Epidemiological population dynamics models traditionally define a pathogen's virulence as the increase in the per capita rate of mortality of infected hosts due to infection. This package provides functions allowing virulence to be estimated by maximum likelihood techniques. The approach is based on the analysis of relative survival comparing survival in matching cohorts of infected vs. uninfected hosts (Agnew 2019) <doi:10.1101/530709>.

An implementation of intervention effect estimation for DAGs (directed acyclic graphs) learned from binary or continuous data. First, parameters are estimated or sampled for the DAG and then interventions on each node (variable) are propagated through the network (do-calculus). Both exact computation (for continuous data or for binary data up to around 20 variables) and Monte Carlo schemes (for larger binary networks) are implemented.

Procedure for solving the maximin problem for identical design across heterogeneous data groups. Particularly efficient when the design matrix is either orthogonal or has tensor structure. Orthogonal wavelets can be specified for 1d, 2d or 3d data simply by name. For tensor structured design the tensor components (two or three) may be supplied. The package also provides an efficient implementation of the generic magging estimator.

The method aims to identify important factors in screening experiments by aggregation over random models as studied in Singh and Stufken (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2205.13497>. This package provides functions to run the Gauss-Dantzig selector on screening experiments when interactions may be affecting the response. Currently, all functions require each factor to be at two levels coded as +1 and -1.

Sequential strategies for finding a game equilibrium are proposed in a black-box setting (expensive pay-off evaluations, no derivatives). The algorithm handles noiseless or noisy evaluations. Two acquisition functions are available. Graphical outputs can be generated automatically. V. Picheny, M. Binois, A. Habbal (2018) <doi:10.1007/s10898-018-0688-0>. M. Binois, V. Picheny, P.

We developed the Integrated and Robust Deconvolution algorithm to infer cell-type proportions from target bulk RNA-seq data. This package is able to effectively integrate deconvolution results from multiple scRNA-seq datasets and calibrates estimates from reference-based deconvolution by taking into account extra biological information as priors. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is robust to inaccurate external information imposed in the deconvolution system.

This package implements penalised multivariate regression (i.e., for multiple outcomes and many features) by stacked generalisation (<doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab576>). For positively correlated outcomes, a single multivariate regression is typically more predictive than multiple univariate regressions. Includes functions for model fitting, extracting coefficients, outcome prediction, and performance measurement. For optional comparisons, install remMap from GitHub (<https://github.com/cran/remMap>).

Robust nonparametric bootstrap and permutation tests for location, correlation, and regression problems, as described in Helwig (2019a) <doi:10.1002/wics.1457> and Helwig (2019b) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116030>. Univariate and multivariate tests are supported. For each problem, exact tests and Monte Carlo approximations are available. Five different nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals are implemented. Parallel computing is implemented via the parallel package.

The QRI_func() function performs quantile regression analysis using age and sex as predictors to calculate the Quantile Regression Index (QRI) score for each individualâ s regional brain imaging metrics and then averages across the regional scores to generate an average tissue specific score for each subject. The QRI_plot() is used to plot QRI and generate the normative curves for individual measurements.

This package provides models to identify bimodally expressed genes from RNAseq data based on the Bimodality Index. SIBERG models the RNAseq data in the finite mixture modeling framework and incorporates mechanisms for dealing with RNAseq normalization. Three types of mixture models are implemented, namely, the mixture of log normal, negative binomial, or generalized Poisson distribution. See Tong et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts713>.

Estimate vaccine efficacy (VE) using immunogenicity data. The inclusion of immunogenicity data in regression models can increase precision in VE. The methods are described in the publications "Elucidating vaccine efficacy using a correlate of protection, demographics, and logistic regression" and "Improving precision of vaccine efficacy evaluation using immune correlate data in time-to-event models" by Julie Dudasova, Zdenek Valenta, and Jeffrey R. Sachs (2024).

comapr detects crossover intervals for single gametes from their haplotype states sequences and stores the crossovers in GRanges object. The genetic distances can then be calculated via the mapping functions using estimated crossover rates for maker intervals. Visualisation functions for plotting interval-based genetic map or cumulative genetic distances are implemented, which help reveal the variation of crossovers landscapes across the genome and across individuals.

satuRn provides a framework for performing differential transcript usage analyses. The package consists of three main functions. The first function, fitDTU, fits quasi-binomial generalized linear models that model transcript usage in different groups of interest. The second function, testDTU, tests for differential usage of transcripts between groups of interest. Finally, plotDTU visualizes the usage profiles of transcripts in groups of interest.

This package is used to detect combination of genomic coordinates falling within a user defined window size along with user defined overlap between identified neighboring clusters. It can be used for genomic data where the clusters are built on a specific chromosome or specific strand. Clustering can be performed with a "greedy" option allowing thus the presence of additional sites within the allowed window size.

This package provides support for numerical and graphical summaries of RNA-Seq genomic read data. Provided within-lane normalization procedures to adjust for GC-content effect (or other gene-level effects) on read counts: loess robust local regression, global-scaling, and full-quantile normalization. Between-lane normalization procedures to adjust for distributional differences between lanes (e.g., sequencing depth): global-scaling and full-quantile normalization.

This package provides a graphics device for R that is accessible via network protocols. This package was created to make it easier to embed live R graphics in integrated development environments and other applications. The included HTML/JavaScript client (plot viewer) aims to provide a better overall user experience when dealing with R graphics. The device asynchronously serves graphics via HTTP and WebSockets'.

The R Analytic Tool To Learn Easily (Rattle) provides a collection of utilities functions for the data scientist. A Gnome (RGtk2) based graphical interface is included with the aim to provide a simple and intuitive introduction to R for data science, allowing a user to quickly load data from a CSV file (or via ODBC), transform and explore the data, build and evaluate models, and export models as PMML (predictive modelling markup language) or as scores. A key aspect of the GUI is that all R commands are logged and commented through the log tab. This can be saved as a standalone R script file and as an aid for the user to learn R or to copy-and-paste directly into R itself. Note that RGtk2 and cairoDevice have been archived on CRAN. See <https://rattle.togaware.com> for installation instructions.
