Several statistical methods for analyzing survival data under various forms of dependent censoring are implemented in the package. In addition to accounting for dependent censoring, it offers tools to adjust for unmeasured confounding factors. The implemented approaches allow users to estimate the dependency between survival time and dependent censoring time, based solely on observed survival data. For more details on the methods, refer to Deresa and Van Keilegom (2021) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa095>, Czado and Van Keilegom (2023) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asac067>, Crommen et al.

Create disposable R packages for testing. You can create, install and load multiple R packages with a single function call, and then unload, uninstall and destroy them with another function call. This is handy when testing how some R code or an R package behaves with respect to other packages.

Concept drift refers to the change in the data distribution or in the relationships between variables over time. drifter calculates distances between variable distributions or variable relations and identifies both types of drift. Key functions are: calculate_covariate_drift() checks distance between corresponding variables in two datasets, calculate_residuals_drift() checks distance between residual distributions for two models, calculate_model_drift() checks distance between partial dependency profiles for two models, check_drift() executes all checks against drift. drifter is a part of the DrWhy.AI universe (Biecek 2018) <arXiv:1806.08915>.

Distributed Online Goodness-of-Fit Test can process the distributed datasets. The philosophy of the package is described in Guo G.(2024) <doi:10.1016/j.apm.2024.115709>.

Joint DNA-based disaster victim identification (DVI), as described in Vigeland and Egeland (2021) <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-296414/v1>. Identification is performed by optimising the joint likelihood of all victim samples and reference individuals. Individual identification probabilities, conditional on all available information, are derived from the joint solution in the form of posterior pairing probabilities. dvir is part of the pedsuite collection of packages for pedigree analysis.

This package provides a system for the management, assessment, and psychometric analysis of data from educational and psychological tests.

This package provides convenient methods for accessing the data in dist objects with minimal memory and computational overhead. disttools can be used to extract the distance between any pair or combination of points encoded by a dist object using only the indices of those points. This is an improvement over existing functionality, which requires either coercing a dist object into a matrix or calculating the one dimensional index corresponding to a pair of observations. Coercion to a matrix is undesirable because doing so doubles the amount of memory required for storage. In contrast, there is no inherent downside to the latter solution. However, in part due to several edge cases, correctly and efficiently implementing such a solution can be challenging. disttools abstracts away these challenges and provides a simple interface to access the data in a dist object using the latter approach.

Calculates the T-Statistic for the drift burst hypothesis from the working paper Christensen, Oomen and Reno (2018) <DOI:10.2139/ssrn.2842535>. The authors MATLAB code is available upon request, see: <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2842535>.

Deep Gaussian mixture models as proposed by Viroli and McLachlan (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11222-017-9793-z> provide a generalization of classical Gaussian mixtures to multiple layers. Each layer contains a set of latent variables that follow a mixture of Gaussian distributions. To avoid overparameterized solutions, dimension reduction is applied at each layer by way of factor models.

In practice, we will encounter problems where the longitudinal performance of processes needs to be monitored over time. Dynamic screening systems (DySS) are methods that aim to identify and give signals to processes with poor performance as early as possible. This package is designed to implement dynamic screening systems and the related methods. References: Qiu, P. and Xiang, D. (2014) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2013.822423>; Qiu, P. and Xiang, D.

This package provides friendly wrappers for creating duckdb'-backed connections to tabular datasets ('csv', parquet, etc) on local or remote file systems. This mimics the behaviour of "open_dataset" in the arrow package, but in addition to S3 file system also generalizes to any list of http URLs.

This package provides functions for (1) ranking, selecting, and prioritising genes, proteins, and metabolites from high dimensional biology experiments, (2) multivariate hit calling in high content screens, and (3) combining data from diverse sources.

This package provides constrained triangulation of polygons. Ear cutting (or ear clipping) applies constrained triangulation by successively cutting triangles from a polygon defined by path/s. Holes are supported by introducing a bridge segment between polygon paths. This package wraps the header-only library earcut.hpp <https://github.com/mapbox/earcut.hpp> which includes a reference to the method used by Held, M. (2001) <doi:10.1007/s00453-001-0028-4>.

This package provides methods for working with nominal dates, times, and durations. Base R has sophisticated facilities for handling time, but these can give unexpected results if, for example, timezone is not handled properly. This package provides a more casual approach to support cases which do not require rigorous treatment. It systematically deconstructs the concepts origin and timezone, and de-emphasizes the display of seconds. It also converts among nominal durations such as seconds, hours, days, and weeks. See ?datetime and ?duration for examples. Adapted from metrumrg <http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1215>.

Empirical Bayes methods for learning prior distributions from data. An unknown prior distribution (g) has yielded (unobservable) parameters, each of which produces a data point from a parametric exponential family (f). The goal is to estimate the unknown prior ("g-modeling") by deconvolution and Empirical Bayes methods. Details and examples are in the paper by Narasimhan and Efron (2020, <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i11>).
