This package provides a nonvisual procedure for screening time series for nonstationarity in the context of intensive longitudinal designs, such as ecological momentary assessments. The method combines two diagnostics: one for detecting trends (based on the split R-hat statistic from Bayesian convergence diagnostics) and one for detecting changes in variance (a novel extension inspired by Levene's test). This approach allows researchers to efficiently and reproducibly detect violations of the stationarity assumption, especially when visual inspection of many individual time series is impractical. The procedure is suitable for use in all areas of research where time series analysis is central. For a detailed description of the method and its validation through simulations and empirical application, see Zitzmann, S., Lindner, C., Lohmann, J. F., & Hecht, M. (2024) "A Novel Nonvisual Procedure for Screening for Nonstationarity in Time Series as Obtained from Intensive Longitudinal Designs" <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384354932_A_Novel_Nonvisual_Procedure_for_Screening_for_Nonstationarity_in_Time_Series_as_Obtained_from_Intensive_Longitudinal_Designs>.

This package provides a small package designed for interpreting continuous and categorical latent variables. You provide a data set with a latent variable you want to understand and some other explanatory variables. It provides a description of the latent variable based on the explanatory variables. It also provides a name to the latent variable.

Addressing crucial research questions often necessitates a small sample size due to factors such as distinctive target populations, rarity of the event under study, time and cost constraints, ethical concerns, or group-level unit of analysis. Many readily available analytic methods, however, do not accommodate small sample sizes, and the choice of the best method can be unclear. The npboottprm package enables the execution of nonparametric bootstrap tests with pooled resampling to help fill this gap. Grounded in the statistical methods for small sample size studies detailed in Dwivedi, Mallawaarachchi, and Alvarado (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7263>, the package facilitates a range of statistical tests, encompassing independent t-tests, paired t-tests, and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) F-tests. The nonparboot() function undertakes essential computations, yielding detailed outputs which include test statistics, effect sizes, confidence intervals, and bootstrap distributions. Further, npboottprm incorporates an interactive shiny web application, nonparboot_app(), offering intuitive, user-friendly data exploration.

Calculation and presentation of decision-invariant bias adjustment thresholds and intervals for Network Meta-Analysis, as described by Phillippo et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12341>. These describe the smallest changes to the data that would result in a change of decision.

This package provides a number of statistical tests have been proposed to compare two survival curves, including the difference in (or ratio of) t-year survival, difference in (or ratio of) p-th percentile survival, difference in (or ratio of) restricted mean survival time, and the weighted log-rank test. Despite the multitude of options, the convention in survival studies is to assume proportional hazards and to use the unweighted log-rank test for design and analysis. This package provides sample size and power calculation for all of the above statistical tests with allowance for flexible accrual, censoring, and survival (eg. Weibull, piecewise-exponential, mixture cure). It is the companion R package to the paper by Yung and Liu (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13196>. Specific to the weighted log-rank test, users may specify which approximations they wish to use to estimate the large-sample mean and variance. The default option has been shown to provide substantial improvement over the conventional sample size and power equations based on Schoenfeld (1981) <doi:10.1093/biomet/68.1.316>.

NanoString nCounter data are gene expression assays where there is no need for the use of enzymes or amplification protocols and work with fluorescent barcodes (Geiss et al. (2018) <doi:10.1038/nbt1385>). Each barcode is assigned a messenger-RNA/micro-RNA (mRNA/miRNA) which after bonding with its target can be counted. As a result each count of a specific barcode represents the presence of its target mRNA/miRNA. NACHO (NAnoString quality Control dasHbOard) is able to analyse the exported NanoString nCounter data and facilitates the user in performing a quality control. NACHO does this by visualising quality control metrics, expression of control genes, principal components and sample specific size factors in an interactive web application.

This package provides a unified set of helper functions to access datasets from the NYC Open Data platform <https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/>. Functions return results as tidy tibbles and support optional filtering, sorting, and row limits via the Socrata API. The package includes endpoints for 311 service requests, DOB job applications, juvenile justice metrics, school safety, environmental data, event permitting, and additional citywide datasets.

Sample sizes are often small due to hard to reach target populations, rare target events, time constraints, limited budgets, or ethical considerations. Two statistical methods with promising performance in small samples are the nonparametric bootstrap test with pooled resampling method, which is the focus of Dwivedi, Mallawaarachchi, and Alvarado (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7263>, and informative hypothesis testing, which is implemented in the restriktor package. The npboottprmFBar package uses the nonparametric bootstrap test with pooled resampling method to implement informative hypothesis testing. The bootFbar() function can be used to analyze data with this method and the persimon() function can be used to conduct performance simulations on type-one error and statistical power.

Computes the nonlinear cointegrating autoregressive distributed lag model with automatic bases aic and bic lags selection of independent variables proposed by (Shin, Yu & Greenwood-Nimmo, 2014 <doi:10.1007/978-1-4899-8008-3_9>).

This package provides methods and tools for forecasting univariate time series using the NARFIMA (Neural AutoRegressive Fractionally Integrated Moving Average) model. It combines neural networks with fractional differencing to capture both nonlinear patterns and long-term dependencies. The NARFIMA model supports seasonal adjustment, Box-Cox transformations, optional exogenous variables, and the computation of prediction intervals. In addition to the NARFIMA model, this package provides alternative forecasting models including NARIMA (Neural ARIMA), NBSTS (Neural Bayesian Structural Time Series), and NNaive (Neural Naive) for performance comparison across different modeling approaches. The methods are based on algorithms introduced by Chakraborty et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2509.06697>.

Miscellaneous R functions developed as collateral damage over the course of work in statistical and scientific computing for research.

Segregation is a network-level property such that edges between predefined groups of vertices are relatively less likely. Network homophily is a individual-level tendency to form relations with people who are similar on some attribute (e.g. gender, music taste, social status, etc.). In general homophily leads to segregation, but segregation might arise without homophily. This package implements descriptive indices measuring homophily/segregation. It is a computational companion to Bojanowski & Corten (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2014.04.001>.

Conducts Bayesian Hypothesis tests of a point null hypothesis against a two-sided alternative using Non-local Alternative Prior (NAP) for one- and two-sample z- and t-tests (Pramanik and Johnson, 2022). Under the alternative, the NAP is assumed on the standardized effects size in one-sample tests and on their differences in two-sample tests. The package considers two types of NAP densities: (1) the normal moment prior, and (2) the composite alternative. In fixed design tests, the functions calculate the Bayes factors and the expected weight of evidence for varied effect size and sample size. The package also provides a sequential testing framework using the Sequential Bayes Factor (SBF) design. The functions calculate the operating characteristics (OC) and the average sample number (ASN), and also conducts sequential tests for a sequentially observed data.

This package provides a suite of functions to work with data from the National Institutes of Health Brain Development Cohorts Data Hub.

Implementation of Narrowest Significance Pursuit, a general and flexible methodology for automatically detecting localised regions in data sequences which each must contain a change-point (understood as an abrupt change in the parameters of an underlying linear model), at a prescribed global significance level. Narrowest Significance Pursuit works with a wide range of distributional assumptions on the errors, and yields exact desired finite-sample coverage probabilities, regardless of the form or number of the covariates.
