This package provides methods for sensory discrimination methods; duotrio, tetrad, triangle, 2-AFC, 3-AFC, A-not A, same-different, 2-AC and degree-of-difference. This enables the calculation of d-primes, standard errors of d-primes, sample size and power computations, and comparisons of different d-primes. Methods for profile likelihood confidence intervals and plotting are included. Most methods are described in Brockhoff, P.B. and Christensen, R.H.B. (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2009.04.003>.

xcore is an R package for transcription factor activity modeling based on known molecular signatures and user's gene expression data. Accompanying xcoredata package provides a collection of molecular signatures, constructed from publicly available ChiP-seq experiments. xcore use ridge regression to model changes in expression as a linear combination of molecular signatures and find their unknown activities. Obtained, estimates can be further tested for significance to select molecular signatures with the highest predicted effect on the observed expression changes.

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is widely used to investigate the composition of complex tissues since the technology allows researchers to define cell-types using unsupervised clustering of the transcriptome. However, due to differences in experimental methods and computational analyses, it is often challenging to directly compare the cells identified in two different experiments. scmap is a method for projecting cells from a scRNA-seq experiment onto the cell-types or individual cells identified in a different experiment.

This package contains a small DNS daemon especially made to handle queries of DNSBL, a simple way to publish IP addresses and/or (domain) names which are somehow notable. Such lists are frequently used to refuse e-mail service to clients known to send unwanted (spam) messages.

rbldnsd is not a general-purpose nameserver. It answers to a limited variety of queries. This makes it extremely fast---greatly outperforming both BIND and djbdns---whilst using relatively little memory.

This package provides robust methods to detect change-points in uni- or multivariate time series. They can cope with corrupted data and heavy tails. Focus is on the detection of abrupt changes in location, but changes in the scale or dependence structure can be detected as well. This package provides tests for change detection in uni- and multivariate time series based on Huberized versions of CUSUM tests proposed in Duerre and Fried (2019) <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.1905.06201>, and tests for change detection in univariate time series based on 2-sample U-statistics or 2-sample U-quantiles as proposed by Dehling et al. (2015) <DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-3076-0_12> and Dehling, Fried and Wendler (2020) <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asaa004>. Furthermore, the packages provides tests on changes in the scale or the correlation as proposed in Gerstenberger, Vogel and Wendler (2020) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2019.1629938>, Dehling et al. (2017) <DOI:10.1017/S026646661600044X>, and Wied et al. (2014) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2013.03.005>.

Assists the evaluation of whether and where to focus code optimization, using Amdahl's law and visual aids based on line profiling. Amdahl's profiler organizes profiling output files (including memory profiling) in a visually appealing way. It is meant to help to balance development vs. execution time by helping to identify the most promising sections of code to optimize and projecting potential gains. The package is an addition to R's standard profiling tools and is not a wrapper for them.

This package provides a collection of Bayesian networks (discrete, Gaussian, and conditional linear Gaussian) collated from recent academic literature. The bnRep_summary object provides an overview of the Bayesian networks in the repository and the package documentation includes details about the variables in each network. A Shiny app to explore the repository can be launched with bnRep_app() and is available online at <https://manueleleonelli.shinyapps.io/bnRep>. Reference: M. Leonelli (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2025.129502>.

This package provides functions to fit, via Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, the Bessel and Beta regressions to a data set with a bounded continuous response variable. The Bessel regression is a new and robust approach proposed in the literature. The EM version for the well known Beta regression is another major contribution of this package. See details in the references Barreto-Souza, Mayrink and Simas (2022) <doi:10.1111/anzs.12354> and Barreto-Souza, Mayrink and Simas (2020) <arXiv:2003.05157>.

Given a non-linear model, calculate the local explanation. We purpose view the data space, explanation space, and model residuals as ensemble graphic interactive on a shiny application. After an observation of interest is identified, the normalized variable importance of the local explanation is used as a 1D projection basis. The support of the local explanation is then explored by changing the basis with the use of the radial tour <doi:10.32614/RJ-2020-027>; <doi:10.1080/10618600.1997.10474754>.

An easy-to-use yet powerful system for plotting grouped data effect sizes. Various types of effect size can be estimated, then plotted together with a representation of the original data. Select from many possible data representations (box plots, violin plots, raw data points etc.), and combine as desired. Durga plots are implemented in base R, so are compatible with base R methods for combining plots, such as layout()'. See Khan & McLean (2023) <doi:10.1101/2023.02.06.526960>.

We introduce a generalized factor model designed to jointly analyze high-dimensional multi-modality data from multiple studies by extracting study-shared and specified factors. Our factor models account for heterogeneous noises and overdispersion among modality variables with augmented covariates. We propose an efficient and speedy variational estimation procedure for estimating model parameters, along with a novel criterion for selecting the optimal number of factors. More details can be referred to Liu et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2408.10542>.

The n-vector framework uses the normal vector to the Earth ellipsoid (called n-vector) as a non-singular position representation that turns out to be very convenient for practical position calculations. The n-vector is simple to use and gives exact answers for all global positions, and all distances, for both ellipsoidal and spherical Earth models. This package is a translation of the Matlab library from FFI, the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, as described in Gade (2010) <doi:10.1017/S0373463309990415>.

Ordered models such as ordered probit and ordered logit presume that the error variance is constant across observations. In the case that this assumption does not hold estimates of marginal effects are typically biased (Weiss (1997)). This package allows for generalization of ordered probit and ordered logit models by allowing the user to specify a model for the variance. Furthermore, the package includes functions to calculate the marginal effects. Wrapper functions to estimate the standard limited dependent variable models are also included.

Identifying spatially variable genes is critical in linking molecular cell functions with tissue phenotypes. This package utilizes a granularity-based dimension-agnostic tool, single-cell big-small patch (scBSP), implementing sparse matrix operation and KD tree methods for distance calculation, for the identification of spatially variable genes on large-scale data. The detailed description of this method is available at Wang, J. and Li, J. et al. 2023 (Wang, J. and Li, J. (2023), <doi:10.1038/s41467-023-43256-5>).

Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) is a technology to determine the binding kinetics between biomolecules. BLI signals are small and noisy when small molecules are investigated as ligands (analytes). We develop this package to process and analyze the BLI data acquired on Octet Red96 from Fortebio more accurately. Sun Q., Li X., et al (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41467-019-14238-3>. In this new version, we organize the BLI experiment data and analysis methods into a S4 class with self-explaining structure.

Combining Predictive Analytics and Experimental Design to Optimize Results. To be utilized to select a test data calibrated training population in high dimensional prediction problems and assumes that the explanatory variables are observed for all of the individuals. Once a "good" training set is identified, the response variable can be obtained only for this set to build a model for predicting the response in the test set. The algorithms in the package can be tweaked to solve some other subset selection problems.

Computational evaluation of variability across DNA or RNA sequencing datasets is a crucial step in genomics, as it allows both to evaluate reproducibility of replicates, and to compare different datasets to identify potential correlations. fCCAC applies functional Canonical Correlation Analysis to allow the assessment of: (i) reproducibility of biological or technical replicates, analyzing their shared covariance in higher order components; and (ii) the associations between different datasets. fCCAC represents a more sophisticated approach that complements Pearson correlation of genomic coverage.

This package aims to make NMR spectroscopy data analysis as easy as possible. It only requires a small set of functions to perform an entire analysis. Speaq offers the possibility of raw spectra alignment and quantitation but also an analysis based on features whereby the spectra are converted to peaks which are then grouped and turned into features. These features can be processed with any number of statistical tools either included in speaq or available elsewhere on CRAN.

This package provides a comprehensive set of functions designed for multivariate mean monitoring using the Critical-to-X Control Chart. These functions enable the determination of optimal control limits based on a specified in-control Average Run Length (ARL), the calculation of out-of-control ARL for a given control limit, and post-signal analysis to identify the specific variable responsible for a detected shift in the mean. This suite of tools provides robust support for precise and effective process monitoring and analysis.

Simulates a population under the Fisher-Wright model (fixed or stochastic population size) with a one-step neutral mutation process (stepwise mutation model, logistic mutation model and exponential mutation model supported). The stochastic population sizes are random Poisson distributed and different kinds of population growth are supported. For the stepwise mutation model, it is possible to specify locus and direction specific mutation rate (in terms of upwards and downwards mutation rate). Intermediate generations can be saved in order to study e.g. drift.
