This package contains a single function dclust() for divisive hierarchical clustering based on recursive k-means partitioning (k = 2). Useful for clustering large datasets where computation of a n x n distance matrix is not feasible (e.g. n > 10,000 records). For further information see Steinbach, Karypis and Kumar (2000) <http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fetch/papers/docclusterKDDTMW00.pdf>.

Automatic generation of finite state machine models of dynamic decision-making that both have strong predictive power and are interpretable in human terms. We use an efficient model representation and a genetic algorithm-based estimation process to generate simple deterministic approximations that explain most of the structure of complex stochastic processes. We have applied the software to empirical data, and demonstrated it's ability to recover known data-generating processes by simulating data with agent-based models and correctly deriving the underlying decision models for multiple agent models and degrees of stochasticity.

This package provides a collection of functions to perform Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) and Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis (DCCA). This package implements the results presented in Prass, T.S. and Pumi, G. (2019). "On the behavior of the DFA and DCCA in trend-stationary processes" <arXiv:1910.10589>.

This package provides tools for wrapping DataSHIELD analyses into RO-Crate (Research Object Crate) objects. Provides functions to create structured metadata for federated data analysis projects, enabling governance tracking of data access, project membership, analysis execution and output validation across distributed data sources.

Consider ambiguity in probabilistic descriptions by replacing a parametric probabilistic description of uncertainty by a non-parametric set of probability distributions in the form of a Density Ratio Class. This is of particular interest in Bayesian inference. The Density Ratio Class is particularly suited for this purpose as it is invariant under Bayesian inference, marginalization, and propagation through a deterministic model. Here, invariant means that the result of the operation applied to a Density Ratio Class is again a Density Ratio Class. In particular the invariance under Bayesian inference thus enables iterative learning within the same framework of Density Ratio Classes. The use of imprecise probabilities in general, and Density Ratio Classes in particular, lead to intervals of characteristics of probability distributions, such as cumulative distribution functions, quantiles, and means. The package is based on a sample of the distribution proportional to the upper bound of the class. Typically this will be a sample from the posterior in Bayesian inference. Based on such a sample, the package provides functions to calculate lower and upper class boundaries and lower and upper bounds of cumulative distribution functions, and quantiles.

Analysis, visualisation and simulation of digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) (Burdukiewicz et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.bdq.2016.06.004>). Supports data formats of commercial systems (Bio-Rad QX100 and QX200; Fluidigm BioMark) and other systems.

This package implements survival proximity score matching in multi-state survival models. Includes tools for simulating survival data and estimating transition-specific coxph models with frailty terms. The primary methodological work on multistate censored data modeling using propensity score matching has been published by Bhattacharjee et al.(2024) <doi:10.1038/s41598-024-54149-y>.

This package provides functions for the calculation and plotting of synchrony in tree growth from tree-ring width chronologies (TRW index). It combines variance-covariance (VCOV) mixed modelling with functions that quantify the degree to which the TRW chronologies contain a common temporal signal. It also implements temporal trends in spatial synchrony using a moving window. These methods can also be used with other kind of ecological variables that have temporal autocorrelation corrected.

Evaluate the presence of disposition effect and others irrational investor's behaviors based solely on investor's transactions and financial market data. Experimental data can also be used to perform the analysis. Four different methodologies are implemented to account for the different nature of human behaviors on financial markets. Novel analyses such as portfolio driven and time series disposition effect are also allowed.

S4 classes around infrastructure provided by the coda and dclone packages to make package development easy as a breeze with data cloning for hierarchical models.

This package provides robustness checks to align estimands with the identification that they require. Given a dagitty object and a model specification, DAGassist classifies variables by causal roles, recovers a target estimand, and generates a report comparing the original model with DAG-derived adjustment sets. Exports publication-grade reports in LaTeX', Word', Excel', dotwhisker', or plain text/'markdown'. DAGassist is built on dagitty', an R package that uses the DAGitty web tool (<https://dagitty.net/>) for creating and analyzing DAGs. Methods draw on Pearl (2009) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511803161> and Textor et al. (2016) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyw341>.

This package provides a zero dependency package containing functions to declare labels and missing values, coupled with associated functions to create (weighted) tables of frequencies and various other summary measures. Some of the base functions have been rewritten to make use of the specific information about the missing values, most importantly to distinguish between empty NA and declared NA values. Some functions have similar functionality with the corresponding ones from packages "haven" and "labelled". The aim is to ensure as much compatibility as possible with these packages, while offering an alternative in the objects of class "declared".

Functions, methods, and datasets for fitting dimension reduction regression, using slicing (methods SAVE and SIR), Principal Hessian Directions (phd, using residuals and the response), and an iterative IRE. Partial methods, that condition on categorical predictors are also available. A variety of tests, and stepwise deletion of predictors, is also included. Also included is code for computing permutation tests of dimension. Adding additional methods of estimating dimension is straightforward. For documentation, see the vignette in the package. With version 3.0.4, the arguments for dr.step have been modified.

Define a spatial Area of Interest (AOI) around a constructed dam using hydrology data. Dams have environmental and social impacts, both positive and negative. Current analyses of dams have no consistent way to specify at what spatial extent we should evaluate these impacts. damAOI implements methods to adjust reservoir polygons to match satellite-observed surface water areas, plot upstream and downstream rivers using elevation data and accumulated river flow, and draw buffers clipped by river basins around reservoirs and relevant rivers. This helps to consistently determine the areas which could be impacted by dam construction, facilitating comparative analysis and informed infrastructure investments.

Implementing algorithms and fitting models when sites (possibly remote) share computation summaries rather than actual data over HTTP with a master R process (using opencpu', for example). A stratified Cox model and a singular value decomposition are provided. The former makes direct use of code from the R survival package. (That is, the underlying Cox model code is derived from that in the R survival package.) Sites may provide data via several means: CSV files, Redcap API, etc. An extensible design allows for new methods to be added in the future and includes facilities for local prototyping and testing. Web applications are provided (via shiny') for the implemented methods to help in designing and deploying the computations.

Generate point data for representing people within spatial data. This collects a suite of tools for creating simple dot density maps. Several functions from different spatial packages are standardized to take the same arguments so that they can be easily substituted for each other.
