It offers comprehensive tools for the analysis of functional time series data, focusing on white noise hypothesis testing and goodness-of-fit evaluations, alongside functions for simulating data and advanced visualization techniques, such as 3D rainbow plots. These methods are described in Kokoszka, Rice, and Shang (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2017.08.004>, Yeh, Rice, and Dubin (2023) <doi:10.1214/23-EJS2112>, Kim, Kokoszka, and Rice (2023) <doi:10.1214/23-ss143>, and Rice, Wirjanto, and Zhao (2020) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12532>.

This package implements a variational Expectation-Maximization (VEM) algorithm for smoothing one or multiple functional observations via basis function selection. The algorithm estimates all model parameters simultaneously and automatically, while accounting for within-curve correlation. The approach provides a flexible and computationally efficient framework for smoothing correlated functional data. The algorithm is described in da Cruz, A. C., de Souza, C. P., and Sousa, P. H. (2024). Fast Bayesian basis selection for functional data representation with correlated errors. <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2405.20758>.

Imputing blockwise missing data by imprecise imputation, featuring a domain-based, variable-wise, and case-wise strategy. Furthermore, the estimation of lower and upper bounds for unconditional and conditional probabilities based on the obtained imprecise data is implemented. Additionally, two utility functions are supplied: one to check whether variables in a data set contain set-valued observations; and another to merge two already imprecisely imputed data. The method is described in a technical report by Endres, Fink and Augustin (2018, <doi:10.5282/ubm/epub.42423>).

This package provides functions to perform all steps of genome-wide association meta-analysis for studying Genotype x Environment interactions, from collecting the data to the manhattan plot. The procedure accounts for the potential correlation between studies. In addition to the Fixed and Random models, one can investigate the relationship between QTL effects and some qualitative or quantitative covariate via the test of contrast and the meta-regression, respectively. The methodology is available from: (De Walsche, A., et al. (2025) \doi10.1371/journal.pgen.1011553).

This package provides a minimal-dependency client for the Matrix Client-Server HTTP API <https://spec.matrix.org/>, suitable for talking to a Synapse <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/> or Conduit <https://conduit.rs/> homeserver. Covers login, room management, message send and history, media upload or download, and the transport endpoints needed to coordinate end-to-end encryption (device-key and one-time-key publication, key query and claim, to-device events). Encryption itself is out of scope; pair with a separate crypto package.

PHATE is a tool for visualizing high dimensional single-cell data with natural progressions or trajectories. PHATE uses a novel conceptual framework for learning and visualizing the manifold inherent to biological systems in which smooth transitions mark the progressions of cells from one state to another. To see how PHATE can be applied to single-cell RNA-seq datasets from hematopoietic stem cells, human embryonic stem cells, and bone marrow samples, check out our publication in Nature Biotechnology at <doi:10.1038/s41587-019-0336-3>.

This package provides a system to increase the efficiency of dynamic web-scraping with RSelenium by leveraging parallel processing. You provide a function wrapper for your RSelenium scraping routine with a set of inputs, and parsel runs it in several browser instances. Chunked input processing as well as error catching and logging ensures seamless execution and minimal data loss, even when unforeseen RSelenium errors occur. You can additionally build safe scraping functions with minimal coding by utilizing constructor functions that act as wrappers around RSelenium methods.

The main feature of this package are modular functions which can be combined through the namesake pipeline, runtoxdrc', to automate the analysis for large and complex datasets. This includes optional data preprocessing steps, like outlier detection, solvent effects, blank correction, averaging technical replicates, and much more. Additionally, this pipeline is adaptable to any long form dataset, and does not require specific column or group naming to work.

Time series outlier detection with non parametric test. This is a new outlier detection methodology (washer): efficient for time saving elaboration and implementation procedures, adaptable for general assumptions and for needing very short time series, reliable and effective as involving robust non parametric test. You can find two approaches: single time series (a vector) and grouped time series (a data frame). For other informations: Andrea Venturini (2011) Statistica - Universita di Bologna, Vol.71, pp.329-344. For an informal explanation look at R-bloggers on web.

This package provides tools to compute ordinal, statistics and effect sizes as an alternative to mean comparison: Cliff's delta or success rate difference (SRD), Vargha and Delaney's A or the Area Under a Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC), the discrete type of McGraw & Wong's Common Language Effect Size (CLES) or Grissom & Kim's Probability of Superiority (PS), and the Number needed to treat (NNT) effect size. Moreover, comparisons to Cohen's d are offered based on Huberty & Lowman's Percentage of Group (Non-)Overlap considerations.

Indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) represents an early intermediate of the biosynthesis of a variety of indolic secondary metabolites including the phytoanticipin indol-3-ylmethyl glucosinolate and the phytoalexin camalexin (3-thiazol-2'-yl-indole). Arabidopsis thaliana cyp79B2 cyp79B3 double knockout plants are completely impaired in the conversion of tryptophan to indole-3-acetaldoxime and do not accumulate IAOx-derived metabolites any longer. Consequently, comparative analysis of wild-type and cyp79B2 cyp79B3 plant lines has the potential to explore the complete range of IAOx-derived indolic secondary metabolites.

SPICEY (SPecificity Index for Coding and Epigenetic activitY) is an R package designed to quantify cell-type specificity in single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic data, particularly scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq. It introduces two complementary indices: the Gene Expression Tissue Specificity Index (GETSI) and the Regulatory Element Tissue Specificity Index (RETSI), both based on entropy to provide continuous, interpretable measures of specificity. By integrating gene expression and chromatin accessibility, SPICEY enables standardized analysis of cell-type-specific regulatory programs across diverse tissues and conditions.

Automatic normalisation of a data frame to third normal form, with the intention of easing the process of data cleaning. (Usage to design your actual database for you is not advised.) Originally inspired by the AutoNormalize library for Python by Alteryx (<https://github.com/alteryx/autonormalize>), with various changes and improvements. Automatic discovery of functional or approximate dependencies, normalisation based on those, and plotting of the resulting "database" via Graphviz', with options to exclude some attributes at discovery time, or remove discovered dependencies at normalisation time.

Generates Monte Carlo confidence intervals for standardized regression coefficients (beta) and other effect sizes, including multiple correlation, semipartial correlations, improvement in R-squared, squared partial correlations, and differences in standardized regression coefficients, for models fitted by lm(). betaMC combines ideas from Monte Carlo confidence intervals for the indirect effect (Pesigan and Cheung, 2024 <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02114-4>) and the sampling covariance matrix of regression coefficients (Dudgeon, 2017 <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9563-z>) to generate confidence intervals effect sizes in regression.

Reproducibly classifies occurrence records into biome classes using 31 published global terrestrial biome schemes compiled by Fischer and colleagues (2022) <doi:10.1111/geb.13574>, provided as harmonised raster layers at 10x10 km resolution globally. Includes functions to choose the most suitable biome scheme for a dataset by a data-driven ranking, to classify occurrence records, and to tabulate and visualise the result. Works with user-provided occurrences or a taxon name, in which case occurrences are downloaded from GBIF (<https://www.gbif.org>) and cleaned automatically.

This package provides a general framework using mixture Weibull distributions to accurately predict biomarker-guided trial duration accounting for heterogeneous population. Extensive simulations are performed to evaluate the impact of heterogeneous population and the dynamics of biomarker characteristics and disease on the study duration. Several influential parameters including median survival time, enrollment rate, biomarker prevalence and effect size are identified. Efficiency gains of biomarker-guided trials can be quantitatively compared to the traditional all-comers design. For reference, see Zhang et al. (2024) <arXiv:2401.00540>.

Helper functions to standardizes common workflows in the USGS Data Science Community of Practice to produce more robust, reproducible pipelines. It contains helper functions to standardize (1) the organization of project repositories and (2) the creation ofpipelines from the targets R Package (Landau et al. (2026) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.18555866>), using the DS CoP best practices. We draw upon community developed best practices as well as certain USGS-specific requirements. See Shrycock et al. (2023) <doi:10.3133/tm7B2> for examples of these USGS requirements.

This package creates a non-negative low-rank approximate factorization of a sparse counts matrix by maximizing Poisson likelihood with L1/L2 regularization (e.g. for implicit-feedback recommender systems or bag-of-words-based topic modeling) (Cortes, (2018) <arXiv:1811.01908>), which usually leads to very sparse user and item factors (over 90% zero-valued). Similar to hierarchical Poisson factorization (HPF), but follows an optimization-based approach with regularization instead of a hierarchical prior, and is fit through gradient-based methods instead of variational inference.

Set the R prompt dynamically, from a function. The package contains some examples to include various useful dynamic information in the prompt: the status of the last command (success or failure); the amount of memory allocated by the current R process; the name of the R package(s) loaded by pkgload and/or devtools'; various git information: the name of the active branch, whether it is dirty, if it needs pushes pulls. You can also create your own prompt if you don't like the predefined examples.

This package provides a computational framework for identification of B cell clones from Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire sequencing (AIRR-Seq) data. Three main functions are included (identicalClones, hierarchicalClones, and spectralClones) that perform clustering among sequences of BCRs/IGs (B cell receptors/immunoglobulins) which share the same V gene, J gene and junction length. Nouri N and Kleinstein SH (2018) <doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty235>. Nouri N and Kleinstein SH (2019) <doi: 10.1101/788620>. Gupta NT, et al. (2017) <doi: 10.4049/jimmunol.1601850>.

This package provides a modular package for simulating phylogenetic trees and species traits jointly. Trees can be simulated using modular birth-death parameters (e.g. changing starting parameters or algorithm rules). Traits can be simulated in any way designed by the user. The growth of the tree and the traits can influence each other through modifiers objects providing rules for affecting each other. Finally, events can be created to modify both the tree and the traits under specific conditions ( Guillerme, 2024 <DOI:10.1111/2041-210X.14306>).
