This package provides a template model module, tools to help find model modules derived from this template and a programming syntax to use these modules in health economic analyses. These elements are the foundation for a prototype software framework for developing living and transferable models and using those models in reproducible health economic analyses. The software framework is extended by other R libraries. For detailed documentation about the framework and how to use it visit <https://www.ready4-dev.com/>. For a background to the methodological issues that the framework is attempting to help solve, see Hamilton et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s40273-024-01378-8>.
This package provides a piped query generator based on Edgar F. Codd's relational algebra, and on production experience using SQL and dplyr at big data scale. The design represents an attempt to make SQL more teachable by denoting composition by a sequential pipeline notation instead of nested queries or functions. The implementation delivers reliable high performance data processing on large data systems such as Spark', databases, and data.table'. Package features include: data processing trees or pipelines as observable objects (able to report both columns produced and columns used), optimized SQL generation as an explicit user visible table modeling step, plus explicit query reasoning and checking.
Validates estimates of (conditional) average treatment effects obtained using observational data by a) making it easy to obtain and visualize estimates derived using a large variety of methods (G-computation, inverse propensity score weighting, etc.), and b) ensuring that estimates are easily compared to a gold standard (i.e., estimates derived from randomized controlled trials). RCTrep offers a generic protocol for treatment effect validation based on four simple steps, namely, set-selection, estimation, diagnosis, and validation. RCTrep provides a simple dashboard to review the obtained results. The validation approach is introduced by Shen, L., Geleijnse, G. and Kaptein, M. (2023) <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-2559287/v2>.
Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) was developed to create a consistent description of gene products with disease perspectives, and is essential for supporting functional genomics in disease context. Accurate disease descriptions can discover new relationships between genes and disease, and new functions for previous uncharacteried genes and alleles.
This package is able to perform an automatic or interactive quality control on FCS data acquired using flow cytometry instruments. By evaluating three different properties:
flow rate
signal acquisition, and
dynamic range,
the quality control enables the detection and removal of anomalies.
Sleuth is a program for differential analysis of RNA-Seq data. It makes use of quantification uncertainty estimates obtained via Kallisto for accurate differential analysis of isoforms or genes, allows testing in the context of experiments with complex designs, and supports interactive exploratory data analysis via sleuth live.
The ggplot2 package is an excellent and flexible package for elegant data visualization in R. However the default generated plots require some formatting before we can send them for publication. The ggpubr package provides some easy-to-use functions for creating and customizing ggplot2-based publication-ready plots.
This package provides efficient tools to compute the proximity between rows or columns of large matrices. Functions are optimised for large sparse matrices using the Armadillo and Intel TBB libraries. Among several built-in similarity/distance measures, computation of correlation, cosine similarity and Euclidean distance is particularly fast.
Colored terminal output on terminals that support ANSI color and highlight codes. It also works in Emacs ESS. ANSI color support is automatically detected. Colors and highlighting can be combined and nested. New styles can also be created easily. This package was inspired by the "chalk" JavaScript project.
This package provides a set of tools for inspecting and understanding R data structures inspired by str. It includes ast for visualizing abstract syntax trees, ref for showing shared references, cst for showing call stack trees, and obj_size for computing object sizes.
This package enables the translation of ggplot2 graphs to an interactive web-based version and/or the creation of custom web-based visualizations directly from R. Once uploaded to a plotly account, plotly graphs (and the data behind them) can be viewed and modified in a web browser.
ZeroMQ is a well-known library for high-performance asynchronous messaging in scalable, distributed applications. This package provides high level R wrapper functions to easily utilize ZeroMQ. The main focus is on interactive client/server programming frameworks. A few wrapper functions compatible with rzmq are also provided.
This package aims to import, parse, and analyze KEGG data such as KEGG PATHWAY and KEGG MODULE. The package supports visualizing KEGG information using ggplot2 and ggraph through using the grammar of graphics. The package enables the direct visualization of the results from various omics analysis packages.
4way plots enable a comparison of the logFC values from two contrasts of differential gene expression. The gg4way package creates 4way plots using the ggplot2 framework and supports popular Bioconductor objects. The package also provides information about the correlation between contrasts and significant genes of interest.
isobar provides methods for preprocessing, normalization, and report generation for the analysis of quantitative mass spectrometry proteomics data labeled with isobaric tags, such as iTRAQ and TMT. Features modules for integrating and validating PTM-centric datasets (isobar-PTM). More information on http://www.ms-isobar.org.
This package takes the MiChip miRNA microarray .grp scanner output files and parses these out, providing summary and plotting functions to analyse MiChip hybridizations. A set of hybridizations is packaged into an ExpressionSet allowing it to be used by otherBioConductor packages.
Collection of functions to calculate a nucleotide sequence surrounding for splice donors sites to either activate or repress donor usage. The proposed alternative nucleotide sequence encodes the same amino acid and could be applied e.g. in reporter systems to silence or activate cryptic splice donor sites.
An efficient Rcpp implementation of the Adaptive Rejection Metropolis Sampling (ARMS) algorithm proposed by Gilks, W. R., Best, N. G. and Tan, K. K. C. (1995) <doi:10.2307/2986138>. This allows for sampling from a univariate target probability distribution specified by its (potentially unnormalised) log density.
This package provides a set of dynamic measurement models to estimate latent vote shares from noisy polling sources. The models build on Jackman (2009, ISBN: 9780470011546) and feature specialized methods for bias adjustment based on past performance and correction for asymmetric errors based on candidate political alignment.
We aim to deal with data with measurement error in the response and misclassification censoring status under an AFT model. This package primarily contains three functions, which are used to generate artificial data, correction for error-prone data and estimate the functional covariates for an AFT model.
Simple radiocarbon calibration and chronological analysis. This package allows the calibration of radiocarbon ages and modern carbon fraction values using multiple calibration curves. It allows the calculation of highest density region intervals and credible intervals. The package also provides tools for visualising results and estimating statistical summaries.
The goal of the package is to provide an easy-to-use method for estimating degrees of relatedness (up to the second degree) for extreme low-coverage data. The package also allows users to quantify and visualise the level of confidence in the estimated degrees of relatedness.
Perform the functional modeling methods of Huang and Wang (2018) <doi:10.1111/biom.12741> to accommodate dependent error in covariates of the proportional hazards model. The adopted measurement error model has minimal assumptions on the dependence structure, and an instrumental variable is supposed to be available.
This package provides tools for fitting the copCAR (Hughes, 2015) <DOI:10.1080/10618600.2014.948178> regression model for discrete areal data. Three types of estimation are supported (continuous extension, composite marginal likelihood, and distributional transform), for three types of outcomes (Bernoulli, negative binomial, and Poisson).
