This package implements Bayesian hierarchical models with flexible Gaussian process priors, focusing on Extended Latent Gaussian Models and incorporating various Gaussian process priors for Bayesian smoothing. Computations leverage finite element approximations and adaptive quadrature for efficient inference. Methods are detailed in Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221134172>; Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2024) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2023.2289532>; Zhang, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2305.09914>; and Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13329>.

This package provides tools for Bayesian basket trial design and analysis using a novel three-component local power prior framework with global borrowing control, pairwise similarity assessment and a borrowing threshold. Supports simulation-based evaluation of operating characteristics and comparison with other methods. Applicable to both equal and unequal sample size settings in early-phase oncology trials. For more details see Zhou et al. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.15352>.

Included are two main interfaces, bentcable.ar() and bentcable.dev.plot(), for fitting and diagnosing bent-cable regressions for autoregressive time-series data (Chiu and Lockhart 2010, <doi:10.1002/cjs.10070>) or independent data (time series or otherwise - Chiu, Lockhart and Routledge 2006, <doi:10.1198/016214505000001177>). Some components in the package can also be used as stand-alone functions. The bent cable (linear-quadratic-linear) generalizes the broken stick (linear-linear), which is also handled by this package. Version 0.2 corrected a glitch in the computation of confidence intervals for the CTP. References that were updated from Versions 0.2.1 and 0.2.2 appear in Version 0.2.3 and up. Version 0.3.0 improved robustness of the error-message producing mechanism. Version 0.3.1 improves the NAMESPACE file of the package. It is the author's intention to distribute any future updates via GitHub.

Currently, the package provides several functions for plotting and analyzing bibliometric data (JIF, Journal Impact Factor, and paper percentile values), beamplots with citations and percentiles, and three plot functions to visualize the result of a reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) analysis performed in the free software CRExplorer (see <http://crexplorer.net>). Further extension to more plot variants is planned.

Intended to facilitate acoustic analysis of (animal) sound propagation experiments, which typically aim to quantify changes in signal structure when transmitted in a given habitat by broadcasting and re-recording animal sounds at increasing distances. The package offers a workflow with functions to prepare the data set for analysis as well as to calculate and visualize several degradation metrics, including blur ratio, signal-to-noise ratio, excess attenuation and envelope correlation among others (Dabelsteen et al 1993 <doi:10.1121/1.406682>).

BEAST2 (<https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. BEAUti 2 (which is part of BEAST2') is a GUI tool that allows users to specify the many possible setups and generates the XML file BEAST2 needs to run. This package provides a way to create BEAST2 input files without active user input, but using R function calls instead.

This package provides functions for analyzing and visualizing complex macroevolutionary dynamics on phylogenetic trees. It is a companion package to the command line program BAMM (Bayesian Analysis of Macroevolutionary Mixtures) and is entirely oriented towards the analysis, interpretation, and visualization of evolutionary rates. Functionality includes visualization of rate shifts on phylogenies, estimating evolutionary rates through time, comparing posterior distributions of evolutionary rates across clades, comparing diversification models using Bayes factors, and more.

Causal inference for a binary treatment and continuous outcome using Bayesian Causal Forests. See Hahn, Murray and Carvalho (2020) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1195> for additional information. This implementation relies on code originally accompanying Pratola et. al. (2013) <arXiv:1309.1906>.

This package provides a way to simulate from the prior distribution of Bayesian trees by Chipman et al. (1998) <DOI:10.2307/2669832>. The prior distribution of Bayesian trees is highly dependent on the design matrix X, therefore using the suggested hyperparameters by Chipman et al. (1998) <DOI:10.2307/2669832> is not recommended and could lead to unexpected prior distribution. This work is part of my master thesis (expected 2016).

Bayes factors represent the ratio of probabilities assigned to data by competing scientific hypotheses. However, one drawback of Bayes factors is their dependence on prior specifications that define null and alternative hypotheses. Additionally, there are challenges in their computation. To address these issues, we define Bayes factor functions (BFFs) directly from common test statistics. BFFs express Bayes factors as a function of the prior densities used to define the alternative hypotheses. These prior densities are centered on standardized effects, which serve as indices for the BFF. Therefore, BFFs offer a summary of evidence in favor of alternative hypotheses that correspond to a range of scientifically interesting effect sizes. Such summaries remove the need for arbitrary thresholds to determine "statistical significance." BFFs are available in closed form and can be easily computed from z, t, chi-squared, and F statistics. They depend on hyperparameters "r" and "tau^2", which determine the shape and scale of the prior distributions defining the alternative hypotheses. Plots of BFFs versus effect size provide informative summaries of hypothesis tests that can be easily aggregated across studies.
