The Swash-Backwash Model for the Single Epidemic Wave was developed by Cliff and Haggett (2006) <doi:10.1007/s10109-006-0027-8> to model the velocity of spread of infectious diseases across space. This package enables the calculation of the Swash-Backwash Model for user-supplied panel data on regional infections. The package also provides additional functions for bootstrap confidence intervals, country comparison, visualization of results, and data management.

Fit, compare, and visualize Bayesian graphical vector autoregressive (GVAR) network models using Stan'. These models are commonly used in psychology to represent temporal and contemporaneous relationships between multiple variables in intensive longitudinal data. Fitted models can be compared with a test based on matrix norm differences of posterior point estimates to quantify the differences between two estimated networks.

The "Vertical and Horizontal Inheritance Consistence Analysis" method is described in the following publication: "VHICA: a new method to discriminate between vertical and horizontal transposon transfer: application to the mariner family within Drosophila" by G. Wallau. et al. (2016) <DOI:10.1093/molbev/msv341>. The purpose of the method is to detect horizontal transfers of transposable elements, by contrasting the divergence of transposable element sequences with that of regular genes.

Gene-environment (GÃ E) interactions have important implications to elucidate the etiology of complex diseases beyond the main genetic and environmental effects. Outliers and data contamination in disease phenotypes of GÃ E studies have been commonly encountered, leading to the development of a broad spectrum of robust penalization methods. Nevertheless, within the Bayesian framework, the issue has not been taken care of in existing studies. We develop a robust Bayesian variable selection method for GÃ E interaction studies. The proposed Bayesian method can effectively accommodate heavy-tailed errors and outliers in the response variable while conducting variable selection by accounting for structural sparsity. In particular, the spike-and-slab priors have been imposed on both individual and group levels to identify important main and interaction effects. An efficient Gibbs sampler has been developed to facilitate fast computation. The Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms of the proposed and alternative methods are efficiently implemented in C++.

This package provides functions to perform the fitting of an adaptive mixture of Student-t distributions to a target density through its kernel function as described in Ardia et al. (2009) <doi:10.18637/jss.v029.i03>. The mixture approximation can then be used as the importance density in importance sampling or as the candidate density in the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to obtain quantities of interest for the target density itself.

Power analysis for AB testing. The calculations are based on the Welch's unequal variances t-test, which is generally preferred over the Student's t-test when sample sizes and variances of the two groups are unequal, which is frequently the case in AB testing. In such situations, the Student's t-test will give biased results due to using the pooled standard deviation, unlike the Welch's t-test.

The straightforward filtering index (SFINX) identifies true positive protein interactions in a fast, user-friendly, and highly accurate way. It is not only useful for the filtering of affinity purification - mass spectrometry (AP-MS) data, but also for similar types of data resulting from other co-complex interactomics technologies, such as TAP-MS, Virotrap and BioID. SFINX can also be used via the website interface at <http://sfinx.ugent.be>.

Utilities for rapidly loading specified rows and/or columns of data from large tab-separated value (tsv) files (large: e.g. 1 GB file of 10000 x 10000 matrix). tsvio is an R wrapper to C code that creates an index file for the rows of the tsv file, and uses that index file to collect rows and/or columns from the tsv file without reading the whole file into memory.

Extends standard penalized regression (Lasso, Ridge, and Elastic-net) to allow feature-specific shrinkage based on external information with the goal of achieving a better prediction accuracy and variable selection. Examples of external information include the grouping of predictors, prior knowledge of biological importance, external p-values, function annotations, etc. The choice of multiple tuning parameters is done using an Empirical Bayes approach. A majorization-minimization algorithm is employed for implementation.

The development of high-throughput sequencing led to increased use of co-expression analysis to go beyong single feature (i.e. gene) focus. We propose GWENA (Gene Whole co-Expression Network Analysis) , a tool designed to perform gene co-expression network analysis and explore the results in a single pipeline. It includes functional enrichment of modules of co-expressed genes, phenotypcal association, topological analysis and comparison of networks configuration between conditions.

This package enables the interpretation and analysis of results from a gene set enrichment analysis using network-based and text-mining approaches. Most enrichment analyses result in large lists of significant gene sets that are difficult to interpret. Tools in this package help build a similarity-based network of significant gene sets from a gene set enrichment analysis that can then be investigated for their biological function using text-mining approaches.
