Application of the Partitioning-Around-Medoids (PAM) clustering algorithm described in Schubert, E. and Rousseeuw, P.J.: "Fast and eager k-medoids clustering: O(k) runtime improvement of the PAM, CLARA, and CLARANS algorithms." Information Systems, vol. 101, p. 101804, (2021). <doi:10.1016/j.is.2021.101804>. It uses a binary format for storing and retrieval of matrices developed for the jmatrix package but the functionality of jmatrix is included here, so you do not need to install it. Also, it is used by package scellpam', so if you have installed it, you do not need to install this package. PAM can be applied to sets of data whose dissimilarity matrix can be very big. It has been tested with up to 100.000 points. It does this with the help of the code developed for other package, jmatrix', which allows the matrix not to be loaded in R memory (which would force it to be of double type) but it gets from disk, which allows using float (or even smaller data types). Moreover, the dissimilarity matrix is calculated in parallel if the computer has several cores so it can open many threads. The initial part of the PAM algorithm can be done with the BUILD or LAB algorithms; the BUILD algorithm has been implemented in parallel. The optimization phase implements the FastPAM1 algorithm, also in parallel. Finally, calculation of silhouette is available and also implemented in parallel.

This package provides functions for solving systems of delay differential equations by interfacing with numerical routines written by Simon N. Wood, including contributions from Benjamin J. Cairns. These numerical routines first appeared in Simon Wood's solv95 program. This package includes a vignette and a complete user's guide. PBSddesolve originally appeared on CRAN under the name ddesolve'. That version is no longer supported. The current name emphasizes a close association with other PBS packages, particularly PBSmodelling'.

This package provides functions for creating color palettes, visualizing palettes, modifying colors, and assigning colors for plotting.

This package provides functions for easily reading and processing binary data files created by Pamguard (<https://www.pamguard.org/>). All functions for directly reading the binary data files are based on MATLAB code written by Michael Oswald.

An implementation of Horn's technique for numerically and graphically evaluating the components or factors retained in a principle components analysis (PCA) or common factor analysis (FA). Horn's method contrasts eigenvalues produced through a PCA or FA on a number of random data sets of uncorrelated variables with the same number of variables and observations as the experimental or observational data set to produce eigenvalues for components or factors that are adjusted for the sample error-induced inflation. Components with adjusted eigenvalues greater than one are retained. paran may also be used to conduct parallel analysis following Glorfeld's (1995) suggestions to reduce the likelihood of over-retention.

Bundles a number of established statistical methods to facilitate the visual interpretation of large datasets in sedimentary geology. Includes functionality for adaptive kernel density estimation, principal component analysis, correspondence analysis, multidimensional scaling, generalised procrustes analysis and individual differences scaling using a variety of dissimilarity measures. Univariate provenance proxies, such as single-grain ages or (isotopic) compositions are compared with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kuiper, Wasserstein-2 or Sircombe-Hazelton L2 distances. Categorical provenance proxies such as chemical compositions are compared with the Aitchison and Bray-Curtis distances,and count data with the chi-square distance. Varietal data can either be converted to one or more distributional datasets, or directly compared using the multivariate Wasserstein distance. Also included are tools to plot compositional and count data on ternary diagrams and point-counting data on radial plots, to calculate the sample size required for specified levels of statistical precision, and to assess the effects of hydraulic sorting on detrital compositions. Includes an intuitive query-based user interface for users who are not proficient in R.

This package provides data set and function for exploration of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2014 Household Listing questionnaire data for Punjab, Pakistan.

Applying the global sensitivity analysis workflow to investigate the parameter uncertainty and sensitivity in physiologically based kinetic (PK) models, especially the physiologically based pharmacokinetic/toxicokinetic model with multivariate outputs. The package also provides some functions to check the convergence and sensitivity of model parameters. The workflow was first mentioned in Hsieh et al., (2018) <doi:10.3389/fphar.2018.00588>, then further refined (Hsieh et al., 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2020.100609>).

This R package allows the determination of some distributions of the voters power when passing laws in weighted voting situations.

Bayesian estimation and analysis methods for Probit Unfolding Models (PUMs), a novel class of scaling models designed for binary preference data. These models allow for both monotonic and non-monotonic response functions. The package supports Bayesian inference for both static and dynamic PUMs using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms with minimal or no tuning. Key functionalities include posterior sampling, hyperparameter selection, data preprocessing, model fit evaluation, and visualization. The methods are particularly suited to analyzing voting data, such as from the U.S. Congress or Supreme Court, but can also be applied in other contexts where non-monotonic responses are expected. For methodological details, see Shi et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2504.00423>.

This package contains the functions for construction and visualization of various families of the proximity catch digraphs (PCDs), see (Ceyhan (2005) ISBN:978-3-639-19063-2), for computing the graph invariants for testing the patterns of segregation and association against complete spatial randomness (CSR) or uniformity in one, two and three dimensional cases. The package also has tools for generating points from these spatial patterns. The graph invariants used in testing spatial point data are the domination number (Ceyhan (2011) <doi:10.1080/03610921003597211>) and arc density (Ceyhan et al. (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2005.03.002>; Ceyhan et al. (2007) <doi:10.1002/cjs.5550350106>). The PCD families considered are Arc-Slice PCDs, Proportional-Edge PCDs, and Central Similarity PCDs.

This package provides a novel tool for generating a piecewise constant estimation list of increasingly complex predictors based on an intensive and comprehensive search over the entire covariate space.

This package provides methods to calculate and present PHENTHAUproc', an early warning and decision support system for hazard assessment and control of oak processionary moth (OPM) using local and spatial temperature data. It was created by Halbig et al. 2024 (<doi:10.1016/j.foreco.2023.121525>) at FVA (<https://www.fva-bw.de/en/homepage/>) Forest Research Institute Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany and at BOKU - University of Natural Ressources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria.

Includes a collection of functions presented in "Measuring stability in ecological systems without static equilibria" by Clark et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/ecs2.4328> in Ecosphere. These can be used to estimate the parameters of a stochastic state space model (i.e. a model where a time series is observed with error). The goal of this package is to estimate the variability around a deterministic process, both in terms of observation error - i.e. variability due to imperfect observations that does not influence system state - and in terms of process noise - i.e. stochastic variation in the actual state of the process. Unlike classical methods for estimating variability, this package does not necessarily assume that the deterministic state is fixed (i.e. a fixed-point equilibrium), meaning that variability around a dynamic trajectory can be estimated (e.g. stochastic fluctuations during predator-prey dynamics).

Functional claims reserving methods based on aggregated chain-ladder data, also known as a run-off triangle, implemented in three nonparametric algorithms (PARALLAX, REACT, and MACRAME) proposed in Maciak, Mizera, and Pešta (2022) <doi:10.1017/asb.2022.4>. Additional methods including permutation bootstrap for completed run-off triangles are also provided.

Precision agriculture spatial data depuration and homogeneous zones (management zone) delineation. The package includes functions that performs protocols for data cleaning management zone delineation and zone comparison; protocols are described in Paccioretti et al., (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.compag.2020.105556>.

An implementation of the one-step privacy-protecting method for estimating the overall and site-specific hazard ratios using inverse probability weighted Cox models in distributed data network studies, as proposed by Shu, Yoshida, Fireman, and Toh (2019) <doi: 10.1177/0962280219869742>. This method only requires sharing of summary-level riskset tables instead of individual-level data. Both the conventional inverse probability weights and the stabilized weights are implemented.

Use probability theory under the Bayesian framework for calculating the risk of selecting candidates in a multi-environment context. Contained are functions used to fit a Bayesian multi-environment model (based on the available presets), extract posterior values and maximum posterior values, compute the variance components, check the modelâ s convergence, and calculate the probabilities. For both across and within-environments scopes, the package computes the probability of superior performance and the pairwise probability of superior performance. Furthermore, the probability of superior stability and the pairwise probability of superior stability across environments is estimated. A joint probability of superior performance and stability is also provided.
