The new (dQTG.seq1 and dQTG.seq2) and existing (SmoothLOD, G', deltaSNP and ED) bulked segregant analysis methods are used to identify various types of quantitative trait loci for complex traits via extreme phenotype individuals in bi-parental segregation populations (F2, backcross, doubled haploid and recombinant inbred line). The numbers of marker alleles in extreme low and high pools are used in existing methods to identify trait-related genes, while the numbers of marker alleles and genotypes in extreme low and high pools are used in the new methods to construct a new statistic Gw for identifying trait-related genes. dQTG-seq2 is feasible to identify extremely over-dominant and small-effect genes in F2.

This package implements a generalized linear model approach for detecting differentially expressed genes across treatment groups in count data. The package supports both quasi-Poisson and negative binomial models to handle over-dispersion, ensuring robust identification of differential expression. It allows for the inclusion of treatment effects and gene-wise covariates, as well as normalization factors for accurate scaling across samples. Additionally, it incorporates statistical significance testing with options for p-value adjustment and log2 fold range thresholds, making it suitable for RNA-seq analysis as described in by Xu et al., (2024) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0300565>.

This package provides tools for working with a new versatile discrete distribution, the db ("discretised Beta") distribution. This package provides density (probability), distribution, inverse distribution (quantile) and random data generation functions for the db family. It provides functions to effect conveniently maximum likelihood estimation of parameters, and a variety of useful plotting functions. It provides goodness of fit tests and functions to calculate the Fisher information, different estimates of the hessian of the log likelihood and Monte Carlo estimation of the covariance matrix of the maximum likelihood parameter estimates. In addition it provides analogous tools for working with the beta-binomial distribution which has been proposed as a competitor to the db distribution.

Implementation of a transfer learning framework employing distribution mapping based domain transfer. Uses the renowned concept of histogram matching (see Gonzalez and Fittes (1977) <doi:10.1016/0094-114X(77)90062-3>, Gonzalez and Woods (2008) <isbn:9780131687288>) and extends it to include distribution measures like kernel density estimates (KDE; see Wand and Jones (1995) <isbn:978-0-412-55270-0>, Jones et al. (1996) <doi:10.2307/2291420). In the typical application scenario, one can use the underlying sample distributions (histogram or KDE) to generate a map between two distinct but related domains to transfer the target data to the source domain and utilize the available source data for better predictive modeling design. Suitable for the case where a one-to-one sample matching is not possible, thus one needs to transform the underlying data distribution to utilize the more available data for modeling.

Preferred methods for common analytical tasks that are undertaken across the Department, including number formatting, project templates and curated reference data.

Statistical models fit to compositional data are often difficult to interpret due to the sum to 1 constraint on data variables. DImodelsVis provides novel visualisations tools to aid with the interpretation of models fit to compositional data. All visualisations in the package are created using the ggplot2 plotting framework and can be extended like every other ggplot object.

Intensive longitudinal data have become increasingly prevalent in various scientific disciplines. Many such data sets are noisy, multivariate, and multi-subject in nature. The change functions may also be continuous, or continuous but interspersed with periods of discontinuities (i.e., showing regime switches). The package dynr (Dynamic Modeling in R) is an R package that implements a set of computationally efficient algorithms for handling a broad class of linear and nonlinear discrete- and continuous-time models with regime-switching properties under the constraint of linear Gaussian measurement functions. The discrete-time models can generally take on the form of a state-space or difference equation model. The continuous-time models are generally expressed as a set of ordinary or stochastic differential equations. All estimation and computations are performed in C, but users are provided with the option to specify the model of interest via a set of simple and easy-to-learn model specification functions in R. Model fitting can be performed using single-subject time series data or multiple-subject longitudinal data. Ou, Hunter, & Chow (2019) <doi:10.32614%2FRJ-2019-012> provided a detailed introduction to the interface and more information on the algorithms.

This package provides the dose transition pathways (DTP) to project in advance the doses recommended by a model-based design for subsequent patients (stay, escalate, deescalate or stop early) using all the accumulated toxicity information; See Yap et al (2017) <doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-17-0582>. DTP can be used as a design and an operational tool and can be displayed as a table or flow diagram. The dtpcrm package also provides the modified continual reassessment method (CRM) and time-to-event CRM (TITE-CRM) with added practical considerations to allow stopping early when there is sufficient evidence that the lowest dose is too toxic and/or there is a sufficient number of patients dosed at the maximum tolerated dose.

This package creates survey designs for distance sampling surveys. These designs can be assessed for various effort and coverage statistics. Once the user is satisfied with the design characteristics they can generate a set of transects to use in their distance sampling survey. Many of the designs implemented in this R package were first made available in our Distance for Windows software and are detailed in Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008, ISBN-13: 978-0199225873). Find out more about estimating animal/plant abundance with distance sampling at <https://distancesampling.org/>.

Model fitting and evaluation tools for double generalized linear models (DGLMs). This class of models uses one generalized linear model (GLM) to fit the specified response and a second GLM to fit the deviance of the first model.

This package provides a set of control charts for batch processes based on the VAR model. The package contains the implementation of T2.var and W.var control charts based on VAR model coefficients using the couple vectors theory. In each time-instant the VAR coefficients are estimated from a historical in-control dataset and a decision rule is made for online classifying of a new batch data. Those charts allow efficient online monitoring since the very first time-instant. The offline version is available too. In order to evaluate the chart's performance, this package contains functions to generate batch data for offline and online monitoring.See in Danilo Marcondes Filho and Marcio Valk (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2019.12.038>.
