Accumulated Local Effects (ALE) were initially developed as a model-agnostic approach for global explanations of the results of black-box machine learning algorithms. ALE has a key advantage over other approaches like partial dependency plots (PDP) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP): its values represent a clean functional decomposition of the model. As such, ALE values are not affected by the presence or absence of interactions among variables in a mode. Moreover, its computation is relatively rapid. This package reimplements the algorithms for calculating ALE data and develops highly interpretable visualizations for plotting these ALE values. It also extends the original ALE concept to add bootstrap-based confidence intervals and ALE-based statistics that can be used for statistical inference. For more details, see Okoli, Chitu. 2023. â Statistical Inference Using Machine Learning and Classical Techniques Based on Accumulated Local Effects (ALE).â arXiv. <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2310.09877>.

You must provision your own key for the OpenAI API <https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference>.

To address the violation of the assumption of normally distributed variables, researchers frequently employ bootstrapping. Building upon established packages for R (Sigmann et al. (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.afex>, Lenth (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.emmeans>), we provide bootstrapping functions to approximate a normal distribution of the parameter estimates for between-subject, within-subject, and mixed one-way and two-way ANOVA.

This package contains various functions for optimal scaling. One function performs optimal scaling by maximizing an aspect (i.e. a target function such as the sum of eigenvalues, sum of squared correlations, squared multiple correlations, etc.) of the corresponding correlation matrix. Another function performs implements the LINEALS approach for optimal scaling by minimization of an aspect based on pairwise correlations and correlation ratios. The resulting correlation matrix and category scores can be used for further multivariate methods such as structural equation models.

Assists in automating the selection of terms to include in mixed models when asreml is used to fit the models. Procedures are available for choosing models that conform to the hierarchy or marginality principle, for fitting and choosing between two-dimensional spatial models using correlation, natural cubic smoothing spline and P-spline models. A history of the fitting of a sequence of models is kept in a data frame. Also used to compute functions and contrasts of, to investigate differences between and to plot predictions obtained using any model fitting function. The content falls into the following natural groupings: (i) Data, (ii) Model modification functions, (iii) Model selection and description functions, (iv) Model diagnostics and simulation functions, (v) Prediction production and presentation functions, (vi) Response transformation functions, (vii) Object manipulation functions, and (viii) Miscellaneous functions (for further details see asremlPlus-package in help). The asreml package provides a computationally efficient algorithm for fitting a wide range of linear mixed models using Residual Maximum Likelihood. It is a commercial package and a license for it can be purchased from VSNi <https://vsni.co.uk/> as asreml-R', who will supply a zip file for local installation/updating (see <https://asreml.kb.vsni.co.uk/>).

This package provides a dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm for stratigraphic alignment, translated into R from the original published MATLAB code by Hay et al. (2019) <doi:10.1130/G46019.1>. The DTW algorithm incorporates two geologically relevant parameters (g and edge) for augmenting the typical DTW cost matrix, allowing for a range of sedimentologic and chronologic conditions to be explored, as well as the generation of an alignment library (as opposed to a single alignment solution). The g parameter relates to the relative sediment accumulation rate between the two time series records, while the edge parameter relates to the amount of total shared time between the records. Note that this algorithm is used for all DTW alignments in the Align Shiny application, detailed in Hagen et al. (in review).

Adaptive Sparse Multi-block Partial Least Square, a supervised algorithm, is an extension of the Sparse Multi-block Partial Least Square, which allows different quantiles to be used in different blocks of different partial least square components to decide the proportion of features to be retained. The best combinations of quantiles can be chosen from a set of user-defined quantiles combinations by cross-validation. By doing this, it enables us to do the feature selection for different blocks, and the selected features can then be further used to predict the outcome. For example, in biomedical applications, clinical covariates plus different types of omics data such as microbiome, metabolome, mRNA data, methylation data, copy number variation data might be predictive for patients outcome such as survival time or response to therapy. Different types of data could be put in different blocks and along with survival time to fit the model. The fitted model can then be used to predict the survival for the new samples with the corresponding clinical covariates and omics data. In addition, Adaptive Sparse Multi-block Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis is also included, which extends Adaptive Sparse Multi-block Partial Least Square for classifying the categorical outcome.

ATPOL is a rectangular grid system used for botanical studies in Poland. The ATPOL grid was developed in Institute of Botany, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland in 70. Since then it is widely used to represent distribution of plants in Poland. atpolR provides functions to translate geographic coordinates to the grid and vice versa. It also allows to create a choreograph map.
