These analyses include the convertion of student response into binaty data (correct/incorrect), the computation of the number of corrected responses and grade for each subject, the calculation of item difficulty and discrimination, the computation of the frecuency and point-biserial correlation for each distractor and the graphical analysis of each item.

This package provides two record linkage data sets on the Italian Survey on Household and Wealth, 2008 and 2010, a sample survey conducted by the Bank of Italy every two years. The 2010 survey covered 13,702 individuals, while the 2008 survey covered 13,734 individuals. The following categorical variables are included in this data set: year of birth, working status, employment status, branch of activity, town size, geographical area of birth, sex, whether or not Italian national, and highest educational level obtained. Unique identifiers are available to assess the accuracy of oneâ s method. Please see Steorts (2015) <DOI:10.1214/15-BA965SI> to find more details about the data set.

When added to an existing shiny app, users may subset any developer-chosen R data.frame on the fly. That is, users are empowered to slice & dice data by applying multiple (order specific) filters using the AND (&) operator between each, and getting real-time updates on the number of rows effected/available along the way. Thus, any downstream processes that leverage this data source (like tables, plots, or statistical procedures) will re-render after new filters are applied. The shiny moduleâ s user interface has a minimalist aesthetic so that the focus can be on the data & other visuals. In addition to returning a reactive (filtered) data.frame, IDEAFilter as also returns dplyr filter statements used to actually slice the data.

This package provides a tiny parser to extract mass spectra data and metadata table of mass spectrometry acquisition properties from mzML, mzXML and netCDF files introduced in <doi:10.1021/acs.jproteome.2c00120>.

Reconstruct birth-year specific probabilities of immune imprinting to influenza A, using the methods of Gostic et al. (2016) <doi:10.1126/science.aag1322>. Plot, save, or export the calculated probabilities for use in your own research. By default, the package calculates subtype-specific imprinting probabilities, but with user-provided frequency data, it is possible to calculate probabilities for arbitrary kinds of primary exposure to influenza A, including primary vaccination and exposure to specific clades, strains, etc.

An efficient and incremental approach for calculating the differences in orbit counts when performing single edge modifications in a network. Calculating the differences in orbit counts is much more efficient than recalculating all orbit counts from scratch for each time point.

Estimates weights to make a continuous-valued exposure statistically independent of a vector of pre-treatment covariates using the method proposed in Huling, Greifer, and Chen (2021) <arxiv:2107.07086>.

Imputing blockwise missing data by imprecise imputation, featuring a domain-based, variable-wise, and case-wise strategy. Furthermore, the estimation of lower and upper bounds for unconditional and conditional probabilities based on the obtained imprecise data is implemented. Additionally, two utility functions are supplied: one to check whether variables in a data set contain set-valued observations; and another to merge two already imprecisely imputed data. The method is described in a technical report by Endres, Fink and Augustin (2018, <doi:10.5282/ubm/epub.42423>).

Interpreting the differences between mean scale scores across various forms of an assessment can be challenging. This difficulty arises from different mappings between raw scores and scale scores, complex mathematical relationships, adjustments based on judgmental procedures, and diverse equating functions applied to different assessment forms. An alternative method involves running simulations to explore the effect of incrementing raw scores on mean scale scores. The idmact package provides an implementation of this approach based on the algorithm detailed in Schiel (1998) <https://www.act.org/content/dam/act/unsecured/documents/ACT_RR98-01.pdf> which was developed to help interpret differences between mean scale scores on the American College Testing (ACT) assessment. The function idmact_subj() within the package offers a framework for running simulations on subject-level scores. In contrast, the idmact_comp() function provides a framework for conducting simulations on composite scores.

This package provides tools for manipulating, visualizing, and exporting raster images in R. Designed as an educational resource for students learning the basics of remote sensing, the package provides user-friendly functions to apply color ramps, export RGB composites, and create multi-frame visualizations. Built on top of the terra and ggplot2 packages. See <https://github.com/ducciorocchini/imageRy> for more details and examples.

Automates the identification and comparative evaluation of item-removal strategies in exploratory factor analysis, producing transparent summaries (explained variance, loading ranges, reliability) to support comfortable, reproducible decisions. The criteria are based on best practices and established heuristics (e.g., Costello & Osborne (2005) <doi:10.7275/jyj1-4868>, Howard (2016) <doi:10.1080/10447318.2015.1087664>).

Intervention analysis is used to investigate structural changes in data resulting from external events. Traditional time series intervention models, viz. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model with exogeneous variables (ARIMA-X) and Artificial Neural Networks with exogeneous variables (ANN-X), rely on linear intervention functions such as step or ramp functions, or their combinations. In this package, the Gompertz, Logistic, Monomolecular, Richard and Hoerl function have been used as non-linear intervention function. The equation of the above models are represented as: Gompertz: A * exp(-B * exp(-k * t)); Logistic: K / (1 + ((K - N0) / N0) * exp(-r * t)); Monomolecular: A * exp(-k * t); Richard: A + (K - A) / (1 + exp(-B * (C - t)))^(1/beta) and Hoerl: a*(b^t)*(t^c).This package introduced algorithm for time series intervention analysis employing ARIMA and ANN models with a non-linear intervention function. This package has been developed using algorithm of Yeasin et al. <doi:10.1016/j.hazadv.2023.100325> and Paul and Yeasin <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0272999>.

The package also allows the sweeping of many parameters in both static and dynamic conditions. The mathematical models used in this package are derived from Albarede, 1995, Introduction to Geochemical Modelling, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511622960>.

Some tools to assist with converting International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 11784 (ISO11784) animal ID codes between 4 recognised formats commonly displayed on Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag readers. The most common formats are 15 digit decimal, e.g., 999123456789012, and 13 character hexadecimal dot format, e.g., 3E7.1CBE991A14. These are referred to in this package as isodecimal and isodothex. The other two formats are the raw hexadecimal representation of the ISO11784 binary structure (see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_11784_and_ISO_11785>). There are two flavours of this format, a left and a right variation. Which flavour a reader happens to output depends on if the developers decided to reverse the binary number or not before converting to hexadecimal, a decision based on the fact that the PIT tags will transmit their binary code Least Significant Bit (LSB) first, or backwards basically.
