This package implements the Hierarchical Incremental GRAdient Descent (HiGrad) algorithm, a first-order algorithm for finding the minimizer of a function in online learning just like stochastic gradient descent (SGD). In addition, this method attaches a confidence interval to assess the uncertainty of its predictions. See Su and Zhu (2018) <arXiv:1802.04876> for details.

R interface for H2O', the scalable open source machine learning platform that offers parallelized implementations of many supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms such as Generalized Linear Models (GLM), Gradient Boosting Machines (including XGBoost), Random Forests, Deep Neural Networks (Deep Learning), Stacked Ensembles, Naive Bayes, Generalized Additive Models (GAM), ANOVA GLM, Cox Proportional Hazards, K-Means, PCA, ModelSelection, Word2Vec, as well as a fully automatic machine learning algorithm (H2O AutoML).

An implementation of several Hierarchical Ensemble Methods (HEMs) for Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). HEMDAG package: 1) reconciles flat predictions with the topology of the ontology; 2) can enhance the predictions of virtually any flat learning methods by taking into account the hierarchical relationships between ontology classes; 3) provides biologically meaningful predictions that always obey the true-path-rule, the biological and logical rule that governs the internal coherence of biomedical ontologies; 4) is specifically designed for exploiting the hierarchical relationships of DAG-structured taxonomies, such as the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) or the Gene Ontology (GO), but can be safely applied to tree-structured taxonomies as well (as FunCat), since trees are DAGs; 5) scales nicely both in terms of the complexity of the taxonomy and in the cardinality of the examples; 6) provides several utility functions to process and analyze graphs; 7) provides several performance metrics to evaluate HEMs algorithms.

Raster based flood modelling internally using hyd1d', an R package to interpolate 1d water level and gauging data. The package computes flood extent and duration through strategies originally developed for INFORM', an ArcGIS'-based hydro-ecological modelling framework. It does not provide a full, physical hydraulic modelling algorithm, but a simplified, near real time GIS approach for flood extent and duration modelling. Computationally demanding annual flood durations have been computed already and data products were published by Weber (2022) <doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.948042>.

This algorithm is described in detail in the paper "Hedging Forecast Combinations With an Application to the Random Forest" by Beck et al. (2024) <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5032102>. The package provides a function hedgedrf() that can be used to train a Hedged Random Forest model on a dataset, and a function predict.hedgedrf() that can be used to make predictions with the model.

Cellular responses to perturbations are highly heterogeneous and depend largely on the initial state of cells. Connecting post-perturbation cells via cellular trajectories to untreated cells (e.g. by leveraging metabolic labeling information) enables exploitation of intercellular heterogeneity as a combined knock-down and overexpression screen to identify pathway modulators, termed Heterogeneity-seq (see Berg et al <doi:10.1101/2024.10.28.620481>). This package contains functions to generate cellular trajectories based on scSLAM-seq (single-cell, thiol-(SH)-linked alkylation of RNA for metabolic labelling sequencing) time courses, functions to identify pathway modulators and to visualize the results.

Perform Hi-C data differential analysis based on pixel-level differential analysis and a post hoc inference strategy to quantify signal in clusters of pixels. Clusters of pixels are obtained through a connectivity-constrained two-dimensional hierarchical clustering.

An algorithm for flexible conditional density estimation based on application of pooled hazard regression to an artificial repeated measures dataset constructed by discretizing the support of the outcome variable. To facilitate flexible estimation of the conditional density, the highly adaptive lasso, a non-parametric regression function shown to estimate cadlag (RCLL) functions at a suitably fast convergence rate, is used. The use of pooled hazards regression for conditional density estimation as implemented here was first described for by DÃ az and van der Laan (2011) <doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1356>. Building on the conditional density estimation utilities, non-parametric inverse probability weighted (IPW) estimators of the causal effects of additive modified treatment policies are implemented, using conditional density estimation to estimate the generalized propensity score. Non-parametric IPW estimators based on this can be coupled with undersmoothing of the generalized propensity score estimator to attain the semi-parametric efficiency bound (per Hejazi, DÃ az, and van der Laan <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2205.05777>).

This package provides a set of functions to estimate haziness of an image based on RGB bands. It returns a haze factor, varying from 0 to 1, a metric for fogginess and cloudiness. The package also presents additional functions to estimate brightness, darkness and contrast rasters of the RGB image. This package can be used for several applications such as inference of weather quality data and performing environmental studies from interpreting digital images.

Historical borrowing in clinical trials can improve precision and operating characteristics. This package supports a longitudinal hierarchical model to borrow historical control data from other studies to better characterize the control response of the current study. It also quantifies the amount of borrowing through longitudinal benchmark models (independent and pooled). The hierarchical model approach to historical borrowing is discussed by Viele et al. (2013) <doi:10.1002/pst.1589>.

Allows users to create time series of tropical storm exposure histories for chosen counties for a number of hazard metrics (wind, rain, distance from the storm, etc.). This package interacts with data available through the hurricaneexposuredata package, which is available in a drat repository. To access this data package, see the instructions at <https://github.com/geanders/hurricaneexposure>. The size of the hurricaneexposuredata package is approximately 20 MB. This work was supported in part by grants from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (R00ES022631), the National Science Foundation (1331399), and a NASA Applied Sciences Program/Public Health Program Grant (NNX09AV81G).

We provide an R tool for computation and nonparametric plug-in estimation of Highest Density Regions (HDRs) and general level sets in the directional setting. Concretely, circular and spherical HDRs can be reconstructed from a data sample following Saavedra-Nieves and Crujeiras (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11634-021-00457-4>. This library also contains two real datasets in the circular and spherical settings. The first one concerns a problem from animal orientation studies and the second one is related to earthquakes occurrences.

Published meta-analyses routinely present one of the measures of heterogeneity introduced in Higgins and Thompson (2002) <doi:10.1002/sim.1186>. For critiquing articles it is often better to convert to another of those measures. Some conversions are provided here and confidence intervals are also available.

Efficient sampling from high-dimensional truncated Gaussian distributions, or multivariate truncated normal (MTN). Techniques include zigzag Hamiltonian Monte Carlo as in Akihiko Nishimura, Zhenyu Zhang and Marc A. Suchard (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2395587>, and harmonic Monte in Ari Pakman and Liam Paninski (2014) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2013.788448>.

This package contains functions for hidden Markov models with observations having extra zeros as defined in the following two publications, Wang, T., Zhuang, J., Obara, K. and Tsuruoka, H. (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12194>; Wang, T., Zhuang, J., Buckby, J., Obara, K. and Tsuruoka, H. (2018) <doi:10.1029/2017JB015360>. The observed response variable is either univariate or bivariate Gaussian conditioning on presence of events, and extra zeros mean that the response variable takes on the value zero if nothing is happening. Hence the response is modelled as a mixture distribution of a Bernoulli variable and a continuous variable. That is, if the Bernoulli variable takes on the value 1, then the response variable is Gaussian, and if the Bernoulli variable takes on the value 0, then the response is zero too. This package includes functions for simulation, parameter estimation, goodness-of-fit, the Viterbi algorithm, and plotting the classified 2-D data. Some of the functions in the package are based on those of the R package HiddenMarkov by David Harte. This updated version has included an example dataset and R code examples to show how to transform the data into the objects needed in the main functions. We have also made changes to increase the speed of some of the functions.

This package implements the simpler and faster heat index, which matches the values of the original 1979 heat index and its 2022 extension for air temperatures above 300 K (27 C, 80 F) and with only minor differences at lower temperatures. Also implements an algorithm for calculating the thermodynamic (and psychrometric) wet-bulb (and ice-bulb) temperature.

This package implements the high-dimensional two-sample test proposed by Zhang (2019) <http://hdl.handle.net/2097/40235>. It also implements the test proposed by Srivastava, Katayama, and Kano (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2012.08.014>. These tests are particularly suitable to high dimensional data from two populations for which the classical multivariate Hotelling's T-square test fails due to sample sizes smaller than dimensionality. In this case, the ZWL and ZWLm tests proposed by Zhang (2019) <http://hdl.handle.net/2097/40235>, referred to as zwl_test() in this package, provide a reliable and powerful test.

Miscellaneous convenience functions and wrapper functions to convert frequencies between Hz, semitones, mel and Bark, to create a matrix of dummy columns from a factor, to determine whether x lies in range [a,b], and to add a bracketed line to an existing plot. This package also contains an example data set of a stratified sample of 80 talkers of Dutch.

Implementation of multiple approaches to perform inference in high-dimensional models.

Aimed at applying the Harvest classification tree algorithm, modified algorithm of classic classification tree.The harvested tree has advantage of deleting redundant rules in trees, leading to a simplify and more efficient tree model.It was firstly used in drug discovery field, but it also performs well in other kinds of data, especially when the region of a class is disconnected. This package also improves the basic harvest classification tree algorithm by extending the field of data of algorithm to both continuous and categorical variables. To learn more about the harvest classification tree algorithm, you can go to http://www.stat.ubc.ca/Research/TechReports/techreports/220.pdf for more information.
