This package provides a Bayesian framework for estimating distributed lag linear and non-linear models. Model fitting is implemented using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (R package INLA'), together with prediction and visualization of exposure-lag-response associations. Additional functions allow estimation of optimal exposure values (e.g., minimum mortality temperature) and computation of attributable fractions and numbers. Models with crossbasis or onebasis terms are supported (R package dlnm').

Investigating and visualising Bayesian Additive Regression Tree (BART) (Chipman, H. A., George, E. I., & McCulloch, R. E. 2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285> model fits. We construct conventional plots to analyze a modelâ s performance and stability as well as create new tree-based plots to analyze variable importance, interaction, and tree structure. We employ Value Suppressing Uncertainty Palettes (VSUP) to construct heatmaps that display variable importance and interactions jointly using colour scale to represent posterior uncertainty. Our visualisations are designed to work with the most popular BART R packages available, namely BART Rodney Sparapani and Charles Spanbauer and Robert McCulloch 2021 <doi:10.18637/jss.v097.i01>, dbarts (Vincent Dorie 2023) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=dbarts>, and bartMachine (Adam Kapelner and Justin Bleich 2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i04>.

Estimation of hierarchical Bayesian vector autoregressive models following Kuschnig & Vashold (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i14>. Implements hierarchical prior selection for conjugate priors in the fashion of Giannone, Lenza & Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483>. Functions to compute and identify impulse responses, calculate forecasts, forecast error variance decompositions and scenarios are available. Several methods to print, plot and summarise results facilitate analysis.

Audits published or draft plant breeding tables for internal arithmetic consistency. Analysis of variance tables, precision statistics and genetic variability parameters are jointly over-determined by exact algebraic identities; BKVerify recomputes every derivable quantity using rounding-interval arithmetic and reports a value as inconsistent only when no combination of values inside the reported rounding intervals can satisfy the identity. The package deliberately restricts itself to relationships that hold irrespective of which variance-component definition an author adopted, so that flagged results reflect arithmetic inconsistency rather than methodological disagreement. Implemented checks cover analysis of variance internal structure, coefficient of variation, standard error of mean and critical difference, the genetic advance identity of Johnson, Robinson and Comstock (1955) <doi:10.2134/agronj1955.00021962004700070009x>, the relation between genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation and broad-sense heritability, and admissibility of reported correlation matrices.

Explicit index life cycle helpers, stronger metadata validation, descriptor-aware file-backed workflows, and benchmark helpers are also included.

Unified and user-friendly framework for using new distributional representations of biosensors data in different statistical modeling tasks: regression models, hypothesis testing, cluster analysis, visualization, and descriptive analysis. Distributional representations are a functional extension of compositional time-range metrics and we have used them successfully so far in modeling glucose profiles and accelerometer data. However, these functional representations can be used to represent any biosensor data such as ECG or medical imaging such as fMRI. Matabuena M, Petersen A, Vidal JC, Gude F. "Glucodensities: A new representation of glucose profiles using distributional data analysis" (2021) <doi:10.1177/0962280221998064>.

An implementation of a collection of tools for exact Bayesian inference with discrete times series. This package contains functions that can be used for prediction, model selection, estimation, segmentation/change-point detection and other statistical tasks. Specifically, the functions provided can be used for the exact computation of the prior predictive likelihood of the data, for the identification of the a posteriori most likely (MAP) variable-memory Markov models, for calculating the exact posterior probabilities and the AIC and BIC scores of these models, for prediction with respect to log-loss and 0-1 loss and segmentation/change-point detection. Example data sets from finance, genetics, animal communication and meteorology are also provided. Detailed descriptions of the underlying theory and algorithms can be found in [Kontoyiannis et al. Bayesian Context Trees: Modelling and exact inference for discrete time series. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), April 2022. Available at: <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.14900> [stat.ME], July 2020] and [Lungu et al.

This package provides functions for the evaluation of basket trial designs with binary endpoints. Operating characteristics of a basket trial design are assessed by simulating trial data according to scenarios, analyzing the data with Bayesian hierarchical models (BHMs), and assessing decision probabilities on stratum and trial-level based on Go / No-go decision making. The package is build for high flexibility regarding decision rules, number of interim analyses, number of strata, and recruitment. The BHMs proposed by Berry et al. (2013) <doi:10.1177/1740774513497539> and Neuenschwander et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/pst.1730>, as well as a model that combines both approaches are implemented. Functions are provided to implement Bayesian decision rules as for example proposed by Fisch et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/2168479014533970>. In addition, posterior point estimates (mean/median) and credible intervals for response rates and some model parameters can be calculated. For simulated trial data, bias and mean squared errors of posterior point estimates for response rates can be provided.

This package provides methods for piecewise smooth regression. A piecewise smooth signal is estimated by applying a bootstrapped test recursively (binary segmentation approach). Each bootstrapped test decides whether the underlying signal is smooth on the currently considered subsegment or contains at least one further change-point.

This package implements bridge and MIDAS-style mixed-frequency models for nowcasting and forecasting macroeconomic variables by linking higher-frequency indicator variables to a lower-frequency target series. The package standardizes input data, infers regular frequencies, forecasts missing indicator observations, and aggregates indicators to the target frequency before fitting a regression with autoregressive target dynamics. Frequency alignment can be customized through user-supplied conversion rules. For more on bridge and MIDAS models, see Baffigi, A., Golinelli, R., & Parigi, G. (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0169-2070(03)00067-0>, Ghysels, Sinko, & Valkanov (2007) <doi:10.1080/07474930600972467>, Andreou, Ghysels, & Kourtellos (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2010.01.004>, Schumacher (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2015.07.004>, and Burri (2026) <doi:10.1111/obes.70073>.

This package provides a family of novel beta mixture models (BMMs) has been developed by Majumdar et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2211.01938> to appositely model the beta-valued cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites, to objectively identify methylation state thresholds and to identify the differentially methylated CpG (DMC) sites using a model-based clustering approach. The family of beta mixture models employs different parameter constraints applicable to different study settings. The EM algorithm is used for parameter estimation, with a novel approximation during the M-step providing tractability and ensuring computational feasibility.

Package for Bayesian Variable Selection and Model Averaging in linear models and generalized linear models using stochastic or deterministic sampling without replacement from posterior distributions. Prior distributions on coefficients are from Zellner's g-prior or mixtures of g-priors corresponding to the Zellner-Siow Cauchy Priors or the mixture of g-priors from Liang et al (2008) <DOI:10.1198/016214507000001337> for linear models or mixtures of g-priors from Li and Clyde (2019) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2018.1469992> in generalized linear models. Other model selection criteria include AIC, BIC and Empirical Bayes estimates of g. Sampling probabilities may be updated based on the sampled models using sampling w/out replacement or an efficient MCMC algorithm which samples models using a tree structure of the model space as an efficient hash table. See Clyde, Ghosh and Littman (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jcgs.2010.09049> for details on the sampling algorithms. Uniform priors over all models or beta-binomial prior distributions on model size are allowed, and for large p truncated priors on the model space may be used to enforce sampling models that are full rank. The user may force variables to always be included in addition to imposing constraints that higher order interactions are included only if their parents are included in the model.
