The package contains functions to study the S(E)IR model, spatial and age-structured SIR models; time-series SIR and chain-binomial stochastic models; catalytic disease models; coupled map lattice models of spatial transmission and network models for social spread of infection. The package is also an advanced quantitative companion to the coursera Epidemics Massive Online Open Course <https://www.coursera.org/learn/epidemics>.

It provides functions to generate operating characteristics and to calculate Sequential Conditional Probability Ratio Tests(SCPRT) efficacy and futility boundary values along with sample/event size of Multi-Arm Multi-Stage(MAMS) trials for different outcomes. The package is based on Jianrong Wu, Yimei Li, Liang Zhu (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9682>, Jianrong Wu, Yimei Li (2023) "Group Sequential Multi-Arm Multi-Stage Survival Trial Design with Treatment Selection"(Manuscript accepted for publication) and Jianrong Wu, Yimei Li, Shengping Yang (2023) "Group Sequential Multi-Arm Multi-Stage Trial Design with Ordinal Endpoints"(In preparation).

This package provides a wrapper for querying WISKI databases via the KiWIS REST API. WISKI is an SQL relational database used for the collection and storage of water data developed by KISTERS and KiWIS is a REST service that provides access to WISKI databases via HTTP requests (<https://www.kisters.eu/water-weather-and-environment/>). Contains a list of default databases (called hubs') and also allows users to provide their own KiWIS URL. Supports the entire query process- from metadata to specific time series values. All data is returned as tidy tibbles.

Various efficient and robust bootstrap methods are implemented for linear models with least squares estimation. Functions within this package allow users to create bootstrap sampling distributions for model parameters, test hypotheses about parameters, and visualize the bootstrap sampling or null distributions. Methods implemented for linear models include the wild bootstrap by Wu (1986) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176350142>, the residual and paired bootstraps by Efron (1979, ISBN:978-1-4612-4380-9), the delete-1 jackknife by Quenouille (1956) <doi:10.2307/2332914>, and the Bayesian bootstrap by Rubin (1981) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176345338>.

Advanced forecasting algorithms for long-term energy demand at the national or regional level. The methodology is based on Grandón et al. (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.122249>; Zimmermann & Ziel (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.apenergy.2025.125444>. Real-time data, including power demand, weather conditions, and macroeconomic indicators, are provided through automated API integration with various institutions. The modular approach maintains transparency on the various model selection processes and encompasses the ability to be adapted to individual needs. oRaklE tries to help facilitating robust decision-making in energy management and planning.

Implementations of the quantile slice sampler of Heiner et al. (2024+, in preparation) as well as other popular slice samplers are provided. Helper functions for specifying pseudo-target distributions are included, both for diagnostics and for tuning the quantile slice sampler. Other implemented methods include the generalized elliptical slice sampler of Nishihara et al. (2014)<https://jmlr.org/papers/v15/nishihara14a.html

Uses simulation to create prediction intervals for post-policy outcomes in interrupted time series (ITS) designs, following Miratrix (2020) <arXiv:2002.05746>. This package provides methods for fitting ITS models with lagged outcomes and variables to account for temporal dependencies. It then conducts inference via simulation, simulating a set of plausible counterfactual post-policy series to compare to the observed post-policy series. This package also provides methods to visualize such data, and also to incorporate seasonality models and smoothing and aggregation/summarization. This work partially funded by Arnold Ventures in collaboration with MDRC.

Have you ever index sorted cells in a 96 or 384-well plate and then sequenced using Sanger sequencing? If so, you probably had some struggles to either check the electropherogram of each cell sequenced manually, or when you tried to identify which cell was sorted where after sequencing the plate. Scifer was developed to solve this issue by performing basic quality control of Sanger sequences and merging flow cytometry data from probed single-cell sorted B cells with sequencing data. scifer can export summary tables, fasta files, electropherograms for visual inspection, and generate reports.

This package provides a collection of functions and classes which serve as the foundation for packages such as PharmacoGx and RadioGx. It was created to abstract shared functionality to increase ease of maintainability and reduce code repetition in current and future Gx suite programs. Major features include a CoreSet class, from which RadioSet and PharmacoSet are derived, along with get and set methods for each respective slot. Additional functions related to fitting and plotting dose response curves, quantifying statistical correlation and calculating AUC or SF are included.

The DHARMa package uses a simulation-based approach to create readily interpretable scaled (quantile) residuals for fitted (generalized) linear mixed models. Moreover, externally created simulations, e.g. posterior predictive simulations from Bayesian software such as JAGS, STAN, or BUGS can be processed as well. The resulting residuals are standardized to values between 0 and 1 and can be interpreted as intuitively as residuals from a linear regression. The package also provides a number of plot and test functions for typical model misspecification problems, such as over/underdispersion, zero-inflation, and residual spatial, phylogenetic and temporal autocorrelation.

Covariance measure tests for conditional independence testing against conditional covariance and nonlinear conditional mean alternatives. The package implements versions of the generalised covariance measure test (Shah and Peters, 2020, <doi:10.1214/19-aos1857>) and projected covariance measure test (Lundborg et al., 2023, <doi:10.1214/24-AOS2447>). The tram-GCM test, for censored responses, is implemented including the Cox model and survival forests (Kook et al., 2024, <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2395588>). Application examples to variable significance testing and modality selection can be found in Kook and Lundborg (2024, <doi:10.1093/bib/bbae475>).

This package provides a collection of tools that support data diagnosis, exploration, and transformation. Data diagnostics provides information and visualization of missing values, outliers, and unique and negative values to help you understand the distribution and quality of your data. Data exploration provides information and visualization of the descriptive statistics of univariate variables, normality tests and outliers, correlation of two variables, and the relationship between the target variable and predictor. Data transformation supports binning for categorizing continuous variables, imputes missing values and outliers, and resolves skewness. And it creates automated reports that support these three tasks.

Conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding, selection bias, and measurement error (individually or in combination; VanderWeele & Ding (2017) <doi:10.7326/M16-2607>; Smith & VanderWeele (2019) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001032>; VanderWeele & Li (2019) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwz133>; Smith, Mathur, & VanderWeele (2021) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001380>). Also conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding in meta-analyses (Mathur & VanderWeele (2020a) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1529598>; Mathur & VanderWeele (2020b) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001180>) and for additive measures of effect modification (Mathur et al., <doi:10.1093/ije/dyac073>).

An implementation of regression models with partial differential regularizations, making use of the Finite Element Method. The models efficiently handle data distributed over irregularly shaped domains and can comply with various conditions at the boundaries of the domain. A priori information about the spatial structure of the phenomenon under study can be incorporated in the model via the differential regularization. See Sangalli, L. M. (2021) <doi:10.1111/insr.12444> "Spatial Regression With Partial Differential Equation Regularisation" for an overview. The release 1.1-9 requires R (>= 4.2.0) to be installed on windows machines.

Forensic applications of pedigree analysis, including likelihood ratios for relationship testing, general relatedness inference, marker simulation, and power analysis. forrel is part of the pedsuite', a collection of packages for pedigree analysis, further described in the book Pedigree Analysis in R (Vigeland, 2021, ISBN:9780128244302). Several functions deal specifically with power analysis in missing person cases, implementing methods described in Vigeland et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2020.102376>. Data import from the Familias software (Egeland et al. (2000) <doi:10.1016/S0379-0738(00)00147-X>) is supported through the pedFamilias package.

Given a group of genomes and their relationship with each other, the package clusters the genomes and selects the most representative members of each cluster. Additional data can be provided to the prioritize certain genomes. The results can be printed out as a list or a new phylogeny with graphs of the trees and distance distributions also available. For detailed introduction see: Thomas H Clarke, Lauren M Brinkac, Granger Sutton, and Derrick E Fouts (2018), GGRaSP: a R-package for selecting representative genomes using Gaussian mixture models, Bioinformatics, bty300, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bty300>.

The risk plot may be one of the most commonly used figures in tumor genetic data analysis. We can conclude the following two points: Comparing the prediction results of the model with the real survival situation to see whether the survival rate of the high-risk group is lower than that of the low-level group, and whether the survival time of the high-risk group is shorter than that of the low-risk group. The other is to compare the heat map and scatter plot to see the correlation between the predictors and the outcome.

The number of clusters (k) is needed to start all the partitioning clustering algorithms. An optimal value of this input argument is widely determined by using some internal validity indices. Since most of the existing internal indices suggest a k value which is computed from the clustering results after several runs of a clustering algorithm they are computationally expensive. On the contrary, the package kpeaks enables to estimate k before running any clustering algorithm. It is based on a simple novel technique using the descriptive statistics of peak counts of the features in a data set.

Implementation of several phenotype-based family genetic risk scores with unified input data and data preparation functions to help facilitate the required data preparation and management. The implemented family genetic risk scores are the extended liability threshold model conditional on family history from Pedersen (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2022.01.009> and Pedersen (2023) <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41210-z>, Pearson-Aitken Family Genetic Risk Scores from Krebs (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2024.09.009>, and family genetic risk score from Kendler (2021) <doi:10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2021.0336>.

Sharing statistical methods or simulation frameworks through shiny applications often requires workflows for handling data. To help save and display simulation results, the postgresUI() and postgresServer() functions in mmints help with persistent data storage using a PostgreSQL database. The mmints package also offers data upload functionality through the csvUploadUI() and csvUploadServer() functions which allow users to upload data, view variables and their types, and edit variable types before fitting statistical models within the shiny application. These tools aim to enhance efficiency and user interaction in shiny based statistical and simulation applications.

Estimates exponential-family random graph models for multilevel network data, assuming the multilevel structure is observed. The scope, at present, covers multilevel models where the set of nodes is nested within known blocks. The estimation method uses Monte-Carlo maximum likelihood estimation (MCMLE) methods to estimate a variety of canonical or curved exponential family models for binary random graphs. MCMLE methods for curved exponential-family random graph models can be found in Hunter and Handcock (JCGS, 2006). The package supports parallel computing, and provides methods for assessing goodness-of-fit of models and visualization of networks.

This package provides a collection of tools to fit and work with trophic Species Distribution Models. Trophic Species Distribution Models combine knowledge of trophic interactions with Bayesian structural equation models that model each species as a function of its prey (or predators) and environmental conditions. It exploits the topological ordering of the known trophic interaction network to predict species distribution in space and/or time, where the prey (or predator) distribution is unavailable. The method implemented by the package is described in Poggiato, Andréoletti, Pollock and Thuiller (2022) <doi:10.22541/au.166853394.45823739/v1>.

Many tools for data analysis are not available in R, but are present in public repositories like conda. The Herper package provides a comprehensive set of functions to interact with the conda package managament system. With Herper users can install, manage and run conda packages from the comfort of their R session. Herper also provides an ad-hoc approach to handling external system requirements for R packages. For people developing packages with python conda dependencies we recommend using basilisk (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/basilisk.html) to internally support these system requirments pre-hoc.

Here we present Link-HD, an approach to integrate heterogeneous datasets, as a generalization of STATIS-ACT (“Structuration des Tableaux A Trois Indices de la Statistique–Analyse Conjointe de Tableaux”), a family of methods to join and compare information from multiple subspaces. However, STATIS-ACT has some drawbacks since it only allows continuous data and it is unable to establish relationships between samples and features. In order to tackle these constraints, we incorporate multiple distance options and a linear regression based Biplot model in order to stablish relationships between observations and variable and perform variable selection.
