This is an EM algorithm based method for imputation of missing values in multivariate normal time series. The imputation algorithm accounts for both spatial and temporal correlation structures. Temporal patterns can be modeled using an ARIMA(p,d,q), optionally with seasonal components, a non-parametric cubic spline or generalized additive models with exogenous covariates. This algorithm is specially tailored for climate data with missing measurements from several monitors along a given region.
An estimation procedure for the analysis of nonparametric proportional hazards model (e.g. h(t) = h0(t)exp(b(t)'Z)), providing estimation of b(t) and its pointwise standard errors, and semiparametric proportional hazards model (e.g. h(t) = h0(t)exp(b(t)'Z1 + c*Z2)), providing estimation of b(t), c and their standard errors. More details can be found in Lu Tian et al. (2005) <doi:10.1198/016214504000000845>.
Implementation of a likelihood ratio test of differential onset of senescence between two groups. Given two groups with measures of age and of an individual trait likely to be subjected to senescence (e.g. body mass), OnAge provides an asymptotic p-value for the null hypothesis that senescence starts at the same age in both groups. The package implements the procedure used in Douhard et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/oik.04421>.

This package provides functions to combine data.frames in ways that require additional effort in base R, and to add metadata (id, title, ...) that can be used for printing and xlsx export. The Tatoo_report class is provided as a convenient helper to write several such tables to a workbook, one table per worksheet. Tatoo is built on top of openxlsx', but intimate knowledge of that package is not required to use tatoo.
The Time-Delay Correlation algorithm (TDCor) reconstructs the topology of a gene regulatory network (GRN) from time-series transcriptomic data. The algorithm is described in details in Lavenus et al., Plant Cell, 2015. It was initially developed to infer the topology of the GRN controlling lateral root formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. The time-series transcriptomic dataset which was used in this study is included in the package to illustrate how to use it.
