mastR is an R package designed for automated screening of signatures of interest for specific research questions. The package is developed for generating refined lists of signature genes from multiple group comparisons based on the results from edgeR and limma differential expression (DE) analysis workflow. It also takes into account the background noise of tissue-specificity, which is often ignored by other marker generation tools. This package is particularly useful for the identification of group markers in various biological and medical applications, including cancer research and developmental biology.

The fmcsR package introduces an efficient maximum common substructure (MCS) algorithms combined with a novel matching strategy that allows for atom and/or bond mismatches in the substructures shared among two small molecules. The resulting flexible MCSs (FMCSs) are often larger than strict MCSs, resulting in the identification of more common features in their source structures, as well as a higher sensitivity in finding compounds with weak structural similarities. The fmcsR package provides several utilities to use the FMCS algorithm for pairwise compound comparisons, structure similarity searching and clustering.

Bayesian approaches for analyzing multivariate data in ecology. Estimation is performed using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods via Three. JAGS types of models may be fitted: 1) With explanatory variables only, boral fits independent column Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) to each column of the response matrix; 2) With latent variables only, boral fits a purely latent variable model for model-based unconstrained ordination; 3) With explanatory and latent variables, boral fits correlated column GLMs with latent variables to account for any residual correlation between the columns of the response matrix.

P-values and no/lowest observed (adverse) effect concentration values derived from the closure principle computational approach test (Lehmann, R. et al. (2015) <doi:10.1007/s00477-015-1079-4>) are provided. The package contains functions to generate intersection hypotheses according to the closure principle (Bretz, F., Hothorn, T., Westfall, P. (2010) <doi:10.1201/9781420010909>), an implementation of the computational approach test (Ching-Hui, C., Nabendu, P., Jyh-Jiuan, L. (2010) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2010.508860>) and the combination of both, that is, the closure principle computational approach test.

This package provides a collection of acceleration schemes for proximal gradient methods for estimating penalized regression parameters described in Goldstein, Studer, and Baraniuk (2016) <arXiv:1411.3406>. Schemes such as Fast Iterative Shrinkage and Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA) by Beck and Teboulle (2009) <doi:10.1137/080716542> and the adaptive stepsize rule introduced in Wright, Nowak, and Figueiredo (2009) <doi:10.1109/TSP.2009.2016892> are included. You provide the objective function and proximal mappings, and it takes care of the issues like stepsize selection, acceleration, and stopping conditions for you.

An ensemble of algorithms that enable the clustering of networks and data matrices (such as counts, categorical or continuous) with different type of generative models. Model selection and clustering is performed in combination by optimizing the Integrated Classification Likelihood (which is equivalent to minimizing the description length). Several models are available such as: Stochastic Block Model, degree corrected Stochastic Block Model, Mixtures of Multinomial, Latent Block Model. The optimization is performed thanks to a combination of greedy local search and a genetic algorithm (see <arXiv:2002:11577> for more details).

This package provides functions for plotting, and animating, the output of importance samplers, sequential Monte Carlo samplers (SMC) and ensemble-based methods. The package can be used to plot and animate histograms, densities, scatter plots and time series, and to plot the genealogy of an SMC or ensemble-based algorithm. These functions all rely on algorithm output to be supplied in tidy format. A function is provided to transform algorithm output from matrix format (one Monte Carlo point per row) to the tidy format required by the plotting and animating functions.

This is a stochastic framework that combines biochemical reaction networks with extended Kalman filter and Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoothing. This framework allows to investigate the dynamics of cell differentiation from high-dimensional clonal tracking data subject to measurement noise, false negative errors, and systematically unobserved cell types. Our tool can provide statistical support to biologists in gene therapy clonal tracking studies for a deeper understanding of clonal reconstitution dynamics. Further details on the methods can be found in L. Del Core et al., (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.07.08.499353>.

Data are partitioned (clustered) into k clusters "around medoids", which is a more robust version of K-means implemented in the function pam() in the cluster package. The PAM algorithm is described in Kaufman and Rousseeuw (1990) <doi:10.1002/9780470316801>. Please refer to the pam() function documentation for more references. Clustered data is plotted as a split heatmap allowing visualisation of representative "group-clusters" (medoids) in the data as separated fractions of the graph while those "sub-clusters" are visualised as a traditional heatmap based on hierarchical clustering.

Facilitate the management of data from knowledge resources that are frequently used alone or together in research environments. In TKCat', knowledge resources are manipulated as modeled database (MDB) objects. These objects provide access to the data tables along with a general description of the resource and a detail data model documenting the tables, their fields and their relationships. These MDBs are then gathered in catalogs that can be easily explored an shared. Finally, TKCat provides tools to easily subset, filter and combine MDBs and create new catalogs suited for specific needs.

Assess the significance of identified clusters and estimates the true number of clusters by comparing the explained variation due to the clustering from the original data to that produced by clustering a unimodal reference distribution which preserves the covariance structure in the data. The reference distribution is generated using kernel density estimation and a Gaussian copula framework. A dimension reduction strategy and sparse covariance estimation optimize this method for the high-dimensional, low-sample size setting. This method is described in Helgeson, Vock, and Bair (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13376>.

This package provides a compendium of new geometries, coordinate systems, statistical transformations, scales and fonts for ggplot2, including splines, 1d and 2d densities, univariate average shifted histograms, a new map coordinate system based on the PROJ.4-library along with geom_cartogram() that mimics the original functionality of geom_map(), formatters for "bytes", a stat_stepribbon() function, increased plotly compatibility and the StateFace open source font ProPublica. Further new functionality includes lollipop charts, dumbbell charts, the ability to encircle points and coordinate-system-based text annotations.

This package works as a prelude replacement for Haskell, providing more functionality and types out of the box than the standard prelude (such as common data types like ByteString and Text), as well as removing common ``gotchas'', like partial functions and lazy I/O. The guiding principle here is:

• If something is safe to use in general and has no expected naming conflicts, expose it.

• If something should not always be used, or has naming conflicts, expose it from another module in the hierarchy.

We propose a general ensemble classification framework, RaSE algorithm, for the sparse classification problem. In RaSE algorithm, for each weak learner, some random subspaces are generated and the optimal one is chosen to train the model on the basis of some criterion. To be adapted to the problem, a novel criterion, ratio information criterion (RIC) is put up with based on Kullback-Leibler divergence. Besides minimizing RIC, multiple criteria can be applied, for instance, minimizing extended Bayesian information criterion (eBIC), minimizing training error, minimizing the validation error, minimizing the cross-validation error, minimizing leave-one-out error. There are various choices of base classifier, for instance, linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbour, logistic regression, decision trees, random forest, support vector machines. RaSE algorithm can also be applied to do feature ranking, providing us the importance of each feature based on the selected percentage in multiple subspaces. RaSE framework can be extended to the general prediction framework, including both classification and regression. We can use the selected percentages of variables for variable screening. The latest version added the variable screening function for both regression and classification problems.

This package provides a collection of measures for measuring ecological diversity. Ecological diversity comes in two flavors: alpha diversity measures the diversity within a single site or sample, and beta diversity measures the diversity across two sites or samples. This package overlaps considerably with other R packages such as vegan', gUniFrac', betapart', and fossil'. We also include a wide range of functions that are implemented in software outside the R ecosystem, such as scipy', Mothur', and scikit-bio'. The implementations here are designed to be basic and clear to the reader.

An interface to the Briq API <https://briq.github.io>. Briq is a tool that aims to promote employee engagement by helping employees recognize and reward each other. Employees can praise and thank one another (for achieving a company goal, for example) by giving virtual credits (known as briqs or bqs') that can be redeemed for various rewards. The Briq API lets you create, read, update and delete users, user groups, transactions and messages. This package provides functions that simplify getting the users, user groups and transactions of your organization into R.

The goal of cvsem is to provide functions that allow for comparing Structural Equation Models (SEM) using cross-validation. Users can specify multiple SEMs using lavaan syntax. cvsem computes the Kullback Leibler (KL) Divergence between 1) the model implied covariance matrix estimated from the training data and 2) the sample covariance matrix estimated from the test data described in Cudeck, Robert & Browne (1983) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02>. The KL Divergence is computed for each of the specified SEMs allowing for the models to be compared based on their prediction errors.
