Perform sparse estimation of a Gaussian graphical model (GGM) with node aggregation through variable clustering. Currently, the package implements the clusterpath estimator of the Gaussian graphical model (CGGM) (Touw, Alfons, Groenen & Wilms, 2025; <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2407.00644>).

Use three methods to estimate parameters from a mediation analysis with a binary misclassified mediator. These methods correct for the problem of "label switching" using Youden's J criteria. A detailed description of the analysis methods is available in Webb and Wells (2024), "Effect estimation in the presence of a misclassified binary mediator" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2407.06970>.

In metabolic flux experiments tracer molecules (often glucose containing labelled carbon) are incorporated in compounds measured using mass spectrometry. The mass isotopologue distributions of these compounds needs to be corrected for natural abundance of labelled carbon and other effects, which are specific on the compound and ionization technique applied. This package provides functions to correct such effects in gas chromatography atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry analyses.

This package provides simple, reproducible access to datasets from the Chicago Open Data portal <https://data.cityofchicago.org/>. Functions return results as tidy tibbles and support optional filtering, sorting, and row limits via the Socrata API.

Allows to plot a number of information related to the interpretation of Correspondence Analysis results. It provides the facility to plot the contribution of rows and columns categories to the principal dimensions, the quality of points display on selected dimensions, the correlation of row and column categories to selected dimensions, etc. It also allows to assess which dimension(s) is important for the data structure interpretation by means of different statistics and tests. The package also offers the facility to plot the permuted distribution of the table total inertia as well as of the inertia accounted for by pairs of selected dimensions. Different facilities are also provided that aim to produce interpretation-oriented scatterplots. Reference: Alberti 2015 <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2015.07.001>.

This package implements a methodology for using cell volume distributions to estimate cell growth rates and division times that is described in the paper, "Cell Volume Distributions Reveal Cell Growth Rates and Division Times", by Michael Halter, John T. Elliott, Joseph B. Hubbard, Alessandro Tona and Anne L. Plant, which appeared in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. In order to reproduce the analysis used to obtain Table 1 in the paper, execute the command "example(fitVolDist)".

This package provides automated small-cell suppression for one- and two-way frequency tables. Cells falling below a user-defined frequency threshold are masked, with suppression propagated to secondary cells to prevent indirect disclosure. Designed for clinical and health administrative data, the package supports a range of tabular structures and fits into reproducible reporting pipelines, reducing manual review while applying consistent suppression rules across data sharing workflows.

Proposes Seq2seq Time-Feature Analysis using an Encoder-Decoder to project into latent space and a Forward Network to predict the next sequence.

This package provides functions to create contour-enhanced forest plots for meta-analysis, supporting binary outcomes (e.g., odds ratios, risk ratios), continuous outcomes (e.g., correlations), and prevalence estimates. Includes options for prediction intervals, customized colors, study labeling, and contour shading to highlight regions of statistical significance. Based on metafor and ggplot2'.

This package provides methods for interpreting CoDa (Compositional Data) regression models along the lines of "Pairwise share ratio interpretations of compositional regression models" (Dargel and Thomas-Agnan 2024) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2024.107945>. The new methods include variation scenarios, elasticities, elasticity differences and share ratio elasticities. These tools are independent of log-ratio transformations and allow an interpretation in the original space of shares. CoDaImpact is designed to be used with the compositions package and its ecosystem.

Calculates the dutch air quality index (LKI). This index was created on the basis of scientific studies of the health effects of air pollution. From these studies it can be deduced at what concentrations a certain percentage of the population can be affected. For more information see: <https://www.rivm.nl/bibliotheek/rapporten/2014-0050.pdf>.

Calculates power for assessment of intermediate biomarker responses as correlates of risk in the active treatment group in clinical efficacy trials, as described in Gilbert, Janes, and Huang, Power/Sample Size Calculations for Assessing Correlates of Risk in Clinical Efficacy Trials (2016, Statistics in Medicine). The methods differ from past approaches by accounting for the level of clinical treatment efficacy overall and in biomarker response subgroups, which enables the correlates of risk results to be interpreted in terms of potential correlates of efficacy/protection. The methods also account for inter-individual variability of the observed biomarker response that is not biologically relevant (e.g., due to technical measurement error of the laboratory assay used to measure the biomarker response), which is important because power to detect a specified correlate of risk effect size is heavily affected by the biomarker's measurement error. The methods can be used for a general binary clinical endpoint model with a univariate dichotomous, trichotomous, or continuous biomarker response measured in active treatment recipients at a fixed timepoint after randomization, with either case-cohort Bernoulli sampling or case-control without-replacement sampling of the biomarker (a baseline biomarker is handled as a trivial special case). In a specified two-group trial design, the computeN() function can initially be used for calculating additional requisite design parameters pertaining to the target population of active treatment recipients observed to be at risk at the biomarker sampling timepoint. Subsequently, the power calculation employs an inverse probability weighted logistic regression model fitted by the tps() function in the osDesign package. Power results as well as the relationship between the correlate of risk effect size and treatment efficacy can be visualized using various plotting functions. To link power calculations for detecting a correlate of risk and a correlate of treatment efficacy, a baseline immunogenicity predictor (BIP) can be simulated according to a specified classification rule (for dichotomous or trichotomous BIPs) or correlation with the biomarker response (for continuous BIPs), then outputted along with biomarker response data under assignment to treatment, and clinical endpoint data for both treatment and placebo groups.

Implementation of the categorical instrumental variable (CIV) estimator proposed by Wiemann (2023) <arXiv:2311.17021>. CIV allows for optimal instrumental variable estimation in settings with relatively few observations per category. To obtain valid inference in these challenging settings, CIV leverages a regularization assumption that implies existence of a latent categorical variable with fixed finite support achieving the same first stage fit as the observed instrument.
