Currently incorporate the generalized odds-rate model (a type of linear transformation model) for interval-censored data based on penalized monotonic B-Spline. More methods under other semiparametric models such as cure model or additive model will be included in future versions. For more details see Lu, M., Liu, Y., Li, C. and Sun, J. (2019) <arXiv:1912.11703>.

Fast and efficient sampling from general univariate probability density functions. Implements a rejection sampling approach designed to take advantage of modern CPU caches and minimise evaluation of the target density for most samples. Many standard densities are internally implemented in C for high performance, with general user defined densities also supported. A paper describing the methodology will be released soon.

Estimates the coefficients of the two-time centered autologistic regression model based on Gegout-Petit A., Guerin-Dubrana L., Li S. "A new centered spatio-temporal autologistic regression model. Application to local spread of plant diseases." 2019. <arXiv:1811.06782>, using a grid of binary variables to estimate the spread of a disease on the grid over the years.

This package provides a general spatiotemporal satellite image imputation method based on sparse functional data analytic techniques. The imputation method applies and extends the Functional Principal Analysis by Conditional Estimation (PACE). The underlying idea for the proposed procedure is to impute a missing pixel by borrowing information from temporally and spatially contiguous pixels based on the best linear unbiased prediction.

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.

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>).

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 prebs package aims at making RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data more comparable to microarray data. The comparability is achieved by summarizing sequencing-based expressions of probe regions using a modified version of RMA algorithm. The pipeline takes mapped reads in BAM format as an input and produces either gene expressions or original microarray probe set expressions as an output.

The r-mhsmm package implements estimation and prediction methods for hidden Markov and semi-Markov models for multiple observation sequences. Such techniques are of interest when observed data is thought to be dependent on some unobserved (or hidden) state. Also, this package is suitable for equidistant time series data, with multivariate and/or missing data. Allows user defined emission distributions.

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>.

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>.

It also provides tools to perform statistical tests considering these specifications as described in : Pacheco, P. H. (2021). "Modeling complex longitudinal data in R: development of a statistical package." <https://repositorio.ufjf.br/jspui/bitstream/ufjf/13437/1/pedrohenriquedemesquitapacheco.pdf>.

An implementation of the Monte Carlo techniques described in details by Dufour (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2005.06.007> and Dufour and Khalaf (2007) <doi:10.1002/9780470996249.ch24>. The two main features available are the Monte Carlo method with tie-breaker, mc(), for discrete statistics, and the Maximized Monte Carlo, mmc(), for statistics with nuisance parameters.

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>).
