This package implements the fast cross-validation via sequential testing (CVST) procedure. CVST is an improved cross-validation procedure which uses non-parametric testing coupled with sequential analysis to determine the best parameter set on linearly increasing subsets of the data. Additionally to the CVST the package contains an implementation of the ordinary k-fold cross-validation with a flexible and powerful set of helper objects and methods to handle the overall model selection process. The implementations of the Cochran's Q test with permutations and the sequential testing framework of Wald are generic and can therefore also be used in other contexts.

Multi-binary response models are a class of models that allow for the estimation of multiple binary outcomes simultaneously. This package provides functions to estimate and simulate these models using the Discrete Exponential-Family Models [DEFM] framework. In it, we implement the models described in Vega Yon, Valente, and Pugh (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2211.00627>. DEFMs include Exponential-Family Random Graph Models [ERGMs], which characterize graphs using sufficient statistics, which is also the core of DEFMs. Using sufficient statistics, we can describe the data through meaningful motifs, for example, transitions between different states, joint distribution of the outcomes, etc.

We introduced a novel ensemble-based explainable machine learning model using Model Confidence Set (MCS) and two stage Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) algorithm. The model combined the predictive capabilities of different machine-learning models and integrates the interpretability of explainability methods. To develop the proposed algorithm, a two-stage Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) framework was employed. The package has been developed using the algorithm of Paul et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s40009-023-01218-x> and Yeasin and Paul (2024) <doi:10.1007/s11227-023-05542-3>.

The HMS (Hierarchic Memetic Strategy) is a composite global optimization strategy consisting of a multi-population evolutionary strategy and some auxiliary methods. The HMS makes use of a dynamically-evolving data structure that provides an organization among the component populations. It is a tree with a fixed maximal height and variable internal node degree. Each component population is governed by a particular evolutionary engine. This package provides a simple R implementation with examples of using different genetic algorithms as the population engines. References: J. Sawicki, M. Å oÅ , M. SmoÅ ka, J. Alvarez-Aramberri (2022) <doi:10.1007/s11047-020-09836-w>.

This package provides a framework package aimed to provide standardized computational environment for specialist work via object classes to represent the data coded by samples, taxa and segments (i.e. subpopulations, repeated measures). It supports easy processing of the data along with cross tabulation and relational data tables for samples and taxa. An object of class `mefa is a project specific compendium of the data and can be easily used in further analyses. Methods are provided for extraction, aggregation, conversion, plotting, summary and reporting of `mefa objects. Reports can be generated in plain text or LaTeX format. Vignette contains worked examples.

Features tools for the network data analysis and community detection. Provides multiple methods for fitting, model selection and goodness-of-fit testing in degree-corrected stochastic blocks models. Most of the computations are fast and scalable for sparse networks, esp. for Poisson versions of the models. Implements the following: Amini, Chen, Bickel and Levina (2013) <doi:10.1214/13-AOS1138> Bickel and Sarkar (2015) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12117> Lei (2016) <doi:10.1214/15-AOS1370> Wang and Bickel (2017) <doi:10.1214/16-AOS1457> Zhang and Amini (2020) <arXiv:2012.15047> Le and Levina (2022) <doi:10.1214/21-EJS1971>.

Automates many of the tasks associated with quantitative discourse analysis of transcripts containing discourse including frequency counts of sentence types, words, sentences, turns of talk, syllables and other assorted analysis tasks. The package provides parsing tools for preparing transcript data. Many functions enable the user to aggregate data by any number of grouping variables, providing analysis and seamless integration with other R packages that undertake higher level analysis and visualization of text. This affords the user a more efficient and targeted analysis. qdap is designed for transcript analysis, however, many functions are applicable to other areas of Text Mining/ Natural Language Processing.

This package provides a terribly-simple data base for numeric time series, written purely in R, so no external database-software is needed. Series are stored in plain-text files (the most-portable and enduring file type) in CSV format. Timestamps are encoded using R's native numeric representation for Date'/'POSIXct', which makes them fast to parse, but keeps them accessible with other software. The package provides tools for saving and updating series in this standardised format, for retrieving and joining data, for summarising files and directories, and for coercing series from and to other data types (such as zoo series).

ASEB is an R package to predict lysine sites that can be acetylated by a specific KAT (K-acetyl-transferases) family. Lysine acetylation is a well-studied posttranslational modification on kinds of proteins. About four thousand lysine acetylation sites and over 20 lysine KATs have been identified. However, which KAT is responsible for a given protein or lysine site acetylation is mostly unknown. In this package, we use a GSEA-like (Gene Set Enrichment Analysis) method to make predictions. GSEA method was developed and successfully used to detect coordinated expression changes and find the putative functions of the long non-coding RNAs.

Zero-variance control variates (ZV-CV) is a post-processing method to reduce the variance of Monte Carlo estimators of expectations using the derivatives of the log target. Once the derivatives are available, the only additional computational effort is in solving a linear regression problem. This method has been extended to higher dimensions using regularisation. This package can be used to easily perform ZV-CV or regularised ZV-CV when a set of samples, derivatives and function evaluations are available. Additional functions for applying ZV-CV to two estimators for the normalising constant of the posterior distribution in Bayesian statistics are also supplied.

This package provides utilities to calculate the probabilities of various dice-rolling events, such as the probability of rolling a four-sided die six times and getting a 4, a 3, and either a 1 or 2 among the six rolls (in any order); the probability of rolling two six-sided dice three times and getting a 10 on the first roll, followed by a 4 on the second roll, followed by anything but a 7 on the third roll; or the probabilities of each possible sum of rolling five six-sided dice, dropping the lowest two rolls, and summing the remaining dice.

This package contains methods for fitting Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and Generalized Additive Models (GAMs). Generalized regression models are common methods for handling data for which assuming Gaussian-distributed errors is not appropriate. For instance, if the response of interest is binary, count, or proportion data, one can instead model the expectation of the response based on an appropriate data-generating distribution. This package provides methods for fitting GLMs and GAMs under Beta regression, Poisson regression, Gamma regression, and Binomial regression (currently GLM only) settings. Models are fit using local scoring algorithms described in Hastie and Tibshirani (1990) <doi:10.1214/ss/1177013604>.

This package provides functions for fitting and doing predictions with Gaussian process models using Vecchia's (1988) approximation. Package also includes functions for reordering input locations, finding ordered nearest neighbors (with help from FNN package), grouping operations, and conditional simulations. Covariance functions for spatial and spatial-temporal data on Euclidean domains and spheres are provided. The original approximation is due to Vecchia (1988) <http://www.jstor.org/stable/2345768>, and the reordering and grouping methods are from Guinness (2018) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2018.1437476>. Model fitting employs a Fisher scoring algorithm described in Guinness (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1905.08374>.

Detailed functionality for working with the univariate and multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic distribution and its special cases (Hyperbolic (hyp), Normal Inverse Gaussian (NIG), Variance Gamma (VG), skewed Student-t and Gaussian distribution). Especially, it contains fitting procedures, an AIC-based model selection routine, and functions for the computation of density, quantile, probability, random variates, expected shortfall and some portfolio optimization and plotting routines as well as the likelihood ratio test. In addition, it contains the Generalized Inverse Gaussian distribution. See Chapter 3 of A. J. McNeil, R. Frey, and P. Embrechts. Quantitative risk management: Concepts, techniques and tools. Princeton University Press, Princeton (2005).

Analysis, imputation, and multiple imputation of count data using covariates. LORI uses a log-linear Poisson model where main row and column effects, as well as effects of known covariates and interaction terms can be fitted. The estimation procedure is based on the convex optimization of the Poisson loss penalized by a Lasso type penalty and a nuclear norm. LORI returns estimates of main effects, covariate effects and interactions, as well as an imputed count table. The package also contains a multiple imputation procedure. The methods are described in Robin, Josse, Moulines and Sardy (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2019.04.004>.

To account for non-stationary multivariate data, this package implements the framework including copula and marginal distributions. In addition to modeling and parameter estimations, it allows the computation and visualization of multivariate quantile curves for given events. This package is useful for a variety of disciplines such as finance, climatology and particularly for hydrological applications, where dependence structures and marginal parameters may vary over time. This framework, based on Chebana & Ouarda (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2020.125907>, integrates both multivariate and non-stationary aspects to be more accurate (e.g. for risk assessment) and more realistic (e.g. considering climate changes).

An embedded proximal interior point quadratic programming solver, which can solve dense and sparse quadratic programs, described in Schwan, Jiang, Kuhn, and Jones (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2304.00290>. Combining an infeasible interior point method with the proximal method of multipliers, the algorithm can handle ill-conditioned convex quadratic programming problems without the need for linear independence of the constraints. The solver is written in header only C++ 14 leveraging the Eigen library for vectorized linear algebra. For small dense problems, vectorized instructions and cache locality can be exploited more efficiently. Allocation free problem updates and re-solves are also provided.

The detection of troubling approximate collinearity in a multiple linear regression model is a classical problem in Econometrics. This package is focused on determining whether or not the degree of approximate multicollinearity in a multiple linear regression model is of concern, meaning that it affects the statistical analysis (i.e. individual significance tests) of the model. This objective is achieved by using the variance inflation factor redefined and the scatterplot between the variance inflation factor and the coefficient of variation.

This package implements algorithms for calculating microarray enrichment (ACME), and it is a set of tools for analysing tiling array of combined chromatin immunoprecipitation with DNA microarray (ChIP/chip), DNAse hypersensitivity, or other experiments that result in regions of the genome showing enrichment. It does not rely on a specific array technology (although the array should be a tiling array), is very general (can be applied in experiments resulting in regions of enrichment), and is very insensitive to array noise or normalization methods. It is also very fast and can be applied on whole-genome tiling array experiments quite easily with enough memory.

The purpose of this package is to discover the genes that are differentially expressed between two conditions in RNA-seq experiments. Gene expression is measured in counts of transcripts and modeled with the Negative Binomial (NB) distribution using a shrinkage approach for dispersion estimation. The method of moment (MM) estimates for dispersion are shrunk towards an estimated target, which minimizes the average squared difference between the shrinkage estimates and the initial estimates. The exact per-gene probability under the NB model is calculated, and used to test the hypothesis that the expected expression of a gene in two conditions identically follow a NB distribution.

Estimate, assess, test, and study linear, nonlinear, hierarchical and multigroup structural equation models using composite-based approaches and procedures, including estimation techniques such as partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) and its derivatives (PLSc, ordPLSc, robustPLSc), generalized structured component analysis (GSCA), generalized structured component analysis with uniqueness terms (GSCAm), generalized canonical correlation analysis (GCCA), principal component analysis (PCA), factor score regression (FSR) using sum score, regression or Bartlett scores (including bias correction using Croonâ s approach), as well as several tests and typical postestimation procedures (e.g., verify admissibility of the estimates, assess the model fit, test the model fit etc.).

Providing six different algorithms that can be used to split the available data into training, test and validation subsets with similar distribution for hydrological model developments. The dataSplit() function will help you divide the data according to specific requirements, and you can refer to the par.default() function to set the parameters for data splitting. The getAUC() function will help you measure the similarity of distribution features between the data subsets. For more information about the data splitting algorithms, please refer to: Chen et al. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2022.128340>, Zheng et al. (2022) <doi:10.1029/2021WR031818>.

Specify, solve, and estimate dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models by maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. Supports both linear models via an equation-based formula interface and nonlinear models via string-based equations with first-order perturbation (linearization around deterministic steady state). Solution uses the method of undetermined coefficients (Klein, 2000 <doi:10.1016/S0165-1889(99)00045-7>). Likelihood evaluated via the Kalman filter. Bayesian estimation uses adaptive Random-Walk Metropolis-Hastings with prior specification. Additional tools include Kalman smoothing, historical shock decomposition, local identification diagnostics, parameter sensitivity analysis, second-order perturbation, occasionally binding constraints, impulse-response functions, forecasting, and robust standard errors.
