This package provides routines for the generation of response patterns under unidimensional dichotomous and polytomous computerized adaptive testing (CAT) framework. It holds many standard functions to estimate ability, select the first item(s) to administer and optimally select the next item, as well as several stopping rules. Options to control for item exposure and content balancing are also available (Magis and Barrada (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.c01>).

Based on Dutta et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.jempfin.2018.02.004>, this package provides their standardized test for abnormal returns in long-horizon event studies. The methods used improve the major weaknesses of size, power, and robustness of long-run statistical tests described in Kothari/Warner (2007) <doi:10.1016/B978-0-444-53265-7.50015-9>. Abnormal returns are weighted by their statistical precision (i.e., standard deviation), resulting in abnormal standardized returns. This procedure efficiently captures the heteroskedasticity problem. Clustering techniques following Cameron et al. (2011) <doi:10.1198/jbes.2010.07136> are adopted for computing cross-sectional correlation robust standard errors. The statistical tests in this package therefore accounts for potential biases arising from returns cross-sectional correlation, autocorrelation, and volatility clustering without power loss.

This package provides a collection of functions to pre-process amplification curve data from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or isothermal amplification reactions. Contains functions to normalize and baseline amplification curves, to detect both the start and end of an amplification reaction, several smoothers (e.g., LOWESS, moving average, cubic splines, Savitzky-Golay), a function to detect false positive amplification reactions and a function to determine the amplification efficiency. Quantification point (Cq) methods include the first (FDM) and second approximate derivative maximum (SDM) methods (calculated by a 5-point-stencil) and the cycle threshold method. Data sets of experimental nucleic acid amplification systems ('VideoScan HCU', capillary convective PCR (ccPCR)) and commercial systems are included. Amplification curves were generated by helicase dependent amplification (HDA), ccPCR or PCR. As detection system intercalating dyes (EvaGreen, SYBR Green) and hydrolysis probes (TaqMan) were used.

Computing comorbidity indices and scores such as the weighted Charlson score (Charlson, 1987 <doi:10.1016/0021-9681(87)90171-8>) and the Elixhauser comorbidity score (Elixhauser, 1998 <doi:10.1097/00005650-199801000-00004>) using ICD-9-CM or ICD-10 codes (Quan, 2005 <doi:10.1097/01.mlr.0000182534.19832.83>). Australian and Swedish modifications of the Charlson Comorbidity Index are available as well (Sundararajan, 2004 <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2004.03.012> and Ludvigsson, 2021 <doi:10.2147/CLEP.S282475>), together with different weighting algorithms for both the Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidity scores.

This package provides a flexible and robust joint test of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) main effect and genotype-by-treatment interaction effect for continuous and binary endpoints. Two analytic procedures, Cauchy weighted joint test (CWOT) and adaptively weighted joint test (AWOT), are proposed to accurately calculate the joint test p-value. The proposed methods are evaluated through extensive simulations under various scenarios. The results show that the proposed AWOT and CWOT control type I error well and outperform existing methods in detecting the most interesting signal patterns in pharmacogenetics (PGx) association studies.

Implementation of the Wilkinson and Ivany (2002) approach to paleoclimate analysis, applied to isotope data extracted from clams.

Uses a calibrated model fusion approach to optimally combine multiple surrogate markers. Specifically, two initial estimates of optimal composite scores of the markers are obtained; the optimal calibrated combination of the two estimated scores is then constructed which ensures both validity of the final combined score and optimality with respect to the proportion of treatment effect explained (PTE) by the final combined score. The primary function, pte.estimate.multiple(), estimates the PTE of the identified combination of multiple surrogate markers. Details are described in Wang et al (2022) <doi:10.1111/biom.13677>. A tutorial for the package is available at <https://www.laylaparast.com/cmfsurrogate> and a Shiny App is available at <https://parastlab.shinyapps.io/CMFsurrogateApp/>.

Under natural conditions, nest temperatures fluctuate daily around a mean value, whereas in captivity they are often held constant. The Constant Temperature Equivalent is designed to bridge the gap between the two by calculating a single temperature value for wild nests that corresponds with the amount of development that would occur in an incubator set to the same temperature. The theory and formulas behind this method were developed by Professor Author Georges and are implemented here as a single function.

The Certifiably Optimal RulE ListS (Corels) learner by Angelino et al described in <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1704.01701> provides interpretable decision rules with an optimality guarantee, and is made available to R with this package.

Building on top of the RcppArmadillo linear algebra functionalities to do fast spatial interaction models in the context of urban analytics, geography, transport modelling. It uses the Newton root search algorithm to determine the optimal cost exponent and can run country level models with thousands of origins and destinations. It aims at implementing an easy approach based on matrices, that can originate from various routing and processing steps earlier in an workflow. Currently, the simplest form of production, destination and doubly constrained models are implemented. Schlosser et al. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2309.02112>.

The inverted beta-binomial test is used for paired sample testing, e.g. pre-treatment and post-treatment data, by Pham and Jimenez (2012) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts394>.

Generate random numbers from the Cryptographically Secure Pseudorandom Number Generator (CSPRNG) provided by the underlying operating system. System CSPRNGs are seeded internally by the OS with entropy it gathers from the system hardware. The following system functions are used: arc4random_buf() on macOS and BSD; BCryptgenRandom() on Windows; Sys_getrandom() on Linux.

This package implements a specific form of segmented linear regression with two independent variables. The visualization of that function looks like a quarter segment of a cowbell giving the package its name. The package has been specifically constructed for the case where minimum and maximum value of the dependent and two independent variables are known a prior, which is usually the case when those values are derived from Likert scales.

Modeling periodic mortality (or other time-to event) processes from right-censored data. Given observations of a process with a known period (e.g. 365 days, 24 hours), functions determine the number, intensity, timing, and duration of peaks of periods of elevated hazard within a period. The underlying model is a mixed wrapped Cauchy function fitted using maximum likelihoods (details in Gurarie et al. (2020) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13305>). The development of these tools was motivated by the strongly seasonal mortality patterns observed in many wild animal populations. Thus, the respective periods of higher mortality can be identified as "mortality seasons".

Direct sparse covariance matrix estimation via the covariance graphical lasso by Bien, Tibshirani (2011) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asr054> using the fast coordinate descent algorithm of Wang (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11222-013-9385-5>.

We present corto (Correlation Tool), a simple package to infer gene regulatory networks and visualize master regulators from gene expression data using DPI (Data Processing Inequality) and bootstrapping to recover edges. An initial step is performed to calculate all significant edges between a list of source nodes (centroids) and target genes. Then all triplets containing two centroids and one target are tested in a DPI step which removes edges. A bootstrapping process then calculates the robustness of the network, eventually re-adding edges previously removed by DPI. The algorithm has been optimized to run outside a computing cluster, using a fast correlation implementation. The package finally provides functions to calculate network enrichment analysis from RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq signatures as described in the article by Giorgi lab (2020) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa223>.
