This package contains functions for mapping odds ratios, hazard ratios, or other effect estimates using individual-level data such as case-control study data, using generalized additive models (GAMs) or Cox models for smoothing with a two-dimensional predictor (e.g., geolocation or exposure to chemical mixtures) while adjusting linearly for confounding variables, using methods described by Kelsall and Diggle (1998), Webster at al. (2006), and Bai et al. (2020). Includes convenient functions for mapping point estimates and confidence intervals, efficient control sampling, and permutation tests for the null hypothesis that the two-dimensional predictor is not associated with the outcome variable (adjusting for confounders).

This package provides computational tools for nonlinear longitudinal models, in particular the intrinsically nonlinear models, in four scenarios: (1) univariate longitudinal processes with growth factors, with or without covariates including time-invariant covariates (TICs) and time-varying covariates (TVCs); (2) multivariate longitudinal processes that facilitate the assessment of correlation or causation between multiple longitudinal variables; (3) multiple-group models for scenarios (1) and (2) to evaluate differences among manifested groups, and (4) longitudinal mixture models for scenarios (1) and (2), with an assumption that trajectories are from multiple latent classes. The methods implemented are introduced in Liu (2025) <doi:10.3758/s13428-025-02596-4>.

Improves genotype inference and downstream Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire Sequence data analysis. Inference of allele similarity clusters, an alternative naming scheme and genotype inference for immunoglobulin heavy chain repertoires. The main tools are allele similarity clusters, and allele based genotype. The first tool is designed to reduce the ambiguity within the immunoglobulin heavy chain V alleles. The ambiguity is caused by duplicated or similar alleles which are shared among different genes. The second tool is an allele based genotype, that determined the presence of an allele based on a threshold derived from a naive population. See Peres et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkad603>.

Enables computation of epidemiological statistics, including those where counts or mortality rates of the reference population are used. Currently supported: excess hazard models (Dickman, Sloggett, Hills, and Hakulinen (2012) <doi:10.1002/sim.1597>), rates, mean survival times, relative/net survival (in particular the Ederer II (Ederer and Heise (1959)) and Pohar Perme (Pohar Perme, Stare, and Esteve (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01640.x>) estimators), and standardized incidence and mortality ratios, all of which can be easily adjusted for by covariates such as age. Fast splitting and aggregation of Lexis objects (from package Epi') and other computations achieved using data.table'.

The Model Disability Survey (MDS) <https://www.who.int/activities/collection-of-data-on-disability> is a World Health Organization (WHO) general population survey instrument to assess the distribution of disability within a country or region, grounded in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health <https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/international-classification-of-functioning-disability-and-health>. This package provides fit-for-purpose functions for calculating and presenting the results from this survey, as used by the WHO. The package primarily provides functions for implementing Rasch Analysis (see Andrich (2011) <doi:10.1586/erp.11.59>) to calculate a metric scale for disability.

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 density, EM, and censored EM version (Bartoš & Schimmack, 2022, <doi:10.15626/MP.2021.2720>; Schimmack & Bartoš, 2023, <doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0290084>), 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 implements `import()` and `export()` standard generics for importing and exporting biological data formats. `import()` supports whole-file as well as chunk-wise iterative import. The `import()` interface optionally provides a standard mechanism for 'lazy' access via `filter()` (on row or element-like components of the file resource), `select()` (on column-like components of the file resource) and `collect()`. The `import()` interface optionally provides transparent access to remote (e.g. via https) as well as local access. Developers can register a file extension, e.g., `.loom` for dispatch from character-based URIs to specific `import()` / `export()` methods based on classes representing file types, e.g., `LoomFile()`.

Parallel Constraint Satisfaction (PCS) models are an increasingly common class of models in Psychology, with applications to reading and word recognition (McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981; \doi10.1037/0033-295X.88.5.375), judgment and decision making (Glöckner & Betsch, 2008 \doi10.1017/S1930297500002424; Glöckner, Hilbig, & Jekel, 2014 \doi10.1016/j.cognition.2014.08.017), and several other fields. In each of these fields, they provide a quantitative model of psychological phenomena, with precise predictions regarding choice probabilities, decision times, and often the degree of confidence. This package provides the necessary functions to create and simulate basic Parallel Constraint Satisfaction networks within R.

The main attribute of PopVar is the prediction of genetic variance in bi-parental populations, from which the package derives its name. PopVar contains a set of functions that use phenotypic and genotypic data from a set of candidate parents to 1) predict the mean, genetic variance, and superior progeny value of all, or a defined set of pairwise bi-parental crosses, and 2) perform cross-validation to estimate genome-wide prediction accuracy of multiple statistical models. More details are available in Mohammadi, Tiede, and Smith (2015, <doi:10.2135/cropsci2015.01.0030>). A dataset think_barley.rda is included for reference and examples.

The purpose of this package is to provide a lightweight and unified Future API for sequential and parallel processing of R expression via futures. This package implements sequential, multicore, multisession, and cluster futures. With these, R expressions can be evaluated on the local machine, in parallel a set of local machines, or distributed on a mix of local and remote machines. Extensions to this package implement additional backends for processing futures via compute cluster schedulers etc. Because of its unified API, there is no need to modify any code in order to switch from sequential on the local machine to, say, distributed processing on a remote compute cluster.

This package enables the detection of driver chromosomal imbalances including loss of heterozygosity (LOH) from array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data. VegaMC performs a joint segmentation of a dataset and uses a statistical framework to distinguish between driver and passenger mutation. VegaMC has been implemented so that it can be immediately integrated with the output produced by PennCNV tool. In addition, VegaMC produces in output two web pages that allows a rapid navigation between both the detected regions and the altered genes. In the web page that summarizes the altered genes, the link to the respective Ensembl gene web page is reported.

All datasets and functions required for the examples and exercises of the book "Data Science for Psychologists" (by Hansjoerg Neth, Konstanz University, 2025, <doi:10.5281/zenodo.7229812>), freely available at <https://bookdown.org/hneth/ds4psy/>. The book and corresponding courses introduce principles and methods of data science to students of psychology and other biological or social sciences. The ds4psy package primarily provides datasets, but also functions for data generation and manipulation (e.g., of text and time data) and graphics that are used in the book and its exercises. All functions included in ds4psy are designed to be explicit and instructive, rather than efficient or elegant.

Diagnostics for linear L1 regression (also known as LAD - Least Absolute Deviations), including: estimation, confidence intervals, tests of hypotheses, measures of leverage, methods of diagnostics for L1 regression, special diagnostics graphs and measures of leverage. The algorithms are based in Dielman (2005) <doi:10.1080/0094965042000223680>, Elian et al. (2000) <doi:10.1080/03610920008832518> and Dodge (1997) <doi:10.1006/jmva.1997.1666>. This package builds on the quantreg package, which is a well-established package for tuning quantile regression models. There are also tests to verify if the errors have a Laplace distribution based on the work of Puig and Stephens (2000) <doi:10.2307/1270952>.

This package performs emulation of dynamic simulators using Gaussian process via one-step ahead approach. The package implements a flexible framework for approximating time-dependent outputs from computationally expensive dynamic systems. It is specifically designed for nonlinear dynamic systems where full simulations may be costly. The underlying Gaussian process model accounts for temporal dependency through the one-step-ahead formulation, allowing for accurate emulation of complex dynamics. Hyperparameters are estimated via maximum likelihood. For methodological details, see Heo (2025, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.20250>) for exact method, and Mohammadi, Challenor, and Goodfellow (2019, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2019.05.006>) for Monte Carlo method.

The social network literature features numerous methods for assigning value to paths as a function of their ties. gretel systemizes these approaches, casting them as instances of a generalized path value function indexed by a penalty parameter. The package also calculates probabilistic path value and identifies optimal paths in either value framework. Finally, proximity matrices can be generated in these frameworks that capture high-order connections overlooked in primitive adjacency sociomatrices. Novel methods are described in Buch (2019) <https://davidbuch.github.io/analyzing-networks-with-gretel.html>. More traditional methods are also implemented, as described in Yang, Knoke (2001) <doi:10.1016/S0378-8733(01)00043-0>.
