Skinfold measurements is one of the most popular and practical methods for estimating percent body fat. Body composition is a term that describes the relative proportions of fat, bone, and muscle mass in the human body. Following the collection of skinfold measurements, regression analysis (a statistical procedure used to predict a dependent variable based on one or more independent or predictor variables) is used to estimate total percent body fat in humans. <doi:10.4324/9780203868744>.

This package provides a suite of Bayesian MI-LASSO for variable selection methods for multiply-imputed datasets. The package includes four Bayesian MI-LASSO models using shrinkage (Multi-Laplace, Horseshoe, ARD) and Spike-and-Slab (Spike-and-Laplace) priors, along with tools for model fitting via MCMC, four-step projection predictive variable selection, and hyperparameter calibration. Methods are suitable for both continuous and binary covariates under missing-at-random or missing-completely-at-random assumptions. See Zou, J., Wang, S. and Chen, Q. (2025), Bayesian MI-LASSO for Variable Selection on Multiply-Imputed Data. ArXiv, 2211.00114. <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2211.00114> for more details. We also provide the frequentist`s MI-LASSO function.

This package provides tools for bioinformatics modeling using recursive transformer-inspired architectures, autoencoders, random forests, XGBoost, and stacked ensemble models. Includes utilities for cross-validation, calibration, benchmarking, and threshold optimization in predictive modeling workflows. The methodology builds on ensemble learning (Breiman 2001 <doi:10.1023/A:1010933404324>), gradient boosting (Chen and Guestrin 2016 <doi:10.1145/2939672.2939785>), autoencoders (Hinton and Salakhutdinov 2006 <doi:10.1126/science.1127647>), and recursive transformer efficiency approaches such as Mixture-of-Recursions (Bae et al. 2025 <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2507.10524>).

Developed for the following tasks. Simulating, computing maximum likelihood estimator, computing the Fisher information matrix, computing goodness-of-fit measures, and correcting bias of the ML estimator for a wide range of distributions fitted to units placed on progressive type-I interval censoring and progressive type-II censoring plans. The methods of Cox and Snell (1968) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1968.tb00724.x> and bootstrap method for computing the bias-corrected maximum likelihood estimator.

Users can estimate the treatment effect for multiple subgroups basket trials based on the Bayesian Cluster Hierarchical Model (BCHM). In this model, a Bayesian non-parametric method is applied to dynamically calculate the number of clusters by conducting the multiple cluster classification based on subgroup outcomes. Hierarchical model is used to compute the posterior probability of treatment effect with the borrowing strength determined by the Bayesian non-parametric clustering and the similarities between subgroups. To use this package, JAGS software and rjags package are required, and users need to pre-install them.

Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) is a practical methodology that aims to estimate the area of distribution of a species. However, most of the work has focused on estimating static expressions of the correlation between environmental variables. The outputs of correlative species distribution models can be interpreted as maps of the suitable environment for a species but not generally as maps of its actual distribution. Soberón and Peterson (2005) <doi:10.17161/bi.v2i0.4> presented the BAM scheme, a heuristic framework that states that the occupied area of a species occurs on sites that have been accessible through dispersal (M) and have both favorable biotic (B) and abiotic conditions (A). The bamm package implements classes and functions to operate on each element of the BAM and by using a cellular automata model where the occupied area of a species at time t is estimated by the multiplication of three binary matrices: one matrix represents movements (M), another abiotic -niche- tolerances (A), and a third, biotic interactions (B). The theoretical background of the package can be found in Soberón and Osorio-Olvera (2023) <doi:10.1111/jbi.14587>.

The goal of BayesPower is to provide tools for Bayesian sample size determination and power analysis across a range of common hypothesis testing scenarios using Bayes factors. The main function, BayesPower_BayesFactor(), launches an interactive shiny application for performing these analyses. The application also provides command-line code for reproducibility. Details of the methods are described in the tutorial by Wong, Pawel, and Tendeiro (2025) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/pgdac_v3>.

Allows the user to carry out GLM on very large data sets. Data can be created using the data_frame() function and appended to the object with object$append(data); data_frame and data_matrix objects are available that allow the user to store large data on disk. The data is stored as doubles in binary format and any character columns are transformed to factors and then stored as numeric (binary) data while a look-up table is stored in a separate .meta_data file in the same folder. The data is stored in blocks and GLM regression algorithm is modified and carries out a MapReduce- like algorithm to fit the model. The functions bglm(), and summary() and bglm_predict() are available for creating and post-processing of models. The library requires Armadillo installed on your system. It may not function on windows since multi-core processing is done using mclapply() which forks R on Unix/Linux type operating systems.

Convert fitted objects from various R mixed-model packages into tidy data frames along the lines of the broom package. The package provides three S3 generics for each model: tidy(), which summarizes a model's statistical findings such as coefficients of a regression; augment(), which adds columns to the original data such as predictions, residuals and cluster assignments; and glance(), which provides a one-row summary of model-level statistics.

Single linkage clustering and connected component analyses are often performed on biological images. Bioi provides a set of functions for performing these tasks. This functionality is implemented in several key functions that can extend to from 1 to many dimensions. The single linkage clustering method implemented here can be used on n-dimensional data sets, while connected component analyses are limited to 3 or fewer dimensions.

Shows statistics about bytes contained in a file as a circle graph of deviations from mean in sigma increments. The function can be useful for statistically analyze the content of files in a glimpse: text files are shown as a green centered crown, compressed and encrypted files should be shown as equally distributed variations with a very low CV (sigma/mean), and other types of files can be classified between these two categories depending on their text vs binary content, which can be useful to quickly determine how information is stored inside them (databases, multimedia files, etc).

Quantify the stability of each community based on the beta diversity between communities gathered in a single sampling event rather than a series of continuous sampling activities.

This package provides a practical tool for estimating the burden of common communicable diseases in settlements of displaced populations. An online version of the tool can be found at <http://who-refugee-bod.ecdf.ed.ac.uk/shiny/app/>. Estimates of burden of disease aim to synthesize data about cause-specific morbidity and mortality through a systematic approach that enables evidence-based decisions and comparisons across settings. The focus of this tool is on four acute communicable diseases and syndromes, including Acute respiratory infections, Acute diarrheal diseases, Acute jaundice syndrome and Acute febrile illnesses.

This package provides a likelihood method is implemented to present evidence for evaluating bioequivalence (BE). The functions use bioequivalence data [area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak concentration (Cmax)] from various crossover designs commonly used in BE studies including a fully replicated, a partially replicated design, and a conventional 2x2 crossover design. They will calculate the profile likelihoods for the mean difference, total standard deviation ratio, and within subject standard deviation ratio for a test and a reference drug. A plot of a standardized profile likelihood can be generated along with the maximum likelihood estimate and likelihood intervals, which present evidence for bioequivalence.
