In social and educational settings, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a challenging task. Relevant data is often only available in handwritten forms, or the use of data is restricted by privacy policies. This often leads to small data sets. Furthermore, in the educational and social sciences, data is often unbalanced in terms of frequencies. To support educators as well as educational and social researchers in using the potentials of AI for their work, this package provides a unified interface for neural nets in PyTorch to deal with natural language problems. In addition, the package ships with a shiny app, providing a graphical user interface. This allows the usage of AI for people without skills in writing python/R scripts. The tools integrate existing mathematical and statistical methods for dealing with small data sets via pseudo-labeling (e.g. Cascante-Bonilla et al. (2020) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2001.06001>) and imbalanced data via the creation of synthetic cases (e.g. Islam et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.asoc.2021.108288>). Performance evaluation of AI is connected to measures from content analysis which educational and social researchers are generally more familiar with (e.g. Berding & Pargmann (2022) <doi:10.30819/5581>, Gwet (2014) <ISBN:978-0-9708062-8-4>, Krippendorff (2019) <doi:10.4135/9781071878781>). Estimation of energy consumption and CO2 emissions during model training is done with the python library codecarbon'. Finally, all objects created with this package allow to share trained AI models with other people.

This package contains functions carrying out adaptive procedures using mixed scaling approach to establish bioequivalence for in-vitro permeation test (IVPT) data. Currently, the package provides procedures based on parallel replicate design and balanced data, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "Draft Guidance on Acyclovir" <https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/psg/Acyclovir_topical%20cream_RLD%2021478_RV12-16.pdf>. Potvin et al. (2008) <doi:10.1002/pst.294> provides the basis for our adaptive design (see Method B). For a comprehensive overview of the method, refer to Lim et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/pst.2333>.

Understanding morphological variation is an important task in many applications. Recent studies in computational biology have focused on developing computational tools for the task of sub-image selection which aims at identifying structural features that best describe the variation between classes of shapes. A major part in assessing the utility of these approaches is to demonstrate their performance on both simulated and real datasets. However, when creating a model for shape statistics, real data can be difficult to access and the sample sizes for these data are often small due to them being expensive to collect. Meanwhile, the landscape of current shape simulation methods has been mostly limited to approaches that use black-box inference---making it difficult to systematically assess the power and calibration of sub-image models. In this R package, we introduce the alpha-shape sampler: a probabilistic framework for simulating realistic 2D and 3D shapes based on probability distributions which can be learned from real data or explicitly stated by the user. The ashapesampler package supports two mechanisms for sampling shapes in two and three dimensions. The first, empirically sampling based on an existing data set, was highlighted in the original main text of the paper. The second, probabilistic sampling from a known distribution, is the computational implementation of the theory derived in that paper. Work based on Winn-Nunez et al. (2024) <doi:10.1101/2024.01.09.574919>.

Example software for the analysis of data from designed experiments, especially agricultural crop experiments. The basics of the analysis of designed experiments are discussed using real examples from agricultural field trials. A range of statistical methods using a range of R statistical packages are exemplified . The experimental data is made available as separate data sets for each example and the R analysis code is made available as example code. The example code can be readily extended, as required.

This package provides functions to process minute level actigraphy-measured activity counts data and extract commonly used physical activity volume and fragmentation metrics.

The centralized empirical cumulative average deviation function is utilized to develop both Ada-plot and Uda-plot as alternatives to Ad-plot and Ud-plot introduced by the author. Analogous to Ad-plot, Ada-plot can identify symmetry, skewness, and outliers of the data distribution. The Uda-plot is as exceptional as Ud-plot in assessing normality. The d-value that quantifies the degree of proximity between the Uda-plot and the graph of the estimated normal density function helps guide to make decisions on confirmation of normality. Extreme values in the data can be eliminated using the 1.5IQR rule to create its robust version if user demands. Full description of the methodology can be found in the article by Wijesuriya (2025a) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2025.2558108>. Further, the development of Ad-plot and Ud-plot is contained in both article and the adplots R package by Wijesuriya (2025b & 2025c) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2024.2440583> and <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.adplots>.

Fits tractable fully parametric odds-based regression models for survival data, including proportional odds (PO), accelerated failure time (AFT), accelerated odds (AO), and General Odds (GO) models in overall survival frameworks. Given at least an R function specifying the survivor, hazard rate and cumulative distribution functions, any user-defined parametric distribution can be fitted. We applied and evaluated a minimum of seventeen (17) various baseline distributions that can handle different failure rate shapes for each of the four different proposed odds-based regression models. For more information see Bennet et al., (1983) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780020223>, and Muse et al., (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.aej.2022.01.033>.

This package provides a function to calculate multiple performance metrics for actual and predicted values. In total eight metrics will be calculated for particular actual and predicted series. Helps to describe a Statistical model's performance in predicting a data. Also helps to compare various models performance. The metrics are Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Relative Root Mean Squared Error (RRMSE), Mean absolute Error (MAE), Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), Willmottâ s Index (WI), and Legates and McCabe Index (LME). Among them, first five are expected to be lesser whereas, the last three are greater the better. More details can be found from Garai and Paul (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.iswa.2023.200202> and Garai et al.

This package provides a pipeable, transparent implementation of areal weighted interpolation with support for interpolating multiple variables in a single function call. These tools provide a full-featured workflow for validation and estimation that fits into both modern data management (e.g. tidyverse) and spatial data (e.g. sf) frameworks.

Accumulated Local Effects (ALE) were initially developed as a model-agnostic approach for global explanations of the results of black-box machine learning algorithms. ALE has a key advantage over other approaches like partial dependency plots (PDP) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP): its values represent a clean functional decomposition of the model. As such, ALE values are not affected by the presence or absence of interactions among variables in a mode. Moreover, its computation is relatively rapid. This package reimplements the algorithms for calculating ALE data and develops highly interpretable visualizations for plotting these ALE values. It also extends the original ALE concept to add bootstrap-based confidence intervals and ALE-based statistics that can be used for statistical inference. For more details, see Okoli, Chitu. 2023. â Statistical Inference Using Machine Learning and Classical Techniques Based on Accumulated Local Effects (ALE).â arXiv. <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2310.09877>.

This package provides a collection of functions for computing centrographic statistics (e.g., standard distance, standard deviation ellipse, standard deviation box) for observations taken at point locations. Separate plotting functions have been developed for each measure. Users interested in writing results to ESRI shapefiles can do so by using results from aspace functions as inputs to the convert.to.shapefile() and write.shapefile() functions in the shapefiles library. We intend to provide terra integration for geographic data in a future release. The aspace package was originally conceived to aid in the analysis of spatial patterns of travel behaviour (see Buliung and Remmel 2008 <doi:10.1007/s10109-008-0063-7>).
