Applies sequential clustering algorithm to animal location data based on user-defined parameters. Plots interactive cluster maps and provides a summary dataframe with attributes for each cluster commonly used as covariates in subsequent modeling efforts. Additional functions provide individual keyhole markup language plots for quick assessment, and export of global positioning system exchange format files for navigation purposes.

This package provides a framework to detect Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in Generalized Partial Credit Models (GPCM) and special cases of the GPCM as proposed by Schauberger and Mair (2019) <doi:10.3758/s13428-019-01224-2>. A joint model is set up where DIF is explicitly parametrized and penalized likelihood estimation is used for parameter selection. The big advantage of the method called GPCMlasso is that several variables can be treated simultaneously and that both continuous and categorical variables can be used to detect DIF.

GPUs are great resources for data analysis, especially in statistics and linear algebra. Unfortunately, very few packages connect R to the GPU, and none of them are transparent enough to run the computations on the GPU without substantial changes to the code. The maintenance of these packages is cumbersome: several of the earlier attempts have been removed from their respective repositories. It would be desirable to have a properly maintained R package that takes advantage of the GPU with minimal changes to the existing code. We have developed the GPUmatrix package (available on CRAN). GPUmatrix mimics the behavior of the Matrix package and extends R to use the GPU for computations. It includes single(FP32) and double(FP64) precision data types, and provides support for sparse matrices. It is easy to learn, and requires very few code changes to perform the operations on the GPU. GPUmatrix relies on either the Torch or Tensorflow R packages to perform the GPU operations. We have demonstrated its usefulness for several statistical applications and machine learning applications: non-negative matrix factorization, logistic regression and general linear models. We have also included a comparison of GPU and CPU performance on different matrix operations.

Example data for the GPA package, consisting of the p-values of 1,219,805 SNPs for five psychiatric disorder GWAS from the psychiatric GWAS consortium (PGC), with the annotation data using genes preferentially expressed in the central nervous system (CNS).

This package provides a toolset for functional enrichment analysis and visualization, gene/protein/SNP identifier conversion and mapping orthologous genes across species via g:Profiler. The main tools are:

1. g:GOSt, functional enrichment analysis and visualization of gene lists;

2. g:Convert, gene/protein/transcript identifier conversion across various namespaces;

3. g:Orth, orthology search across species;

4. g:SNPense, mapping SNP rs identifiers to chromosome positions, genes and variant effects.

This package is an R interface corresponding to the 2019 update of g:Profiler and provides access to versions e94_eg41_p11 and higher.

Gaussian processes are flexible distributions to model functional data. Whilst theoretically appealing, they are computationally cumbersome except for small datasets. This package implements two methods for scaling Gaussian process inference in Stan'. First, a sparse approximation of the likelihood that is generally applicable and, second, an exact method for regularly spaced data modeled by stationary kernels using fast Fourier methods. Utility functions are provided to compile and fit Stan models using the cmdstanr interface. References: Hoffmann and Onnela (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v112.i02>.

This package provides a Bayesian statistical model for estimating child (under-five age group) and adult (15-60 age group) mortality. The main challenge is how to combine and integrate these different time series and how to produce unified estimates of mortality rates during a specified time span. GPR is a Bayesian statistical model for estimating child and adult mortality rates which its data likelihood is mortality rates from different data sources such as: Death Registration System, Censuses or surveys. There are also various hyper-parameters for completeness of DRS, mean, covariance functions and variances as priors. This function produces estimations and uncertainty (95% or any desirable percentiles) based on sampling and non-sampling errors due to variation in data sources. The GP model utilizes Bayesian inference to update predicted mortality rates as a posterior in Bayes rule by combining data and a prior probability distribution over parameters in mean, covariance function, and the regression model. This package uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to sample from posterior probability distribution by rstan package in R. Details are given in Wang H, Dwyer-Lindgren L, Lofgren KT, et al.
