Evaluate the predictive performance of an existing (i.e. previously developed) prediction/ prognostic model given relevant information about the existing prediction model (e.g. coefficients) and a new dataset. Provides a range of model updating methods that help tailor the existing model to the new dataset; see Su et al. (2018) <doi:10.1177/0962280215626466>. Techniques to aggregate multiple existing prediction models on the new data are also provided; see Debray et al. (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6080> and Martin et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7586>).

Learn optimal policies via doubly robust empirical welfare maximization over trees. Given doubly robust reward estimates, this package finds a rule-based treatment prescription policy, where the policy takes the form of a shallow decision tree that is globally (or close to) optimal.

In ancient Roman mythology, Pluto was the ruler of the underworld and presides over the afterlife. Pluto was frequently conflated with Plutus', the god of wealth, because mineral wealth was found underground. When plotting with R, you try once, twice, practice again and again, and finally you get a pretty figure you want. It's a plot tour', a tour about repetition and reward. Hope plutor helps you on the tour!

Improved methods to construct prediction intervals for network meta-analysis. The parametric bootstrap and Kenward-Roger-type adjustment by Noma et al. (2022) <forthcoming> are implementable.

Fits right-truncated meta-analysis (RTMA), a bias correction for the joint effects of p-hacking (i.e., manipulation of results within studies to obtain significant, positive estimates) and traditional publication bias (i.e., the selective publication of studies with significant, positive results) in meta-analyses [see Mathur MB (2022). "Sensitivity analysis for p-hacking in meta-analyses." <doi:10.31219/osf.io/ezjsx>.]. Unlike publication bias alone, p-hacking that favors significant, positive results (termed "affirmative") can distort the distribution of affirmative results. To bias-correct results from affirmative studies would require strong assumptions on the exact nature of p-hacking. In contrast, joint p-hacking and publication bias do not distort the distribution of published nonaffirmative results when there is stringent p-hacking (e.g., investigators who hack always eventually obtain an affirmative result) or when there is stringent publication bias (e.g., nonaffirmative results from hacked studies are never published). This means that any published nonaffirmative results are from unhacked studies. Under these assumptions, RTMA involves analyzing only the published nonaffirmative results to essentially impute the full underlying distribution of all results prior to selection due to p-hacking and/or publication bias. The package also provides diagnostic plots described in Mathur (2022).

This package performs bivariate composite likelihood and full information maximum likelihood estimation for polytomous logit-normit (graded logistic) item response theory (IRT) models.

Tabular data from statistical institutes and agencies are mostly confidential and must be protected prior to publications. The cell-key method is a post-tabular Statistical Disclosure Control perturbation technique that adds random noise to tabular data. The statistical properties of the perturbations are defined by some noise probability distributions - also referred to as perturbation tables. This tool can be used to create the perturbation tables based on a maximum entropy approach as described for example in Giessing (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-45381-1_18>. The perturbation tables created can finally be used to apply a cell-key method to frequency count or magnitude tables.

Create regular pivot tables with just a few lines of R. More complex pivot tables can also be created, e.g. pivot tables with irregular layouts, multiple calculations and/or derived calculations based on multiple data frames. Pivot tables are constructed using R only and can be written to a range of output formats (plain text, HTML', Latex and Excel'), including with styling/formatting.

An implementation of the van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter in R, which is a survey-based approach to analyze consumer price preferences and sensitivity (van Westendorp 1976, isbn:9789283100386).

This package contains three simulation functions for implementing the entire Phase 123 trial and the separate Eff-Tox and Phase 3 portions of the trial, which may be beneficial for use on clusters. The functions AssignEffTox() and RandomizeEffTox() assign doses to patient cohorts during phase 12 and Reoptimize() determines the optimal dose to continue with during Phase 3. The functions ReturnMeansAgent() and ReturnMeanControl() gives the true mean survival for the agent doses and control and ReturnOCS() gives the operating characteristics of the design.

Following the method of Bailey et al., computes for a collection of candidate models the probability of backtest overfitting, the performance degradation and probability of loss, and the stochastic dominance.

This package contains sixteen moisture sorption isotherm models, which evaluate the fitness of adsorption and desorption curves for further understanding of the relationship between moisture content and water activity.

Large-scale phenotypic data processing is essential in research. Researchers need to eliminate outliers from the data in order to obtain true and reliable results. Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) is a standard method for estimating random effects of a mixed model. This method can be used to process phenotypic data under different conditions and is widely used in animal and plant breeding. The Phenotype can remove outliers from phenotypic data and performs the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP), help researchers quickly complete phenotypic data analysis. H.P.Piepho.
