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.

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.

It covers various approaches to analysis of variance, provides an assumption testing section in order to provide a decision diagram that allows selecting the most appropriate technique. It provides the classical analysis of variance, the nonparametric equivalent of Kruskal Wallis, and the Bayesian approach. These results are shown in an interactive shiny panel, which allows modifying the arguments of the tests, contains interactive graphics and presents automatic conclusions depending on the tests in order to contribute to the interpretation of these analyzes. AovBay uses Stan and FactorBayes for Bayesian analysis and Highcharts for interactive charts.

The Bayesian MCMC estimation of parameters for Thomas-type cluster point process with various inhomogeneities. It allows for inhomogeneity in (i) distribution of parent points, (ii) mean number of points in a cluster, (iii) cluster spread. The package also allows for the Bayesian MCMC algorithm for the homogeneous generalized Thomas process. The cluster size is allowed to have a variance that is greater or less than the expected value (cluster sizes are over or under dispersed). Details are described in DvoŠák, RemeÅ¡, Beránek & MrkviÄ ka (2022) <arXiv: 10.48550/arXiv.2205.07946>.

It provides the ability to generate images from documents of different types. Three main features are provided: functions for generating document thumbnails, functions for performing visual tests of documents and a function for updating fields and table of contents of a Microsoft Word or RTF document. In order to work, LibreOffice must be installed on the machine and or Microsoft Word'. If the latter is available, it can be used to produce PDF documents or images identical to the originals; otherwise, LibreOffice is used and the rendering can be sometimes different from the original documents.

Automated time series forecasting developed by Microsoft Finance. The Microsoft Finance Time Series Forecasting Framework, aka Finn, can be used to forecast any component of the income statement, balance sheet, or any other area of interest by finance. Any numerical quantity over time, Finn can be used to forecast it. While it can be applied outside of the finance domain, Finn was built to meet the needs of financial analysts to better forecast their businesses within a company, and has a lot of built in features that are specific to the needs of financial forecasters. Happy forecasting!

Calculates the fused extended two-way fixed effects (FETWFE) estimator for unbiased and efficient estimation of difference-in-differences in panel data with staggered treatment adoption. This estimator eliminates bias inherent in conventional two-way fixed effects estimators, while also employing a novel bridge regression regularization approach to improve efficiency and yield valid standard errors. Provides flexible tuning parameters (including user-specified or data-driven choices for penalty parameters), detailed output including overall and cohort-specific treatment effects with confidence intervals, and extensive diagnostic tools. See details in Faletto (2024) (<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.05985>).

This package provides a set of wrappers around rjags functions to run Bayesian analyses in JAGS (specifically, via libjags'). A single function call can control adaptive, burn-in, and sampling MCMC phases, with MCMC chains run in sequence or in parallel. Posterior distributions are automatically summarized (with the ability to exclude some monitored nodes if desired) and functions are available to generate figures based on the posteriors (e.g., predictive check plots, traceplots). Function inputs, argument syntax, and output format are nearly identical to the R2WinBUGS'/'R2OpenBUGS packages to allow easy switching between MCMC samplers.

This package provides general linear model facilities (single y-variable, multiple x-variables with arbitrary mixture of continuous and categorical and arbitrary interactions) for cross-species data. The method is, however, based on the nowadays rather uncommon situation in which uncertainty about a phylogeny is well represented by adopting a single polytomous tree. The theory is in A. Grafen (1989, Proc. R. Soc. B 326, 119-157) and aims to cope with both recognised phylogeny (closely related species tend to be similar) and unrecognised phylogeny (a polytomy usually indicates ignorance about the true sequence of binary splits).

Tool to automatically fetch, transform and arrange subsets of multi- dimensional data sets (collections of files) stored in local and/or remote file systems or servers, using multicore capabilities where possible. The tool provides an interface to perceive a collection of data sets as a single large multidimensional data array, and enables the user to request for automatic retrieval, processing and arrangement of subsets of the large array. Wrapper functions to add support for custom file formats can be plugged in/out, making the tool suitable for any research field where large multidimensional data sets are involved.

An implementation of z-curves - a method for estimating expected discovery and replicability rates on the bases of test-statistics of published studies. The package provides functions for fitting the new density and EM version (Bartoš & Schimmack, 2020, <doi:10.31234/osf.io/urgtn>), censored observations, as well as the original density z-curve (Brunner & Schimmack, 2020, <doi:10.15626/MP.2018.874>). Furthermore, the package provides summarizing and plotting functions for the fitted z-curve objects. See the aforementioned articles for more information about the z-curves, expected discovery and replicability rates, validation studies, and limitations.

This package provides functions for the integrated analysis of protein-protein interaction networks and the detection of functional modules. Different datasets can be integrated into the network by assigning p-values of statistical tests to the nodes of the network. E.g. p-values obtained from the differential expression of the genes from an Affymetrix array are assigned to the nodes of the network. By fitting a beta-uniform mixture model and calculating scores from the p-values, overall scores of network regions can be calculated and an integer linear programming algorithm identifies the maximum scoring subnetwork.

This package provides a fast reimplementation of several density-based algorithms of the DBSCAN family. It includes the clustering algorithms DBSCAN (density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise) and hierarchical DBSCAN (HDBSCAN), the ordering algorithm ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS), shared nearest neighbor clustering, and the outlier detection algorithms local outlier factor (LOF) and global-local outlier score from hierarchies (GLOSH). The implementations use the kd-tree data structure for faster k-nearest neighbor search. An R interface to fast kNN and fixed-radius NN search is also provided.

Functionalities to simulate space-time data and to estimate dynamic-spatial panel data models. Estimators implemented are the BCML (Elhorst (2010), <doi:10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2010.03.003>), the MML (Elhorst (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2010.03.003>) and the INLA Bayesian estimator (Lindgren and Rue, (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i19>; Bivand, Gomez-Rubio and Rue, (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i20>) adapted to panel data. The package contains functions to replicate the analyses of the scientific article entitled "Agricultural Productivity in Space" (Baldoni and Esposti (2021), <doi:10.1111/ajae.12155>)).

This package provides methods to evaluate the performance characteristics of various point and interval estimators for optimal adaptive two-stage designs as described in Meis et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/sim.10020>. Specifically, this package is written to work with trial designs created by the adoptr package (Kunzmann et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i09>; Pilz et al. (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.8953>)). Apart from the a priori evaluation of performance characteristics, this package also allows for the evaluation of the implemented estimators on real datasets, and it implements methods to calculate p-values.

Set of functions to perform various bootstrap unit root tests for both individual time series (including augmented Dickey-Fuller test and union tests), multiple time series and panel data; see Smeekes and Wilms (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v106.i12>, Palm, Smeekes and Urbain (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9892.2007.00565.x>, Palm, Smeekes and Urbain (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2010.11.010>, Moon and Perron (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2012.01.008>, Smeekes and Taylor (2012) <doi:10.1017/S0266466611000387> and Smeekes (2015) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12110> for key references.

Meta-analysis approaches for Phase I dose finding early phases clinical trials in order to better suit requirements in terms of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and maximal dose regimen (MDR). This package has currently three different approaches: (a) an approach proposed by Zohar et al, 2011, <doi:10.1002/sim.4121> (denoted as ZKO), (b) the Variance Weighted pooling analysis (called VarWT) and (c) the Random Effects Model Based (REMB) algorithm, where user can input his/her own model based approach or use the existing random effect logistic regression model (named as glimem) through the dfmeta package.

The EvoPER, Evolutionary Parameter Estimation for Individual-based Models is an extensible package providing optimization driven parameter estimation methods using metaheuristics and evolutionary computation techniques (Particle Swarm Optimization, Simulated Annealing, Ant Colony Optimization for continuous domains, Tabu Search, Evolutionary Strategies, ...) which could be more efficient and require, in some cases, fewer model evaluations than alternatives relying on experimental design. Currently there are built in support for models developed with Repast Simphony Agent-Based framework (<https://repast.github.io/>) and with NetLogo (<https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/>) which are the most used frameworks for Agent-based modeling.

Offers a pipe-friendly alternative to the dplyr functions case_when() and if_else(), as well as a number of user-friendly simplifications for common use cases. These functions accept a vector as an optional first argument, allowing conditional statements to be built using the magrittr dot operator. The functions also coerce all outputs to the same type, meaning you no longer have to worry about using specific typed variants of NA or explicitly declaring integer outputs, and evaluate outputs somewhat lazily, so you don't waste time on long operations that won't be used.

Simulate demand and attributes for ready to launch new products during their life cycle, or during their introduction and growth phases. You provide the number of products, attributes, time periods and/or other parameters and npdsim can simulate for you the demand for each product during the considered time periods, and the attributes of each product. The simulation for the demand is based on the idea that each product has a shape and a level, where the level is the cumulative demand over the considered time periods, and the shape is the normalized demand across those time periods.
