This package provides methods (standard and advanced) for analysis of agreement between measurement methods. These cover Bland-Altman plots, Deming regression, Lin's Total deviation index, and difference-on-average regression. See Carstensen B. (2010) "Comparing Clinical Measurement Methods: A Practical Guide (Statistics in Practice)" <doi:10.1002/9780470683019> for more information.

Spontaneous adverse event reports have a high potential for detecting adverse drug reactions. However, due to their dimension, the analysis of such databases requires statistical methods. We propose to use a logistic regression whose sparsity is viewed as a model selection challenge. Since the model space is huge, a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm carries out the model selection by maximizing the BIC criterion.

This package provides a set of functions for some multivariate analyses utilizing a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach through the OpenMx package. These analyses include canonical correlation analysis (CANCORR), redundancy analysis (RDA), and multivariate principal component regression (MPCR). It implements procedures discussed in Gu and Cheung (2023) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12301>, Gu, Yung, and Cheung (2019) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2018.1512847>, and Gu et al. (2023) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2022.2141675>.

This package provides tools for calculating I-Scores, a simple way to measure how successful minor political parties are at influencing the major parties in their environment. I-Scores are designed to be a more comprehensive measurement of minor party success than vote share and legislative seats won, the current standard measurements, which do not reflect the strategies that most minor parties employ. The procedure leverages the Manifesto Project's NLP model to identify the issue areas that sentences discuss, see Burst et al. (2024) <doi:10.25522/manifesto.manifestoberta.56topics.context.2024.1.1>, and the Wordfish algorithm to estimate the relative positions that platforms take on those issue areas, see Slapin and Proksch (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.1540-5907.2008.00338.x>.

The second version (0.2.0) contains implementation for exact matching which is an alternative to propensity score matching (see Glimm & Yau (2025)). The initial version (0.1.2) contains a collection of easy-to-implement tools for checking whether a MAIC can be conducted, as well as an alternative way of calculating weights (see Glimm & Yau (2021) <doi:10.1002/pst.2210>.).

Generate a monochrome palette from a starting colour for a specified number of colours. The package can also be used to display colour palettes in the plot window, with or without hex codes and colour labels.

Facilitate the description, transformation, exploration, and reproducibility of metabarcoding analyses. MiscMetabar is mainly built on top of the phyloseq', dada2 and targets R packages. It helps to build reproducible and robust bioinformatics pipelines in R. MiscMetabar makes ecological analysis of alpha and beta-diversity easier, more reproducible and more powerful by integrating a large number of tools. Important features are described in Taudière A. (2023) <doi:10.21105/joss.06038>.

Meta-analysis of generalized additive models and generalized additive mixed models. A typical use case is when data cannot be shared across locations, and an overall meta-analytic fit is sought. metagam provides functionality for removing individual participant data from models computed using the mgcv and gamm4 packages such that the model objects can be shared without exposing individual data. Furthermore, methods for meta-analysing these fits are provided. The implemented methods are described in Sorensen et al. (2020), <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117416>, extending previous works by Schwartz and Zanobetti (2000) and Crippa et al. (2018) <doi:10.6000/1929-6029.2018.07.02.1>.

This package provides a suite of tools to allow you to download all publicly available parasite rate survey points, mosquito occurrence points and raster surfaces from the Malaria Atlas Project <https://malariaatlas.org/> servers as well as utility functions for plotting the downloaded data.

This package implements three families of parsimonious hidden Markov models (HMMs) for matrix-variate longitudinal data using the Expectation-Conditional Maximization (ECM) algorithm. The package supports matrix-variate normal, t, and contaminated normal distributions as emission distributions. For each hidden state, parsimony is achieved through the eigen-decomposition of the covariance matrices associated with the emission distribution. This approach results in a comprehensive set of 98 parsimonious HMMs for each type of emission distribution. Atypical matrix detection is also supported, utilizing the fitted (heavy-tailed) models.

This package provides a framework for deconvolution, alignment and postprocessing of 1-dimensional (1d) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, resulting in a data matrix of aligned signal integrals. The deconvolution part uses the algorithm described in Koh et al. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jmr.2009.09.003>. The alignment part is based on functions from the speaq package, described in Beirnaert et al. (2018) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006018> and Vu et al. (2011) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-12-405>.

Implementation of Matched Wake Analysis (mwa) for studying causal relationships in spatiotemporal event data, introduced by Schutte and Donnay (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.polgeo.2014.03.001>.

This package provides a multiple-response chi-square framework for the analysis of contingency tables arising from multiple-response questionnaires, such as check-all-that-apply tasks, where response options are crossed with a known grouping factor. The framework accommodates within-block (e.g., within-subject) designs, as commonly encountered in sensory evaluation. It comprises a multiple-response chi-square test of homogeneity with an associated dimensionality test, a multiple-response Correspondence Analysis (CA), and per-cell multiple-response hypergeometric tests. These methods extend their classical counterparts by grounding inference in a null model that properly accounts for the multiple-response nature of the data, treating evaluations, rather than individual citations, as the experimental units, yielding more statistically valid conclusions than standard contingency table analyses. Details may be found in Mahieu, Schlich, Visalli, and Cardot (2021). <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2021.104256>.

This package provides a series of functions to implement association of covariance for detecting differential co-expression (ACDC), a novel approach for detection of differential co-expression that simultaneously accommodates multiple phenotypes or exposures with binary, ordinal, or continuous data types. Users can use the default method which identifies modules by Partition or may supply their own modules. Also included are functions to choose an information loss criterion (ILC) for Partition using OmicS-data-based Complex trait Analysis (OSCA) and Genome-wide Complex trait Analysis (GCTA). The manuscript describing these methods is as follows: Queen K, Nguyen MN, Gilliland F, Chun S, Raby BA, Millstein J. "ACDC: a general approach for detecting phenotype or exposure associated co-expression" (2023) <doi:10.3389/fmed.2023.1118824>.

Count data is prevalent and informative, with widespread application in many fields such as social psychology, personality, and public health. Classical statistical methods for the analysis of count outcomes are commonly variants of the log-linear model, including Poisson regression and Negative Binomial regression. However, a typical problem with count data modeling is inflation, in the sense that the counts are evidently accumulated on some integers. Such an inflation problem could distort the distribution of the observed counts, further bias estimation and increase error, making the classic methods infeasible. Traditional inflated value selection methods based on histogram inspection are easy to neglect true points and computationally expensive in addition. Therefore, we propose a multiple-inflated negative binomial model to handle count data modeling with multiple inflated values, achieving data-driven inflated value selection. The proposed approach provides simultaneous identification of important regression predictors on the target count response as well. More details about the proposed method are described in Li, Y., Wu, M., Wu, M., & Ma, S. (2023) <arXiv:2309.15585>.
