The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms are pivotal in characterizing adsorption processes, essential across various scientific disciplines. Proper interpretation of adsorption isotherms involves robust fitting of data to the models, accurate estimation of parameters, and efficiency evaluation of the models, both in linear and non-linear forms. For researchers and practitioners in the fields of chemistry, environmental science, soil science, and engineering, a comprehensive package that satisfies all these requirements would be ideal for accurate and efficient analysis of adsorption data, precise model selection and validation for rigorous scientific inquiry and real-world applications. Details can be found in Langmuir (1918) <doi:10.1021/ja02242a004> and Giles (1973) <doi:10.1111/j.1478-4408.1973.tb03158.x>.

This package provides functions for estimating plant pathogen parameters from access period (AP) experiments. Separate functions are implemented for semi-persistently transmitted (SPT) and persistently transmitted (PT) pathogens. The common AP experiment exposes insect cohorts to infected source plants, healthy test plants, and intermediate plants (for PT pathogens). The package allows estimation of acquisition and inoculation rates during feeding, recovery rates, and latent progression rates (for PT pathogens). Additional functions support inference of epidemic risk from pathogen and local parameters, and also simulate AP experiment data. The functions implement probability models for epidemiological analysis, as derived in Donnelly et al. (2025), <doi:10.32942/X29K9P>. These models were originally implemented in the EpiPv GitHub package.

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. Also implements extended TWFE (etwfe) and bridge-penalized ETWFE (betwfe). Provides S3 classes for streamlined workflow and supports flexible tuning (ridge and rank-condition guarantees), automatic covariate centering/scaling, and detailed overall and cohort-specific effect estimates with valid standard errors. Includes simulation and formatting utilities, extensive diagnostic tools, vignettes, and examples. See Faletto (2025) (<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.05985>).

This package provides a model building procedure to build parsimonious geoadditive model from a large number of covariates. Continuous, binary and ordered categorical responses are supported. The model building is based on component wise gradient boosting with linear effects, smoothing splines and a smooth spatial surface to model spatial autocorrelation. The resulting covariate set after gradient boosting is further reduced through backward elimination and aggregation of factor levels. The package provides a model based bootstrap method to simulate prediction intervals for point predictions. A test data set of a soil mapping case study in Berne (Switzerland) is provided. Nussbaum, M., Walthert, L., Fraefel, M., Greiner, L., and Papritz, A. (2017) <doi:10.5194/soil-3-191-2017>.

This package provides an interface to the Maxar Geospatial Platform (MGP) Application Programming Interface. <https://www.maxar.com/maxar-geospatial-platform> It facilitates imagery searches using the MGP Streaming Application Programming Interface via the Web Feature Service (WFS) method, and supports image downloads through Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) methods. Additionally, it integrates with the Maxar Geospatial Platform Basemaps Application Programming Interface for accessing Maxar basemaps imagery and seamlines. The package also offers seamless integration with the Maxar Geospatial Platform Discovery Application Programming Interface, allowing users to search, filter, and sort Maxar content, while retrieving detailed metadata in formats like SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) and GeoJSON.

Medication adherence, defined as medication-taking behavior that aligns with the agreed-upon treatment protocol, is critical for realizing the benefits of prescription medications. Medication adherence can be assessed using electronic adherence monitoring devices (EAMDs), pill bottles or boxes that contain a computer chip that records the date and time of each opening (or â actuationâ ). Before researchers can use EAMD data, they must apply a series of decision rules to transform actuation data into adherence data. The purpose of this R package ('oncmap') is to transform EAMD actuations in the form of a raw .csv file, information about the patient, regimen, and non-monitored periods into two daily adherence values -- Dose Taken and Correct Dose Taken.

cogena is a workflow for co-expressed gene-set enrichment analysis. It aims to discovery smaller scale, but highly correlated cellular events that may be of great biological relevance. A novel pipeline for drug discovery and drug repositioning based on the cogena workflow is proposed. Particularly, candidate drugs can be predicted based on the gene expression of disease-related data, or other similar drugs can be identified based on the gene expression of drug-related data. Moreover, the drug mode of action can be disclosed by the associated pathway analysis. In summary, cogena is a flexible workflow for various gene set enrichment analysis for co-expressed genes, with a focus on pathway/GO analysis and drug repositioning.

TaxSEA is an R package for Taxon Set Enrichment Analysis, which utilises a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test analyses to investigate differential abundance analysis output for whether there are alternations in a-priori defined sets of taxa from five previously published databases (BugSigDB, MiMeDB, GutMGene, mBodyMap and GMRepoV2). TaxSEA takes as input a list of taxonomic identifiers (e.g. species names, NCBI IDs etc.) and a rank (E.g. fold change, correlation coefficient). TaxSEA be applied to any microbiota taxonomic profiling technology (array-based, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun metagenomics & metatranscriptomics etc.) and enables researchers to rapidly contextualize their findings within the broader literature to accelerate interpretation of results.

Bayesian optimal design with futility and efficacy stopping boundaries (BOP2-FE) is a novel statistical framework for single-arm Phase II clinical trials. It enables early termination for efficacy when interim data are promising, while explicitly controlling Type I and Type II error rates. The design supports a variety of endpoint structures, including single binary endpoints, nested endpoints, co-primary endpoints, and joint monitoring of efficacy and toxicity. The package provides tools for enumerating stopping boundaries prior to trial initiation and for conducting simulation studies to evaluate the designâ s operating characteristics. Users can flexibly specify design parameters to suit their specific applications. For methodological details, refer to Xu et al. (2025) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2025.2558142>.

Implementation of network integration approaches comprising unweighted and weighted integration methods. Unweighted integration is performed considering the average, per-edge average, maximum and minimum of networks edges. Weighted integration takes into account a weight for each network during the fusion process, where the weights express the predictiveness strength of each network considering a specific predictive task. Weights can be learned using a machine learning algorithm able to associate the weights to the assessment of the accuracy of the learning algorithm trained on the network itself. The implemented methods can be applied to effectively integrate different biological networks modelling a wide range of problems in bioinformatics (e.g. disease gene prioritization, protein function prediction, drug repurposing, clinical outcome prediction).

This package provides a low-level package for hosting persistence data. It is part of the TDAverse suite of packages, which is designed to provide a collection of packages for enabling machine learning and data science tasks using persistent homology. Implements a class for hosting persistence data, a number of coercers from and to already existing and used data structures from other packages and functions to compute distances between persistence diagrams. A formal definition and study of bottleneck and Wasserstein distances can be found in Bubenik, Scott and Stanley (2023) <doi:10.1007/s41468-022-00103-8>. Their implementation in phutil relies on the C++ Hera library developed by Kerber, Morozov and Nigmetov (2017) <doi:10.1145/3064175>.

This is an R implementation of Fast and Scalable Learning of Sparse Changes in High-Dimensional Gaussian Graphical Model Structure (DIFFEE). The DIFFEE algorithm can be used to fast estimate the differential network between two related datasets. For instance, it can identify differential gene network from datasets of case and control. By performing data-driven network inference from two high-dimensional data sets, this tool can help users effectively translate two aggregated data blocks into knowledge of the changes among entities between two Gaussian Graphical Model. Please run demo(diffeeDemo) to learn the basic functions provided by this package. For further details, please read the original paper: Beilun Wang, Arshdeep Sekhon, Yanjun Qi (2018) <arXiv:1710.11223>.

This package provides a user-friendly interface, using Shiny, to analyse glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assays in pancreatic beta cells or islets. The package allows the user to import several sets of experiments from different spreadsheets and to perform subsequent steps: summarise in a tidy format, visualise data quality and compare experimental conditions without omitting to account for technical confounders such as the date of the experiment or the technician. Together, insane is a comprehensive method that optimises pre-processing and analyses of GSIS experiments in a friendly-user interface. The Shiny App was initially designed for EndoC-betaH1 cell line following method described in Ndiaye et al., 2017 (<doi:10.1016/j.molmet.2017.03.011>).

The Clinical Trials Network (CTN) of the U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse sponsored the CTN-0094 research team to harmonize data sets from three nationally-representative clinical trials for opioid use disorder (OUD). The CTN-0094 team herein provides a coded collection of trial outcomes and endpoints used in various OUD clinical trials over the past 50 years. These coded outcome functions are used to contrast and cluster different clinical outcome functions based on daily or weekly patient urine screenings. Note that we abbreviate urine drug screen as "UDS" and urine opioid screen as "UOS". For the example data sets (based on clinical trials data harmonized by the CTN-0094 research team), UDS and UOS are largely interchangeable.

Check your R code for some of the most common layout flaws. Many tried to teach us how to write code less dreadful, be it implicitly as B. W. Kernighan and D. M. Ritchie (1988) <ISBN:0-13-110362-8> in The C Programming Language did, be it explicitly as R.C. Martin (2008) <ISBN:0-13-235088-2> in Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship did. So we should check our code for files too long or wide, functions with too many lines, too wide lines, too many arguments or too many levels of nesting. Note: This is not a static code analyzer like pylint or the like. Checkout <https://cran.r-project.org/package=lintr> instead.

Utilities to read and write files in the FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format, a standard format in astronomy (see e.g. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FITS> for more information). Present low-level routines allow: reading, parsing, and modifying FITS headers; reading FITS images (multi-dimensional arrays); reading FITS binary and ASCII tables; and writing FITS images (multi-dimensional arrays). Higher-level functions allow: reading files composed of one or more headers and a single (perhaps multidimensional) image or single table; reading tables into data frames; generating vectors for image array axes; scaling and writing images as 16-bit integers. Known incompletenesses are reading random group extensions, as well as complex and array descriptor data types in binary tables.

Models for non-linear time series analysis and causality detection. The main functionalities of this package consist of an implementation of the classical causality test (C.W.J.Granger 1980) <doi:10.1016/0165-1889(80)90069-X>, and a non-linear version of it based on feed-forward neural networks. This package contains also an implementation of the Transfer Entropy <doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.461>, and the continuous Transfer Entropy using an approximation based on the k-nearest neighbors <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.69.066138>. There are also some other useful tools, like the VARNN (Vector Auto-Regressive Neural Network) prediction model, the Augmented test of stationarity, and the discrete and continuous entropy and mutual information.

Fits by ABC, the parameters of a stochastic process modelling the phylogeny and evolution of a suite of traits following the tree. The user may define an arbitrary Markov process for the trait and phylogeny. Importantly, trait-dependent speciation models are handled and fitted to data. See K. Bartoszek, P. Lio (2019) <doi:10.5506/APhysPolBSupp.12.25>. The suggested geiger package can be obtained from CRAN's archive <https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/geiger/>, suggested to take latest version. Otherwise its required code is present in the pcmabc package. The suggested distory package can be obtained from CRAN's archive <https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/distory/>, suggested to take latest version.

This package implements a spatiotemporal boundary detection model with a dissimilarity metric for areal data with inference in a Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The response variable can be modeled as Gaussian (no nugget), probit or Tobit link and spatial correlation is introduced at each time point through a conditional autoregressive (CAR) prior. Temporal correlation is introduced through a hierarchical structure and can be specified as exponential or first-order autoregressive. Full details of the package can be found in the accompanying vignette. Furthermore, the details of the package can be found in "Diagnosing Glaucoma Progression with Visual Field Data Using a Spatiotemporal Boundary Detection Method", by Berchuck et al (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1537911>.

The creation of effective visualizations is a fundamental component of data analysis. In biomedical research, new challenges are emerging to visualize multi-dimensional data in a 2D space, but current data visualization tools have limited capabilities. To address this problem, we leverage Gestalt principles to improve the design and interpretability of multi-dimensional data in 2D data visualizations, layering aesthetics to display multiple variables. The proposed visualization can be applied to spatially-resolved transcriptomics data, but also broadly to data visualized in 2D space, such as embedding visualizations. We provide this open source R package escheR, which is built off of the state-of-the-art ggplot2 visualization framework and can be seamlessly integrated into genomics toolboxes and workflows.
