This package provides functions for the Bayesian analysis of extreme value models, using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Allows the construction of both uninformative and informed prior distributions for common statistical models applied to extreme event data, including the generalized extreme value distribution.

Interactive tools to explore topographic-like data sets. Such data sets take the form of a matrix in which the rows and columns provide location/frequency information, and the matrix elements contain altitude/response information. Such data is found in cartography, 2D spectroscopy and chemometrics. The functions in this package create interactive web pages showing the contoured data, possibly with slices from the original matrix parallel to each dimension. The interactive behavior is created using the D3.js JavaScript library by Mike Bostock.

The extended neighbourhood rule for the k nearest neighbour ensemble where the neighbours are determined in k steps. Starting from the first nearest observation of the test point, the algorithm identifies a single observation that is closest to the observation at the previous step. At each base learner in the ensemble, this search is extended to k steps on a random bootstrap sample with a random subset of features selected from the feature space. The final predicted class of the test point is determined by using a majority vote in the predicted classes given by all base models.

This package provides a tool which allows users to create and evaluate ensembles of species distribution model (SDM) predictions. Functionality is offered through R functions or a GUI (R Shiny app). This tool can assist users in identifying spatial uncertainties and making informed conservation and management decisions. The package is further described in Woodman et al (2019) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13283>.

Speed up common tasks, particularly logical or relational comparisons and routine follow up tasks such as finding the indices and subsetting. Inspired by mathematics, where something like: 3 < x < 6 is a standard, elegant and clear way to assert that x is both greater than 3 and less than 6 (see for example <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_operator>), a chaining operator is implemented. The chaining operator, %c%, allows multiple relational operations to be used in quotes on the right hand side for the same object, on the left hand side. The %e% operator allows something like set-builder notation (see for example <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-builder_notation>) to be used on the right hand side. All operators have built in prefixes defined for all, subset, and which to reduce the amount of code needed for common tasks, such as return those values that are true.

Biotracers and stomach content analyses are combined in a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate a probabilistic topology matrix (all trophic link probabilities) and a diet matrix (all diet proportions). The package relies on the JAGS software and the jagsUI package to run a Markov chain Monte Carlo approximation of the different variables.

Simulating multi-arm cluster-randomized, multi-site, and simple randomized trials. Includes functions for conducting multilevel analyses using both Bayesian and Frequentist methods. Supports futility and superiority analyses through Bayesian approaches, along with visualization tools to aid interpretation and presentation of results.

Power analysis is used in the estimation of sample sizes for experimental designs. Most programs and R packages will only output the highest recommended sample size to the user. Often the user input can be complicated and computing multiple power analyses for different treatment comparisons can be time consuming. This package simplifies the user input and allows the user to view all of the sample size recommendations or just the ones they want to see. The calculations used to calculate the recommended sample sizes are from the pwr package.

This package provides functions that support estimating, assessing and mapping regional disaggregated indicators. So far, estimation methods comprise direct estimation, the model-based unit-level approach Empirical Best Prediction (see "Small area estimation of poverty indicators" by Molina and Rao (2010) <doi:10.1002/cjs.10051>), the area-level model (see "Estimates of income for small places: An application of James-Stein procedures to Census Data" by Fay and Herriot (1979) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482505>) and various extensions of it (adjusted variance estimation methods, log and arcsin transformation, spatial, robust and measurement error models), as well as their precision estimates. The assessment of the used model is supported by a summary and diagnostic plots. For a suitable presentation of estimates, map plots can be easily created. Furthermore, results can easily be exported to excel. For a detailed description of the package and the methods used see "The R Package emdi for Estimating and Mapping Regionally Disaggregated Indicators" by Kreutzmann et al. (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i07> and the second package vignette "A Framework for Producing Small Area Estimates Based on Area-Level Models in R".

Estimation of fully and partially observed Exponential-Family Random Network Models (ERNM).

This package implements stochastic simulations of community assembly (ecological diversification) using customizable ecospace frameworks (functional trait spaces). Provides a wrapper to calculate common ecological disparity and functional ecology statistical dynamics as a function of species richness. Functions are written so they will work in a parallel-computing environment.

Generates feature matrix outputs from R object inputs using a variety of expansion functions. The generated feature matrices have applications as inputs for a variety of machine learning algorithms. The expansion functions are based on coercing the input to a matrix, treating the columns as features and converting individual columns or combinations into blocks of columns. Currently these include expansion of columns by efficient sparse embedding by vectors of lags, quadratic expansion into squares and unique products, powers by vectors of degree, vectors of orthogonal polynomials functions, and block random affine projection transformations (RAPTs). The transformations are magrittr- and cbind-friendly, and can be used in a building block fashion. For instance, taking the cos() of the output of the RAPT transformation generates a stationary kernel expansion via Bochner's theorem, and this expansion can then be cbind-ed with other features. Additionally, there are utilities for replacing features, removing rows with NAs, creating matrix samples of a given distribution, a simple wrapper for LASSO with CV, a Freeman-Tukey transform, generalizations of the outer function, matrix size-preserving discrete difference by row, plotting, etc.

Conduct numerous exploratory analyses in an instant with a point-and-click interface. With one simple command, this tool launches a Shiny App on the local machine. Drag and drop variables in a data set to categorize them as possible independent, dependent, moderating, or mediating variables. Then run dozens (or hundreds) of analyses instantly to uncover any statistically significant relationships among variables. Any relationship thus uncovered should be tested in follow-up studies. This tool is designed only to facilitate exploratory analyses and should NEVER be used for p-hacking. Many of the functions used in this package are previous versions of functions in the R Packages kim and ezr'. Selected References: Chang et al. (2021) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=shiny>.
