This package provides a robust and powerful empirical Bayesian approach is developed for replicability analysis of two large-scale experimental studies. The method controls the false discovery rate by using the joint local false discovery rate based on the replicability null as the test statistic. An EM algorithm combined with a shape constraint nonparametric method is used to estimate unknown parameters and functions. [Li, Y. et al., (2024), <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1011423>].
Separate a data frame in two based on key columns. The function unjoin() provides an inside-out version of a nested data frame. This is used to identify duplication and normalize it (in the database sense) by linking two tables with the redundancy removed. This is a basic requirement for detecting topology within spatial structures that has motivated the need for this package as a building block for workflows within more applied projects.
This package provides a toolbox of common robust statistical tests, including robust descriptives, robust t-tests, and robust ANOVA. It is also available as a module for jamovi (see <https://www.jamovi.org> for more information). Walrus is based on the WRS2 package by Patrick Mair, which is in turn based on the scripts and work of Rand Wilcox. These analyses are described in depth in the book Introduction to Robust Estimation & Hypothesis Testing'.
Allows to provide live interpretations and explanations of statistical functions in R. These interpretations and explanations are shown when the explained function is called by the user. They can interact with the values of the explained function's actual results to offer relevant, meaningful insights. The xplain interpretations and explanations are based on an easy-to-use XML format that allows to include R code to interact with the returns of the explained function.
This package lets you fit a Gaussian process model to data. Gaussian processes are commonly used in computer experiments to fit an interpolating model. The model is stored as an R6 object and can be easily updated with new data. There are options to run in parallel, and Rcpp has been used to speed up calculations. For more info about Gaussian process software, see Erickson et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2017.10.002>.
ASSIGN is a computational tool to evaluate the pathway deregulation/activation status in individual patient samples. ASSIGN employs a flexible Bayesian factor analysis approach that adapts predetermined pathway signatures derived either from knowledge-based literature or from perturbation experiments to the cell-/tissue-specific pathway signatures. The deregulation/activation level of each context-specific pathway is quantified to a score, which represents the extent to which a patient sample encompasses the pathway deregulation/activation signature.
Banksy is an R package that incorporates spatial information to cluster cells in a feature space (e.g. gene expression). To incorporate spatial information, BANKSY computes the mean neighborhood expression and azimuthal Gabor filters that capture gene expression gradients. These features are combined with the cell's own expression to embed cells in a neighbor-augmented product space which can then be clustered, allowing for accurate and spatially-aware cell typing and tissue domain segmentation.
This package provides functionality for untargeted LC-MS metabolomics research as specified in the associated protocol article in the Metabolomics Data Processing and Data Analysis—Current Best Practices special issue of the Metabolites journal (2020). This includes tabular data preprocessing and quality control, uni- and multivariate analysis as well as quality control visualizations, feature-wise visualizations and results visualizations. Raw data preprocessing and functionality related to biological context, such as pathway analysis, is not included.
The spicyR package provides a framework for performing inference on changes in spatial relationships between pairs of cell types for cell-resolution spatial omics technologies. spicyR consists of three primary steps: (i) summarizing the degree of spatial localization between pairs of cell types for each image; (ii) modelling the variability in localization summary statistics as a function of cell counts and (iii) testing for changes in spatial localizations associated with a response variable.
The goal is to print an "aperçu", a short view of a vector, a matrix, a data.frame, a list or an array. By default, it prints the first 5 elements of each dimension. By default, the number of columns is equal to the number of lines. If you want to control the selection of the elements, you can pass a list, with each element being a vector giving the selection for each dimension.
Developed for use by those tasked with the routine detection, characterisation and quantification of discrete changes in air quality time-series, such as identifying the impacts of air quality policy interventions. The main functions use signal isolation then break-point/segment (BP/S) methods based on strucchange and segmented methods to detect and quantify change events (Ropkins & Tate, 2021, <doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142374>; Ropkins et al., 2026, <doi:10.21105/joss.08839>).

Searches for, accesses, and retrieves Statistics Canada data tables, as well as individual vectors, as tidy data frames. This package enriches the tables with metadata, deals with encoding issues, allows for bilingual English or French language data retrieval, and bundles convenience functions to make it easier to work with retrieved table data. For more efficient data access the package allows for caching data in a local database and database level filtering, data manipulation and summarizing.
For identifying, estimating, and plotting descriptive multidimensional item response theory models, restricted to 2D and 3D and dichotomous or polytomous data that fit the two-parameter logistic model or the graded response model. The method is primarily exploratory and centered on the plot function, which exposes item characteristics and constructs, represented by vector arrows, within a three-dimensional interactive latent space. The results can be useful for item-level analysis as well as test development.
The summation notation suggested by Einstein (1916) <doi:10.1002/andp.19163540702> is a concise mathematical notation that implicitly sums over repeated indices of n-dimensional arrays. Many ordinary matrix operations (e.g. transpose, matrix multiplication, scalar product, diag()', trace etc.) can be written using Einstein notation. The notation is particularly convenient for expressing operations on arrays with more than two dimensions because the respective operators ('tensor products') might not have a standardized name.
