Create reproducible and transparent research projects in R'. This package is based on the Workflow for Open Reproducible Code in Science (WORCS), a step-by-step procedure based on best practices for Open Science. It includes an RStudio project template, several convenience functions, and all dependencies required to make your project reproducible and transparent. WORCS is explained in the tutorial paper by Van Lissa, Brandmaier, Brinkman, Lamprecht, Struiksma, & Vreede (2021). <doi:10.3233/DS-210031>.

This package performs both stepwise and backward heuristic search for candidate (epi)genetic drivers based on a binary multi-omics dataset. CaDrA's main objective is to identify features which, together, are significantly skewed or enriched pertaining to a given vector of continuous scores (e.g. sample-specific scores representing a phenotypic readout of interest, such as protein expression, pathway activity, etc.), based on the union occurence (i.e. logical OR) of the events.

Method for scalable identification of spatially variable genes (SVGs) in spatially-resolved transcriptomics data. The method is based on nearest-neighbor Gaussian processes and uses the BRISC algorithm for model fitting and parameter estimation. Allows identification and ranking of SVGs with flexible length scales across a tissue slide or within spatial domains defined by covariates. Scales linearly with the number of spatial locations and can be applied to datasets containing thousands or more spatial locations.

This package allows users to estimate the science-wise false discovery rate from Jager and Leek, "Empirical estimates suggest most published medical research is true," 2013, Biostatistics, using an EM approach due to the presence of rounding and censoring. It also allows users to estimate the false discovery rate conditional on covariates, using a regression framework, as per Boca and Leek, "A direct approach to estimating false discovery rates conditional on covariates," 2018, PeerJ.

This package extracts tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) ID data from mzIdentML (leveraging the mzID package) or text files. After collating the search results from multiple datasets it assesses their identification quality and optimize filtering criteria to achieve the maximum number of identifications while not exceeding a specified false discovery rate. It also contains a number of utilities to explore the MS/MS results and assess missed and irregular enzymatic cleavages, mass measurement accuracy, etc.

The dada2 package infers exact amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) from high-throughput amplicon sequencing data, replacing the coarser and less accurate OTU clustering approach. The dada2 pipeline takes as input demultiplexed fastq files, and outputs the sequence variants and their sample-wise abundances after removing substitution and chimera errors. Taxonomic classification is available via a native implementation of the RDP naive Bayesian classifier, and species-level assignment to 16S rRNA gene fragments by exact matching.

Pdist computes the euclidean distance between rows of a matrix X and rows of another matrix Y. Previously, this could be done by binding the two matrices together and calling dist, but this creates unnecessary computation by computing the distances between a row of X and another row of X, and likewise for Y. Pdist strictly computes distances across the two matrices, not within the same matrix, making computations significantly faster for certain use cases.

This package provides a powerful tool for automating the early detection of disease outbreaks in time series data. aeddo employs advanced statistical methods, including hierarchical models, in an innovative manner to effectively characterize outbreak signals. It is particularly useful for epidemiologists, public health professionals, and researchers seeking to identify and respond to disease outbreaks in a timely fashion. For a detailed reference on hierarchical models, consult Henrik Madsen and Poul Thyregod's book (2011), ISBN: 9781420091557.

Please install RKWard from <https://rkward.kde.org> to use this feature. The respective R package rkward cannot be installed directly from a repository, as it is a part of RKWard.

Decomposing value added growth into explanatory factors. A cost constrained value added function is defined to specify the production frontier. Industry estimates can also be aggregated using a weighted average approach. Details about the methodology and data can be found in Diewert and Fox (2018) <doi:10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190226718.013.19> and Zeng, Parsons, Diewert and Fox (2018) <https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/research-site/centreforappliedeconomicresearch-site/Documents/emg2018-6_SZeng_EMG-Slides.pdf>.

An implementation of sequential testing that uses evidence ratios computed from the weights of a set of models. These weights correspond either to Akaike weights computed from the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) or the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and following Burnham & Anderson (2004, <doi:10.1177/0049124104268644>) recommendations, or to pseudo-BMA weights computed from the WAIC or the LOO-IC of models fitted with brms and following Yao et al. (2017, <arXiv:1704.02030v3>).

This package can be used by students, college counselors, or involved parents interested in pursuing higher education, considering their options, and securing admission into their school of choice.

Surface topography calculations of Dirichlet's normal energy, relief index, surface slope, and orientation patch count for teeth using scans of enamel caps. Importantly, for the relief index and orientation patch count calculations to work, the scanned tooth files must be oriented with the occlusal plane parallel to the x and y axes, and perpendicular to the z axis. The files should also be simplified, and smoothed in some other software prior to uploading into R.

The implemented methods reach out to scientists that seek to estimate multiplicity of infection (MOI) and lineage (allele) frequencies and prevalences at molecular markers using the maximum-likelihood method described in Schneider (2018) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0194148>, and Schneider and Escalante (2014) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0097899>. Users can import data from Excel files in various formats, and perform maximum-likelihood estimation on the imported data by the package's moimle() function.

Optimal experimental designs for both population and individual studies based on nonlinear mixed-effect models. Often this is based on a computation of the Fisher Information Matrix. This package was developed for pharmacometric problems, and examples and predefined models are available for these types of systems. The methods are described in Nyberg et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2012.05.005>, and Foracchia et al. (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0169-2607(03)00073-7>.

This package provides functions to estimate, predict and interpolate areal data. For estimation and prediction we assume areal data is an average of an underlying continuous spatial process as in Moraga et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2017.04.006>, Johnson et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12942-020-00200-w>, and Wilson and Wakefield (2020) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy041>. The interpolation methodology is (mostly) based on Goodchild and Lam (1980, ISSN:01652273).

This package provides several functions for area level of small area estimation using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) methods with several univariate distributions for variables of interest. The dataset that is used in every function is generated accordingly in the Example. The rjags package is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Model-based estimators involve the HB estimators which include the mean and the variation of mean. For the reference, see Rao and Molina (2015) <doi:10.1002/9781118735855>.

Distance-correlation based Gene Set Analysis for longitudinal gene expression profiles. In longitudinal studies, the gene expression profiles were collected at each visit from each subject and hence there are multiple measurements of the gene expression profiles for each subject. The dcGSA package could be used to assess the associations between gene sets and clinical outcomes of interest by fully taking advantage of the longitudinal nature of both the gene expression profiles and clinical outcomes.

TRIP is a software framework that provides analytics services on antigen receptor (B cell receptor immunoglobulin, BcR IG | T cell receptor, TR) gene sequence data. It is a web application written in R Shiny. It takes as input the output files of the IMGT/HighV-Quest tool. Users can select to analyze the data from each of the input samples separately, or the combined data files from all samples and visualize the results accordingly.

This package provides qualitative methods for the validation of dynamic models. It contains

1. an orthogonal set of deviance measures for absolute, relative and ordinal scale and

2. approaches accounting for time shifts.

The first approach transforms time to take time delays and speed differences into account. The second divides the time series into interval units according to their main features and finds the longest common subsequence (LCS) using a dynamic programming algorithm.

This is a package supporting cluster analysis for cognitive diagnosis based on the Asymptotic Classification Theory (Chiu, Douglas & Li, 2009; doi:10.1007/s11336-009-9125-0). Given the sample statistic of sum-scores, cluster analysis techniques can be used to classify examinees into latent classes based on their attribute patterns. In addition to the algorithms used to classify data, three labeling approaches are proposed to label clusters so that examinees' attribute profiles can be obtained.

Joint dimension reduction and spatial clustering is conducted for Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data, and more details can be referred to Wei Liu, Xu Liao, Yi Yang, Huazhen Lin, Joe Yeong, Xiang Zhou, Xingjie Shi and Jin Liu. (2022) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkac219>. It is not only computationally efficient and scalable to the sample size increment, but also is capable of choosing the smoothness parameter and the number of clusters as well.
