Fast and easy computation of Euclidean Minimum Spanning Trees (EMST) from data, relying on the R API for mlpack - the C++ Machine Learning Library (Curtin et. al., 2013). emstreeR uses the Dual-Tree Boruvka (March, Ram, Gray, 2010, <doi:10.1145/1835804.1835882>), which is theoretically and empirically the fastest algorithm for computing an EMST. This package also provides functions and an S3 method for readily visualizing Minimum Spanning Trees (MST) using either the style of the base', scatterplot3d', or ggplot2 libraries; and functions to export the MST output to shapefiles.

This package performs a compact genetic algorithm search to reduce errors-in-variables bias in linear regression. The algorithm estimates the regression parameters with lower biases and higher variances but mean-square errors (MSEs) are reduced.

An ensemble method for the statistical detection of a rare class in two-class classification problems. The method uses an ensemble of classifiers where the constituent models of the ensemble use disjoint subsets (phalanxes) of explanatory variables. We provide an implementation of the phalanx-formation algorithm. Please see Tomal et al. (2015) <doi:10.1214/14-AOAS778>, Tomal et al. (2016) <doi:10.1021/acs.jcim.5b00663>, and Tomal et al. (2019) <arXiv:1706.06971> for more details.

An implementation of 1) the tail pairwise dependence matrix (TPDM) as described in Jiang & Cooley (2020) <doi:10.1175/JCLI-D-19-0413.1> 2) the extremal pattern index (EPI) as described in Szemkus & Friederichs ('Spatial patterns and indices for heatwave and droughts over Europe using a decomposition of extremal dependency'; submitted to ASCMO 2023).

Provide an optimal histogram, in the sense of probability density estimation and features detection, by means of multiscale variational inference. In other words, the resulting histogram servers as an optimal density estimator, and meanwhile recovers the features, such as increases or modes, with both false positive and false negative controls. Moreover, it provides a parsimonious representation in terms of the number of blocks, which simplifies data interpretation. The only assumption for the method is that data points are independent and identically distributed, so it applies to fairly general situations, including continuous distributions, discrete distributions, and mixtures of both. For details see Li, Munk, Sieling and Walther (2016) <arXiv:1612.07216>.

This package provides a variety of methods are provided to estimate and visualize distributional differences in terms of effect sizes. Particular emphasis is upon evaluating differences between two or more distributions across the entire scale, rather than at a single point (e.g., differences in means). For example, Probability-Probability (PP) plots display the difference between two or more distributions, matched by their empirical CDFs (see Ho and Reardon, 2012; <doi:10.3102/1076998611411918>), allowing for examinations of where on the scale distributional differences are largest or smallest. The area under the PP curve (AUC) is an effect-size metric, corresponding to the probability that a randomly selected observation from the x-axis distribution will have a higher value than a randomly selected observation from the y-axis distribution. Binned effect size plots are also available, in which the distributions are split into bins (set by the user) and separate effect sizes (Cohen's d) are produced for each bin - again providing a means to evaluate the consistency (or lack thereof) of the difference between two or more distributions at different points on the scale. Evaluation of empirical CDFs is also provided, with built-in arguments for providing annotations to help evaluate distributional differences at specific points (e.g., semi-transparent shading). All function take a consistent argument structure. Calculation of specific effect sizes is also possible. The following effect sizes are estimable: (a) Cohen's d, (b) Hedges g, (c) percentage above a cut, (d) transformed (normalized) percentage above a cut, (e) area under the PP curve, and (f) the V statistic (see Ho, 2009; <doi:10.3102/1076998609332755>), which essentially transforms the area under the curve to standard deviation units. By default, effect sizes are calculated for all possible pairwise comparisons, but a reference group (distribution) can be specified.

This package performs frequentist inference for the extremal index of a stationary time series. Two types of methodology are used. One type is based on a model that relates the distribution of block maxima to the marginal distribution of series and leads to the semiparametric maxima estimators described in Northrop (2015) <doi:10.1007/s10687-015-0221-5> and Berghaus and Bucher (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-AOS1621>. Sliding block maxima are used to increase precision of estimation. A graphical block size diagnostic is provided. The other type of methodology uses a model for the distribution of threshold inter-exceedance times (Ferro and Segers (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00401>). Three versions of this type of approach are provided: the iterated weight least squares approach of Suveges (2007) <doi:10.1007/s10687-007-0034-2>, the K-gaps model of Suveges and Davison (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS292> and a similar approach of Holesovsky and Fusek (2020) <doi:10.1007/s10687-020-00374-3> that we refer to as D-gaps. For the K-gaps and D-gaps models this package allows missing values in the data, can accommodate independent subsets of data, such as monthly or seasonal time series from different years, and can incorporate information from right-censored inter-exceedance times. Graphical diagnostics for the threshold level and the respective tuning parameters K and D are provided.

Analysis and visualization of similarities between epilepsy ontologies based on text mining results by comparing ranked lists of co-occurring drug terms in the BioASQ corpus. The ranked result lists of neurological drug terms co-occurring with terms from the epilepsy ontologies EpSO, ESSO, EPILONT, EPISEM and FENICS undergo further analysis. The source data to create the ranked lists of drug names is produced using the text mining workflows described in Mueller, Bernd and Hagelstein, Alexandra (2016) <doi:10.4126/FRL01-006408558>, Mueller, Bernd et al. (2017) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-58694-6_22>, Mueller, Bernd and Rebholz-Schuhmann, Dietrich (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-43887-6_52>, and Mueller, Bernd et al.

This package provides a non-parametric framework based on estimation statistics principle. Its main purpose is to infer orders of empirical distributions from different categories based on a probability of finding a value in one distribution that is greater than an expectation of another distribution. Given a set of ordered-pair of real-category values the framework is capable of 1) inferring orders of domination of categories and representing orders in the form of a graph; 2) estimating magnitude of difference between a pair of categories in forms of mean-difference confidence intervals; and 3) visualizing domination orders and magnitudes of difference of categories. The publication of this package is at Chainarong Amornbunchornvej, Navaporn Surasvadi, Anon Plangprasopchok, and Suttipong Thajchayapong (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.heliyon.2020.e05435>.

This package provides statistical methods for estimating bivariate dependency (correlation) from marginal summary statistics across multiple studies. The package supports three modules: (1) bivariate correlation estimation for binary outcomes, (2) bivariate correlation estimation for continuous outcomes, and (3) estimation of component-wise means and variances under a conditional two-component Gaussian mixture model for a continuous variable stratified by a binary class label. These methods enable privacy-preserving joint estimation when individual-level data are unavailable. The approaches are detailed in Shang, Tsao, and Zhang (2025a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.03995> and Shang, Tsao, and Zhang (2025b) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2508.02057>.
