Interactive shiny application for working with Structural Equation Modelling technique. Runtime examples are provided in the package function as well as at <https://kartikeyab.shinyapps.io/semwebappk/> .
Supporting materials for a course and book on data visualization. It contains utility functions for graphs and several sample data sets. See Healy (2019) <ISBN 978-0691181622>.
Wrapping and supplementing commonly used functions in the R ecosystem related to spatial data science, while serving as a basis for other packages maintained by Wenbo Lv.
An optimal alternating optimization algorithm for estimation of precision matrices of sparse tensor graphical models, and an efficient inference procedure for support recovery of the precision matrices.
Framework to run Monte Carlo simulations over a parameter grid. Allows to parallelize the simulations. Generates plots and LaTeX tables summarizing the results from the simulation.
Automatically generates HTML variable documentation including variable names, labels, classes, value labels (if applicable), value ranges, and summary statistics. See the vignette "vtable" for a package overview.
Uses a Bayesian model to estimate the variability in a repeated measure outcome and use that as an outcome or a predictor in a second stage model.
Analysing convergent evolution using the Wheatsheaf index, described in Arbuckle et al. (2014) <doi: 10.1111/2041-210X.12195>, and some other unrelated but perhaps useful functions.
Generate wordsearch and crossword puzzles using custom lists of words (and clues). Make them easy or hard, and print them to solve offline with paper and pencil!
The true random number service provided by the random.org website created by Mads Haahr samples atmospheric noise via radio tuned to an unused broadcasting frequency together with a skew correction algorithm due to John von Neumann. More background is available in the included vignette based on an essay by Mads Haahr. In its current form, the package offers functions to retrieve random integers, randomized sequences and random strings.
The rfacts package is an R interface to the Fixed and Adaptive Clinical Trial Simulator ('FACTS') on Unix-like systems. It programmatically invokes FACTS to run clinical trial simulations, and it aggregates simulation output data into tidy data frames. These capabilities provide end-to-end automation for large-scale simulation pipelines, and they enhance computational reproducibility. For more information on FACTS itself, please visit <https://www.berryconsultants.com/software/>.
Based on external numerous data files where rfPred scores are pre-calculated on all genomic positions of the human exome, the package gives rfPred scores to missense variants identified by the chromosome, the position (hg19 version), the referent and alternative nucleotids and the uniprot identifier of the protein. Note that for using the package, the user has to download the TabixFile and index (approximately 3.3 Go).
Estimation of both single- and multiple-assignment Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDDs). Provides both parametric (global) and non-parametric (local) estimation choices for both sharp and fuzzy designs, along with power analysis and assumption checks. Introductions to the underlying logic and analysis of RDDs are in Thistlethwaite, D. L., Campbell, D. T. (1960) <doi:10.1037/h0044319> and Lee, D. S., Lemieux, T. (2010) <doi:10.1257/jel.48.2.281>.
CNVrd2 uses next-generation sequencing data to measure human gene copy number for multiple samples, indentify SNPs tagging copy number variants and detect copy number polymorphic genomic regions.
This package provides functions for Bayesian A/B testing including prior elicitation options based on Kass and Vaidyanathan (1992) doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1992.tb01868.x.
This package lets you use syntax inspired by the package glue to extract matched substrings in a more intuitive and compact way than by using standard regular expressions.
This package provides a collection of tests, data sets, and examples for diagnostic checking in linear regression models. Furthermore, some generic tools for inference in parametric models are provided.
This is a package for the computation of highest density regions in one and two dimensions, kernel estimation of univariate density functions conditional on one covariate, and multimodal regression.
