The main goal of the psycho package is to provide tools for psychologists, neuropsychologists and neuroscientists, to facilitate and speed up the time spent on data analysis. It aims at supporting best practices and tools to format the output of statistical methods to directly paste them into a manuscript, ensuring statistical reporting standardization and conformity.

An assortment of functions that could be useful in analyzing data from psychophysical experiments. It includes functions for calculating d from several different experimental designs, links for m-alternative forced-choice (mafc) data to be used with the binomial family in glm (and possibly other contexts) and self-Start functions for estimating gamma values for CRT screen calibrations.

This package provides a number of functions to simplify and automate the scoring, comparison, and evaluation of different ways of creating composites of data. It is particularly aimed at facilitating the creation of physiological composites of metabolic syndrome symptom score (MetSSS) and allostatic load (AL). Provides a wrapper to calculate the MetSSS on new data using the Healthy Hearts formula.

This package contains the core methods for the evaluation of principal surrogates in a single clinical trial. Provides a flexible interface for defining models for the risk given treatment and the surrogate, the models for integration over the missing counterfactual surrogate responses, and the estimation methods. Estimated maximum likelihood and pseudo-score can be used for estimation, and the bootstrap for inference. A variety of post-estimation summary methods are provided, including print, summary, plot, and testing.

The propensity score is one of the most widely used tools in studying the causal effect of a treatment, intervention, or policy. Given that the propensity score is usually unknown, it has to be estimated, implying that the reliability of many treatment effect estimators depends on the correct specification of the (parametric) propensity score. This package implements the data-driven nonparametric diagnostic tools for detecting propensity score misspecification proposed by Sant'Anna and Song (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2019.02.002>.

Estimating causal effects in the presence of post-treatment confounding using principal stratification. PStrata allows for customized monotonicity assumptions and exclusion restriction assumptions, with automatic full Bayesian inference supported by Stan'. The main function to use in this package is PStrata(), which provides posterior estimates of principal causal effect with uncertainty quantification. Visualization tools are also provided for diagnosis and interpretation. See Liu and Li (2023) <arXiv:2304.02740> for details.

Compute detailed and aggregated performance spectrum for event data. The detailed performance spectrum describes the event data in terms of segments, where the performance of each segment is measured and plotted for any occurrences of this segment over time and can be classified, e.g., regarding the overall population. The aggregated performance spectrum visualises the amount of cases of particular performance over time. Denisov, V., Fahland, D., & van der Aalst, W. M. P. (2018) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-98648-7_9>.

This package provides a unified and user-friendly framework for applying the principal sufficient dimension reduction methods for both linear and nonlinear cases. The package has an extendable power by varying loss functions for the support vector machine, even for an user-defined arbitrary function, unless those are convex and differentiable everywhere over the support (Li et al. (2011) <doi:10.1214/11-AOS932>). Also, it provides a real-time sufficient dimension reduction update procedure using the principal least squares support vector machine (Artemiou et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.patcog.2020.107768>).

Presentation of distributions such as: two-piece power normal (TPPN), plasticizing component (PC), DS normal (DSN), expnormal (EN), Sulewski plasticizing component (SPC), easily changeable kurtosis (ECK) distributions. Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation are presented. For details on this method see: Sulewski (2019) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2019.1674871>, Sulewski (2021) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2020.1837881>, Sulewski (2021) <doi:10.1134/S1995080221120337>, Sulewski (2022) <"New members of the Johnson family of probability dis-tributions: properties and application">, Sulewski, Volodin (2022) <doi:10.1134/S1995080222110270>, Sulewski (2023) <doi:10.17713/ajs.v52i3.1434>.

It is often advantageous to test a hypothesis more than once in the context of propensity score analysis (Rosenbaum, 2012) <doi:10.1093/biomet/ass032>. The functions in this package facilitate bootstrapping for propensity score analysis (PSA). By default, bootstrapping using two classification tree methods (using rpart and ctree functions), two matching methods (using Matching and MatchIt packages), and stratification with logistic regression. A framework is described for users to implement additional propensity score methods. Visualizations are emphasized for diagnosing balance; exploring the correlation relationships between bootstrap samples and methods; and to summarize results.

Supports propensity score weighting analysis of observational studies and randomized trials. Enables the estimation and inference of average causal effects with binary and multiple treatments using overlap weights (ATO), inverse probability of treatment weights (ATE), average treatment effect among the treated weights (ATT), matching weights (ATM) and entropy weights (ATEN), with and without propensity score trimming. These weights are members of the family of balancing weights introduced in Li, Morgan and Zaslavsky (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1260466> and Li and Li (2019) <doi:10.1214/19-AOAS1282>.

The constructs used to study the human psychology have many definitions and corresponding instructions for eliciting and coding qualitative data pertaining to constructs content and for measuring the constructs. This plethora of definitions and instructions necessitates unequivocal reference to specific definitions and instructions in empirical and secondary research. This package implements a human- and machine-readable standard for specifying construct definitions and instructions for measurement and qualitative research based on YAML'. This standard facilitates systematic unequivocal reference to specific construct definitions and corresponding instructions in a decentralized manner (i.e. without requiring central curation; Peters (2020) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/xebhn>).

Estimation and inference of spatial and spatio-temporal semiparametric models including spatial or spatio-temporal non-parametric trends, parametric and non-parametric covariates and, possibly, a spatial lag for the dependent variable and temporal correlation in the noise. The spatio-temporal trend can be decomposed in ANOVA way including main and interaction functional terms. Use of SAP algorithm to estimate the spatial or spatio-temporal trend and non-parametric covariates. The methodology of these models can be found in next references Basile, R. et al. (2014), <doi:10.1016/j.jedc.2014.06.011>; Rodriguez-Alvarez, M.X. et al.

Returns almost all features that has been extracted from Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) so far, which is a matrix of L rows (L is protein length) and 20 columns produced by PSI-BLAST which is a program to produce PSSM Matrix from multiple sequence alignment of proteins see <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK2590/> for mor details. some of these features are described in Zahiri, J., et al.(2013) <DOI:10.1016/j.ygeno.2013.05.006>, Saini, H., et al.(2016) <DOI:10.17706/jsw.11.8.756-767>, Ding, S., et al.(2014) <DOI:10.1016/j.biochi.2013.09.013>, Cheng, C.W., et al.(2008) <DOI:10.1186/1471-2105-9-S12-S6>, Juan, E.Y., et al.(2009) <DOI:10.1109/CISIS.2009.194>.

This package implements estimation and testing procedures for evaluating an intermediate biomarker response as a principal surrogate of a clinical response to treatment (i.e., principal stratification effect modification analysis), as described in Juraska M, Huang Y, and Gilbert PB (2020), Inference on treatment effect modification by biomarker response in a three-phase sampling design, Biostatistics, 21(3): 545-560 <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy074>. The methods avoid the restrictive placebo structural risk modeling assumption common to past methods and further improve robustness by the use of nonparametric kernel smoothing for biomarker density estimation. A randomized controlled two-group clinical efficacy trial is assumed with an ordered categorical or continuous univariate biomarker response measured at a fixed timepoint post-randomization and with a univariate baseline surrogate measure allowed to be observed in only a subset of trial participants with an observed biomarker response (see the flexible three-phase sampling design in the paper for details). Bootstrap-based procedures are available for pointwise and simultaneous confidence intervals and testing of four relevant hypotheses. Summary and plotting functions are provided for estimation results.
