This package provides tools to analyse, interpret and understand air pollution data. Data are typically regular time series and air quality measurement, meteorological data and dispersion model output can be analysed. The package is described in Carslaw and Ropkins (2012, <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2011.09.008>) and subsequent papers.

Gene-based association tests using the actual impurity reduction (AIR) variable importance. The function aggregates AIR importance measures from a group of SNPs or probes and outputs a p-value for each gene. The procedures builds upon the method described in <doi:10.1093/Bioinformatics/Bty373> and will be published soon.

An implementation of a computationally efficient method to fit large-scale interaction models based on the reluctant interaction selection principle. The method and its properties are described in greater depth in Yu, G., Bien, J., and Tibshirani, R.J. (2019) "Reluctant interaction modeling", which is available at <arXiv:1907.08414>.

Most calculations are based on the formulas given in Astronomy Answers articles about position of the sun and the planets : <https://www.aa.quae.nl/en/reken/zonpositie.html>.

Function for the computation of fractal dimension based on mass of soil particle size distribution by Tyler & Wheatcraft (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600020005x>. It also provides functions for calculation of mean weight and geometric mean diameter of particle size distribution by Perfect et al. (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600050012x>.

Does prediction in the case of a censored survival outcome, or a regression outcome, using the "supervised principal component" approach. Superpc is especially useful for high-dimensional data when the number of features p dominates the number of samples n (p >> n paradigm), as generated, for instance, by high-throughput technologies.

Fits, spatially predicts and temporally forecasts large amounts of space-time data using [1] Bayesian Gaussian Process (GP) Models, [2] Bayesian Auto-Regressive (AR) Models, and [3] Bayesian Gaussian Predictive Processes (GPP) based AR Models for spatio-temporal big-n problems.

This package provides a set of measures of dissimilarity between time series to perform time series clustering. Metrics based on raw data, on generating models and on the forecast behavior are implemented. Some additional utilities related to time series clustering are also provided, such as clustering algorithms and cluster evaluation metrics.

The goal of vetiver is to provide fluent tooling to version, share, deploy, and monitor a trained model. Functions handle both recording and checking the model's input data prototype, and predicting from a remote API endpoint. The vetiver package is extensible, with generics that can support many kinds of models.

The goal of DELocal is to identify DE genes compared to their neighboring genes from the same chromosomal location. It has been shown that genes of related functions are generally very far from each other in the chromosome. DELocal utilzes this information to identify DE genes comparing with their neighbouring genes.

Pathway Expression Profiles (PEPs) are based on the expression of pathways (defined as sets of genes) as opposed to individual genes. This package converts gene expression profiles to PEPs and performs enrichment analysis of both pathways and experimental conditions, such as "drug set enrichment analysis" and "gene2drug" drug discovery analysis respectively.

Keep track of dates in terms of fractional calendar months per Damien Laker "Time Calculations for Annualizing Returns: the Need for Standardization", The Journal of Performance Measurement, 2008. Model dates as of close of business. Perform date arithmetic in units of "months" and "years". Allow "infinite" dates to model "ultimate" time.

Another Base58 codec implementation. Compared to the base58 crate this is significantly faster at decoding: about 2.4x as fast when decoding 32 bytes, almost the same speed for encoding: about 3% slower when encoding 32 bytes. rust-bs58 is not limited to 128 bytes and supports a configurable alphabet.

Haml is a layer on top of HTML or XML that is designed to express the structure of documents using indentation rather than closing tags. It was originally envisioned as a plugin for Ruby on Rails, but it can function as a stand-alone templating engine.

Robustness checks for omitted variable bias. The package includes robustness checks proposed by Oster (2019). The robomit package computes i) the bias-adjusted treatment correlation or effect and ii) the degree of selection on unobservables relative to observables (with respect to the treatment variable) that would be necessary to eliminate the result based on the framework by Oster (2019). The code is based on the psacalc command in Stata'. Additionally, robomit offers a set of sensitivity analysis and visualization functions. See Oster, E. 2019. <doi:10.1080/07350015.2016.1227711>. Additionally, see Diegert, P., Masten, M. A., & Poirier, A. (2022) for a recent discussion of the topic: <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2206.02303>.

The Brazilian Jurimetrics Association (ABJ in Portuguese, see <https://abj.org.br/> for more information) is a non-profit organization which aims to investigate and promote the use of statistics and probability in the study of Law and its institutions. This package has a set of datasets commonly used in our book.

This package provides a toolbox for analyzing and simulating large networks based on hierarchical exponential-family random graph models (HERGMs).'bigergm implements the estimation for large networks efficiently building on the lighthergm and hergm packages. Moreover, the package contains tools for simulating networks with local dependence to assess the goodness-of-fit.

Runs hierarchical linear Bayesian models. Samples from the posterior distributions of model parameters in JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler; Plummer, 2017, <http://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.net>). Computes Bayes factors for group parameters of interest with the Savage-Dickey density ratio (Wetzels, Raaijmakers, Jakab, Wagenmakers, 2009, <doi:10.3758/PBR.16.4.752>).

This package provides a set of Boolean operators which accept integers of any size, in any base from 2 to 36, including 2's complement format, and perform actions like "AND," "OR", "NOT", "SHIFTR/L" etc. The output can be in any base specified. A direct base to base converter is included.

Runs a series of configurable tests against a user's compute environment. This can be used for checking that things like a specific directory or an environment variable is available before you start an analysis. Alternatively, you can use the package's situation report when filing error reports with your compute infrastructure.
