User-friendly and fast set of functions for estimating parameters of hierarchical Bayesian species distribution models (Latimer and others 2006 <doi:10.1890/04-0609>). Such models allow interpreting the observations (occurrence and abundance of a species) as a result of several hierarchical processes including ecological processes (habitat suitability, spatial dependence and anthropogenic disturbance) and observation processes (species detectability). Hierarchical species distribution models are essential for accurately characterizing the environmental response of species, predicting their probability of occurrence, and assessing uncertainty in the model results.

Identify Cancer Dysfunctional Sub-pathway by integrating gene expression, DNA methylation and copy number variation, and pathway topological information. 1)We firstly calculate the gene risk scores by integrating three kinds of data: DNA methylation, copy number variation, and gene expression. 2)Secondly, we perform a greedy search algorithm to identify the key dysfunctional sub-pathways within the pathways for which the discriminative scores were locally maximal. 3)Finally, the permutation test was used to calculate statistical significance level for these key dysfunctional sub-pathways.

Interpretability of complex machine learning models is a growing concern. This package helps to understand key factors that drive the decision made by complicated predictive model (so called black box model). This is achieved through local approximations that are either based on additive regression like model or CART like model that allows for higher interactions. The methodology is based on Tulio Ribeiro, Singh, Guestrin (2016) <doi:10.1145/2939672.2939778>. More details can be found in Staniak, Biecek (2018) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-072>.

To determine the number of quantitative assays needed for a sample of data using pooled testing methods, which include mini-pooling (MP), MP with algorithm (MPA), and marker-assisted MPA (mMPA). To estimate the number of assays needed, the package also provides a tool to conduct Monte Carlo (MC) to simulate different orders in which the sample would be collected to form pools. Using MC avoids the dependence of the estimated number of assays on any specific ordering of the samples to form pools.

This package provides functions for classifying sparseness in 2 x 2 categorical data where one or more cells have zero counts. The classification uses three widely applied summary measures: Risk Difference (RD), Relative Risk (RR), and Odds Ratio (OR). Helps in selecting suitable continuity corrections for zero cells in multi-centre or meta-analysis studies. Also supports sensitivity analysis and can detect phenomena such as Simpson's paradox. The methodology is based on Subbiah and Srinivasan (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2008.06.023>.

This is the R API for the nfer formalism (<http://nfer.io/>). nfer was developed to specify event stream abstractions for spacecraft telemetry such as the Mars Science Laboratory. Users write rules using a syntax that borrows heavily from Allen's Temporal Logic that, when applied to an event stream, construct a hierarchy of temporal intervals with data. The R API supports loading rules from a file or mining them from historical data. Traces of events or pools of intervals are provided as data frames.

Functions, examples and data from the first and the second edition of "Numerical Methods and Optimization in Finance" by M. Gilli, D. Maringer and E. Schumann (2019, ISBN:978-0128150658). The package provides implementations of optimisation heuristics (Differential Evolution, Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimisation, Simulated Annealing and Threshold Accepting), and other optimisation tools, such as grid search and greedy search. There are also functions for the valuation of financial instruments such as bonds and options, for portfolio selection and functions that help with stochastic simulations.

We provide a toolbox to fit and simulate a univariate or multivariate damped random walk process that is also known as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process or a continuous-time autoregressive model of the first order, i.e., CAR(1) or CARMA(1, 0). This process is suitable for analyzing univariate or multivariate time series data with irregularly-spaced observation times and heteroscedastic measurement errors. When it comes to the multivariate case, the number of data points (measurements/observations) available at each observation time does not need to be the same, and the length of each time series can vary. The number of time series data sets that can be modeled simultaneously is limited to ten in this version of the package. We use Kalman-filtering to evaluate the resulting likelihood function, which leads to a scalable and efficient computation in finding maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters or in drawing their posterior samples. Please pay attention to loading the data if this package is used for astronomical data analyses; see the details in the manual. Also see Hu and Tak (2020) <arXiv:2005.08049>.

This package provides smooth additive quantile regression models, fitted using the methods of Fasiolo et al. (2017). Differently from quantreg, the smoothing parameters are estimated automatically by marginal loss minimization, while the regression coefficients are estimated using either PIRLS or Newton algorithm. The learning rate is determined so that the Bayesian credible intervals of the estimated effects have approximately the correct coverage. The main function is qgam() which is similar to gam() in the mgcv package, but fits non-parametric quantile regression models.

Rasqal is a C library that handles Resource Description Framework (RDF) query language syntaxes, query construction and execution of queries returning results as bindings, boolean, RDF graphs/triples or syntaxes. The supported query languages are SPARQL Query 1.0, SPARQL Query 1.1, SPARQL Update 1.1 (no executing) and the Experimental SPARQL extensions (LAQRS). Rasqal can write binding query results in the SPARQL XML, SPARQL JSON, CSV, TSV, HTML, ASCII tables, RDF/XML and Turtle/N3 and read them in SPARQL XML, RDF/XML and Turtle/N3.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a widely used tool for identification of genetic variants associated with phenotypes and diseases, though complex diseases featuring many genetic variants with small effects present difficulties for traditional these studies. By leveraging pleiotropy, the statistical power of a single GWAS can be increased. This package provides functions for fitting graph-GPA, a statistical framework to prioritize GWAS results by integrating pleiotropy. GGPA package provides user-friendly interface to fit graph-GPA models, implement association mapping, and generate a phenotype graph.

How to fit a straight line through a set of points with errors in both coordinates? The bfsl package implements the York regression (York, 2004 <doi:10.1119/1.1632486>). It provides unbiased estimates of the intercept, slope and standard errors for the best-fit straight line to independent points with (possibly correlated) normally distributed errors in both x and y. Other commonly used errors-in-variables methods, such as orthogonal distance regression, geometric mean regression or Deming regression are special cases of the bfsl solution.

Efficient methods for Bayesian inference of state space models via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based on parallel importance sampling type weighted estimators (Vihola, Helske, and Franks, 2020, <doi:10.1111/sjos.12492>), particle MCMC, and its delayed acceptance version. Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, and Gamma observation densities and basic stochastic volatility models with linear-Gaussian state dynamics, as well as general non-linear Gaussian models and discretised diffusion models are supported. See Helske and Vihola (2021, <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-103>) for details.

Facilitates the identification of counterfactual queries in structural causal models via the ID* and IDC* algorithms by Shpitser, I. and Pearl, J. (2007, 2008) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1206.5294>, <https://jmlr.org/papers/v9/shpitser08a.html>. Provides a simple interface for defining causal diagrams and counterfactual conjunctions. Construction of parallel worlds graphs and counterfactual graphs is carried out automatically based on the counterfactual query and the causal diagram. See Tikka, S. (2023) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2023-053> for a tutorial of the package.

Multivariate estimation and testing, currently a package for testing parametric data. To deal with parametric data, various multivariate normality tests and outlier detection are performed and visualized using the ggplot2 package. Homogeneity tests for covariance matrices are also possible, as well as the Hotelling's T-square test and the multivariate analysis of variance test. We are exploring additional tests and visualization techniques, such as profile analysis and randomized complete block design, to be made available in the future and making them easily accessible to users.

This package provides an extension of the shadow-test approach to computerized adaptive testing (CAT) implemented in the TestDesign package for the assessment framework involving multiple tests administered periodically throughout the year. This framework is referred to as the Multiple Administrations Adaptive Testing (MAAT) and supports multiple item pools vertically scaled and multiple phases (stages) of CAT within each test. Between phases and tests, transitioning from one item pool (and associated constraints) to another is allowed as deemed necessary to enhance the quality of measurement.

Multi modality data matrices are factorized conjointly into the multiplication of a shared sub-matrix and multiple modality specific sub-matrices, group sparse constraint is applied to the shared sub-matrix to capture the homogeneous and heterogeneous information, respectively. Then the samples are classified by clustering the shared sub-matrix with kmeanspp(), a new version of kmeans() developed here to obtain concordant results. The package also provides the cluster number estimation by rotation cost. Moreover, cluster specific features could be retrieved using hypergeometric tests.

Calculates the Probability Plot Correlation Coefficient (PPCC) between a continuous variable X and a specified distribution. The corresponding composite hypothesis test that was first introduced by Filliben (1975) <doi: 10.1080/00401706.1975.10489279> can be performed to test whether the sample X is element of either the Normal, log-Normal, Exponential, Uniform, Cauchy, Logistic, Generalized Logistic, Gumbel (GEVI), Weibull, Generalized Extreme Value, Pearson III (Gamma 2), Mielke's Kappa, Rayleigh or Generalized Logistic Distribution. The PPCC test is performed with a fast Monte-Carlo simulation.

Create, transform, and summarize custom random variables with distribution functions (analogues of p*()', d*()', q*()', and r*() functions from base R). Two types of distributions are supported: "discrete" (random variable has finite number of output values) and "continuous" (infinite number of values in the form of continuous random variable). Functions for distribution transformations and summaries are available. Implemented approaches often emphasize approximate and numerical solutions: all distributions assume finite support and finite values of density function; some methods implemented with simulation techniques.
