This package performs Bayesian posterior inference for heteroskedastic Gaussian processes. Models are trained through MCMC including elliptical slice sampling (ESS) of latent noise processes and Metropolis-Hastings sampling of kernel hyperparameters. Replicates are handled efficientyly through a Woodbury formulation of the joint likelihood for the mean and noise process (Binois, M., Gramacy, R., Ludkovski, M. (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1458625>) For large data, Vecchia-approximation for faster computation is leveraged (Sauer, A., Cooper, A., and Gramacy, R., (2023), <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2129662>). Incorporates OpenMP and SNOW parallelization and utilizes C'/'C++ under the hood.

Some functions have two versions, table and raster based.

Random sampling from distributions with user-specified population covariance matrix. Marginal information may be fully specified, for which the package implements the VITA (VIne-To-Anything) algorithm Grønneberg and Foldnes (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9569-6>. See also Grønneberg, Foldnes and Marcoulides (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i03>.

This package implements a generalized linear model approach for detecting differentially expressed genes across treatment groups in count data. The package supports both quasi-Poisson and negative binomial models to handle over-dispersion, ensuring robust identification of differential expression. It allows for the inclusion of treatment effects and gene-wise covariates, as well as normalization factors for accurate scaling across samples. Additionally, it incorporates statistical significance testing with options for p-value adjustment and log2 fold range thresholds, making it suitable for RNA-seq analysis as described in by Xu et al., (2024) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0300565>.

The EXPOS model uses a digital elevation model (DEM) to estimate exposed and protected areas for a given hurricane wind direction and inflection angle. The resulting topographic exposure maps can be combined with output from the HURRECON model to estimate hurricane wind damage across a region. For details on the original version of the EXPOS model written in Borland Pascal', see: Boose, Foster, and Fluet (1994) <doi:10.2307/2937142>, Boose, Chamberlin, and Foster (2001) <doi:10.1890/0012-9615(2001)071[0027:LARIOH]2.0.CO;2>, and Boose, Serrano, and Foster (2004) <doi:10.1890/02-4057>.

The geomod does spatial prediction of the Geotechnical soil properties. It predicts the spatial distribution of Geotechnical properties of soil e.g. shear strength, permeability, plasticity index, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) counts, etc. The output of the prediction takes the form of a map or a series of maps. It uses the interpolation technique where a single or statistically â bestâ estimate of spatial occurrence soil property is determined. The interpolation is based on both the sampled data and a variogram model for the spatial correlation of the sampled data. The single estimate is produced by a Kriging technique.

Consider a goodness-of-fit (GOF) problem of testing whether a random sample comes from one sample location-scale model where location and scale parameters are unknown. It is well known that Khmaladze martingale transformation method proposed by Khmaladze (1981) <doi:10.1137/1126027> provides asymptotic distribution free test for the GOF problem. This package provides test statistic and critical value of GOF test for normal, Cauchy, and logistic distributions. This package used the main algorithm proposed by Kim (2020) <doi:10.1007/s00180-020-00971-7> and tests for other distributions will be available at the later version.

Base R's default setting for stringsAsFactors within data.frame() and as.data.frame() is supposedly the most often complained about piece of code in the R infrastructure. The hellno package provides an explicit solution without changing R itself or having to mess around with options. It tries to solve this problem by providing alternative data.frame() and as.data.frame() functions that are in fact simple wrappers around base R's data.frame() and as.data.frame() with stringsAsFactors option set to HELLNO ( which in turn equals FALSE ) by default.

DEsubs is a network-based systems biology package that extracts disease-perturbed subpathways within a pathway network as recorded by RNA-seq experiments. It contains an extensive and customizable framework covering a broad range of operation modes at all stages of the subpathway analysis, enabling a case-specific approach. The operation modes refer to the pathway network construction and processing, the subpathway extraction, visualization and enrichment analysis with regard to various biological and pharmacological features. Its capabilities render it a tool-guide for both the modeler and experimentalist for the identification of more robust systems-level biomarkers for complex diseases.

Implementing the Block Coordinate Ascent with One-Step Generalized Rosen (BCA1SG) algorithm on the semiparametric models for panel count data, interval-censored survival data, and degradation data. A comprehensive description of the BCA1SG algorithm can be found in Wang et al. (2020) <https://github.com/yudongstat/BCA1SG/blob/master/BCA1SG.pdf>. For details of the semiparametric models for panel count data, interval-censored survival data, and degradation data, please see Wellner and Zhang (2007) <doi:10.1214/009053607000000181>, Huang and Wellner (1997) <ISBN:978-0-387-94992-5>, and Wang and Xu (2010) <doi:10.1198/TECH.2009.08197>, respectively.

This package infers state-recorded gender categories from first names and dates of birth using historical datasets. By using these datasets instead of lists of male and female names, this package is able to more accurately infer the gender of a name, and it is able to report the probability that a name was male or female. GUIDELINES: This method must be used cautiously and responsibly. Please be sure to see the guidelines and warnings about usage in the README or the package documentation. See Blevins and Mullen (2015) <http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/9/3/000223/000223.html>.

Error type I and Optimal critical values to test statistical hypothesis based on Neyman-Pearson Lemma and Likelihood ratio test based on random samples from several distributions. The families of distributions are Bernoulli, Exponential, Geometric, Inverse Normal, Normal, Gamma, Gumbel, Lognormal, Poisson, and Weibull. This package is an ideal resource to help with the teaching of Statistics. The main references for this package are Casella G. and Berger R. (2003,ISBN:0-534-24312-6 , "Statistical Inference. Second Edition", Duxbury Press) and Hogg, R., McKean, J., and Craig, A. (2019,ISBN:013468699, "Introduction to Mathematical Statistic. Eighth edition", Pearson).

Helps with the thoughtful saving, reading, and management of result files (using rds files). The core functions take a list of parameters that are used to generate a unique hash to save results under. Then, the same parameter list can be used to read those results back in. This is helpful to avoid clunky file naming when running a large number of simulations. Additionally, helper functions are available for compiling a flat file of parameters of saved results, monitoring result usage, and cleaning up unwanted or unused results.

This package implements a methodology for the design and analysis of dose-response studies that combines aspects of multiple comparison procedures and modeling approaches (Bretz, Pinheiro and Branson, 2005, Biometrics 61, 738-748, <doi: 10.1111/j.1541-0420.2005.00344.x>). The package provides tools for the analysis of dose finding trials as well as a variety of tools necessary to plan a trial to be conducted with the MCP-Mod methodology. Please note: The MCPMod package will not be further developed, all future development of the MCP-Mod methodology will be done in the DoseFinding R-package.

This package provides a novel method to implement cancer subtyping and subtype specific drug targets identification via non-negative matrix tri-factorization. To improve the interpretability, we introduce orthogonal constraint to the row coefficient matrix and column coefficient matrix. To meet the prior knowledge that each subtype should be strongly associated with few gene sets, we introduce sparsity constraint to the association sub-matrix. The average residue was introduced to evaluate the row and column cluster numbers. This is part of the work "Liver Cancer Analysis via Orthogonal Sparse Non-Negative Matrix Tri- Factorization" which will be submitted to BBRC.

This package provides functionality to fit a zero-inflated estimator for small area estimation. This estimator is a combines a linear mixed effects regression model and a logistic mixed effects regression model via a two-stage modeling approach. The estimator's mean squared error is estimated via a parametric bootstrap method. Chandra and others (2012, <doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.598991>) introduce and describe this estimator and mean squared error estimator. White and others (2024+, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.03263>) describe the applicability of this estimator to estimation of forest attributes and further assess the estimator's properties.

This package implements a new RNA-Seq analysis method and integrates two modules: a basic model for pairwise comparison and a linear model for complex design. RNA-Seq quantifies gene expression with reads count, which usually consists of conditions (or treatments) and several replicates for each condition. This software infers differential expression directly by the counts difference between conditions. It assumes that the sum counts difference between conditions follow a negative binomial distribution. In addition, ABSSeq moderates the fold-changes by two steps: the expression level and gene-specific dispersion, that might facilitate the gene ranking by fold-change and visualization.

Implementation of Bayesian multi-task regression models and was developed within the context of imaging genetics. The package can currently fit two models. The Bayesian group sparse multi-task regression model of Greenlaw et al. (2017)<doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx215> can be fit with implementation using Gibbs sampling. An extension of this model developed by Song, Ge et al. to accommodate both spatial correlation as well as correlation across brain hemispheres can also be fit using either mean-field variational Bayes or Gibbs sampling. The model can also be used more generally for multivariate (non-imaging) phenotypes with spatial correlation.

Computed tomography (CT) imaging is a powerful tool for understanding the composition of sediment cores. This package streamlines and accelerates the analysis of CT data generated in the context of environmental science. Included are tools for processing raw DICOM images to characterize sediment composition (sand, peat, etc.). Root analyses are also enabled, including measures of external surface area and volumes for user-defined root size classes. For a detailed description of the application of computed tomography imaging for sediment characterization, see: Davey, E., C. Wigand, R. Johnson, K. Sundberg, J. Morris, and C. Roman. (2011) <DOI: 10.1890/10-2037.1>.

Implementations of the expected shortfall backtests of Bayer and Dimitriadis (2020) <doi:10.1093/jjfinec/nbaa013> as well as other well known backtests from the literature. Can be used to assess the correctness of forecasts of the expected shortfall risk measure which is e.g. used in the banking and finance industry for quantifying the market risk of investments. A special feature of the backtests of Bayer and Dimitriadis (2020) <doi:10.1093/jjfinec/nbaa013> is that they only require forecasts of the expected shortfall, which is in striking contrast to all other existing backtests, making them particularly attractive for practitioners.
