This package provides fast spectral estimation of latent factors in random dot product graphs using the vsp estimator. Under mild assumptions, the vsp estimator is consistent for (degree-corrected) stochastic blockmodels, (degree-corrected) mixed-membership stochastic blockmodels, and degree-corrected overlapping stochastic blockmodels.

An R client for the vatcheckapi.com VAT number validation API. The API requires registration of an API key. Basic features are free, some require a paid subscription. You can find the full API documentation at <https://vatcheckapi.com/docs> .

This package implements a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method for estimation and prediction of Gaussian process-based spatially varying coefficient (SVC) models (Dambon et al. (2021a) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2020.100470>). Covariance tapering (Furrer et al. (2006) <doi:10.1198/106186006X132178>) can be applied such that the method scales to large data. Further, it implements a joint variable selection of the fixed and random effects (Dambon et al. (2021b) <doi:10.1080/13658816.2022.2097684>). The package and its capabilities are described in (Dambon et al. (2021c) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2106.02364>).

This package performs modeling and forecasting of park visitor counts using social media data and (partial) on-site visitor counts. Specifically, the model is built based on an automatic decomposition of the trend and seasonal components of the social media-based park visitor counts, from which short-term forecasts of the visitor counts and percent changes in the visitor counts can be made. A reference for the underlying model that VisitorCounts uses can be found at Russell Goebel, Austin Schmaltz, Beth Ann Brackett, Spencer A. Wood, Kimihiro Noguchi (2023) <doi:10.1002/for.2965> .

This package implements methods for inference on potential waning of vaccine efficacy and for estimation of vaccine efficacy at a user-specified time after vaccination based on data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled vaccine trial in which participants may be unblinded and placebo subjects may be crossed over to the study vaccine. The methods also allow adjustment for possible confounding via inverse probability weighting through specification of models for the trial entry process, unblinding mechanisms, and the probability an unblinded placebo participant accepts study vaccine: Tsiatis, A. A. and Davidian, M. (2022) <doi:10.1111/biom.13509>.

This package provides easy-to-use tools for data analysis and visualization for hyperspectral remote sensing (also known as imaging spectroscopy), with a particular focus on vegetation hyperspectral data analysis.

This package implements an entropy-informed pipeline for detecting emerging variants in viral amino acid sequence data, extending prior clustering-based approaches including hemagglutinin clustering methods (Li et al., 2015) <doi:10.1142/9789814667944_0018>. Provides a fully vectorized FASTA preprocessing toolkit covering header parsing, two-pass date and country extraction, ambiguous-residue filtering, and integer encoding under a 25-symbol amino acid alphabet. Computes per-site Shannon entropy across user-defined cumulative, sliding, or disjoint temporal partitions and clusters per-site entropy values using Gaussian mixture models via mclust (Scrucca et al., 2016) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2016-021>. Quantifies temporal distributional shifts between partitions using the Hellinger distance (van der Vaart, 1998) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511802256>, and detects temporal change points non-parametrically using energy statistics (Matteson and James, 2014) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2013.849605> via ecp or wild binary segmentation (Fryzlewicz, 2014) <doi:10.1214/14-AOS1245> via HDcpDetect'. Per-site amino-acid frequency tables and entropy trajectory plots characterize sequence composition and evolutionary dynamics across time. A configurable multi-variant simulation engine generates synthetic sequence time series with known ground truth for benchmarking detection pipelines. A curated dataset of SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern and Variants of Interest with associated lineage and surveillance metadata is included, along with a bundled National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Spike protein sample and vignettes demonstrating the full workflow.

Tools for estimation, selection and exploratory data analysis of bivariate copula models are also provided.

The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model is a macroscale hydrologic model that solves full water and energy balances, originally developed by Xu Liang at the University of Washington (UW). The version of VIC source code used is of 5.0.1 on <https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/>, see Hamman et al. (2018). Development and maintenance of the current official version of the VIC model at present is led by the UW Hydro (Computational Hydrology group) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UW. VIC is a research model and in its various forms it has been applied to most of the major river basins around the world, as well as globally <http://vic.readthedocs.io/en/master/Documentation/References/>.

This package provides numerous functions to fill data. These can be applied either to missing or skewed data. The functions are designed within the scope of Student Analytics.

This package provides a set of functions for generating HTML to embed hosted video in your R Markdown documents or Shiny applications.

Predicate helper functions for testing atomic vectors in R. All functions take a single argument x and check whether it's of the target type of base-R atomic vector (i.e. no class extensions nor attributes other than names'), returning TRUE or FALSE. Some additionally check for value (e.g. absence of missing values, infinities, blank characters, or names attribute; or having length 1).

Generates interactive plots for analysing and visualising three-class high dimensional data. It is particularly suited to visualising differences in continuous attributes such as gene/protein/biomarker expression levels between three groups. Differential gene/biomarker expression analysis between two classes is typically shown as a volcano plot. However, with three groups this type of visualisation is particularly difficult to interpret. This package generates 3D volcano plots and 3-way polar plots for easier interpretation of three-class data.

Static and dynamic 3D plots to be used with ordination results and in diversity analysis, especially with the vegan package.

Comprehensive set of tools for analyzing and manipulating functional data with non-uniform lengths. This package addresses two common scenarios in functional data analysis: Variable Domain Data, where the observation domain differs across samples, and Partially Observed Data, where observations are incomplete over the domain of interest. VDPO enhances the flexibility and applicability of functional data analysis in R'. See Amaro et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2401.05839>, Hernandez-Amaro et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.26917>, and Hernandez-Amaro et al. (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2605.03633>.

This package provides the vcd2df function, which loads a IEEE 1364-1995/2001 VCD (.vcd) file, specified as a parameter of type string containing exactly a file path, and returns an R dataframe containing values over time. A VCD file captures the register values at discrete timepoints from a simulated trace of execution of a hardware design in Verilog or VHDL. The returned dataframe contains a row for each register, by name, and a column for each time point, specified VCD-style using octothorpe-prefixed multiples of the timescale as strings. The only non-trivial implementation details are that (1) VCD x and z non-numerical values are encoded as negative value -1 (as otherwise all bit values are positive) and (2) registers with repeated names in distinct modules are ignored, rather than duplicated, as we anticipate these registers to have the same values.
