Variable Penalty Dynamic Time Warping (VPdtw) for aligning chromatographic signals. With an appropriate penalty this method performs good alignment of chromatographic data without deforming the peaks (Clifford, D., Stone, G., Montoliu, I., Rezzi S., Martin F., Guy P., Bruce S., and Kochhar S.(2009) <doi:10.1021/ac802041e>; Clifford, D. and Stone, G. (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v047.i08>).

Implementation of Azure DevOps <https://azure.microsoft.com/> API calls. It enables the extraction of information about repositories, build and release definitions and individual releases. It also helps create repositories and work items within a project without logging into Azure DevOps'. There is the ability to use any API service with a shell for any non-predefined call.

Fits hierarchical regularized regression models to incorporate potentially informative external data, Weaver and Lewinger (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01761>. Utilizes coordinate descent to efficiently fit regularized regression models both with and without external information with the most common penalties used in practice (i.e. ridge, lasso, elastic net). Support for standard R matrices, sparse matrices and big.matrix objects.

The Bayesian modelling of relative sea-level data using a comprehensive approach that incorporates various statistical models within a unifying framework. Details regarding each statistical models; linear regression (Ashe et al 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.10.032>, change point models (Cahill et al 2015) <doi:10.1088/1748-9326/10/8/084002>, integrated Gaussian process models (Cahill et al 2015) <doi:10.1214/15-AOAS824>, temporal splines (Upton et al 2023) <arXiv:2301.09556>, spatio-temporal splines (Upton et al 2023) <arXiv:2301.09556> and generalised additive models (Upton et al 2023) <arXiv:2301.09556>. This package facilitates data loading, model fitting and result summarisation. Notably, it accommodates the inherent measurement errors found in relative sea-level data across multiple dimensions, allowing for their inclusion in the statistical models.

T (extent of the primary tumor), N (absence or presence and extent of regional lymph node metastasis) and M (absence or presence of distant metastasis) are three components to describe the anatomical tumor extent. TNM stage is important in treatment decision-making and outcome predicting. The existing oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC) TNM stages have not made distinction of the two sub sites of Human papillomavirus positive (HPV+) and Human papillomavirus negative (HPV-) diseases. We developed novel criteria to assess performance of the TNM stage grouping schemes based on parametric modeling adjusting on important clinical factors. These criteria evaluate the TNM stage grouping scheme in five different measures: hazard consistency, hazard discrimination, explained variation, likelihood difference, and balance. The methods are described in Xu, W., et al. (2015) <https://www.austinpublishinggroup.com/biometrics/fulltext/biometrics-v2-id1014.php>.

This package provides colour choice in information visualisation. It important in order to avoid being mislead by inherent bias in the used colour palette. This package provides access to the perceptually uniform and colour-blindness friendly palettes developed by Fabio Crameri and released under the "Scientific Colour-Maps" moniker. The package contains 24 different palettes and includes both diverging and sequential types.

This package provides resampling procedures to assess the stability of selected variables with additional finite sample error control for high-dimensional variable selection procedures such as Lasso or boosting. Both, standard stability selection (Meinshausen & Buhlmann, 2010) and complementary pairs stability selection with improved error bounds (Shah & Samworth, 2013) are implemented. The package can be combined with arbitrary user specified variable selection approaches.

This package contains various tools for working with and evaluating cross-validated area under the ROC curve (AUC) estimators. The primary functions of the package are ci.cvAUC and ci.pooled.cvAUC, which report cross-validated AUC and compute confidence intervals for cross-validated AUC estimates based on influence curves for i.i.d. and pooled repeated measures data, respectively.

This package provides methods to detect the differential composition abundances between conditions in singel-cell RNA-seq experiments, with or without replicates. It aims to correct bias introduced by missclaisification and enable controlling of confounding covariates. To avoid the influence of proportion change from big cell types, DCATS can use either total cell number or specific reference group as normalization term.

This package provides diagnostics for assessing genomic DNA contamination in RNA-seq data, as well as plots representing these diagnostics. Moreover, the package can be used to get an insight into the strand library protocol used and, in case of strand-specific libraries, the strandedness of the data. Furthermore, it provides functionality to filter out reads of potential gDNA origin.

This package provides methods to perform trajectory analysis based on a minimum spanning tree constructed from cluster centroids. Computes pseudotemporal cell orderings by mapping cells in each cluster (or new cells) to the closest edge in the tree. Uses linear modelling to identify differentially expressed genes along each path through the tree. Several plotting and interactive visualization functions are also implemented.

Using a Bayesian estimation procedure, this package fits linear quantile regression models such as linear quantile models, linear quantile mixed models, quantile regression joint models for time-to-event and longitudinal data. The estimation procedure is based on the asymmetric Laplace distribution and the JAGS software is used to get posterior samples (Yang, Luo, DeSantis (2019) <doi:10.1177/0962280218784757>).

Implementations of the family of map() functions with frequent saving of the intermediate results. The contained functions let you start the evaluation of the iterations where you stopped (reading the already evaluated ones from cache), and work with the currently evaluated iterations while remaining ones are running in a background job. Parallel computing is also easier with the workers parameter.

Interact with the FRED API, <https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/fred/>, to fetch observations across economic series; find information about different economic sources, releases, series, etc.; conduct searches by series name, attributes, or tags; and determine the latest updates. Includes functions for creating panels of related variables with minimal effort and datasets containing data sources, releases, and popular FRED tags.

Contingency Tables are a pain to work with when you want to run regressions. This package takes them, flattens them into a long data frame, so you can more easily analyse them! As well, you can calculate other related statistics. All of this is done so in a tidy manner, so it should tie in nicely with tidyverse series of packages.

Data-driven approach for arriving at person-specific time series models. The method first identifies which relations replicate across the majority of individuals to detect signal from noise. These group-level relations are then used as a foundation for starting the search for person-specific (or individual-level) relations. See Gates & Molenaar (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.06.026>.

Instrumental variable (IV) estimators for homogeneous and heterogeneous treatment effects with efficient machine learning instruments. The estimators are based on double/debiased machine learning allowing for nonlinear and potentially high-dimensional control variables. Details can be found in Scheidegger, Guo and Bühlmann (2025) "Inference for heterogeneous treatment effects with efficient instruments and machine learning" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.03530>.

This package provides a gridded classification of weather types by applying the Jenkinson and Collison classification. For a given region (it can be either local region or the whole map),it computes at each grid the 11 weather types during the period considered for the analysis. See Otero et al., (2017) <doi:10.1007/s00382-017-3705-y> for more information.

Estimate, fit and compare Structural Equation Models (SEM) and network models (Gaussian Graphical Models; GGM) using OpenMx. Allows for two possible generalizations to include GGMs in SEM: GGMs can be used between latent variables (latent network modeling; LNM) or between residuals (residual network modeling; RNM). For details, see Epskamp, Rhemtulla and Borsboom (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9557-x>.

Describes spatial patterns of categorical raster data for any defined regular and irregular areas. Patterns are described quantitatively using built-in signatures based on co-occurrence matrices but also allows for any user-defined functions. It enables spatial analysis such as search, change detection, and clustering to be performed on spatial patterns (Nowosad (2021) <doi:10.1007/s10980-020-01135-0>).

This package implements an algorithm for computing multiple sparse principal components of a dataset. The method is based on Cory-Wright and Pauphilet "Sparse PCA with Multiple Principal Components" (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.14790>. The algorithm uses an iterative deflation heuristic with a truncated power method applied at each iteration to compute sparse principal components with controlled sparsity.
