This package provides functions to find edges for bibliometric networks like bibliographic coupling network, co-citation network and co-authorship network. The weights of network edges can be calculated according to different methods, depending on the type of networks, the type of nodes, and what you want to analyse. These functions are optimized to be be used on large dataset. The package contains functions inspired by: Leydesdorff, Loet and Park, Han Woo (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2016.11.007>; Perianes-Rodriguez, Antonio, Ludo Waltman, and Nees Jan Van Eck (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2016.10.006>; Sen, Subir K. and Shymal K. Gan (1983) <http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/28008>; Shen, Si, Zhu, Danhao, Rousseau, Ronald, Su, Xinning and Wang, Dongbo (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2019.01.012>; Zhao, Dangzhi and Strotmann, Andreas (2008) <doi:10.1002/meet.2008.1450450292>.

Exploratory data analysis methods to summarize, visualize and describe datasets. The main principal component methods are available, those with the largest potential in terms of applications: principal component analysis (PCA) when variables are quantitative, correspondence analysis (CA) when variables are categorical, Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA) when variables are structured in groups.

Analysis of relative cell type proportions in bulk gene expression data. Provides a well-validated set of brain cell type-specific marker genes derived from multiple types of experiments, as described in McKenzie (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41598-018-27293-5>. For brain tissue data sets, there are marker genes available for astrocytes, endothelial cells, microglia, neurons, oligodendrocytes, and oligodendrocyte precursor cells, derived from each of human, mice, and combination human/mouse data sets. However, if you have access to your own marker genes, the functions can be applied to bulk gene expression data from any tissue. Also implements multiple options for relative cell type proportion estimation using these marker genes, adapting and expanding on approaches from the CellCODE R package described in Chikina (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv015>. The number of cell type marker genes used in a given analysis can be increased or decreased based on your preferences and the data set. Finally, provides functions to use the estimates to adjust for variability in the relative proportion of cell types across samples prior to downstream analyses.

Web service calls return a normalized result value instead of raising a condition, so a caller branches on data rather than on an error handler. Transport failure, a non-success status code, and an unreadable response body are reported as three distinct outcomes. Per-host circuit breaking, retry with a transient-failure predicate, optional throttling, redacted request headers, and a success-only cache come as defaults. Many questions to one source can be asked as a single batch, where only the entries the cache is missing reach the network. Service-specific knowledge is left to the client packages built on top. The circuit breaker is the pattern described in Nygard (2018, ISBN:9781680502398).

Bayesian estimations of a covariance matrix for multivariate normal data. Assumes that the covariance matrix is sparse or band matrix and positive-definite. Methods implemented include the beta-mixture shrinkage prior (Lee et al. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2022.105067>), screened beta-mixture prior (Lee et al. (2024) <doi:10.1214/24-BA1495>), and post-processed posteriors for banded and sparse covariances (Lee et al. (2023) <doi:10.1214/22-BA1333>; Lee and Lee (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2023.105475>). This software has been developed using funding supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea ('NRF') funded by the Ministry of Education ('RS-2023-00211979', NRF-2022R1A5A7033499', NRF-2020R1A4A1018207 and NRF-2020R1C1C1A01013338').

This package implements state-of-the-art algorithms for the Bayesian analysis of Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) identified by sign, zero, and narrative restrictions. The core model is based on a flexible Vector Autoregression with estimated hyper-parameters of the Minnesota prior and the dummy observation priors as in Giannone, Lenza, Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483> extended by the COVID-specific heteroskedasticity proposed by Lenza, Primiceri (2022) <doi:10.1002/jae.2895>. The sign restrictions are implemented employing the methods proposed by Rubio-Ramà rez, Waggoner & Zha (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-937X.2009.00578.x>, while identification through sign and zero restrictions follows the approach developed by Arias, Rubio-Ramà rez, & Waggoner (2018) <doi:10.3982/ECTA14468>. Furthermore, our toolset provides algorithms for identification via sign and narrative restrictions, in line with the methods introduced by Antolà n-Dà az and Rubio-Ramà rez (2018) <doi:10.1257/aer.20161852>. Users can also estimate a model with sign, zero, and narrative restrictions imposed at once. The package facilitates predictive and structural analyses using impulse responses, forecast error variance and historical decompositions, forecasting and conditional forecasting, as well as analyses of structural shocks and fitted values. All this is complemented by colourful plots, user-friendly summary functions, and comprehensive documentation including the vignette by Wang & Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.16711>. The bsvarSIGNs package is aligned regarding objects, workflows, and code structure with the R packages bsvars by Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvars>, bvars by Liu, Ramirez Hassan, Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bvars>, and bpvars by Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bpvars>, and they constitute an integrated toolset. It was granted the Di Cook Open-Source Statistical Software Award by the Statistical Society of Australia in 2024.

This package provides tools for pedigree quality control and genomic breed/line composition estimation in diploid and polyploid breeding populations. BIGpopA provides functions to check and correct common pedigree errors, assign parentage from SNP genotype data using Mendelian error rates, validate parent-offspring trios, and estimate genome-wide breed or line composition using quadratic programming. Pedigree validation and parentage assignment support any ploidy, using a polysomic Mendelian test for even ploidy and a homozygosity-based check for odd ploidy. For more details about the included breedTools functions, see Funkhouser et al. (2017) <doi:10.2527/tas2016.0003>.

Shows statistics about bytes contained in a file as a circle graph of deviations from mean in sigma increments. The function can be useful for statistically analyze the content of files in a glimpse: text files are shown as a green centered crown, compressed and encrypted files should be shown as equally distributed variations with a very low CV (sigma/mean), and other types of files can be classified between these two categories depending on their text vs binary content, which can be useful to quickly determine how information is stored inside them (databases, multimedia files, etc).

This package provides a user-friendly interactive Shiny interface for the BsplineQuantReg package, enabling quantile regression using B-splines with shape constraints, based on the method described in Abbes (2025). Almost all parameters of the main function quantile_spline() can be tuned. Features include interactive knot placement, per-region constraint specification, CSV data import, direct demo access, reproducible R code generation, and solver selection. The version 0.2.2 handles knots multiplicity, Bspline basis visualisation, mean-square regression, pp form visualisation under human readable form, in local or canonical bases, The GUI provides two modes, basic (compatible with BsplineQuantReg >= 0.2.2) and advanced (requires BsplineQuantReg >= 0.2.5 for stable multiplicity features). This GUI an improved version of the Python Tk version of BsplineQuantRegPy'.

Allows the user to apply the Bayes Linear approach to finite population with the Simple Random Sampling - BLE_SRS() - and the Stratified Simple Random Sampling design - BLE_SSRS() - (both without replacement), to the Ratio estimator (using auxiliary information) - BLE_Ratio() - and to categorical data - BLE_Categorical(). The Bayes linear estimation approach is applied to a general linear regression model for finite population prediction in BLE_Reg() and it is also possible to achieve the design based estimators using vague prior distributions. Based on Gonçalves, K.C.M, Moura, F.A.S and Migon, H.S.(2014) <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/catalogue/12-001-X201400111886>.
