This package implements maximum likelihood and bootstrap methods based on the diversity-dependent birth-death process to test whether speciation or extinction are diversity-dependent, under various models including various types of key innovations. See Etienne et al. 2012, Proc. Roy. Soc. B 279: 1300-1309, <DOI:10.1098/rspb.2011.1439>, Etienne & Haegeman 2012, Am. Nat. 180: E75-E89, <DOI:10.1086/667574>, Etienne et al. 2016. Meth. Ecol.

This package provides a concise check of the format of one or multiple input arguments (data type, length or value) is provided. Since multiple input arguments can be tested simultaneously, a lengthly list of checks at the beginning of your function can be avoided, hereby enhancing the readability and maintainability of your code.

Efficiently and flexibly preprocess data using a set of data filtering, deletion, and interpolation tools. These data preprocessing methods are developed based on the principles of completeness, accuracy, threshold method, and linear interpolation and through the setting of constraint conditions, time completion & recovery, and fast & efficient calculation and grouping. Key preprocessing steps include deletions of variables and observations, outlier removal, and missing values (NA) interpolation, which are dependent on the incomplete and dispersed degrees of raw data. They clean data more accurately, keep more samples, and add no outliers after interpolation, compared with ordinary methods. Auto-identification of consecutive NA via run-length based grouping is used in observation deletion, outlier removal, and NA interpolation; thus, new outliers are not generated in interpolation. Conditional extremum is proposed to realize point-by-point weighed outlier removal that saves non-outliers from being removed. Plus, time series interpolation with values to refer to within short periods further ensures reliable interpolation. These methods are based on and improved from the reference: Liang, C.-S., Wu, H., Li, H.-Y., Zhang, Q., Li, Z. & He, K.-B. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140923>.

Computes discrete fast Fourier transform of river discharge data and the derived metrics. The methods are described in J. L. Sabo, D. M. Post (2008) <doi:10.1890/06-1340.1> and J. L. Sabo, A. Ruhi, G. W. Holtgrieve, V. Elliott, M. E. Arias, P. B. Ngor, T. A. Räsänsen, S. Nam (2017) <doi:10.1126/science.aao1053>.

This MCMC method takes a data numeric vector (Y) and assigns the elements of Y to a (potentially infinite) number of normal distributions. The individual normal distributions from a mixture of normals can be inferred. Following the method described in Escobar (1994) <doi:10.2307/2291223> we use a Dirichlet Process Prior (DPP) to describe stochastically our prior assumptions about the dimensionality of the data.

This package provides tools to estimate and manage empirical distributions, which should work with survey data. One of the main features is the possibility to create data cubes of estimated statistics, that include all the combinations of the variables of interest (see for example functions dcc5() and dcc6()).

Details about the methodology and data can be found in Diewert and Fox (2018) <doi:10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190226718.013.19> and Zeng, Parsons, Diewert and Fox (2018) <https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/research-site/centreforappliedeconomicresearch-site/Documents/emg2018-6_SZeng_EMG-Slides.pdf>.

This package provides a dimension reduction technique for outlier detection. DOBIN: a Distance based Outlier BasIs using Neighbours, constructs a set of basis vectors for outlier detection. This is not an outlier detection method; rather it is a pre-processing method for outlier detection. It brings outliers to the fore-front using fewer basis vectors (Kandanaarachchi, Hyndman 2020) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1807353>.

This package performs the drifting Markov models (DMM) which are non-homogeneous Markov models designed for modeling the heterogeneities of sequences in a more flexible way than homogeneous Markov chains or even hidden Markov models. In this context, we developed an R package dedicated to the estimation, simulation and the exact computation of associated reliability of drifting Markov models. The implemented methods are described in Vergne, N. (2008), <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1326> and Barbu, V.S., Vergne, N. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11009-018-9682-8> .

Similarity of dissolution profiles is assessed using the similarity factor f2 according to the EMA guideline (European Medicines Agency 2010) "On the investigation of bioequivalence". Dissolution profiles are regarded as similar if the f2 value is between 50 and 100. For the applicability of the similarity factor f2, the variability between profiles needs to be within certain limits. Often, this constraint is violated. One possibility in this situation is to resample the measured profiles in order to obtain a bootstrap estimate of f2 (Shah et al. (1998) <doi:10.1023/A:1011976615750>). Other alternatives are the model-independent non-parametric multivariate confidence region (MCR) procedure (Tsong et al. (1996) <doi:10.1177/009286159603000427>) or the T2-test for equivalence procedure (Hoffelder (2016) <https://www.ecv.de/suse_item.php?suseId=Z|pi|8430>). Functions for estimation of f1, f2, bootstrap f2, MCR / T2-test for equivalence procedure are implemented.

This package is built in support of Yeomans (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.obhdp.2020.10.008>, which reviews linguistic models of concreteness in several domains. Here, we provide an implementation of the best-performing domain-general model (from Brysbaert et al., (2014) <doi:10.3758/s13428-013-0403-5>) as well as two pre-trained models for the feedback and plan-making domains.
