Create a hierarchical acoustic event species classifier out of multiple call type detectors as described in Rankin et al (2017) <doi:10.1111/mms.12381>.

The blocked weighted bootstrap (BBW) is an estimation technique for use with data from two-stage cluster sampled surveys in which either prior weighting (e.g. population-proportional sampling or PPS as used in Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions or SMART surveys) or posterior weighting (e.g. as used in rapid assessment method or RAM and simple spatial sampling method or S3M surveys) is implemented. See Cameron et al (2008) <doi:10.1162/rest.90.3.414> for application of bootstrap to cluster samples. See Aaron et al (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0163176> and Aaron et al (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0162462> for application of the blocked weighted bootstrap to estimate indicators from two-stage cluster sampled surveys.

Disaggregates an observed aggregate price index into sectoral components with a Bayesian state-space model in which the aggregate enters as a genuine observation density rather than as a renormalization identity. A random-walk-with-drift transition in log space (with partial pooling on the drift and the innovation scale) and an estimable cross-sectional concentration produce posterior draws of the sectoral indices with credible intervals, suitable as multiple-imputation input for downstream dynamic models. The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo engine follows Stan (Carpenter et al., 2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01>; model comparison uses Pareto Smoothed Importance Sampling Leave-One-Out cross-validation (Vehtari, Gelman and Gabry, 2017) <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9696-4>. A closed-form linear-Gaussian Kalman/RTS smoother provides an exact, MCMC-free Bayesian alternative for the same aggregate evidence.

This package provides a ggplot2 centric approach to bivariate mapping. This is a technique that maps two quantities simultaneously rather than the single value that most thematic maps display. The package provides a suite of tools for calculating breaks using multiple different approaches, a selection of palettes appropriate for bivariate mapping and scale functions for ggplot2 calls that adds those palettes to maps. Tools for creating bivariate legends are also included.

Bayesian models are used to estimate effect sizes (e.g., gene expression changes, protein abundance differences, drug response effects) while accounting for uncertainty, small sample sizes, and complex experimental designs. However, Bayesian posteriors of models with many parameters are often difficult to interpret at a glance. One way to quickly identify important biological changes based on frequentist analysis are volcano plots (using fold-changes and p-values). Bayesian volcano plots bring together the explicit treatment of uncertainty in Bayesian models and the familiar visualization of volcano plots.

This package provides an implementation of the product partition model described in Barry and Hartigan (2019) <doi:10.2307/2290726> for the normal errors change point problem using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). It also extends the methodology to regression models on a connected graph as reported in Wang and Emerson (2015) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1509.00817>, allowing estimation of change point models with multivariate responses. Parallel MCMC, previously available in bcp v.3.0.0, is currently not implemented.

Bayesian Additive Regression Kernels (BARK) provides an implementation for non-parametric function estimation using Levy Random Field priors for functions that may be represented as a sum of additive multivariate kernels. Kernels are located at every data point as in Support Vector Machines, however, coefficients may be heavily shrunk to zero under the Cauchy process prior, or even, set to zero. The number of active features is controlled by priors on precision parameters within the kernels, permitting feature selection. For more details see Ouyang, Z (2008) "Bayesian Additive Regression Kernels", Duke University. PhD dissertation, Chapter 3 and Wolpert, R. L, Clyde, M.A, and Tu, C. (2011) "Stochastic Expansions with Continuous Dictionaries Levy Adaptive Regression Kernels, Annals of Statistics Vol (39) pages 1916-1962 <doi:10.1214/11-AOS889>.

This package provides tools for statistical analysis using the binscatter methods developed by Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2024) <https://nppackages.github.io/references/Cattaneo-Crump-Farrell-Feng_2024_AER.pdf>, Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2025) <https://nppackages.github.io/references/Cattaneo-Crump-Farrell-Feng_2025_Stata.pdf> and Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2026) <https://nppackages.github.io/references/Cattaneo-Crump-Farrell-Feng_2026_RESTAT.pdf>. Binscatter provides a flexible way of describing the relationship between two variables based on partitioning/binning of the independent variable of interest. binsreg(), binsqreg() and binsglm() implement binscatter least squares regression, quantile regression and generalized linear regression respectively, with particular focus on constructing binned scatter plots. They also implement robust (pointwise and uniform) inference of regression functions and derivatives thereof. binstest() implements hypothesis testing procedures for parametric functional forms of and nonparametric shape restrictions on the regression function. binspwc() implements hypothesis testing procedures for pairwise group comparison of binscatter estimators. binsregselect() implements data-driven procedures for selecting the number of bins for binscatter estimation. All the commands allow for covariate adjustment, smoothness restrictions and clustering.

This package provides a Bayesian latent space model for complex networks, either weighted or unweighted. Given an observed input graph, the estimates for the latent coordinates of the nodes are obtained through a Bayesian MCMC algorithm. The overall likelihood of the graph depends on a fundamental probability equation, which is defined so that ties are more likely to exist between nodes whose latent space coordinates are close. The package is mainly based on the model by Hoff, Raftery and Handcock (2002) <doi:10.1198/016214502388618906> and contains some extra features (e.g., removal of the Procrustean step, weights implemented as coefficients of the latent distances, 3D plots). The original code related to the above model was retrieved from <https://www.stat.washington.edu/people/pdhoff/Code/hoff_raftery_handcock_2002_jasa/>. Users can inspect the MCMC simulation, create and customize insightful graphical representations or apply clustering techniques.

This package provides functions to estimate latent dimensions of choice and judgment using Aldrich-McKelvey and Blackbox scaling methods, as described in Poole et al. (2016, <doi:10.18637/jss.v069.i07>). These techniques allow researchers (particularly those analyzing political attitudes, public opinion, and legislative behavior) to recover spatial estimates of political actors ideal points and stimuli from issue scale data, accounting for perceptual bias, multidimensional spaces, and missing data. The package uses singular value decomposition and alternating least squares (ALS) procedures to scale self-placement and perceptual data into a common latent space for the analysis of ideological or evaluative dimensions. Functionality also include tools for assessing model fit, handling complex survey data structures, and reproducing simulated datasets for methodological validation.

BAYesian inference for MEDical designs in R. Functions for the computation of Bayes factors for common biomedical research designs. Implemented are functions to test the equivalence (equiv_bf), non-inferiority (infer_bf), and superiority (super_bf) of an experimental group compared to a control group on a continuous outcome measure, as well as functions for simulating survival data and calculating a Bayes factor for Cox proportional hazards models. Bayes factors for these tests can be computed based on raw data or summary statistics.

Can be used to read and write a fwf with an accompanying Blaise datamodel. Blaise is the software suite built by Statistics Netherlands (CBS). It is essentially a way to write and collect surveys and perform statistical analysis on the data. It stores its data in fixed width format with an accompanying metadata file, this is the Blaise format. The package automatically interprets this metadata and reads the file into an R dataframe. When supplying a datamodel for writing, the dataframe will be automatically converted to that format and checked for compatibility. Supports dataframes, tibbles and LaF objects. For more information about Blaise', see <https://blaise.com/products/general-information>.
