Fits variance-guided linear regression models that provide an alternative to ordinary least squares (OLS) for general linear-model design matrices, including ANOVA-style encodings. The methods use an iteratively reweighted least squares estimator or an iteratively reweighted lasso estimator and implement the global linear mean-variance model from the associated 2026 Statistics in Medicine article <doi:10.1002/sim.70632>. Under the assumptions in that paper, the estimator matches the homoscedastic baseline in population predictive quasi-risk when variance is constant and improves on it when the variance depends on covariates. The grouping-based nonlinear prediction extension from Section 3 is available in the development version on GitHub.

This package provides a continuous version of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve to assess both classification and continuity performances of biomarkers, diagnostic tests, or risk prediction models.

Non-Domestic VAERS vaccine data for 01/01/2016 - 06/14/2016. If you want to explore the full VAERS data for 1990 - Present (data, symptoms, and vaccines), then check out the vaersND package from the URL below. The URL and BugReports below correspond to the vaersND package, of which vaersNDvax is a small subset (2016 only). vaersND is not hosted on CRAN due to the large size of the data set. To install the Suggested vaers and vaersND packages, use the following R code: devtools::install_git("https://gitlab.com/iembry/vaers.git", build_vignettes = TRUE) and devtools::install_git("https://gitlab.com/iembry/vaersND.git", build_vignettes = TRUE)'. "VAERS is a national vaccine safety surveillance program co-sponsored by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS is a post-marketing safety surveillance program, collecting information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of vaccines licensed for use in the United States."

Vector autoregressive (VAR) model is a fundamental and effective approach for multivariate time series analysis. Shrinkage estimation methods can be applied to high-dimensional VAR models with dimensionality greater than the number of observations, contrary to the standard ordinary least squares method. This package is an integrative package delivering nonparametric, parametric, and semiparametric methods in a unified and consistent manner, such as the multivariate ridge regression in Golub, Heath, and Wahba (1979) <doi:10.2307/1268518>, a James-Stein type nonparametric shrinkage method in Opgen-Rhein and Strimmer (2007) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-8-S2-S3>, and Bayesian estimation methods using noninformative and informative priors in Lee, Choi, and S.-H. Kim (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2016.03.007> and Ni and Sun (2005) <doi:10.1198/073500104000000622>.

Estimate vaccine efficacy (VE) using immunogenicity data. The inclusion of immunogenicity data in regression models can increase precision in VE. The methods are described in the publications "Elucidating vaccine efficacy using a correlate of protection, demographics, and logistic regression" and "Improving precision of vaccine efficacy evaluation using immune correlate data in time-to-event models" by Julie Dudasova, Zdenek Valenta, and Jeffrey R. Sachs (2024).

This package provides methods to calculate the expected value of information from a decision-analytic model. This includes the expected value of perfect information (EVPI), partial perfect information (EVPPI) and sample information (EVSI), and the expected net benefit of sampling (ENBS).

(2022) <doi:10.1146/annurev-statistics-040120-010730>.

This package provides a collection of tools for analyzing the field of vision. It provides a framework for development and use of innovative methods for visualization, statistical analysis, and clinical interpretation of visual-field loss and its change over time. It is intended to be a tool for collaborative research. The package is described in Marin-Franch and Swanson (2013) <doi:10.1167/13.4.10> and is part of the Open Perimetry Initiative (OPI) [Turpin, Artes, and McKendrick (2012) <doi:10.1167/12.11.22>].

The qda() function from package MASS is extended to calculate a weighted linear (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) by changing the group variances and group means based on cell-wise uncertainties. The uncertainties can be derived e.g. through relative errors for each individual measurement (cell), not only row-wise or column-wise uncertainties. The method can be applied compositional data (e.g. portions of substances, concentrations) and non-compositional data.

This package provides tools for viewscape analysis from one or multiple viewpoints using a digital surface or elevation model. Core functionality includes computing viewsheds, quantifying visual magnitude, calculating a suite of viewscape configuration metrics (extent, depth, relief, Sky View Factor, skyline variation, and patch-based landscape structure), Shannon Diversity Index and land cover feature proportions within the visible area, pairwise intervisibility networks, panoramic view generation, and visualizing results as rasters or polygons.

The viewshed algorithm is based on Franklin & Ray (1994) <https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:10680920> and Wang et al. (2000) <https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:131687018>. Visual magnitude is derived from Chamberlain & Meitner (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.landurbplan.2013.01.003>. Sky View Factor is computed following Oke (1981) <doi:10.1002/joc.3370010304> as implemented in the shadow package (Dorman et al. 2019) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2019-024>.

This package provides a user-friendly R shiny app for performing various statistical tests on datasets. It allows users to upload data in numerous formats and perform statistical analyses. The app dynamically adapts its options based on the selected columns and supports both single and multiple column comparisons. The app's user interface is designed to streamline the process of selecting datasets, columns, and test options, making it easy for users to explore and interpret their data. The underlying functions for statistical tests are well-organized and can be used independently within other R scripts.

Mainly data sets to accompany the VGAM package and the book "Vector Generalized Linear and Additive Models: With an Implementation in R" (Yee, 2015) <DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-2818-7>. These are used to illustrate vector generalized linear and additive models (VGLMs/VGAMs), and associated models (Reduced-Rank VGLMs, Quadratic RR-VGLMs, Row-Column Interaction Models, and constrained and unconstrained ordination models in ecology). This package now contains some old VGAM family functions which have been replaced by newer ones (often because they are now special cases).
