An implementation of regression models with partial differential regularizations, making use of the Finite Element Method. The models efficiently handle data distributed over irregularly shaped domains and can comply with various conditions at the boundaries of the domain. A priori information about the spatial structure of the phenomenon under study can be incorporated in the model via the differential regularization. See Sangalli, L. M. (2021) <doi:10.1111/insr.12444> "Spatial Regression With Partial Differential Equation Regularisation" for an overview. The release 1.1-9 requires R (>= 4.2.0) to be installed on windows machines.

Forensic applications of pedigree analysis, including likelihood ratios for relationship testing, general relatedness inference, marker simulation, and power analysis. forrel is part of the pedsuite', a collection of packages for pedigree analysis, further described in the book Pedigree Analysis in R (Vigeland, 2021, ISBN:9780128244302). Several functions deal specifically with power analysis in missing person cases, implementing methods described in Vigeland et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2020.102376>. Data import from the Familias software (Egeland et al. (2000) <doi:10.1016/S0379-0738(00)00147-X>) is supported through the pedFamilias package.

The number of clusters (k) is needed to start all the partitioning clustering algorithms. An optimal value of this input argument is widely determined by using some internal validity indices. Since most of the existing internal indices suggest a k value which is computed from the clustering results after several runs of a clustering algorithm they are computationally expensive. On the contrary, the package kpeaks enables to estimate k before running any clustering algorithm. It is based on a simple novel technique using the descriptive statistics of peak counts of the features in a data set.

Implementation of several phenotype-based family genetic risk scores with unified input data and data preparation functions to help facilitate the required data preparation and management. The implemented family genetic risk scores are the extended liability threshold model conditional on family history from Pedersen (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2022.01.009> and Pedersen (2023) <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41210-z>, Pearson-Aitken Family Genetic Risk Scores from Krebs (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2024.09.009>, and family genetic risk score from Kendler (2021) <doi:10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2021.0336>.

Sharing statistical methods or simulation frameworks through shiny applications often requires workflows for handling data. To help save and display simulation results, the postgresUI() and postgresServer() functions in mmints help with persistent data storage using a PostgreSQL database. The mmints package also offers data upload functionality through the csvUploadUI() and csvUploadServer() functions which allow users to upload data, view variables and their types, and edit variable types before fitting statistical models within the shiny application. These tools aim to enhance efficiency and user interaction in shiny based statistical and simulation applications.

This package implements generalized maximum entropy estimation for linear regression, kink regression, and smooth transition kink regression models. The approach represents unknown parameters and disturbances as probability distributions over discrete support spaces and estimates them by maximizing entropy subject to model constraints. It is particularly suited to ill-posed problems and does not require distributional assumptions on the error term. The methods have been applied in empirical studies such as Tarkhamtham and Yamaka (2019) <https://thaijmath.com/index.php/thaijmath/article/view/867/870> and Maneejuk, Yamaka, and Sriboonchitta (2022) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2020.1836214>.

Estimates exponential-family random graph models for multilevel network data, assuming the multilevel structure is observed. The scope, at present, covers multilevel models where the set of nodes is nested within known blocks. The estimation method uses Monte-Carlo maximum likelihood estimation (MCMLE) methods to estimate a variety of canonical or curved exponential family models for binary random graphs. MCMLE methods for curved exponential-family random graph models can be found in Hunter and Handcock (JCGS, 2006). The package supports parallel computing, and provides methods for assessing goodness-of-fit of models and visualization of networks.

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>.

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>.

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 a collection of matrix functions for teaching and learning matrix linear algebra as used in multivariate statistical methods. Many of these functions are designed for tutorial purposes in learning matrix algebra ideas using R. In some cases, functions are provided for concepts available elsewhere in R, but where the function call or name is not obvious. In other cases, functions are provided to show or demonstrate an algorithm. In addition, a collection of functions are provided for drawing vector diagrams in 2D and 3D and for rendering matrix expressions and equations in LaTeX.

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).

This package provides access to large-scale genomics data from the South Dakota State University's bioinformatics database, a unified platform for pathway analysis of over 13,000 organisms. It includes various gene mappings, gene characteristics, and pathway mapping data from KEGG, GOBP, GOCC, and many more pathway databases. Also provides various helper functions for processing RNA-Seq data for differential expression analysis and pathway enrichment analysis, occasionally sourced from code from Integrated Differential Expression & Pathway analysis (iDEP), developed by Ge, S.X., Son, E.W. & Yao, R. (2018) <doi:10.1186/s12859-018-2486-6>.

Simulates time-to-event (survival) datasets for clinical trial design and analysis using ordinary differential equation (ODE) models solved via the mrgsolve backend. Built-in Weibull and flexible M-spline baseline hazard models are provided out of the box, and fully bespoke hazard models can be implemented as custom mrgsolve ODE systems. Event times are generated by inverse transform sampling from the resulting cumulative hazard functions. See Bender et al. (2005) <doi:10.1002/sim.2059> for the inverse transform sampling methodology and Royston and Parmar (2002) <doi:10.1002/sim.1203> for flexible parametric survival models.

MetNet contains functionality to infer metabolic network topologies from quantitative data and high-resolution mass/charge information. Using statistical models (including correlation, mutual information, regression and Bayes statistics) and quantitative data (intensity values of features) adjacency matrices are inferred that can be combined to a consensus matrix. Mass differences calculated between mass/charge values of features will be matched against a data frame of supplied mass/charge differences referring to transformations of enzymatic activities. In a third step, the two levels of information are combined to form a adjacency matrix inferred from both quantitative and structure information.
