An implementation of a taxonomy of models of restricted diffusion in biological tissues parametrized by the tissue geometry (axis, diameter, density, etc.). This is primarily used in the context of diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to model the MR signal attenuation in the presence of diffusion gradients. The goal is to provide tools to simulate the MR signal attenuation predicted by these models under different experimental conditions. The package feeds a companion shiny app available at <https://midi-pastrami.apps.math.cnrs.fr> that serves as a graphical interface to the models and tools provided by the package. Models currently available are the ones in Neuman (1974) <doi:10.1063/1.1680931>, Van Gelderen et al. (1994) <doi:10.1006/jmrb.1994.1038>, Stanisz et al. (1997) <doi:10.1002/mrm.1910370115>, Soderman & Jonsson (1995) <doi:10.1006/jmra.1995.0014> and Callaghan (1995) <doi:10.1006/jmra.1995.1055>.

Count data is prevalent and informative, with widespread application in many fields such as social psychology, personality, and public health. Classical statistical methods for the analysis of count outcomes are commonly variants of the log-linear model, including Poisson regression and Negative Binomial regression. However, a typical problem with count data modeling is inflation, in the sense that the counts are evidently accumulated on some integers. Such an inflation problem could distort the distribution of the observed counts, further bias estimation and increase error, making the classic methods infeasible. Traditional inflated value selection methods based on histogram inspection are easy to neglect true points and computationally expensive in addition. Therefore, we propose a multiple-inflated negative binomial model to handle count data modeling with multiple inflated values, achieving data-driven inflated value selection. The proposed approach provides simultaneous identification of important regression predictors on the target count response as well. More details about the proposed method are described in Li, Y., Wu, M., Wu, M., & Ma, S. (2023) <arXiv:2309.15585>.

Multivariate Information-based Inductive Causation, better known by its acronym MIIC, is a causal discovery method, based on information theory principles, which learns a large class of causal or non-causal graphical models from purely observational data, while including the effects of unobserved latent variables. Starting from a complete graph, the method iteratively removes dispensable edges, by uncovering significant information contributions from indirect paths, and assesses edge-specific confidences from randomization of available data. The remaining edges are then oriented based on the signature of causality in observational data. The recent more interpretable MIIC extension (iMIIC) further distinguishes genuine causes from putative and latent causal effects, while scaling to very large datasets (hundreds of thousands of samples). Since the version 2.0, MIIC also includes a temporal mode (tMIIC) to learn temporal causal graphs from stationary time series data. MIIC has been applied to a wide range of biological and biomedical data, such as single cell gene expression data, genomic alterations in tumors, live-cell time-lapse imaging data (CausalXtract), as well as medical records of patients. MIIC brings unique insights based on causal interpretation and could be used in a broad range of other data science domains (technology, climatology, economy, ...).

Classify missing data as missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR), or missing not at random (MNAR). This step is required before handling missing data (e.g. mean imputation) so that bias is not introduced.
