This is a set of functions to retrieve information about GIMMS NDVI3g files currently available online; download (and re-arrange, in the case of NDVI3g.v0) the half-monthly data sets; import downloaded files from ENVI binary (NDVI3g.v0) or NetCDF format (NDVI3g.v1) directly into R based on the widespread raster package; conduct quality control; and generate monthly composites (e.g., maximum values) from the half-monthly input data. As a special gimmick, a method is included to conveniently apply the Mann-Kendall trend test upon Raster* images, optionally featuring trend-free pre-whitening to account for lag-1 autocorrelation.

This package provides a method for detecting outliers with a Kalman filter on impulsed noised outliers and prediction on cleaned data. kfino is a robust sequential algorithm allowing to filter data with a large number of outliers. This algorithm is based on simple latent linear Gaussian processes as in the Kalman Filter method and is devoted to detect impulse-noised outliers. These are data points that differ significantly from other observations. ML (Maximization Likelihood) and EM (Expectation-Maximization algorithm) algorithms were implemented in kfino'. The method is described in full details in the following arXiv e-Print: <arXiv:2208.00961>.

This package provides methods for estimating and utilizing the multivariate generalized propensity score (mvGPS) for multiple continuous exposures described in Williams, J.R, and Crespi, C.M. (2020) <arxiv:2008.13767>. The methods allow estimation of a dose-response surface relating the joint distribution of multiple continuous exposure variables to an outcome. Weights are constructed assuming a multivariate normal density for the marginal and conditional distribution of exposures given a set of confounders. Confounders can be different for different exposure variables. The weights are designed to achieve balance across all exposure dimensions and can be used to estimate dose-response surfaces.

Estimates random effect latent measurement models, wherein the loadings, residual variances, intercepts, latent means, and latent variances all vary across groups. The random effect variances of the measurement parameters are then modeled using a hierarchical inclusion model, wherein the inclusion of the variances (i.e., whether it is effectively zero or non-zero) is informed by similar parameters (of the same type, or of the same item). This additional hierarchical structure allows the evidence in favor of partial invariance to accumulate more quickly, and yields more certain decisions about measurement invariance. Martin, Williams, and Rast (2020) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/qbdjt>.

This R package provides an implementation of multivariate extensions of a well-known fractal analysis technique, Detrended Fluctuations Analysis (DFA; Peng et al., 1995<doi:10.1063/1.166141>), for multivariate time series: multivariate DFA (mvDFA). Several coefficients are implemented that take into account the correlation structure of the multivariate time series to varying degrees. These coefficients may be used to analyze long memory and changes in the dynamic structure that would by univariate DFA. Therefore, this R package aims to extend and complement the original univariate DFA (Peng et al., 1995) for estimating the scaling properties of nonstationary time series.

The library allows to perform a multivariate time series classification based on the use of Discrete Wavelet Transform for feature extraction, a step wise discriminant to select the most relevant features and finally, the use of a linear or quadratic discriminant for classification. Note that all these steps can be done separately which allows to implement new steps. Velasco, I., Sipols, A., de Blas, C. S., Pastor, L., & Bayona, S. (2023) <doi:10.1186/S12938-023-01079-X>. Percival, D. B., & Walden, A. T. (2000,ISBN:0521640687). Maharaj, E. A., & Alonso, A. M. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.09.006>.

The analysis of environmental data often requires the detection of trends and change-points. This package includes tests for trend detection (Cox-Stuart Trend Test, Mann-Kendall Trend Test, (correlated) Hirsch-Slack Test, partial Mann-Kendall Trend Test, multivariate (multisite) Mann-Kendall Trend Test, (Seasonal) Sen's slope, partial Pearson and Spearman correlation trend test), change-point detection (Lanzante's test procedures, Pettitt's test, Buishand Range Test, Buishand U Test, Standard Normal Homogeinity Test), detection of non-randomness (Wallis-Moore Phase Frequency Test, Bartels rank von Neumann's ratio test, Wald-Wolfowitz Test) and the two sample Robust Rank-Order Distributional Test.

Exclusion-based parentage assignment is essential for studies in biodiversity conservation and breeding programs - Kang Huang, Rui Mi, Derek W Dunn, Tongcheng Wang, Baoguo Li, (2018), <doi:10.1534/genetics.118.301592>. The tool compares multilocus genotype data of potential parents and offspring, identifying likely parentage relationships while accounting for genotyping errors, missing data, and duplicate genotypes. acoRn includes two algorithms: one generates synthetic genotype data based on user-defined parameters, while the other analyzes existing genotype data to identify parentage patterns. The package is versatile, applicable to diverse organisms, and offers clear visual outputs, making it a valuable resource for researchers.

This package provides a tool for causal meta-analysis. This package implements the aggregation formulas and inference methods proposed in Berenfeld et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.20168>. Users can input aggregated data across multiple studies and compute causally meaningful aggregated effects of their choice (risk difference, risk ratio, odds ratio, etc) under user-specified population weighting. The built-in function camea() allows to obtain precise variance estimates for these effects and to compare the latter to a classical meta-analysis aggregate, the random effect model, as implemented in the metafor package <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=metafor>.

The amplitude-dependent exponential autoregressive (EXPAR) time series model, initially proposed by Haggan and Ozaki (1981) <doi:10.2307/2335819> has been implemented in this package. Throughout various studies, the model has been found to adequately capture the cyclical nature of datasets. Parameter estimation of such family of models has been tackled by the approach of minimizing the residual sum of squares (RSS). Model selection among various candidate orders has been implemented using various information criteria, viz., Akaike information criteria (AIC), corrected Akaike information criteria (AICc) and Bayesian information criteria (BIC). An illustration utilizing data of egg price indices has also been provided.

SPIAT (**Sp**atial **I**mage **A**nalysis of **T**issues) is an R package with a suite of data processing, quality control, visualization and data analysis tools. SPIAT is compatible with data generated from single-cell spatial proteomics platforms (e.g. OPAL, CODEX, MIBI, cellprofiler). SPIAT reads spatial data in the form of X and Y coordinates of cells, marker intensities and cell phenotypes. SPIAT includes six analysis modules that allow visualization, calculation of cell colocalization, categorization of the immune microenvironment relative to tumor areas, analysis of cellular neighborhoods, and the quantification of spatial heterogeneity, providing a comprehensive toolkit for spatial data analysis.

This package provides functions to standardise the analysis of Differential Allelic Representation (DAR). DAR compromises the integrity of Differential Expression analysis results as it can bias expression, influencing the classification of genes (or transcripts) as being differentially expressed. DAR analysis results in an easy-to-interpret value between 0 and 1 for each genetic feature of interest, where 0 represents identical allelic representation and 1 represents complete diversity. This metric can be used to identify features prone to false-positive calls in Differential Expression analysis, and can be leveraged with statistical methods to alleviate the impact of such artefacts on RNA-seq data.

Several fast random number generators are provided as C++ header-only libraries: the PCG family as well as Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+. Additionally, fast functions for generating random numbers according to a uniform, normal and exponential distribution are included. The latter two use the Ziggurat algorithm originally proposed by Marsaglia and Tsang. These functions are exported to R and as a C++ interface and are enabled for use with the default 64 bit generator from the PCG family, Xoroshiro128+ and Xoshiro256+ as well as the 64 bit version of the 20 rounds Threefry engine (Salmon et al., 2011) as provided by the package sitmo.

Parse and read the files that comply with the brain imaging data structure, or BIDS format, see the publication from Gorgolewski, K., Auer, T., Calhoun, V. et al. (2016) <doi:10.1038/sdata.2016.44>. Provides query functions to extract and check the BIDS entity information (such as subject, session, task, etc.) from the file paths and suffixes according to the specification. The package is developed and used in the reproducible analysis and visualization of intracranial electroencephalography, or RAVE', see Magnotti, J. F., Wang, Z., and Beauchamp, M. S. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117341>; see citation("bidsr") for details and attributions.

The user first provides design vectors n, a and b as well as null (p0) and alternative (p1) benchmark values for the probability of success. The key function "mv.plots.SM()" calculates mean values of exact upper and lower limits based on four different rank ordering methods. These plots form the basis of selecting a rank ordering. The function "inference()" calculates exact limits from a provided realisation and ordering choice. For more information, see "Exact confidence limits after a group sequential single arm binary trial" by Lloyd, C.J. (2020), Statistics in Medicine, Volume 38, 2389-2399, <doi:10.1002/sim.8909>.

Applies the change-in-effect estimate method to assess confounding effects in medical and epidemiological research (Greenland & Pearce (2016) <doi:10.1146/annurev-publhealth-031914-122559> ). It starts with a crude model including only the outcome and exposure variables. At each of the subsequent steps, one variable which creates the largest change among the remaining variables is selected. This process is repeated until all variables have been entered into the model (Wang Z. Stata Journal 2007; 7, Number 2, pp. 183â 196). Currently, the chest package has functions for linear regression, logistic regression, negative binomial regression, Cox proportional hazards model and conditional logistic regression.

An alternative to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for metrical data in R. Drawing on characteristics of classical test theory, Exploratory Likert Scaling (ELiS) supports the user exploring multiple one-dimensional data structures. In common research practice, however, EFA remains the go-to method to uncover the (underlying) structure of a data set. Orthogonal dimensions and the potential of overextraction are often accepted as side effects. As described in Müller-Schneider (2001) <doi:10.1515/zfsoz-2001-0404>), ELiS confronts these problems. As a result, elisr provides the platform to fully exploit the exploratory potential of the multiple scaling approach itself.

Package computes and displays tables with support for SPSS'-style labels, multiple and nested banners, weights, multiple-response variables and significance testing. There are facilities for nice output of tables in knitr', Shiny', *.xlsx files, R and Jupyter notebooks. Methods for labelled variables add value labels support to base R functions and to some functions from other packages. Additionally, the package brings popular data transformation functions from SPSS Statistics and Excel': RECODE', COUNT', COUNTIF', VLOOKUP and etc. These functions are very useful for data processing in marketing research surveys. Package intended to help people to move data processing from Excel and SPSS to R.

Useful functions to translate text for multiple languages using online translators. For example, by translating error messages and descriptive analysis results into a language familiar to the user, it enables a better understanding of the information, thereby reducing the barriers caused by language. It offers several helper functions to query gene information to help interpretation of interested genes (e.g., marker genes, differential expression genes), and provides utilities to translate ggplot graphics. This package is not affiliated with any of the online translators. The developers do not take responsibility for the invoice it incurs when using this package, especially for exceeding the free quota.

This package provides a wrapper built around the libLBFGS optimization library by Naoaki Okazaki. The lbfgs package implements both the Limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (L-BFGS) and the Orthant-Wise Quasi-Newton Limited-Memory (OWL-QN) optimization algorithms. The L-BFGS algorithm solves the problem of minimizing an objective, given its gradient, by iteratively computing approximations of the inverse Hessian matrix. The OWL-QN algorithm finds the optimum of an objective plus the L1-norm of the problem's parameters. The package offers a fast and memory-efficient implementation of these optimization routines, which is particularly suited for high-dimensional problems.

Build a constrained high quality Delaunay triangulation from simple features objects, applying constraints based on input line segments, and triangle properties including maximum area, minimum internal angle. The triangulation code in RTriangle uses the method of Cheng, Dey and Shewchuk (2012, ISBN:9781584887300). For a low-dependency alternative with low-quality path-based constrained triangulation see <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=decido> and for high-quality configurable triangulation see <https://github.com/hypertidy/anglr>. Also consider comparison with the GEOS lib which since version 3.10.0 includes a low quality polygon triangulation method that starts with ear clipping and refines to Delaunay.
