This package provides tools to work with the Flexible Dirichlet distribution. The main features are an E-M algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood estimate of the parameter vector and a function based on conditional bootstrap to estimate its asymptotic variance-covariance matrix. It contains also functions to plot graphs, to generate random observations and to handle compositional data.

Easy way to plot regular/weighted/conditional distributions by using formulas. The core of the package concerns distribution plots which are automatic: the many options are tailored to the data at hand to offer the nicest and most meaningful graphs possible -- with no/minimum user input. Further provide functions to plot conditional trends and box plots. See <https://lrberge.github.io/fplot/> for more information.

This package implements numerical entropy-pooling for portfolio construction and scenario analysis as described in Meucci, Attilio (2008) and Meucci, Attilio (2010) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.1696802>.

The Forecast Linear Augmented Projection (flap) method reduces forecast variance by adjusting the forecasts of multivariate time series to be consistent with the forecasts of linear combinations (components) of the series by projecting all forecasts onto the space where the linear constraints are satisfied. The forecast variance can be reduced monotonically by including more components. For a given number of components, the flap method achieves maximum forecast variance reduction among linear projections.

An interactive shiny'-based tool for exploration and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) of eddy covariance flux tower data processing.

Open-source package for computing likelihood ratios in kinship testing and human identification cases. It has the core function of the software GENis, developed by Fundación Sadosky. It relies on a Bayesian Networks framework and is particularly well suited to efficiently perform large-size queries against databases of missing individuals.

Convenient functions for ensemble forecasts in R combining approaches from the forecast package. Forecasts generated from auto.arima(), ets(), thetaf(), nnetar(), stlm(), tbats(), snaive() and arfima() can be combined with equal weights, weights based on in-sample errors (introduced by Bates & Granger (1969) <doi:10.1057/jors.1969.103>), or cross-validated weights. Cross validation for time series data with user-supplied models and forecasting functions is also supported to evaluate model accuracy.

This package provides functions and example datasets for Fechnerian scaling of discrete object sets. User can compute Fechnerian distances among objects representing subjective dissimilarities, and other related information. See package?fechner for an overview.

The penalized and non-penalized Minorize-Maximization (MM) method for frailty models to fit the clustered data, multi-event data and recurrent data. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), minimax concave penalty (MCP) and smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalized functions are implemented. All the methods are computationally efficient. These general methods are proposed based on the following papers, Huang, Xu and Zhou (2022) <doi:10.3390/math10040538>, Huang, Xu and Zhou (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221133554>.

Toolbox to process raw data from closed loop flux chamber (or tent) setups into ecosystem gas fluxes usable for analysis. It goes from a data frame of gas concentration over time (which can contain several measurements) and a meta data file indicating which measurement was done when, to a data frame of ecosystem gas fluxes including quality diagnostics. Organized with one function per step, maximizing user flexibility and backwards compatibility. Different models to estimate the fluxes from the raw data are available: exponential as described in Zhao et al (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.08.022>, exponential as described in Hutchinson and Mosier (1981) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1981.03615995004500020017x>, quadratic, and linear. Other functions include quality assessment, plotting for visual check, calculation of fluxes based on the setup specific parameters (chamber size, plot area, ...), gross primary production and transpiration rate calculation, and light response curves.

Recent technological advances have enable the simultaneous collection of multi-omics data i.e., different types or modalities of molecular data, presenting challenges for integrative prediction modeling due to the heterogeneous, high-dimensional nature and possible missing modalities of some individuals. We introduce this package for late integrative prediction modeling, enabling modality-specific variable selection and prediction modeling, followed by the aggregation of the modality-specific predictions to train a final meta-model. This package facilitates conducting late integration predictive modeling in a systematic, structured, and reproducible way.

The purpose of forecastML is to simplify the process of multi-step-ahead forecasting with standard machine learning algorithms. forecastML supports lagged, dynamic, static, and grouping features for modeling single and grouped numeric or factor/sequence time series. In addition, simple wrapper functions are used to support model-building with most R packages. This approach to forecasting is inspired by Bergmeir, Hyndman, and Koo's (2018) paper "A note on the validity of cross-validation for evaluating autoregressive time series prediction" <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2017.11.003>.

It offers comprehensive tools for the analysis of functional time series data, focusing on white noise hypothesis testing and goodness-of-fit evaluations, alongside functions for simulating data and advanced visualization techniques, such as 3D rainbow plots. These methods are described in Kokoszka, Rice, and Shang (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2017.08.004>, Yeh, Rice, and Dubin (2023) <doi:10.1214/23-EJS2112>, Kim, Kokoszka, and Rice (2023) <doi:10.1214/23-ss143>, and Rice, Wirjanto, and Zhao (2020) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12532>.

Simulates plot data in multi-environment field trials with one or more traits. Its core function generates plot errors that capture spatial trend, random error (noise), and extraneous variation, which are combined at a user-defined ratio. Phenotypes can be generated by combining the plot errors with simulated genetic values that capture genotype-by-environment (GxE) interaction using wrapper functions for the R package `AlphaSimR`.

This package provides a study based on the screened selection design (SSD) is an exploratory phase II randomized trial with two or more arms but without concurrent control. The primary aim of the SSD trial is to pick a desirable treatment arm (e.g., in terms of the response rate) to recommend to the subsequent randomized phase IIb (with the concurrent control) or phase III. The proposed designs can â partiallyâ control or provide the empirical type I error/false positive rate by an optimal algorithm (implemented by the optimal_2arm_binary() or optimal_3arm_binary() function) for each arm. All the design needed components (sample size, operating characteristics) are supported.

This package creates participant flow diagrams directly from a dataframe. Representing the flow of participants through each stage of a study, especially in clinical trials, is essential to assess the generalisability and validity of the results. This package provides a set of functions that can be combined with a pipe operator to create all kinds of flowcharts from a data frame in an easy way.

Catalogues of resolution IV regular fractional factorial designs in 128 runs are provided for up to 33 2-level factors. The catalogues are complete, excluding resolution IV designs without 5-letter words, because these do not add value for a search for unblocked clear designs. The previous package version 1.0 with complete catalogues up to 24 runs (24 runs and a namespace added later) can be downloaded from the authors website.

Single unified interface for end-to-end modelling of regression, categorical and time-to-event (survival) outcomes. Models created using familiar are self-containing, and their use does not require additional information such as baseline survival, feature clustering, or feature transformation and normalisation parameters. Model performance, calibration, risk group stratification, (permutation) variable importance, individual conditional expectation, partial dependence, and more, are assessed automatically as part of the evaluation process and exported in tabular format and plotted, and may also be computed manually using export and plot functions. Where possible, metrics and values obtained during the evaluation process come with confidence intervals.
