One of a series of statistical genetic packages for streamlining the analysis of typical plant breeding experiments developed by Biometris.

Vignettes for the survival package. Split from the survival package since the vignettes were getting large. Also, since survival is a recommended package it cannot make use of other packages outside of base+recommended (e.g. rmarkdown').

Extends the functionality of the package Synth as detailed in Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v042.i13>. Includes generating and plotting placebos, post/pre-MSPE (Mean Squared Prediction Error) significance tests and plots, and calculating average treatment effects for multiple treated units.

Provides easy downloads of snow data into your R work space or a local directory. Additional post-processing routines to extract snow season indexes are provided.

The goal of the SwimmeR package is to provide means of acquiring, and then analyzing, data from swimming (and diving) competitions. To that end SwimmeR allows results to be read in from .html sources, like Hy-Tek real time results pages, .pdf files, ISL results, Omega results, and (on a development basis) .hy3 files. Once read in, SwimmeR can convert swimming times (performances) between the computationally useful format of seconds reported to the 100ths place (e.g. 95.37), and the conventional reporting format (1:35.37) used in the swimming community. SwimmeR can also score meets in a variety of formats with user defined point values, convert times between courses ('LCM', SCM', SCY') and draw single elimination brackets, as well as providing a suite of tools for working cleaning swimming data. This is a developmental package, not yet mature.

SOHPIE (pronounced as SOFIE) is a novel pseudo-value regression approach for differential co-abundance network analysis of microbiome data, which can include additional clinical covariate in the model. The full methodological details can be found in Ahn S and Datta S (2023) <arXiv:2303.13702v1>.

This package provides a graphical and automated pipeline for the analysis of short time-series in R ('santaR'). This approach is designed to accommodate asynchronous time sampling (i.e. different time points for different individuals), inter-individual variability, noisy measurements and large numbers of variables. Based on a smoothing splines functional model, santaR is able to detect variables highlighting significantly different temporal trajectories between study groups. Designed initially for metabolic phenotyping, santaR is also suited for other Systems Biology disciplines. Command line and graphical analysis (via a shiny application) enable fast and parallel automated analysis and reporting, intuitive visualisation and comprehensive plotting options for non-specialist users.

Allows the user to estimate a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model via maximum log-likelihood or nonlinear least squares. It further permits to test for linearity in the multivariate framework against a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model with a single transition variable. The estimation method is discussed in Terasvirta and Yang (2014, <doi:10.1108/S0731-9053(2013)0000031008>). Also, realized covariances can be constructed from stock market prices or returns, as explained in Andersen et al. (2001, <doi:10.1016/S0304-405X(01)00055-1>).

Studies otolith shape variation among fish populations. Otoliths are calcified structures found in the inner ear of teleost fish and their shape has been known to vary among several fish populations and stocks, making them very useful in taxonomy, species identification and to study geographic variations. The package extends previously described software used for otolith shape analysis by allowing the user to automatically extract closed contour outlines from a large number of images, perform smoothing to eliminate pixel noise described in Haines and Crampton (2000) <doi:10.1111/1475-4983.00148>, choose from conducting either a Fourier or wavelet see Gençay et al (2001) <doi:10.1016/S0378-4371(00)00463-5> transform to the outlines and visualize the mean shape. The output of the package are independent Fourier or wavelet coefficients which can be directly imported into a wide range of statistical packages in R. The package might prove useful in studies of any two dimensional objects.

Create a hexagon tile map display from spatial polygons. Each polygon is represented by a hexagon tile, placed as close to it's original centroid as possible, with a focus on maintaining spatial relationship to a focal point. Developed to aid visualisation and analysis of spatial distributions across Australia, which can be challenging due to the concentration of the population on the coast and wide open interior.

This package provides an automated routing engine for longitudinal missing data. It utilizes a Lagrange-constrained Random Forest based on sample size, missingness rate, and skew to preserve structural variance.

The notion of spreading activation is a prevalent metaphor in the cognitive sciences. This package provides the tools for cognitive scientists and psychologists to conduct computer simulations that implement spreading activation in a network representation. The algorithmic method implemented in spreadr subroutines follows the approach described in Vitevitch, Ercal, and Adagarla (2011, Frontiers), who viewed activation as a fixed cognitive resource that could spread among nodes that were connected to each other via edges or connections (i.e., a network). See Vitevitch, M. S., Ercal, G., & Adagarla, B. (2011). Simulating retrieval from a highly clustered network: Implications for spoken word recognition. Frontiers in Psychology, 2, 369. <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2011.00369> and Siew, C. S. Q. (2019). spreadr: A R package to simulate spreading activation in a network. Behavior Research Methods, 51, 910-929. <doi: 10.3758/s13428-018-1186-5>.

This package provides deterministic tools for auditing whether artificial intelligence systems preserve the numerical, semantic, contextual, temporal, geographic, unit, provenance, revision, transformation, and uncertainty properties of official statistics. Structured reference statistics and machine-generated claims can be compared with non-compensatory critical-error rules, weakest-link and geometric fidelity summaries, provenance graphs, and portable SHA-256 proof bundles. The package also provides bounded connectors for official Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, United Nations SDG, United Kingdom Office for National Statistics, and United States Bureau of Labor Statistics application programming interfaces, plus an extensible HTTPS JSON API registry with session-only API-key support. Prompt perturbation, statistical red-team generation, minimal-pair tests, and starter benchmark data support reproducible evaluation of generative, retrieval-augmented, and agentic statistical systems. An embedded alignment layer maps claim-level controls to relevant activities of the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) 5.2, including Analyse, Disseminate, Evaluate, Quality Management, and Metadata Management. No specific model provider is required.

SEM Trees and SEM Forests -- an extension of model-based decision trees and forests to Structural Equation Models (SEM). SEM trees hierarchically split empirical data into homogeneous groups each sharing similar data patterns with respect to a SEM by recursively selecting optimal predictors of these differences. SEM forests are an extension of SEM trees. They are ensembles of SEM trees each built on a random sample of the original data. By aggregating over a forest, we obtain measures of variable importance that are more robust than measures from single trees. A description of the method was published by Brandmaier, von Oertzen, McArdle, & Lindenberger (2013) <doi:10.1037/a0030001> and Arnold, Voelkle, & Brandmaier (2020) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.564403>.

This package provides functions for sample size estimation and simulation in clinical trials. Includes methods for selecting the best group using the Indifference-zone approach, as well as designs for non-inferiority, equivalence, and negative binomial models. For the sample size calculation for non-inferiority of vaccines, the approach is based on Fleming, Powers, and Huang (2021) <doi:10.1177/1740774520988244>. The Indifference-zone approach is based on Sobel and Huyett (1957) <doi:10.1002/j.1538-7305.1957.tb02411.x> and Bechhofer, Santner, and Goldsman (1995, ISBN:978-0-471-57427-9).
