This package provides a statistical disclosure control tool to protect tables by suppression using the Gaussian elimination secondary suppression algorithm (Langsrud, 2024) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-69651-0_6>. A suggestion is to start by working with functions SuppressSmallCounts() and SuppressDominantCells(). These functions use primary suppression functions for the minimum frequency rule and the dominance rule, respectively. Novel functionality for suppression of disclosive cells is also included. General primary suppression functions can be supplied as input to the general working horse function, GaussSuppressionFromData(). Suppressed frequencies can be replaced by synthetic decimal numbers as described in Langsrud (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11222-018-9848-9>.

This package provides a collection of datasets and simplified functions for an introductory (geo)statistics module at University College London. Provides functionality for compositional, directional and spatial data, including ternary diagrams, Wulff and Schmidt stereonets, and ordinary kriging interpolation. Implements logistic and (additive and centred) logratio transformations. Computes vector averages and concentration parameters for the von-Mises distribution. Includes a collection of natural and synthetic fractals, and a simulator for deterministic chaos using a magnetic pendulum example. The main purpose of these functions is pedagogical. Researchers can find more complete alternatives for these tools in other packages such as compositions', robCompositions', sp', gstat and RFOC'. All the functions are written in plain R, with no compiled code and a minimal number of dependencies. Theoretical background and worked examples are available at <https://tinyurl.com/UCLgeostats/>.

Assists in the plotting and functional smoothing of traits measured over time and the extraction of features from these traits, implementing the SET (Smoothing and Extraction of Traits) method described in Brien et al. (2020) Plant Methods, 16. Smoothing of growth trends for individual plants using natural cubic smoothing splines or P-splines is available for removing transient effects and segmented smoothing is available to deal with discontinuities in growth trends. There are graphical tools for assessing the adequacy of trait smoothing, both when using this and other packages, such as those that fit nonlinear growth models. A range of per-unit (plant, pot, plot) growth traits or features can be extracted from the data, including single time points, interval growth rates and other growth statistics, such as maximum growth or days to maximum growth. The package also has tools adapted to inputting data from high-throughput phenotyping facilities, such from a Lemna-Tec Scananalyzer 3D (see <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRAF_mAEa7E/> for more information). The package growthPheno can also be installed from <http://chris.brien.name/rpackages/>.

Estimation of the generalized beta distribution of the second kind (GB2) and related models using grouped data in form of income shares. The GB2 family is a general class of distributions that provides an accurate fit to income data. GB2group includes functions to estimate the GB2, the Singh-Maddala, the Dagum, the Beta 2, the Lognormal and the Fisk distributions. GB2group deploys two different econometric strategies to estimate these parametric distributions, the equally weighted minimum distance (EWMD) estimator and the optimally weighted minimum distance (OMD) estimator. Asymptotic standard errors are reported for the OMD estimates. Standard errors of the EWMD estimates are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. See Jorda et al. (2018) <arXiv:1808.09831> for a detailed description of the estimation procedure.

This package provides methods for automatic calculation of gene scores from gene count tables, including a Z-score method that requires a table of samples being scored and a count table with control samples; a geometric mean method that does not rely on control samples; and a principal component-based method that summarizes gene expression using user-selected principal components. The Z-score and geometric mean approaches are described in Kim et al. (2018) <doi:10.1089/jir.2017.0127>.

Estimation and display of various types of population attributable fraction and impact fractions. As well as the usual calculations of attributable fractions and impact fractions, functions are provided for attributable fraction nomograms and fan plots, continuous exposures, for pathway specific population attributable fractions, and for joint, average and sequential population attributable fractions.

Several Goodness-of-Fit (GoF) tests for Copulae are provided. A new hybrid test, Zhang et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2016.02.017> is implemented which supports all of the individual tests in the package, e.g. Genest et al. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.insmatheco.2007.10.005>. Estimation methods for the margins are provided and all the tests support parameter estimation and predefined values. The parameters are estimated by pseudo maximum likelihood but if it fails the estimation switches automatically to inversion of Kendall's tau. For reproducibility of results, the functions support the definition of seeds. Also all the tests support automatized parallelization of the bootstrapping tasks. The package provides an interface to perform new GoF tests by submitting the test statistic.

This package provides a simple wrapper for Wikipedia data. Specifically, this package looks to fill a gap in retrieving text data in a tidy format that can be used for Natural Language Processing.

Analysis of complex ANOVA models with any combination of orthogonal/nested and fixed/random factors, as described by Underwood (1997). There are two restrictions: (i) data must be balanced; (ii) fixed nested factors are not allowed. Homogeneity of variances is checked using Cochran's C test and a posteriori comparisons of means are done using Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) procedure. For those terms with no denominator in the F-ratio calculation, pooled mean squares and quasi F-ratios are provided. Magnitute of effects are assessed by components of variation.

Measures included are minimum convex hull area, minimum spanning tree distance, longitudinal range, latitudinal range, maximum pairwise great circle distance, and number of X by X degree cells occupied.

This package provides functions for constructing Transformed and Relative Lorenz curves with survey sampling weights. Given a variable of interest measured in two groups with scaled survey weights so that their hypothetical populations are of equal size, tlorenz() computes the proportion of members of the group with smaller values (ordered from smallest to largest) needed for their sum to match the sum of the top qth percentile of the group with higher values. rlorenz() shows the fraction of the total value of the group with larger values held by the pth percentile of those in the group with smaller values. Fd() is a survey weighted cumulative distribution function and Eps() is a survey weighted inverse cdf used in rlorenz(). Ramos, Graubard, and Gastwirth (2025) <doi:10.1093/jrsssa/qnaf044>.
