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 provides the facility to calculate the Brainerd-Robinson similarity coefficient for the rows of an input table, and to calculate the significance of each coefficient based on a permutation approach; a heatmap is produced to visually represent the similarity matrix. Optionally, hierarchical agglomerative clustering can be performed and the silhouette method is used to identify an optimal number of clusters; the results of the clustering can be optionally used to sort the heatmap.

Instrumental variable estimation for linear models by two-stage least-squares (2SLS) regression or by robust-regression via M-estimation (2SM) or MM-estimation (2SMM). The main ivreg() model-fitting function is designed to provide a workflow as similar as possible to standard lm() regression. A wide range of methods is provided for fitted ivreg model objects, including extensive functionality for computing and graphing regression diagnostics in addition to other standard model tools.
This package implements the method to analyse weighted mobility networks or distribution networks as outlined in: Block, P., Stadtfeld, C., & Robins, G. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2021.08.003>. The purpose of the model is to analyse the structure of mobility, incorporating exogenous predictors pertaining to individuals and locations known from classical mobility analyses, as well as modelling emergent mobility patterns akin to structural patterns known from the statistical analysis of social networks.
This package contains basic tools for performing multiple-output quantile regression and computing regression quantile contours by means of directional regression quantiles. In the location case, one can thus obtain halfspace depth contours in two to six dimensions. Hallin, M., Paindaveine, D. and Å iman, M.

Model age schedules of mortality, nqx, suitable for a life table. This package implements the SVD-Comp mortality model indexed by either child or child/adult mortality. Given input value(s) of either 5q0 or (5q0, 45q15), the qx() function generates single-year 1qx or 5-year 5qx conditional age-specific probabilities of dying. See Clark (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1612.01408> and Clark (2019) <doi:10.1007/s13524-019-00785-3>.

This package provides qualitative methods for the validation of dynamic models. It contains
an orthogonal set of deviance measures for absolute, relative and ordinal scale and
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.
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 implements a basis function or functional data analysis framework for several techniques of multivariate analysis in continuous-time setting. Specifically, we introduced continuous-time analogues of several classical techniques of multivariate analysis, such as principal component analysis, canonical correlation analysis, Fisher linear discriminant analysis, K-means clustering, and so on. Details are in Biplab Paul, Philip T. Reiss, Erjia Cui and Noemi Foa (2025) "Continuous-time multivariate analysis" <doi: 10.1080/10618600.2024.2374570>.
