Detect and test for changes in covariance structures of functional data, as well as changepoint detection for multivariate data more generally. Method for detecting non-stationarity in resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans as seen in Ramsay, K., & Chenouri, S. (2025) <doi:10.1080/10485252.2025.2503891> is implemented in fmri_changepoints(). Also includes depth- and rank-based implementation of the wild binary segmentation algorithm for detecting multiple changepoints in multivariate data.

This package provides a set of tools to analyze texts. Includes, amongst others, functions for automatic language detection, hyphenation, several indices of lexical diversity (e.g., type token ratio, HD-D/vocd-D, MTLD) and readability (e.g., Flesch, SMOG, LIX, Dale-Chall). Basic import functions for language corpora are also provided, to enable frequency analyses (supports Celex and Leipzig Corpora Collection file formats) and measures like tf-idf. Note: For full functionality a local installation of TreeTagger is recommended. It is also recommended to not load this package directly, but by loading one of the available language support packages from the l10n repository <https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/l10n/>. koRpus also includes a plugin for the R GUI and IDE RKWard, providing graphical dialogs for its basic features. The respective R package rkward cannot be installed directly from a repository, as it is a part of RKWard. To make full use of this feature, please install RKWard from <https://rkward.kde.org> (plugins are detected automatically). Due to some restrictions on CRAN, the full package sources are only available from the project homepage. To ask for help, report bugs, request features, or discuss the development of the package, please subscribe to the koRpus-dev mailing list (<https://korpusml.reaktanz.de>).

Clustering typically assigns data points into discrete groups, but the clusters can sometimes be indistinct. Cluster sharpening adjusts an existing clustering to create contrast between groups. This package provides a general interface for cluster sharpening along with several implementations based on different excision criteria.

Collection of utility functions used in the KEHRA project (see http://www.brunel.ac.uk/ife/britishcouncil). It refers to the multidimensional analysis of air pollution, weather and health data.

Optimized for handling complex datasets in environmental and ecological research, this package offers functionality that is not fully met by general-purpose packages. It provides two key functions, summarize_data()', which summarizes datasets, and plot_means()', which creates plots with error bars. The plot_means() function incorporates error bars by default, allowing quick visualization of uncertainties, crucial in ecological studies. It also streamlines workflows for grouped datasets (e.g., by species or treatment), making it particularly user-friendly and reducing the complexity and time required for data summarization and visualization.

This package implements methods for clustering mixed-type data, specifically combinations of continuous and nominal data. Special attention is paid to the often-overlooked problem of equitably balancing the contribution of the continuous and categorical variables. This package implements KAMILA clustering, a novel method for clustering mixed-type data in the spirit of k-means clustering. It does not require dummy coding of variables, and is efficient enough to scale to rather large data sets. Also implemented is Modha-Spangler clustering, which uses a brute-force strategy to maximize the cluster separation simultaneously in the continuous and categorical variables. For more information, see Foss, Markatou, Ray, & Heching (2016) <doi:10.1007/s10994-016-5575-7> and Foss & Markatou (2018) <doi:10.18637/jss.v083.i13>.

It combines multi-objective decision analysis to measure purchasing characteristics and uses this information to place products and services within the Kraljic Matrix.

We developed a package Keyboard for designing single-agent, drug-combination, or phase I/II dose-finding clinical trials. The Keyboard designs are novel early phase trial designs that can be implemented simply and transparently, similar to the 3+3 design, but yield excellent performance, comparable to those of more-complicated, model-based designs (Yan F, Mandrekar SJ, Yuan Y (2017) <doi:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-17-0220>, Li DH, Whitmore JB, Guo W, Ji Y. (2017) <doi:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-16-1125>, Liu S, Johnson VE (2016) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxv040>, Zhou Y, Lee JJ, Yuan Y (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8475>, Pan H, Lin R, Yuan Y (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.cct.2020.105972>). The Keyboard package provides tools for designing, conducting, and analyzing single-agent, drug-combination, and phase I/II dose-finding clinical trials.

This package provides a novel implementation that solves the linear distance weighted discrimination and the kernel distance weighted discrimination. Reference: Wang and Zou (2018) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12244>.

The running statistics of interest is first extracted using a time window which is slid across the time series, and in each window, the running statistics value is computed. KCP (Kernel Change Point) detection proposed by Arlot et al. (2012) <arXiv:1202.3878> is then implemented to flag the change points on the running statistics (Cabrieto et al., 2018, <doi:10.1016/j.ins.2018.03.010>). Change points are located by minimizing a variance criterion based on the pairwise similarities between running statistics which are computed via the Gaussian kernel. KCP can locate change points for a given k number of change points. To determine the optimal k, the KCP permutation test is first carried out by comparing the variance of the running statistics extracted from the original data to that of permuted data. If this test is significant, then there is sufficient evidence for at least one change point in the data. Model selection is then used to determine the optimal k>0.

Given constraints for right censored data, we use a recursive computational algorithm to calculate the the "constrained" Kaplan-Meier estimator. The constraint is assumed given in linear estimating equations or mean functions. We also illustrate how this leads to the empirical likelihood ratio test with right censored data and accelerated failure time model with given coefficients. EM algorithm from emplik package is used to get the initial value. The properties and performance of the EM algorithm is discussed in Mai Zhou and Yifan Yang (2015)<doi: 10.1007/s00180-015-0567-9> and Mai Zhou and Yifan Yang (2017) <doi: 10.1002/wics.1400>. More applications could be found in Mai Zhou (2015) <doi: 10.1201/b18598>.

Implementation of trigonometric functions to calculate the exposure of flat, tilted surfaces, such as leaves and slopes, to direct solar radiation. It implements the equations in A.G. Escribano-Rocafort, A. Ventre-Lespiaucq, C. Granado-Yela, et al. (2014) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12141> in a few user-friendly R functions. All functions handle data obtained with Ahmes 1.0 for Android, as well as more traditional data sources (compass, protractor, inclinometer). The main function (star()) calculates the potential exposure of flat, tilted surfaces to direct solar radiation (silhouette to area ratio, STAR). It is equivalent to the ratio of the leaf projected area to total leaf area, but instead of using area data it uses spatial position angles, such as pitch, roll and course, and information on the geographical coordinates, hour, and date. The package includes additional functions to recalculate STAR with custom settings of location and time, to calculate the tilt angle of a surface, and the minimum angle between two non-orthogonal planes.

The proposed method aims at predicting the longitudinal mean response trajectory by a kernel-based estimator. The kernel estimator is constructed by imposing weights based on subject-wise similarity on L2 metric space between predictor trajectories as well as time proximity. Users could also perform variable selections to derive functional predictors with predictive significance by the proposed multiplicative model with multivariate Gaussian kernels.

Lake morphometry metrics are used by limnologists to understand, among other things, the ecological processes in a lake. Traditionally, these metrics are calculated by hand, with planimeters, and increasingly with commercial GIS products. All of these methods work; however, they are either outdated, difficult to reproduce, or require expensive licenses to use. The lakemorpho package provides the tools to calculate a typical suite of these metrics from an input elevation model and lake polygon. The metrics currently supported are: fetch, major axis, minor axis, major/minor axis ratio, maximum length, maximum width, mean width, maximum depth, mean depth, shoreline development, shoreline length, surface area, and volume.

This package provides a bioinformatics pipeline for performing taxonomic assignment of DNA metabarcoding sequence data while considering geographic location. A detailed tutorial is available at <https://urodelan.github.io/Local_Taxa_Tool_Tutorial/>. A manuscript describing these methods is in preparation.

Simulates categorical maps on actual geographical realms, starting from either empty landscapes or landscapes provided by the user (e.g. land use maps). Allows to tweak or create landscapes while retaining a high degree of control on its features, without the hassle of specifying each location attribute. In this it differs from other tools which generate null or neutral landscapes in a theoretical space. The basic algorithm currently implemented uses a simple agent style/cellular automata growth model, with no rules (apart from areas of exclusion) and von Neumann neighbourhood (four cells, aka Rook case). Outputs are raster dataset exportable to any common GIS format.

This package performs the trimmed k-means clustering algorithm with lower memory use. It also provides a number of utility functions such as BIC calculations.

An implementation of logistic normal multinomial (LNM) clustering. It is an extension of LNM mixture model proposed by Fang and Subedi (2020) <arXiv:2011.06682>, and is designed for clustering compositional data. The package includes 3 extended models: LNM Factor Analyzer (LNM-FA), LNM Bicluster Mixture Model (LNM-BMM) and Penalized LNM Factor Analyzer (LNM-FA). There are several advantages of LNM models: 1. LNM provides more flexible covariance structure; 2. Factor analyzer can reduce the number of parameters to estimate; 3. Bicluster can simultaneously cluster subjects and taxa, and provides significant biological insights; 4. Penalty term allows sparse estimation in the covariance matrix. Details for model assumptions and interpretation can be found in papers: Tu and Subedi (2021) <arXiv:2101.01871> and Tu and Subedi (2022) <doi:10.1002/sam.11555>.
