The Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF) algorithm operates on count data. This package offers implementations for several algorithms that extend this to nested structures: parent and child items for both of which constraints can be provided. The fitting algorithms include Iterative Proportional Updating <https://trid.trb.org/view/881554>, Hierarchical IPF <doi:10.3929/ethz-a-006620748>, Entropy Optimization <https://trid.trb.org/view/881144>, and Generalized Raking <doi:10.2307/2290793>. Additionally, a number of replication methods is also provided such as Truncate, replicate, sample <doi:10.1016/j.compenvurbsys.2013.03.004>.

Inference on stochastic differential models Ornstein-Uhlenbeck or Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, with one or two random effects in the drift function.

This package provides a leadership-inference framework for multivariate time series. The framework for multiple-faction-leadership inference from coordinated activities or mFLICA uses a notion of a leader as an individual who initiates collective patterns that everyone in a group follows. Given a set of time series of individual activities, our goal is to identify periods of coordinated activity, find factions of coordination if more than one exist, as well as identify leaders of each faction. For each time step, the framework infers following relations between individual time series, then identifying a leader of each faction whom many individuals follow but it follows no one. A faction is defined as a group of individuals that everyone follows the same leader. mFLICA reports following relations, leaders of factions, and members of each faction for each time step. Please see Chainarong Amornbunchornvej and Tanya Berger-Wolf (2018) <doi:10.1137/1.9781611975321.62> for methodology and Chainarong Amornbunchornvej (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2021.100781> for software when referring to this package in publications.

This is the very popular mine sweeper game! The game requires you to find out tiles that contain mines through clues from unmasking neighboring tiles. Each tile that does not contain a mine shows the number of mines in its adjacent tiles. If you unmask all tiles that do not contain mines, you win the game; if you unmask any tile that contains a mine, you lose the game. For further game instructions, please run `help(run_game)` and check details. This game runs in X11-compatible devices with `grDevices::x11()`.

This package provides methods to analyze cluster alternatives based on multi-objective optimization of cluster validation indices. For details see Kraus et al. (2011) <doi:10.1007/s00180-011-0244-6>.

Biodiversity areas, especially primary forest, serve a multitude of functions for local economy, regional functionality of the ecosystems as well as the global health of our planet. Recently, adverse changes in human land use practices and climatic responses to increased greenhouse gas emissions, put these biodiversity areas under a variety of different threats. The present package helps to analyse a number of biodiversity indicators based on freely available geographical datasets. It supports computational efficient routines that allow the analysis of potentially global biodiversity portfolios. The primary use case of the package is to support evidence based reporting of an organization's effort to protect biodiversity areas under threat and to identify regions were intervention is most duly needed.

N>=3 methods are used to measure each of n items. The data are used to estimate simultaneously systematic error (bias) and random error (imprecision). Observed measurements for each method or device are assumed to be linear functions of the unknown true values and the errors are assumed normally distributed. Pairwise calibration curves and plots can be easily generated. Unlike the ncb.od function, the omx function builds a one-factor measurement error model using OpenMx and allows missing values, uses full information maximum likelihood to estimate parameters, and provides both likelihood-based and bootstrapped confidence intervals for all parameters, in addition to Wald-type intervals.

We develop Multi-source Graph Synthesis (MUGS), an algorithm designed to create embeddings for pediatric Electronic Health Record (EHR) codes by leveraging graphical information from three distinct sources: (1) pediatric EHR data, (2) EHR data from the general patient population, and (3) existing hierarchical medical ontology knowledge shared across different patient populations. See Li et al. (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41746-024-01320-4> for details.

This package provides tools for spectral clustering of weighted directed networks using motif adjacency matrices. Methods perform well on large and sparse networks, and random sampling methods for generating weighted directed networks are also provided. Based on methodology detailed in Underwood, Elliott and Cucuringu (2020) <arXiv:2004.01293>.

Identification of ring borders on scanned image sections from dendrochronological samples. Processing of image reflectances to produce gray matrices and time series of smoothed gray values. Luminance data is plotted on segmented images for users to perform both: visual identification of ring borders or control of automatic detection. Routines to visually include/exclude ring borders on the R graphical devices, or automatically detect ring borders using a linear detection algorithm. This algorithm detects ring borders according to positive/negative extreme values in the smoothed time-series of gray values. Most of the in-package routines can be recursively implemented using the multiDetect() function.

Quantifies ecological memory in long time-series using Random Forest models ('Benito', Gil-Romera', and Birks 2019 <doi:10.1111/ecog.04772>) fitted with ranger (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>). Ecological memory is assessed by modeling a response variable as a function of lagged predictors, distinguishing endogenous memory (lagged response) from exogenous memory (lagged environmental drivers). Designed for palaeoecological datasets and simulated pollen curves from virtualPollen', but applicable to any long time-series with environmental drivers and a biotic response.

Implementation of a framework for cluster analysis with selection of the final number of clusters and an optional variable selection procedure. The package is designed to integrate the results of multiple imputed datasets while accounting for the uncertainty that the imputations introduce in the final results. In addition, the package can also be used for a cluster analysis of the complete cases of a single dataset. The package also includes specific methods to summarize and plot the results. The methods are described in Basagana et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/aje/kws289>.

The current version of the MixSAL package allows users to generate data from a multivariate SAL distribution or a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions, evaluate the probability density function of a multivariate SAL distribution or a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions, and fit a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm (see Franczak et. al, 2014, <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2013.216>, for details).

Regularly spaced grids containing continuous data are transformed to contour polygons. A grid can be defined by a data.frame (x, y, value), an sf object or a raster from terra'.

Fitting Multi-Parameter Regression (MPR) models to right-censored survival data. These are flexible parametric regression models which extend standard models, for example, proportional hazards. See Burke & MacKenzie (2016) <doi:10.1111/biom.12625> and Burke et al (2020) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12398>.

This package contains model-based treatment of missing data for regression models with missing values in covariates or the dependent variable using maximum likelihood or Bayesian estimation (Ibrahim et al., 2005; <doi:10.1198/016214504000001844>; Luedtke, Robitzsch, & West, 2020a, 2020b; <doi:10.1080/00273171.2019.1640104><doi:10.1037/met0000233>). The regression model can be nonlinear (e.g., interaction effects, quadratic effects or B-spline functions). Multilevel models with missing data in predictors are available for Bayesian estimation. Substantive-model compatible multiple imputation can be also conducted.

Implementation of a next-generation, multi-stock age-structured fisheries assessment model. multiSA is intended for use in mixed fisheries where stock composition can not be readily identified in fishery data alone, e.g., from catch and age/length composition. Models can be fitted to genetic data, e.g., stock composition of catches and close-kin pairs, with seasonal stock availability and movement.
