This package addresses the mean-variance relationship in spatially resolved transcriptomics data. Precision weights are generated for individual observations using Empirical Bayes techniques. These weights are used to rescale the data and covariates, which are then used as input in spatially variable gene detection tools.

Compute relative or absolute population trends across space and time using predictions from models fitted to ecological population abundance data, as described in Knape (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2025.113435>.

For each type, y, or x and y variables can be plotted at levels of other variables, all with minimal specification.

An implementation of feature selection, weighting and ranking via simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA). The SPSA-FSR algorithm searches for a locally optimal set of features that yield the best predictive performance using some error measures such as mean squared error (for regression problems) and accuracy rate (for classification problems).

Facilitates the identification of missing data patterns and structural issues in datasets. Designed to streamline initial data management and exploratory analysis workflows within R'.

The spork syntax describes label formatting concisely, supporting mixed nesting of subscripts and superscripts to arbitrary depth. It intends to be easy to read and write in plain text, and easy to convert to equivalent presentations in plotmath', latex', and html'. Greek symbols and a multiplication symbol are explicitly supported. See ?as_spork and ?as_previews.

The package provides a BiblioSpec reader, a function which can add the protein information using a FASTA formatted amino acid file, and an export method for using the created library in the Spectronaut software. The package is developed, tested and used at the Functional Genomics Center Zurich <https://fgcz.ch>.

SPAMS (SPArse Modeling Software) is an optimization toolbox for solving various sparse estimation problems. It includes tools for the following problems:

1. Dictionary learning and matrix factorization (NMF, sparse principle component analysis (PCA), ...)

2. Solving sparse decomposition problems with LARS, coordinate descent, OMP, SOMP, proximal methods

3. Solving structured sparse decomposition problems (l1/l2, l1/linf, sparse group lasso, tree-structured regularization, structured sparsity with overlapping groups,...).

This package contains functions that fit linear mixed-effects models for high-dimensional data (p>>n) with penalty for both the fixed effects and random effects for variable selection. The details of the algorithm can be found in Luoying Yang PhD thesis (Yang and Wu 2020). The algorithm implementation is based on the R package lmmlasso'. Reference: Yang L, Wu TT (2020).

Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF) is a powerful tool for identifying the key features of microbial communities and a dimension-reduction method. When we are interested in the differences between the structures of two groups of communities, supervised NMF(Yun Cai, Hong Gu and Tobby Kenney (2017),<doi:10.1186/s40168-017-0323-1>) provides a better way to do this, while retaining all the advantages of NMF -- such as interpretability, and being based on a simple biological intuition.

spiky implements methods and model generation for cfMeDIP (cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation) with spike-in controls. CfMeDIP is an enrichment protocol which avoids destructive conversion of scarce template, making it ideal as a "liquid biopsy," but creating certain challenges in comparing results across specimens, subjects, and experiments. The use of synthetic spike-in standard oligos allows diagnostics performed with cfMeDIP to quantitatively compare samples across subjects, experiments, and time points in both relative and absolute terms.

Identify statistically significant flow clusters using the local spatial network autocorrelation statistic G_ij* proposed by Berglund and Karlström (1999) <doi:10.1007/s101090050013>. The metric, an extended statistic of Getis/Ord G ('Getis and Ord 1992) <doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1992.tb00261.x>, detects a group of flows having similar traits in terms of directionality. You provide OD data and the associated polygon to get results with several parameters, some of which are defined by spdep package.

This package aims to make NMR spectroscopy data analysis as easy as possible. It only requires a small set of functions to perform an entire analysis. Speaq offers the possibility of raw spectra alignment and quantitation but also an analysis based on features whereby the spectra are converted to peaks which are then grouped and turned into features. These features can be processed with any number of statistical tools either included in speaq or available elsewhere on CRAN.

The current version of this package estimates spatial autoregressive models for binary dependent variables using GMM estimators <doi:10.18637/jss.v107.i08>. It supports one-step (Pinkse and Slade, 1998) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(97)00097-3> and two-step GMM estimator along with the linearized GMM estimator proposed by Klier and McMillen (2008) <doi:10.1198/073500107000000188>. It also allows for either Probit or Logit model and compute the average marginal effects. All these models are presented in Sarrias and Piras (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jocm.2023.100432>.

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, 2024) <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.

This package provides a tool for survival analysis using a discrete time approach with ensemble binary classification. spect provides a simple interface consistent with commonly used R data analysis packages, such as caret', a variety of parameter options to help facilitate search automation, a high degree of transparency to the end-user - all intermediate data sets and parameters are made available for further analysis and useful, out-of-the-box visualizations of model performance. Methods for transforming survival data into discrete-time are adapted from the autosurv package by Suresh et al., (2022) <doi:10.1186/s12874-022-01679-6>.
