Estimates the Dyad Ratios Algorithm for pooling and smoothing poll estimates. The Dyad Ratios Algorithm smooths both forward and backward in time over polling results allowing differences in both question type and polling house. The result is an estimate of a single latent variable that describes the systematic trend over time in the (noisy) polling results. See James A. Stimson (2018) <doi:10.1177/0759106318761614> and the package's vignette for more details.

This package provides a modular package for measuring disparity (multidimensional space occupancy). Disparity can be calculated from any matrix defining a multidimensional space. The package provides a set of implemented metrics to measure properties of the space and allows users to provide and test their own metrics. The package also provides functions for looking at disparity in a serial way (e.g. disparity through time) or per groups as well as visualising the results. Finally, this package provides several statistical tests for disparity analysis.

Attempt to repair inconsistencies and missing values in data records by using information from valid values and validation rules restricting the data.

Gumbel distribution functions (De Haan L. (2007) <doi:10.1007/0-387-34471-3>) implemented with the techniques of automatic differentiation (Griewank A. (2008) <isbn:978-0-89871-659-7>). With this tool, a user should be able to quickly model extreme events for which the Gumbel distribution is the domain of attraction. The package makes available the density function, the distribution function the quantile function and a random generating function. In addition, it supports gradient functions. The package combines Adept (C++ templated automatic differentiation) (Hogan R. (2017) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.1004730>) and Eigen (templated matrix-vector library) for fast computations of both objective functions and exact gradients. It relies on RcppEigen for easy access to Eigen and bindings to R.

Probability mass function, distribution function, quantile function, random generation and parameter estimation for the type I and III discrete Weibull distributions.

Inference functionalities for distributed-lag linear structural equation models (DLSEMs). DLSEMs are Markovian structural causal models where each factor of the joint probability distribution is a distributed-lag linear regression with constrained lag shapes (Magrini, 2018 <doi:10.2478/bile-2018-0012>; Magrini et al., 2019 <doi:10.1007/s11135-019-00855-z>). DLSEMs account for temporal delays in the dependence relationships among the variables through a single parameter per covariate, thus allowing to perform dynamic causal inference in a feasible fashion. Endpoint-constrained quadratic, quadratic decreasing, linearly decreasing and gamma lag shapes are available.

An open, multi-algorithmic pipeline for easy, fast and efficient analysis of cellular sub-populations and the molecular signatures that characterize them. The pipeline consists of four successive steps: data pre-processing, cellular clustering with pseudo-temporal ordering, defining differential expressed genes and biomarker identification.

An implementation of common statistical analysis and models with differential privacy (Dwork et al., 2006a) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14> guarantees. The package contains, for example, functions providing differentially private computations of mean, variance, median, histograms, and contingency tables. It also implements some statistical models and machine learning algorithms such as linear regression (Kifer et al., 2012) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v23/kifer12.html> and SVM (Chaudhuri et al., 2011) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v12/chaudhuri11a.html>. In addition, it implements some popular randomization mechanisms, including the Laplace mechanism (Dwork et al., 2006a) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14>, Gaussian mechanism (Dwork et al., 2006b) <doi:10.1007/11761679_29>, analytic Gaussian mechanism (Balle & Wang, 2018) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v80/balle18a.html>, and exponential mechanism (McSherry & Talwar, 2007) <doi:10.1109/FOCS.2007.66>.

Define a spatial Area of Interest (AOI) around a constructed dam using hydrology data. Dams have environmental and social impacts, both positive and negative. Current analyses of dams have no consistent way to specify at what spatial extent we should evaluate these impacts. damAOI implements methods to adjust reservoir polygons to match satellite-observed surface water areas, plot upstream and downstream rivers using elevation data and accumulated river flow, and draw buffers clipped by river basins around reservoirs and relevant rivers. This helps to consistently determine the areas which could be impacted by dam construction, facilitating comparative analysis and informed infrastructure investments.

The Ditwah storm began impacting Sri Lanka on 25 November 2025. Ditwah provides a collection of tidy, well-structured datasets to support storm data management, monitoring, and early warning applications in Sri Lanka. The publicly available data were converted to tidy data format for easy analysis. The package processes weather data, flood data and situation report data (families affected, etc.). The package also includes functions for analyzing river level progression and load dashboard visualizations to enhance situational awareness. This is also developed for educational purposes to support learning in data wrangling, visualization, and disaster analytics.

This package provides tools to apply Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) for cyclostratigraphy purposes. Mainly: a new algorithm, extricate, that performs EEMD in seconds, a linear interpolation algorithm using the greatest rational common divisor of depth or time, different algorithms to compute instantaneous amplitude, frequency and ratios of frequencies, and functions to verify and visualise the outputs. The functions were developed during the CRASH project (Checking the Reproducibility of Astrochronology in the Hauterivian).
