The binomialRF is a new feature selection technique for decision trees that aims at providing an alternative approach to identify significant feature subsets using binomial distributional assumptions (Rachid Zaim, S., et al. (2019)) <doi:10.1101/681973>. Treating each splitting variable selection as a set of exchangeable correlated Bernoulli trials, binomialRF then tests whether a feature is selected more often than by random chance.

The main purpose of this package is to propose a transparent methodological framework to compare bioregionalization methods based on hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering algorithms (Kreft & Jetz (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02375.x>) and network algorithms (Lenormand et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/ece3.4718> and Leroy et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/jbi.13674>).

This package contains all the necessary tools to process audio recordings of various formats (e.g., WAV, WAC, MP3, ZC), filter noisy files, display audio signals, detect and extract automatically acoustic features for further analysis such as classification.

This package contains a variety of methods to generate typical causal inference estimates using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) as the underlying regression model (Hill (2012) <doi:10.1198/jcgs.2010.08162>).

This package provides a Bayesian regression model for discrete response, where the conditional distribution is modelled via a discrete Weibull distribution. This package provides an implementation of Metropolis-Hastings and Reversible-Jumps algorithms to draw samples from the posterior. It covers a wide range of regularizations through any two parameter prior. Examples are Laplace (Lasso), Gaussian (ridge), Uniform, Cauchy and customized priors like a mixture of priors. An extensive visual toolbox is included to check the validity of the results as well as several measures of goodness-of-fit.

Subgroup analyses are routinely performed in clinical trial analyses. From a methodological perspective, two key issues of subgroup analyses are multiplicity (even if only predefined subgroups are investigated) and the low sample sizes of subgroups which lead to highly variable estimates, see e.g. Yusuf et al (1991) <doi:10.1001/jama.1991.03470010097038>. This package implements subgroup estimates based on Bayesian shrinkage priors, see Carvalho et al (2019) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v5/carvalho09a.html>. In addition, estimates based on penalized likelihood inference are available, based on Simon et al (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v039.i05>. The corresponding shrinkage based forest plots address the aforementioned issues and can complement standard forest plots in practical clinical trial analyses.

Compute bounds for the treatment effect after adjusting for the presence of omitted variables in linear econometric models, according to the method of Basu (2022) <arXiv:2203.12431>. You supply the data, identify the outcome and treatment variables and additional regressors. The main functions will compute bounds for the bias-adjusted treatment effect. Many plot functions allow easy visualization of results.

This package provides a collection of functions for downloading and processing automatic weather station (AWS) data from INMET (Brazilâ s National Institute of Meteorology), designed to support the estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo).

Adjust the Gamma regression models from a Bayesian perspective described by Cepeda and Urdinola (2012) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.600500>, modeling the parameters of mean and shape and using different link functions for the parameter associated to the mean. And calculates different adjustment statistics such as the Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion.

This R package offers block Gibbs samplers for the Bayesian (adaptive) graphical lasso, ridge, and naive elastic net priors. These samplers facilitate the simulation of the posterior distribution of precision matrices for Gaussian distributed data and were originally proposed by: Wang (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-BA729>; Smith et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2210.16290> and Smith et al. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.14199>, respectively.

This package provides tools for fitting Bayesian single index models with flexible choices of priors for both the index and the link function. The package implements model estimation and posterior inference using efficient MCMC algorithms built on the nimble framework, allowing users to specify, extend, and simulate models in a unified and reproducible manner.

Functional differences between the cerebral hemispheres are a fundamental characteristic of the human brain. Researchers interested in studying these differences often infer underlying hemispheric dominance for a certain function (e.g., language) from laterality indices calculated from observed performance or brain activation measures . However, any inference from observed measures to latent (unobserved) classes has to consider the prior probability of class membership in the population. The provided functions implement a Bayesian model for predicting hemispheric dominance from observed laterality indices (Sorensen and Westerhausen, Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 2020, <doi:10.1080/1357650X.2020.1769124>).

Estimate population average treatment effects from a primary data source with borrowing from supplemental sources. Causal estimation is done with either a Bayesian linear model or with Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) to adjust for confounding. Borrowing is done with multisource exchangeability models (MEMs). For information on BART, see Chipman, George, & McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>. For information on MEMs, see Kaizer, Koopmeiners, & Hobbs (2018) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxx031>.
