This package provides a distributed framework for simulating and estimating skew factor models under various skewed and heavy-tailed distributions. The methods support distributed data generation, aggregation of local estimators, and evaluation of estimation performance via mean squared error, relative error, and sparsity measures. The distributed principal component (PC) estimators implemented in the package include IPC (Independent Principal Component),'PPC (Project Principal Component), SPC (Sparse Principal Component), and other related distributed PC methods. The methodological background follows Guo G. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00180-022-01270-z>.

To help you access, transform, analyze, and visualize ForestGEO data, we developed a collection of R packages (<https://forestgeo.github.io/fgeo/>). This package, in particular, helps you to install and load the entire package-collection with a single R command, and provides convenient ways to find relevant documentation. Most commonly, you should not worry about the individual packages that make up the package-collection as you can access all features via this package. To learn more about ForestGEO visit <http://www.forestgeo.si.edu/>.

This package provides methods to "add" two R tables; also an alternative interpretation of named vectors as generalized R tables, so that c(a=1,b=2,c=3) + c(b=3,a=-1) will return c(b=5,c=3). Uses disordR discipline (Hankin, 2022, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2210.03856>). Extraction and replacement methods are provided. The underlying mathematical structure is the Free Abelian group, hence the name. To cite in publications please use Hankin (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2307.13184>.

Fit a full or subsampling bagging survival tree on a mixture of population (susceptible and nonsusceptible) using either a pseudo R2 criterion or an adjusted Logrank criterion. The predictor is evaluated using the Out Of Bag Integrated Brier Score (IBS) and several scores of importance are computed for variable selection. The thresholds values for variable selection are computed using a nonparametric permutation test. See Cyprien Mbogning and Philippe Broet (2016)<doi:10.1186/s12859-016-1090-x> for an overview about the methods implemented in this package.

This package implements an algorithm for fitting a generative model with an intractable likelihood using only box constraints on the parameters. The implemented algorithm consists of two phases. The first phase (global search) aims to identify the region containing the best solution, while the second phase (local search) refines this solution using a trust-region version of the Fisher scoring method to solve a quasi-likelihood equation. See Guido Masarotto (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2511.08180> for the details of the algorithm and supporting results.

This package implements proper and so-called Maximum Likelihood Multiple Imputation as described by von Hippel and Bartlett (2021) <doi:10.1214/20-STS793>. A number of different imputation methods are available, by utilising the norm', cat and mix packages. Inferences can be performed either using Rubin's rules (for proper imputation), or a modified version for maximum likelihood imputation. For maximum likelihood imputations a likelihood score based approach based on theory by Wang and Robins (1998) <doi:10.1093/biomet/85.4.935> is also available.

This package contains model-based treatment of missing data for regression models with missing values in covariates or the dependent variable using maximum likelihood or Bayesian estimation (Ibrahim et al., 2005; <doi:10.1198/016214504000001844>; Luedtke, Robitzsch, & West, 2020a, 2020b; <doi:10.1080/00273171.2019.1640104><doi:10.1037/met0000233>). The regression model can be nonlinear (e.g., interaction effects, quadratic effects or B-spline functions). Multilevel models with missing data in predictors are available for Bayesian estimation. Substantive-model compatible multiple imputation can be also conducted.

We consider the network structure detection for variables Y with auxiliary variables X accommodated, which are possibly subject to measurement error. The following three functions are designed to address various structures by different methods : one is NP_Graph() that is used for handling the nonlinear relationship between the responses and the covariates, another is Joint_Gaussian() that is used for correction in linear regression models via the Gaussian maximum likelihood, and the other Cond_Gaussian() is for linear regression models via conditional likelihood function.

Implementation of prediction and inference procedures for Synthetic Control methods using least square, lasso, ridge, or simplex-type constraints. Uncertainty is quantified with prediction intervals as developed in Cattaneo, Feng, and Titiunik (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1979561> for a single treated unit and in Cattaneo, Feng, Palomba, and Titiunik (2025) <doi:10.1162/rest_a_01588> for multiple treated units and staggered adoption. More details about the software implementation can be found in Cattaneo, Feng, Palomba, and Titiunik (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v113.i01>.

Access and manipulate spatial tracking data, with straightforward coercion from and to other formats. Filter for speed and create time spent maps from tracking data. There are coercion methods to convert between trip and ltraj from adehabitatLT', and between trip and psp and ppp from spatstat'. Trip objects can be created from raw or grouped data frames, and from types in the sp', sf', amt', trackeR', mousetrap', and other packages, Sumner, MD (2011) <https://figshare.utas.edu.au/articles/thesis/The_tag_location_problem/23209538>.

This package provides functions for the Bayesian analysis of some simple commonly-used models, without using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods such as Gibbs sampling. The rust package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=rust> is used to simulate a random sample from the required posterior distribution, using the generalized ratio-of-uniforms method. See Wakefield, Gelfand and Smith (1991) <DOI:10.1007/BF01889987> for details. At the moment three conjugate hierarchical models are available: beta-binomial, gamma-Poisson and a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

This package implements multiple change searching algorithms for a variety of frequently considered parametric change-point models. In particular, it integrates a criterion proposed by Zou, Wang and Li (2020) <doi:10.1214/19-AOS1814> to select the number of change-points in a data-driven fashion. Moreover, it also provides interfaces for user-customized change-point models with one's own cost function and parameter estimation routine. It is easy to get started with the cpss.* set of functions by accessing their documentation pages (e.g., ?cpss).

Access chemical, hazard, bioactivity, and exposure data from the Computational Toxicology and Exposure ('CTX') APIs <https://www.epa.gov/comptox-tools/computational-toxicology-and-exposure-apis>. ctxR was developed to streamline the process of accessing the information available through the CTX APIs without requiring prior knowledge of how to use APIs. Most data is also available on the CompTox Chemical Dashboard ('CCD') <https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard/> and other resources found at the EPA Computational Toxicology and Exposure Online Resources <https://www.epa.gov/comptox-tools>.

Compares distributions with one another in terms of their fit to each sample in a dataset that contains multiple samples, as described in Joo, Aguinis, and Bradley (in press). Users can examine the fit of seven distributions per sample: pure power law, lognormal, exponential, power law with an exponential cutoff, normal, Poisson, and Weibull. Automation features allow the user to compare all distributions for all samples with a single command line, which creates a separate row containing results for each sample until the entire dataset has been analyzed.

This package provides a dynamic programming algorithm for the fast segmentation of univariate signals into piecewise constant profiles. The fpop package is a wrapper to a C++ implementation of the fpop (Functional Pruning Optimal Partioning) algorithm described in Maidstone et al. 2017 <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9636-3>. The problem of detecting changepoints in an univariate sequence is formulated in terms of minimising the mean squared error over segmentations. The fpop algorithm exactly minimizes the mean squared error for a penalty linear in the number of changepoints.

Inequality constraints on the parameters are allowed and can be tested.

Fast and accurate inference of gene-environment associations (GEA) in genome-wide studies (Caye et al., 2019, <doi:10.1093/molbev/msz008>). We developed a least-squares estimation approach for confounder and effect sizes estimation that provides a unique framework for several categories of genomic data, not restricted to genotypes. The speed of the new algorithm is several times faster than the existing GEA approaches, then our previous version of the LFMM program present in the LEA package (Frichot and Francois, 2015, <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12382>).

Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) is a non-parametric, unsupervised method for estimating variation of gene set enrichment through the samples of a expression data set. GSVA performs a change in coordinate systems, transforming the data from a gene by sample matrix to a gene-set by sample matrix, thereby allowing the evaluation of pathway enrichment for each sample. This new matrix of GSVA enrichment scores facilitates applying standard analytical methods like functional enrichment, survival analysis, clustering, CNV-pathway analysis or cross-tissue pathway analysis, in a pathway-centric manner.

This package facilitates easy manipulation of variant call format (VCF) data. Functions are provided to rapidly read from and write to VCF files. Once VCF data is read into R, a parser function extracts matrices of data. This information can then be used for quality control or other purposes. Additional functions provide visualization of genomic data. Once processing is complete data may be written to a VCF file. It also may be converted into other popular R objects. This package provides a link between VCF data and familiar R software.
