This package provides a fast JSON parser, generator and validator which converts JSON', NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON') and GeoJSON (Geographic JSON') data to/from R objects. The standard R data types are supported (e.g. logical, numeric, integer) with configurable handling of NULL and NA values. Data frames, atomic vectors and lists are all supported as data containers translated to/from JSON'. GeoJSON data is read in as simple features objects. This implementation wraps the yyjson C library which is available from <https://github.com/ibireme/yyjson>.

This package provides a collection of convenient functions for common statistical computations, which are not directly provided by R's base or stats packages. This package aims at providing, first, shortcuts for statistical measures, which otherwise could only be calculated with additional effort. Second, these shortcut functions are generic, and can be applied not only to vectors, but also to other objects as well. The focus of most functions lies on summary statistics or fit measures for regression models, including generalized linear models, mixed effects models and Bayesian models.

This package provides functions to create side-by-side boxplots for a continuous variable grouped by a two-level categorical variable, check normality assumptions using the Shapiro-Wilk test (Shapiro and Wilk (1965) <doi:10.2307/2333709>), and perform appropriate statistical tests such as the independent two-sample t-test (Student (1908) <doi:10.1093/biomet/6.1.1>) or the Mannâ Whitney U test ( Mannâ Whitney (1947) <doi:10.1214/aoms/1177730491>). Returns a publication-ready plot and test statistics including test statistic, degrees of freedom, and p-value.

Computes a confidence interval for a specified linear combination of the regression parameters in a linear regression model with iid normal errors with unknown variance when there is uncertain prior information that a distinct specified linear combination of the regression parameters takes a specified number. This confidence interval, found by numerical nonlinear constrained optimization, has the required minimum coverage and utilizes this uncertain prior information through desirable expected length properties. This confidence interval is proposed by Kabaila, P. and Giri, K. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2009.03.018>.

This package contains the CONCOR (CONvergence of iterated CORrelations) algorithm and a series of supplemental functions for easy running, plotting, and blockmodeling. The CONCOR algorithm is used on social network data to identify network positions based off a definition of structural equivalence; see Breiger, Boorman, and Arabie (1975) <doi:10.1016/0022-2496(75)90028-0> and Wasserman and Faust's book Social Network Analysis: Methods and Applications (1994). This version allows multiple relationships for the same set of nodes and uses both incoming and outgoing ties to find positions.

Estimation tools for multidimensional Gaussian means using empirical Bayesian g-modeling. Methods are able to handle fully observed data as well as left-, right-, and interval-censored observations (Tobit likelihood); descriptions of these methods can be found in Barbehenn and Zhao (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.07239>. Additional, lower-level functionality based on Kiefer and Wolfowitz (1956) <doi:10.1214/aoms/1177728066> and Jiang and Zhang (2009) <doi:10.1214/08-AOS638> is provided that can be used to accelerate many empirical Bayes and nonparametric maximum likelihood problems.

Endpoint selection and sample size reassessment for multiple binary endpoints based on blinded and/or unblinded data. Trial design that allows an adaptive modification of the primary endpoint based on blinded information obtained at an interim analysis. The decision rule chooses the endpoint with the lower estimated required sample size. Additionally, the sample size is reassessed using the estimated event probabilities and correlation between endpoints. The implemented design is proposed in Bofill Roig, M., Gómez Melis, G., Posch, M., and Koenig, F. (2022). <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2206.09639>.

This package provides a mutual information estimator based on k-nearest neighbor method proposed by A. Kraskov, et al. (2004) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.69.066138> to measure general dependence and the time complexity for our estimator is only squared to the sample size, which is faster than other statistics. Besides, an implementation of mutual information based independence test is provided for analyzing multivariate data in Euclidean space (T B. Berrett, et al. (2019) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asz024>); furthermore, we extend it to tackle datasets in metric spaces.

Spatio-temporal locations of an animal are computed from annotated data with a hidden Markov model via particle filter algorithm. The package is relatively robust to varying degrees of shading. The hidden Markov model is described in Movement Ecology - Rakhimberdiev et al. (2015) <doi:10.1186/s40462-015-0062-5>, general package description is in the Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Rakhimberdiev et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12765> and package accuracy assessed in the Journal of Avian Biology - Rakhimberdiev et al. (2016) <doi:10.1111/jav.00891>.

This package provides implementation of statistical methods for random objects lying in various metric spaces, which are not necessarily linear spaces. The core of this package is Fréchet regression for random objects with Euclidean predictors, which allows one to perform regression analysis for non-Euclidean responses under some mild conditions. Examples include distributions in 2-Wasserstein space, covariance matrices endowed with power metric (with Frobenius metric as a special case), Cholesky and log-Cholesky metrics, spherical data.

Plot density and distribution functions with automatic selection of suitable regions. Numerically invert (compute quantiles) distribution functions. Simulate real and complex numbers from distributions of their magnitude and arguments. Optionally, the magnitudes and/or arguments may be fixed in almost arbitrary ways. Create polynomials from roots given in Cartesian or polar form. Small programming utilities: check if an object is identical to NA, count positional arguments in a call, set intersection of more than two sets, check if an argument is unnamed, compute the graph of S4 classes in packages.

Efficiently manage and process data from oTree experiments. Import oTree data and clean them by using functions that handle messy data, dropouts, and other problematic cases. Create IDs, calculate the time, transfer variables between app data frames, and delete sensitive information. Review your experimental data prior to running the experiment and automatically generate a detailed summary of the variables used in your oTree code. Information on oTree is found in Chen, D. L., Schonger, M., & Wickens, C. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jbef.2015.12.001>.

HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) is a high-performance library and file format for storing and managing large, complex data. This package provides the static libraries and headers for the HDF5 C library (release 2.0.0). It is intended for R package developers to use in the LinkingTo field, which eliminates the need for users to install system-level HDF5 dependencies. This build is compiled with thread-safety enabled and supports dynamic loading of external compression filters. HDF5 is developed by The HDF Group <https://www.hdfgroup.org/>.

It provides multiple functions that are useful for ecological research and teaching statistics to ecologists. It is based on data analysis courses offered at the Instituto de Ecologà a AC (INECOL). For references and published evidence see, Manrique-Ascencio, et al (2024) <doi:10.1111/gcb.17282>, Manrique-Ascencio et al (2024) <doi:10.1111/plb.13683>, Ruiz-Guerra et al(2017) <doi:10.17129/botsci.812>, Juarez-Fragoso et al (2024) <doi:10.1007/s10980-024-01809-z>, Papaqui-Bello et al (2024) <doi:10.13102/sociobiology.v71i2.10503>.

This is designed for use with an arbitrary set of equations with an arbitrary set of unknowns. The user selects "fixed" values for enough unknowns to leave as many variables as there are equations, which in most cases means the system is properly defined and a unique solution exists. The function, the fixed values and initial values for the remaining unknowns are fed to a nonlinear backsolver. The original version of "TK!Solver" , now a product of Universal Technical Systems (<https://www.uts.com>) was the inspiration for this function.

Model based clustering using the multivariate multiple Scaled t (MST) and multivariate multiple scaled contaminated normal (MSCN) distributions. The MST is an extension of the multivariate Student-t distribution to include flexible tail behaviors, Forbes, F. & Wraith, D. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11222-013-9414-4>. The MSCN represents a heavy-tailed generalization of the multivariate normal (MN) distribution to model elliptical contoured scatters in the presence of mild outliers (also referred to as "bad" points) and automatically detect bad points, Punzo, A. & Tortora, C. (2021) <doi:10.1177/1471082X19890935>.

This package provides a number of functions to facilitate the handling and production of reports using time series data. The package was developed to be understandable for beginners, so some functions aim to transform processes that would be complex into functions with a few lines. The main advantage of using the metools package is the ease of producing reports and working with time series using a few lines of code, so the code is clean and easy to understand/maintain. Learn more about the metools at <https://metoolsr.wordpress.com>.

This package provides tools to generate HTML interfaces for adaptive and non-adaptive tests using the shiny package (Chalmers (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v071.i05>). Suitable for applying unidimensional and multidimensional computerized adaptive tests (CAT) using item response theory methodology and for creating simple questionnaires forms to collect response data directly in R. Additionally, optimal test designs (e.g., "shadow testing") are supported for tests that contain a large number of item selection constraints. Finally, package contains tools useful for performing Monte Carlo simulations for studying test item banks.

This package provides functions for downloading, calibrating, and analyzing atmospheric isotope data bundled into the eddy covariance data products of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) <https://www.neonscience.org>. Calibration tools are provided for carbon and water isotope products. Carbon isotope calibration details are found in Fiorella et al. (2021) <doi:10.1029/2020JG005862>, and the readme file at <https://github.com/lanl/NEONiso>. Tools for calibrating water isotope products have been added as of 0.6.0, but have known deficiencies and should be considered experimental and unsupported.

Calculates the periodogram of a time series, maximum-likelihood fits an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck state space (OUSS) null model and evaluates the statistical significance of periodogram peaks against the OUSS null hypothesis. The OUSS is a parsimonious model for stochastically fluctuating variables with linear stabilizing forces, subject to uncorrelated measurement errors. Contrary to the classical white noise null model for detecting cyclicity, the OUSS model can account for temporal correlations typically occurring in ecological and geological time series.

Inspired by space-time regressions often performed to assess the expansion of the Neolithic from the Near East to Europe (Pinhasi et al. 2005 <doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.0030410>). Test for significant correlations between the (earliest) radiocarbon dates of archaeological sites and their respective distances from a hypothetical center of origin. Both ordinary least squares (OLS) and reduced major axis (RMA) methods are supported (Russell et al. 2014 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0087854>). It is also possible to iterate over many sites to identify the most likely origin.

biomaRt provides an interface to a growing collection of databases implementing the http://www.biomart.org. The package enables retrieval of large amounts of data in a uniform way without the need to know the underlying database schemas or write complex SQL queries. Examples of BioMart databases are Ensembl, COSMIC, Uniprot, HGNC, Gramene, Wormbase and dbSNP mapped to Ensembl. These major databases give biomaRt users direct access to a diverse set of data and enable a wide range of powerful online queries from gene annotation to database mining.
