EB-PRS is a novel method that leverages information for effect sizes across all the markers to improve the prediction accuracy. No parameter tuning is needed in the method, and no external information is needed. This R-package provides the calculation of polygenic risk scores from the given training summary statistics and testing data. We can use EB-PRS to extract main information, estimate Empirical Bayes parameters, derive polygenic risk scores for each individual in testing data, and evaluate the PRS according to AUC and predictive r2. See Song et al. (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007565> for a detailed presentation of the method.

Simulates judgments of frequency and duration based on the Probability Associator Time (PASS-T) model. PASS-T is a memory model based on a simple competitive artificial neural network. It can imitate human judgments of frequency and duration, which have been extensively studied in cognitive psychology (e.g. Hintzman (1970) <doi:10.1037/h0028865>, Betsch et al. (2010) <https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2010-18204-003>). The PASS-T model is an extension of the PASS model (Sedlmeier, 2002, ISBN:0198508638). The package provides an easy way to run simulations, which can then be compared with empirical data in human judgments of frequency and duration.

Calculations of an information criterion are proposed to check the quality of simulations results of Agent-based models (ABM/IBM) or other non-linear rule-based models. The POMDEV measure (Pattern Oriented Modelling DEViance) is based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence and likelihood theory. It basically indicates the deviance of simulation results from field observations. Once POMDEV scores and metropolis-hasting sampling on different model versions are effectuated, POMIC scores (Pattern Oriented Modelling Information Criterion) can be calculated. This method could be further developed to incorporate multiple patterns assessment. Piou C, U Berger and V Grimm (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2009.05.003>.

This is a modification of HDoutliers package. The HDoutliers algorithm is a powerful unsupervised algorithm for detecting anomalies in high-dimensional data, with a strong theoretical foundation. However, it suffers from some limitations that significantly hinder its performance level, under certain circumstances. This package implements the algorithm proposed in Talagala, Hyndman and Smith-Miles (2019) <arXiv:1908.04000> for detecting anomalies in high-dimensional data that addresses these limitations of HDoutliers algorithm. We define an anomaly as an observation that deviates markedly from the majority with a large distance gap. An approach based on extreme value theory is used for the anomalous threshold calculation.

An R package for iterative and batched record linkage, and applying epidemiological case definitions. diyar can be used for deterministic and probabilistic record linkage, or multistage record linkage combining both approaches. It features the implementation of nested match criteria, and mechanisms to address missing data and conflicting matches during stepwise record linkage. Case definitions are implemented by assigning records to groups based on match criteria such as person or place, and overlapping time or duration of events e.g. sample collection dates or periods of hospital stays. Matching records are assigned a unique group ID. Index and duplicate records are removed or further analyses as required.

Implementation of the Hysteretic and Gatekeeping Depressions Model (HGDM) which calculates variable connected/contributing areas and resulting discharge volumes in prairie basins dominated by depressions ("slough" or "potholes"). The small depressions are combined into a single "meta" depression which explicitly models the hysteresis between the storage of water and the connected/contributing areas of the depressions. The largest (greater than 5% of the total depressional area) depression (if it exists) is represented separately to model its gatekeeping, i.e. the blocking of upstream flows until it is filled. The methodolgy is described in detail in Shook and Pomeroy (2025, <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2025.132821>).

This package performs variable selection for many types of L1-regularised regressions using the revisited knockoffs procedure. This procedure uses a matrix of knockoffs of the covariates independent from the response variable Y. The idea is to determine if a covariate belongs to the model depending on whether it enters the model before or after its knockoff. The procedure suits for a wide range of regressions with various types of response variables. Regression models available are exported from the R packages glmnet and ordinalNet'. Based on the paper linked to via the URL below: Gegout A., Gueudin A., Karmann C. (2019) <arXiv:1907.03153>.

Based on the input data an n-dimensional cube with sub cells of user specified side length is created. The number of sample points which fall in each sub cube is counted, and with the cell volume and overall sample size an empirical probability can be computed. A number of cubes of higher resolution can be superimposed. The basic method stems from J.L. Bentley in "Multidimensional Divide and Conquer". J. L. Bentley (1980) <doi:10.1145/358841.358850>. Furthermore a simple kernel density estimation method is made available, as well as an expansion of Bentleys method, which offers a kernel approach for the grid method.

More information is published in Sonja Jäckle, Rieke Alpers, Lisa Kühne, Jakob Schumacher, Benjamin Geisler, Max Westphal "'EsteR â A Digital Toolkit for COVID-19 Decision Support in Local Health Authorities" (2022) <doi:10.3233/SHTI220799> and Sonja Jäckle, Elias Röger, Volker Dicken, Benjamin Geisler, Jakob Schumacher, Max Westphal "A Statistical Model to Assess Risk for Supporting COVID-19 Quarantine Decisions" (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijerph18179166>.

The Philippines frequently experiences tropical cyclones (called bagyo in the Filipino language) because of its geographical position. These cyclones typically bring heavy rainfall, leading to widespread flooding, as well as strong winds that cause significant damage to human life, crops, and property. Data on cyclones are collected and curated by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA and made available through its website <https://bagong.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/tropical-cyclone/publications/annual-report>. This package contains Philippine tropical cyclones data in a machine-readable format. It is hoped that this data package provides an interesting and unique dataset for data exploration and visualisation.

This package implements several spatial and spatio-temporal scalable disease mapping models for high-dimensional count data using the INLA technique for approximate Bayesian inference in latent Gaussian models (Orozco-Acosta et al., 2021 <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2021.100496>; Orozco-Acosta et al., 2023 <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2023.107403> and Vicente et al., 2023 <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10263-x>). The creation and develpment of this package has been supported by Project MTM2017-82553-R (AEI/FEDER, UE) and Project PID2020-113125RB-I00/MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033. It has also been partially funded by the Public University of Navarra (project PJUPNA2001).

An implementation of Conic Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (CMARS) in R. See Weber et al. (2011) CMARS: a new contribution to nonparametric regression with multivariate adaptive regression splines supported by continuous optimization, <DOI:10.1080/17415977.2011.624770>. It constructs models by using the terms obtained from the forward step of MARS and then estimates parameters by using Tikhonov regularization and conic quadratic optimization. It is possible to construct models for prediction and binary classification. It provides performance measures for the model developed. The package needs the optimisation software MOSEK <https://www.mosek.com/> to construct the models. Please follow the instructions in Rmosek for the installation.

Three methods are implemented in R to facilitate the aggregations of flags in official statistics. From the underlying flags the highest in the hierarchy, the most frequent, or with the highest total weight is propagated to the flag(s) for EU or other aggregates. Below there are some reference documents for the topic: <https://sdmx.org/wp-content/uploads/CL_OBS_STATUS_v2_1.docx>, <https://sdmx.org/wp-content/uploads/CL_CONF_STATUS_1_2_2018.docx>, <http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database/information>, <http://www.oecd.org/sdd/33869551.pdf>, <https://sdmx.org/wp-content/uploads/CL_OBS_STATUS_implementation_20-10-2014.pdf>.

This package implements the integrative conditional autoregressive horseshoe model discussed in Jendoubi, T., Ebbels, T.M. Integrative analysis of time course metabolic data and biomarker discovery. BMC Bioinformatics 21, 11 (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12859-019-3333-0>. The model consists in three levels: Metabolic pathways level modeling interdependencies between variables via a conditional auto-regressive (CAR) component, integrative analysis level to identify potential associations between heterogeneous omic variables via a Horseshoe prior and experimental design level to capture experimental design conditions through a mixed-effects model. The package also provides functions to simulate data from the model, construct pathway matrices, post process and plot model parameters.

Estimate haplotypic or composite pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) in polyploids, using either genotypes or genotype likelihoods. Support is provided to estimate the popular measures of LD: the LD coefficient D, the standardized LD coefficient D', and the Pearson correlation coefficient r. All estimates are returned with corresponding standard errors. These estimates and standard errors can then be used for shrinkage estimation. The main functions are ldfast(), ldest(), mldest(), sldest(), plot.lddf(), format_lddf(), and ldshrink(). Details of the methods are available in Gerard (2021a) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13349> and Gerard (2021b) <doi:10.1038/s41437-021-00462-5>.

Implementation of the Swiss Confederation's standard analysis model for salary analyses <https://www.ebg.admin.ch/en/equal-pay-analysis-with-logib> in R. The analysis is run at company-level and the model is intended for medium-sized and large companies. It can technically be used with 50 or more employees (apprentices, trainees/interns and expats are not included in the analysis). Employees with at least 100 employees are required by the Gender Equality Act to conduct an equal pay analysis. This package allows users to run the equal salary analysis in R, providing additional transparency with respect to the methodology and simple automation possibilities.

This package implements the synthetic control group method for comparative case studies as described in Abadie and Gardeazabal (2003) and Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2010, 2011, 2014). The synthetic control method allows for effect estimation in settings where a single unit (a state, country, firm, etc.) is exposed to an event or intervention. It provides a data-driven procedure to construct synthetic control units based on a weighted combination of comparison units that approximates the characteristics of the unit that is exposed to the intervention. A combination of comparison units often provides a better comparison for the unit exposed to the intervention than any comparison unit alone.

This package is an implementation of a regularized regression prediction and empirical Bayes method to recover the true gene expression profile in noisy and sparse single-cell RNA-seq data. In single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies, only a small fraction of the transcripts present in each cell are sequenced. This leads to unreliable quantification of genes with low or moderate expression, which hinders downstream analysis. This package single-cell analysis via expression recovery (SAVER) implements an expression recovery method for unique molecule index (UMI)-based scRNA-seq data that borrows information across genes and cells to provide accurate expression estimates for all genes.

This package provides a comprehensive high-level package, for composite indicator construction and analysis. It is a "development environment" for composite indicators and scoreboards, which includes utilities for construction (indicator selection, denomination, imputation, data treatment, normalisation, weighting and aggregation) and analysis (multivariate analysis, correlation plotting, short cuts for principal component analysis, global sensitivity analysis, and more). A composite indicator is completely encapsulated inside a single hierarchical list called a "coin". This allows a fast and efficient work flow, as well as making quick copies, testing methodological variations and making comparisons. It also includes many plotting options, both statistical (scatter plots, distribution plots) as well as for presenting results.

This package provides functions to compute small area estimates based on a basic area or unit-level model. The model is fit using restricted maximum likelihood, or in a hierarchical Bayesian way. In the latter case numerical integration is used to average over the posterior density for the between-area variance. The output includes the model fit, small area estimates and corresponding mean squared errors, as well as some model selection measures. Additional functions provide means to compute aggregate estimates and mean squared errors, to minimally adjust the small area estimates to benchmarks at a higher aggregation level, and to graphically compare different sets of small area estimates.

Simulates events from one dimensional nonhomogeneous Poisson point processes (NHPPPs) as per Trikalinos and Sereda (2024, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.00358> and 2024, <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0311311>). Functions are based on three algorithms that provably sample from a target NHPPP: the time-transformation of a homogeneous Poisson process (of intensity one) via the inverse of the integrated intensity function (Cinlar E, "Theory of stochastic processes" (1975, ISBN:0486497996)); the generation of a Poisson number of order statistics from a fixed density function; and the thinning of a majorizing NHPPP via an acceptance-rejection scheme (Lewis PAW, Shedler, GS (1979) <doi:10.1002/nav.3800260304>).

This package implements the generalized semi-supervised elastic-net. This method extends the supervised elastic-net problem, and thus it is a practical solution to the problem of feature selection in semi-supervised contexts. Its mathematical formulation is presented from a general perspective, covering a wide range of models. We focus on linear and logistic responses, but the implementation could be easily extended to other losses in generalized linear models. We develop a flexible and fast implementation, written in C++ using RcppArmadillo and integrated into R via Rcpp modules. See Culp, M. 2013 <doi:10.1080/10618600.2012.657139> for references on the Joint Trained Elastic-Net.

The distributions of the weight of evidence (log Bayes factor) favouring case over noncase status in a test dataset (or test folds generated by cross-validation) can be used to quantify the performance of a diagnostic test (McKeigue (2019), <doi:10.1177/0962280218776989>). The package can be used with any test dataset on which you have observed case-control status and have computed prior and posterior probabilities of case status using a model learned on a training dataset. To quantify how the predictor will behave as a risk stratifier, the quantiles of the distributions of weight of evidence in cases and controls can be calculated and plotted.
