Fit computational and measurement models using full Bayesian inference. The package provides a simple and accessible interface by translating complex domain-specific models into brms syntax, a powerful and flexible framework for fitting Bayesian regression models using Stan'. The package is designed so that users can easily apply state-of-the-art models in various research fields, and so that researchers can use it as a new model development framework.

Bayesian methods for predicting the calendar time at which a target number of events is reached in clinical trials. The methodology applies to both blinded and unblinded settings and jointly models enrollment, event-time, and censoring processes. The package provides tools for trial data simulation, model fitting using Stan via the rstan interface, and event time prediction under a wide range of trial designs, including varying sample sizes, enrollment patterns, treatment effects, and event or censoring time distributions. The package is intended to support interim monitoring, operational planning, and decision-making in clinical trial development. Methods are described in Fu et al. (2025) <doi:10.1002/sim.70310>.

The Bayesian Adjustment for Confounding (BAC) algorithm (Wang et al., 2012) can be used to estimate the causal effect of a continuous exposure on a continuous outcome. This package provides an approximate sensitivity analysis of BAC with regards to the hyperparameter omega. BACprior also provides functions to guide the user in their choice of an appropriate omega value. The method is based on Lefebvre, Atherton and Talbot (2014).

Spike and slab regression with a variety of residual error distributions corresponding to Gaussian, Student T, probit, logit, SVM, and a few others. Spike and slab regression is Bayesian regression with prior distributions containing a point mass at zero. The posterior updates the amount of mass on this point, leading to a posterior distribution that is actually sparse, in the sense that if you sample from it many coefficients are actually zeros. Sampling from this posterior distribution is an elegant way to handle Bayesian variable selection and model averaging. See <DOI:10.1504/IJMMNO.2014.059942> for an explanation of the Gaussian case.

Using a Bayesian estimation procedure, this package fits linear quantile regression models such as linear quantile models, linear quantile mixed models, quantile regression joint models for time-to-event and longitudinal data. The estimation procedure is based on the asymmetric Laplace distribution and the JAGS software is used to get posterior samples (Yang, Luo, DeSantis (2019) <doi:10.1177/0962280218784757>).

This is a port of the WTC MATLAB package written by Aslak Grinsted and the wavelet program written by Christopher Torrence and Gibert P. Compo. This package can be used to perform univariate and bivariate (cross-wavelet, wavelet coherence, wavelet clustering) analyses.

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) data sets by Boggy et al. (2008) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0012355>. This package provides a dilution series for one PCR target: a random sequence that minimizes secondary structure and off-target primer binding. The data set is a six-point, ten-fold dilution series. For each concentration there are two replicates. Each amplification curve is 40 cycles long.

This package provides tools for statistical analysis using the binscatter methods developed by Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2024) <https://nppackages.github.io/references/Cattaneo-Crump-Farrell-Feng_2024_AER.pdf>, Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2025) <https://nppackages.github.io/references/Cattaneo-Crump-Farrell-Feng_2025_Stata.pdf> and Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2026) <https://nppackages.github.io/references/Cattaneo-Crump-Farrell-Feng_2026_RESTAT.pdf>. Binscatter provides a flexible way of describing the relationship between two variables based on partitioning/binning of the independent variable of interest. binsreg(), binsqreg() and binsglm() implement binscatter least squares regression, quantile regression and generalized linear regression respectively, with particular focus on constructing binned scatter plots. They also implement robust (pointwise and uniform) inference of regression functions and derivatives thereof. binstest() implements hypothesis testing procedures for parametric functional forms of and nonparametric shape restrictions on the regression function. binspwc() implements hypothesis testing procedures for pairwise group comparison of binscatter estimators. binsregselect() implements data-driven procedures for selecting the number of bins for binscatter estimation. All the commands allow for covariate adjustment, smoothness restrictions and clustering.

Fetches zonal statistics from weather indicators that were calculated for each municipality in Brazil using data from the BR-DWGD and TerraClimate projects. Zonal statistics such as mean, maximum, minimum, standard deviation, and sum were computed by taking into account the data cells that intersect the boundaries of each municipality and stored in Parquet files. This procedure was carried out for all Brazilian municipalities, and for all available dates, for every indicator available in the weather products (BR-DWGD and TerraClimate projects). This package queries on-line the already calculated statistics on the Parquet files and returns easy-to-use data.frames.
