This package provides inference for the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test under the null hypothesis H0: AUC = 0.5 for continuous, discrete or mixed random variables. Traditional implementations test H0: F = G, which is inappropriately broad and leads to erroneous inferences. Methods are described in M. Grendar (2025) "Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test of No Group Discrimination" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2511.20308>.

This is a package for fast image processing for images in up to 4 dimensions (two spatial dimensions, one time/depth dimension, one color dimension). It provides most traditional image processing tools (filtering, morphology, transformations, etc.) as well as various functions for easily analyzing image data using R. The package wraps CImg, a simple, modern C++ library for image processing.
Quantile regression with fixed effects solves longitudinal data, considering the individual intercepts as fixed effects. The parametric set of this type of problem used to be huge. Thus penalized methods such as Lasso are currently applied. Adaptive Lasso presents oracle proprieties, which include Gaussianity and correct model selection. Bayesian information criteria (BIC) estimates the optimal tuning parameter lambda. Plot tools are also available.
Facilitates writing computationally reproducible student theses in PDF format that conform to the American Psychological Association (APA) manuscript guidelines (6th Edition). The package currently provides two R Markdown templates for homework and theses at the Psychology Department of the University of Cologne. The package builds on the package papaja but is tailored to the requirements of student theses and omits features for simplicity.
Asymptotic simultaneous confidence intervals for comparison of many treatments with one control, for the difference of binomial proportions, allows for Dunnett-like-adjustment, Bonferroni or unadjusted intervals. Simulation of power of the above interval methods, approximate calculation of any-pair-power, and sample size iteration based on approximate any-pair power. Exact conditional maximum test for many-to-one comparisons to a control.
Search, query, and download tabular and geospatial data from the British Columbia Data Catalogue (<https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/>). Search catalogue data records based on keywords, data licence, sector, data format, and B.C. government organization. View metadata directly in R, download many data formats, and query geospatial data available via the B.C. government Web Feature Service ('WFS') using dplyr syntax.
This package performs brace expansions on strings. Made popular by Unix shells, brace expansion allows users to concisely generate certain character vectors by taking a single string and (recursively) expanding the comma-separated lists and double-period-separated integer and character sequences enclosed within braces in that string. The double-period-separated numeric integer expansion also supports padding the resulting numbers with zeros.

These datasets facilitate a wide range of genomic studies, including the identification of genetic variants, exploration of genomic features, and post-GWAS functional analysis.
This package implements the Fourier cumulative sum (CUSUM) cointegration test for detecting cointegration relationships in time series data with structural breaks. The test uses Fourier approximations to capture smooth structural changes and CUSUM statistics to test for cointegration stability. Based on methodology described in Zaghdoudi (2025) <doi:10.46557/001c.144076>. The corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc) is used for optimal frequency selection.
Generalized LassO applied to knot selection in multivariate B-splinE Regression (GLOBER) implements a novel approach for estimating functions in a multivariate nonparametric regression model based on an adaptive knot selection for B-splines using the Generalized Lasso.

An approach to analyzing Likert response items, with an emphasis on visualizations. The stacked bar plot is the preferred method for presenting Likert results. Tabular results are also implemented along with density plots to assist researchers in determining whether Likert responses can be used quantitatively instead of qualitatively. See the likert(), summary.likert(), and plot.likert() functions to get started.
The proposed method aims at predicting the longitudinal mean response trajectory by a kernel-based estimator. The kernel estimator is constructed by imposing weights based on subject-wise similarity on L2 metric space between predictor trajectories as well as time proximity. Users could also perform variable selections to derive functional predictors with predictive significance by the proposed multiplicative model with multivariate Gaussian kernels.
The goal of McMiso is to provide functions for isotonic regression when there are multiple independent variables. The functions solve the optimization problem using recursion and leverage parallel computing to improve speed, and are useful for situations with relatively large number of covariates. The estimation method follows the projective Bayes solution described in Cheung and Diaz (2023) <doi:10.1093/jrsssb/qkad014>.
