This is an open-source implementation of the Congruent Matching Profile Segments (CMPS) method (Chen et al. 2019)<doi:10.1016/j.forsciint.2019.109964>. In general, it can be used for objective comparison of striated tool marks, and in our examples, we specifically use it for bullet signatures comparisons. The CMPS score is expected to be large if two signatures are similar. So it can also be considered as a feature that measures the similarity of two bullet signatures.

Perform optimal transport based tests in factorial designs as introduced in Groppe et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2509.13970> via the FDOTT() function. These tests are inspired by ANOVA and its nonparametric counterparts. They allow for testing linear relationships in factorial designs between finitely supported probability measures on a metric space. Such relationships include equality of all measures (no treatment effect), interaction effects between a number of factors, as well as main and simple factor effects.

This package provides robust methods to detect change-points in uni- or multivariate time series. They can cope with corrupted data and heavy tails. Focus is on the detection of abrupt changes in location, but changes in the scale or dependence structure can be detected as well. This package provides tests for change detection in uni- and multivariate time series based on Huberized versions of CUSUM tests proposed in Duerre and Fried (2019) <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.1905.06201>, and tests for change detection in univariate time series based on 2-sample U-statistics or 2-sample U-quantiles as proposed by Dehling et al. (2015) <DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-3076-0_12> and Dehling, Fried and Wendler (2020) <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asaa004>. Furthermore, the packages provides tests on changes in the scale or the correlation as proposed in Gerstenberger, Vogel and Wendler (2020) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2019.1629938>, Dehling et al. (2017) <DOI:10.1017/S026646661600044X>, and Wied et al. (2014) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2013.03.005>.

This package aims to make NMR spectroscopy data analysis as easy as possible. It only requires a small set of functions to perform an entire analysis. Speaq offers the possibility of raw spectra alignment and quantitation but also an analysis based on features whereby the spectra are converted to peaks which are then grouped and turned into features. These features can be processed with any number of statistical tools either included in speaq or available elsewhere on CRAN.

MeLSI (Metric Learning for Statistical Inference) is a novel machine learning method for microbiome data analysis that learns optimal distance metrics to improve statistical power in detecting group differences. Unlike traditional distance metrics (Bray-Curtis, Euclidean, Jaccard), MeLSI adapts to the specific characteristics of your dataset to maximize separation between groups. The method uses an ensemble of weak learners to identify which microbial features drive group differences, providing both improved statistical power and biological interpretability through feature importance weights.

xcore is an R package for transcription factor activity modeling based on known molecular signatures and user's gene expression data. Accompanying xcoredata package provides a collection of molecular signatures, constructed from publicly available ChiP-seq experiments. xcore use ridge regression to model changes in expression as a linear combination of molecular signatures and find their unknown activities. Obtained, estimates can be further tested for significance to select molecular signatures with the highest predicted effect on the observed expression changes.

The purpose of this package is to provide a user friendly way to interface with Stan that is suitable for those new to modeling. For more regarding the modeling mathematics and computational techniques we use see our publication in Molecular Ecology Resources titled Dirichlet multinomial modeling outperforms alternatives for analysis of ecological count data (Harrison et al. 2020 <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13128>).

We consider a set of sample counts obtained by sampling arbitrary fractions of a finite volume containing an homogeneously dispersed population of identical objects. This package implements a Bayesian derivation of the posterior probability distribution of the population size using a binomial likelihood and non-conjugate, discrete uniform priors under sampling with or without replacement. This can be used for a variety of statistical problems involving absolute quantification under uncertainty. See Comoglio et al. (2013) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0074388>.

This package provides functions for calculating various measures of foreign policy similarity or association commonly used in the study of international relations. These include Signorino and Ritter's S statistic (weighted and unweighted), Benati and Capurri's chance-corrected S statistic (A), Cohen's weighted kappa, Scott's pi, and Kendall's tau-b. The package facilitates the generation of dyadic similarity scores for empirical analyses and can also serve as an educational resource for understanding how such measures are calculated.

Accurate estimates of the diets of predators are required in many areas of ecology, but for many species current methods are imprecise, limited to the last meal, and often biased. The diversity of fatty acids and their patterns in organisms, coupled with the narrow limitations on their biosynthesis, properties of digestion in monogastric animals, and the prevalence of large storage reservoirs of lipid in many predators, led to the development of quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA) to study predator diets.

Identify statistically significant flow clusters using the local spatial network autocorrelation statistic G_ij* proposed by Berglund and Karlström (1999) <doi:10.1007/s101090050013>. The metric, an extended statistic of Getis/Ord G ('Getis and Ord 1992) <doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1992.tb00261.x>, detects a group of flows having similar traits in terms of directionality. You provide OD data and the associated polygon to get results with several parameters, some of which are defined by spdep package.

SGSeq is a package for analyzing splice events from RNA-seq data. Input data are RNA-seq reads mapped to a reference genome in BAM format. Genes are represented as a splice graph, which can be obtained from existing annotation or predicted from the mapped sequence reads. Splice events are identified from the graph and are quantified locally using structurally compatible reads at the start or end of each splice variant. The software includes functions for splice event prediction, quantification, visualization and interpretation.

The ggbio package extends and specializes the grammar of graphics for biological data. The graphics are designed to answer common scientific questions, in particular those often asked of high throughput genomics data. All core Bioconductor data structures are supported, where appropriate. The package supports detailed views of particular genomic regions, as well as genome-wide overviews. Supported overviews include ideograms and grand linear views. High-level plots include sequence fragment length, edge-linked interval to data view, mismatch pileup, and several splicing summaries.

This package wires together large collections of single-cell RNA-seq datasets, which allows for both the identification of recurrent cell clusters and the propagation of information between datasets in multi-sample or atlas-scale collections. Conos focuses on the uniform mapping of homologous cell types across heterogeneous sample collections. For instance, users could investigate a collection of dozens of peripheral blood samples from cancer patients combined with dozens of controls, which perhaps includes samples of a related tissue such as lymph nodes.
