This package provides a systematic biology tool was developed to identify dysregulated miRNAs via a miRNA-miRNA interaction network. IDMIR first constructed a weighted miRNA interaction network through integrating miRNA-target interaction information, molecular function data from Gene Ontology (GO) database and gene transcriptomic data in specific-disease context, and then, it used a network propagation algorithm on the network to identify significantly dysregulated miRNAs.

It is a refined description of the Lemna TKTD model published by Schmitt et al. (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2013.01.017>.

This package provides functionality to generate compound optimal designs for targeting the multiple experimental objectives directly, ensuring that the full set of research questions is answered as economically as possible. Designs can be found using point or coordinate exchange algorithms combining estimation, inference and lack-of-fit criteria that account for model inadequacy.

This package implements linear and generalized linear models for provider profiling, incorporating both fixed and random effects. For large-scale providers, the linear profiled-based method and the SerBIN method for binary data reduce the computational burden. Provides post-modeling features, such as indirect and direct standardization measures, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and post-estimation visualization. For more information, see Wu et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/sim.9387>.
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.
Within-subject mediation analysis using structural equation modeling. Examine how changes in an outcome variable between two conditions are mediated through one or more variables. Supports within-subject mediation analysis using the lavaan package by Rosseel (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02>, and extends Monte Carlo confidence interval estimation to missing data scenarios using the semmcci package by Pesigan and Cheung (2023) <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02114-4>.
The biodb package provides access to standard remote chemical and biological databases (ChEBI, KEGG, HMDB, ...), as well as to in-house local database files (CSV, SQLite), with easy retrieval of entries, access to web services, search of compounds by mass and/or name, and mass spectra matching for LCMS and MSMS. Its architecture as a development framework facilitates the development of new database connectors for local projects or inside separate published packages.
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.
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.
