An integrated set of extensions to the ergm package to analyze and simulate network evolution based on exponential-family random graph models (ERGM). tergm is a part of the statnet suite of packages for network analysis. See Krivitsky and Handcock (2014) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12014> and Carnegie, Krivitsky, Hunter, and Goodreau (2015) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2014.903087>.
Bayesian variable selection using shrinkage priors to identify significant variables in high-dimensional datasets. The package includes methods for determining the number of significant variables through innovative clustering techniques of posterior distributions, specifically utilizing the 2-Means and Sequential 2-Means (S2M) approaches. The package aims to simplify the variable selection process with minimal tuning required in statistical analysis.
This package provides simple, fast functions for maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimates of wildlife population parameters, suitable for use with simulated data or bootstraps. Early versions were indeed quick and dirty, but optional error-checking routines and meaningful error messages have been added. Includes single and multi-season occupancy, closed capture population estimation, survival, species richness and distance measures.

WDI provides more than 24,000 country or region-level indicators for various contexts. wbwdi enables users to download, process and work with WDI series across multiple countries, aggregates, and time periods.
Statistical models and utilities for the analysis of word frequency distributions. The utilities include functions for loading, manipulating and visualizing word frequency data and vocabulary growth curves. The package also implements several statistical models for the distribution of word frequencies in a population. (The name of this package derives from the most famous word frequency distribution, Zipf's law.).
ADAPT carries out differential abundance analysis for microbiome metagenomics data in phyloseq format. It has two innovations. One is to treat zero counts as left censored and use Tobit models for log count ratios. The other is an innovative way to find non-differentially abundant taxa as reference, then use the reference taxa to find the differentially abundant ones.
Exon-intron split analysis (EISA) uses ordinary RNA-seq data to measure changes in mature RNA and pre-mRNA
reads across different experimental conditions to quantify transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. For details see Gaidatzis et al., Nat Biotechnol 2015. doi: 10.1038/nbt.3269. eisaR
implements the major steps of EISA in R.
This package is designed to model gene detection pattern of scRNA-seq
through a binary factor analysis model. This model allows user to pass into a cell level covariate matrix X and gene level covariate matrix Q to account for nuisance variance(e.g batch effect), and it will output a low dimensional embedding matrix for downstream analysis.
This package provides an R interface for the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) API (see <http://www.bea.gov/API/bea_web_service_api_user_guide.htm> for more information) that serves two core purposes - 1. To Extract/Transform/Load data [beaGet()
] from the BEA API as R-friendly formats in the user's work space [transformation done by default in beaGet()
can be modified using optional parameters; see, too, bea2List()
, bea2Tab()
]. 2. To enable the search of descriptive meta data [beaSearch()
]. Other features of the library exist mainly as intermediate methods or are in early stages of development. Important Note - You must have an API key to use this library. Register for a key at <http://www.bea.gov/API/signup/index.cfm> .
Numerous functions for cohort-based analyses, either for prediction or causal inference. For causal inference, it includes Inverse Probability Weighting and G-computation for marginal estimation of an exposure effect when confounders are expected. We deal with binary outcomes, times-to-events, competing events, and multi-state data. For multistate data, semi-Markov model with interval censoring may be considered, and we propose the possibility to consider the excess of mortality related to the disease compared to reference lifetime tables. For predictive studies, we propose a set of functions to estimate time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with the possible consideration of right-censoring times-to-events or the presence of confounders. Finally, several functions are available to assess time-dependent ROC curves or survival curves from aggregated data.
This package provides a framework for estimating ensembles of meta-analytic and meta-regression models (assuming either presence or absence of the effect, heterogeneity, publication bias, and moderators). The RoBMA
framework uses Bayesian model-averaging to combine the competing meta-analytic models into a model ensemble, weights the posterior parameter distributions based on posterior model probabilities and uses Bayes factors to test for the presence or absence of the individual components (e.g., effect vs. no effect; Bartoš et al., 2022, <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1594>; Maier, Bartoš & Wagenmakers, 2022, <doi:10.1037/met0000405>). Users can define a wide range of prior distributions for + the effect size, heterogeneity, publication bias (including selection models and PET-PEESE), and moderator components. The package provides convenient functions for summary, visualizations, and fit diagnostics.
Estimate the causal treatment effect for subjects that can adhere to one or both of the treatments. Given longitudinal data with missing observations, consistent causal effects are calculated.

Modern Parallel Coordinate Plots have been introduced in the 1980s as a way to visualize arbitrarily many numeric variables. This Grammar of Graphics implementation also incorporates categorical variables into the plots in a principled manner. By separating the data managing part from the visual rendering, we give full access to the users while keeping the number of parameters manageably low.
