This is the central location for data and tools for the development, maintenance, analysis, and deployment of the International Soil Radiocarbon Database (ISRaD). ISRaD was developed as a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey Powell Center and the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry. This R package provides tools for accessing and manipulating ISRaD data, compiling local data using the ISRaD data structure, and simple query and reporting functions for ISRaD. For more detailed information visit the ISRaD website at: <https://soilradiocarbon.org/>.

Reproduces the harmonized DB of the ESTAT survey of the same name. The survey data is served as separate spreadsheets with noticeable differences in the collected attributes. The tool here presented carries out a series of instructions that harmonize the attributes in terms of name, meaning, and occurrence, while also introducing a series of new variables, instrumental to adding value to the product. Outputs include one harmonized table with all the years, and three separate geometries, corresponding to the theoretical point, the gps location where the measurement was made and the 250m east-facing transect.

This package implements the Multi-view Aggregated Two-Sample (MATES) test, a powerful nonparametric method for testing equality of two multivariate distributions. The method constructs multiple graph-based statistics from various perspectives (views) including different distance metrics, graph types (nearest neighbor graphs, minimum spanning trees, and robust nearest neighbor graphs), and weighting schemes. These statistics are then aggregated through a quadratic form to achieve improved statistical power. The package provides both asymptotic closed-form inference and permutation-based testing procedures. For methodological details, see Cai and others (2026+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2412.16684>.

Implementation of custom tidymodels metrics for multi-class prediction models with a single negative class. Currently are implemented macro-average sensitivity and specificity as in Mortaz, Ebrahim (2020) "Imbalance accuracy metric for model selection in multi-class imbalance classification problemsâ <doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2020.106490> and a generalized weighted Youden index as in Li, D.L., Shen F., Yin Y., Peng J.X and Chen P.Y. (2013) â Weighted Youden index and its two-independent-sample comparison based on weighted sensitivity and specificityâ <doi:10.3760/cma.j.issn.0366-6999.20123102>.

To assist biological researchers in assembling taxonomically and marker focused molecular sequence data sets. MACER accepts a list of genera as a user input and uses NCBI-GenBank and BOLD as resources to download and assemble molecular sequence datasets. These datasets are then assembled by marker, aligned, trimmed, and cleaned. The use of this package allows the publication of specific parameters to ensure reproducibility. The MACER package has four core functions and an example run through using all of these functions can be found in the associated repository <https://github.com/rgyoung6/MACER_example>.

This package provides an implementation of a rare variant association test that utilizes protein tertiary structure to increase signal and to identify likely causal variants. Performs structure-guided collapsing, which leads to local tests that borrow information from neighboring variants on a protein and that provide association information on a variant-specific level. For details of the implemented method see West, R. M., Lu, W., Rotroff, D. M., Kuenemann, M., Chang, S-M., Wagner M. J., Buse, J. B., Motsinger-Reif, A., Fourches, D., and Tzeng, J-Y. (2019) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006722>.

This package implements the Changes-in-Changes (CIC) estimator of Athey and Imbens (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2006.00668.x> combined with synthetic control methods. Provides both the continuous CIC estimator (Theorem 3.1) and the discrete CIC estimator (Theorem 4.1) for integer-valued outcomes, with analytic and bootstrap inference. Also provides nonparametric estimation of the entire counterfactual distribution of outcomes for a treated group, allowing evaluation of average, quantile, and distributional treatment effects. Synthetic control weights are constructed via elastic net regularization to handle settings with many potential control units.

An algorithm for nonlinear global optimization based on the variable neighbourhood trust region search (VNTRS) algorithm proposed by Bierlaire et al. (2009) "A Heuristic for Nonlinear Global Optimization" <doi:10.1287/ijoc.1090.0343>. The algorithm combines variable neighbourhood exploration with a trust-region framework to efficiently search the solution space. It can terminate a local search early if the iterates are converging toward a previously visited local optimum or if further improvement within the current region is unlikely. In addition to global optimization, the algorithm can also be applied to identify multiple local optima.

Radare2 is a complete framework for reverse-engineering, debugging, and analyzing binaries. It is composed of a set of small utilities that can be used together or independently from the command line.

Radare2 is built around a scriptable disassembler and hexadecimal editor that support a variety of executable formats for different processors and operating systems, through multiple back ends for local and remote files and disk images.

It can also compare (diff) binaries with graphs and extract information like relocation symbols. It is able to deal with malformed binaries, making it suitable for security research and analysis.

DMCFB is a pipeline for identifying differentially methylated cytosines using a Bayesian functional regression model in bisulfite sequencing data. By using a functional regression data model, it tries to capture position-specific, group-specific and other covariates-specific methylation patterns as well as spatial correlation patterns and unknown underlying models of methylation data. It is robust and flexible with respect to the true underlying models and inclusion of any covariates, and the missing values are imputed using spatial correlation between positions and samples. A Bayesian approach is adopted for estimation and inference in the proposed method.

Single-cell RNA-seq technologies enable high throughput gene expression measurement of individual cells, and allow the discovery of heterogeneity within cell populations. Measurement of cell-to-cell gene expression similarity is critical for the identification, visualization and analysis of cell populations. However, single-cell data introduce challenges to conventional measures of gene expression similarity because of the high level of noise, outliers and dropouts. We develop a novel similarity-learning framework, SIMLR (Single-cell Interpretation via Multi-kernel LeaRning), which learns an appropriate distance metric from the data for dimension reduction, clustering and visualization.

Combining a generalized linear model with an additional tree part on the same scale. A four-step procedure is proposed to fit the model and test the joint effect of the selected tree part while adjusting on confounding factors. We also proposed an ensemble procedure based on the bagging to improve prediction accuracy and computed several scores of importance for variable selection. See Cyprien Mbogning et al.'(2014)<doi:10.1186/2043-9113-4-6> and Cyprien Mbogning et al.'(2015)<doi:10.1159/000380850> for an overview of all the methods implemented in this package.

This package provides a utility to quickly obtain clean and tidy men's basketball play by play data. Provides functions to access live play by play and box score data from ESPN<https://www.espn.com> with shot locations when available. It is also a full NBA Stats API<https://www.nba.com/stats/> wrapper. It is also a scraping and aggregating interface for Ken Pomeroy's men's college basketball statistics website<https://kenpom.com>. It provides users with an active subscription the capability to scrape the website tables and analyze the data for themselves.

Combines Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Bayesian multinomial time series methods in a two-stage analysis to quantify dynamics in high-dimensional temporal data. LDA decomposes multivariate data into lower-dimension latent groupings, whose relative proportions are modeled using generalized Bayesian time series models that include abrupt changepoints and smooth dynamics. The methods are described in Blei et al. (2003) <doi:10.1162/jmlr.2003.3.4-5.993>, Western and Kleykamp (2004) <doi:10.1093/pan/mph023>, Venables and Ripley (2002, ISBN-13:978-0387954578), and Christensen et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/ecy.2373>.

Create and manipulate numeric list ('nlist') objects. An nlist is an S3 list of uniquely named numeric objects. An numeric object is an integer or double vector, matrix or array. An nlists object is a S3 class list of nlist objects with the same names, dimensionalities and typeofs. Numeric list objects are of interest because they are the raw data inputs for analytic engines such as JAGS', STAN and TMB'. Numeric lists objects, which are useful for storing multiple realizations of of simulated data sets, can be converted to coda::mcmc and coda::mcmc.list objects.

Single cell Higher Order Testing (scHOT) is an R package that facilitates testing changes in higher order structure of gene expression along either a developmental trajectory or across space. scHOT is general and modular in nature, can be run in multiple data contexts such as along a continuous trajectory, between discrete groups, and over spatial orientations; as well as accommodate any higher order measurement such as variability or correlation. scHOT meaningfully adds to first order effect testing, such as differential expression, and provides a framework for interrogating higher order interactions from single cell data.

This package provides functions to specify, fit and visualize nested partially-latent class models ( Wu, Deloria-Knoll, Hammitt, and Zeger (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12101>; Wu, Deloria-Knoll, and Zeger (2017) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxw037>; Wu and Chen (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.8804>) for inference of population disease etiology and individual diagnosis. In the motivating Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) study, because both quantities of interest sum to one hundred percent, the PERCH scientists frequently refer to them as population etiology pie and individual etiology pie, hence the name of the package.

The multiple contrast tests for univariate were proposed by Munko, Ditzhaus, Pauly, Smaga, and Zhang (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.15259>. Recently, they were extended to the multivariate functional data in Munko, Ditzhaus, Pauly, and Smaga (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.01242>. These procedures enable us to evaluate the overall hypothesis regarding equality, as well as specific hypotheses defined by contrasts. In particular, we can perform post hoc tests to examine particular comparisons of interest. Different experimental designs are supported, e.g., one-way and multi-way analysis of variance for functional data.

Power logit regression models for bounded continuous data, in which the density generator may be normal, Student-t, power exponential, slash, hyperbolic, sinh-normal, or type II logistic. Diagnostic tools associated with the fitted model, such as the residuals, local influence measures, leverage measures, and goodness-of-fit statistics, are implemented. The estimation process follows the maximum likelihood approach and, currently, the package supports two types of estimators: the usual maximum likelihood estimator and the penalized maximum likelihood estimator. More details about power logit regression models are described in Queiroz and Ferrari (2022) <arXiv:2202.01697>.

In the situation when multiple alternative treatments or interventions available, different population groups may respond differently to different treatments. This package implements a method that discovers the population subgroups in which a certain treatment has a better effect than the other alternative treatments. This is done by first estimating the treatment effect for a given treatment and its uncertainty by computing random forests, and the resulting model is summarized by a decision tree in which the probabilities that the given treatment is best for a given subgroup is shown in the corresponding terminal node of the tree.

An efficient tool for fitting the nested common and shared atoms models using variational Bayes approximate inference for fast computation. Specifically, the package implements the common atoms model (Denti et al., 2023), its finite version (D'Angelo et al., 2023), and a hybrid finite-infinite model. All models use Gaussian mixtures with a normal-inverse-gamma prior distribution on the parameters. Additional functions are provided to help analyze the results of the fitting procedure.

This package provides functions for Bayesian Predictive Stacking within the Bayesian transfer learning framework for geospatial artificial systems, as introduced in "Bayesian Transfer Learning for Artificially Intelligent Geospatial Systems: A Predictive Stacking Approach" (Presicce and Banerjee, 2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.09504>. This methodology enables efficient Bayesian geostatistical modeling, utilizing predictive stacking to improve inference across spatial datasets. The core functions leverage C++ for high-performance computation, making the framework well-suited for large-scale spatial data analysis in parallel and distributed computing environments. Designed for scalability, it allows seamless application in computationally demanding scenarios.

Fits generalized additive models (GAMs) using a variational approximations (VA) framework. In brief, the VA framework provides a fully or at least closed to fully tractable lower bound approximation to the marginal likelihood of a GAM when it is parameterized as a mixed model (using penalized splines, say). In doing so, the VA framework aims offers both the stability and natural inference tools available in the mixed model approach to GAMs, while achieving computation times comparable to that of using the penalized likelihood approach to GAMs. See Hui et al. (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1518235>.

Analyzes and models data subject to sampling biases. Provides functions to estimate the density and cumulative distribution functions from biased samples of continuous distributions.
