This package provides a spatiotemporal model that simulates the spread of Ascochyta blight in chickpea fields based on location-specific weather conditions. This model is adapted from a model developed by Diggle et al. (2002) <doi:10.1094/PHYTO.2002.92.10.1110> for simulating the spread of anthracnose in a lupin field.

Statistical analysis of archaeological dates and groups of dates. This package allows to post-process Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations from ChronoModel <https://chronomodel.com/>, Oxcal <https://c14.arch.ox.ac.uk/oxcal.html> or BCal <https://bcal.shef.ac.uk/>. It provides functions for the study of rhythms of the long term from the posterior distribution of a series of dates (tempo and activity plot). It also allows the estimation and visualization of time ranges from the posterior distribution of groups of dates (e.g. duration, transition and hiatus between successive phases) as described in Philippe and Vibet (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v093.c01>.

Estimate age-depth models from stratigraphic and sedimentological data, and transform data between the time and stratigraphic domain.

Empirical likelihood-based approximate Bayesian Computation. Approximates the required posterior using empirical likelihood and estimated differential entropy. This is achieved without requiring any specification of the likelihood or estimating equations that connects the observations with the underlying parameters. The procedure is known to be posterior consistent. More details can be found in Chaudhuri, Ghosh, and Kim (2024) <doi:10.1002/SAM.11711>.

Additionally, the metadata information contained in the ASD file header can also be accessed.

This package provides tools for geometric morphometric analysis. The package includes tools of virtual anthropology to align two not articulated parts belonging to the same specimen, to build virtual cavities as endocast (Profico et al, 2021 <doi:10.1002/ajpa.24340>).

Calculate users prevalence of a product based on the prevalence of triers in the population. The measurement of triers is relatively easy. It is just a question of whether a person tried a product even once in his life or not. On the other hand, The measurement of people who also adopt it as part of their life is more complicated since adopting an innovative product is a subjective view of the individual. Mickey Kislev and Shira Kislev developed a formula to calculate the prevalence of a product's users to overcome this difficulty. The current package assists in calculating the users prevalence of a product based on the prevalence of triers in the population. See for: Kislev, M. M., and S. Kislev (2020) <doi:10.5539/ijms.v12n4p63>.

Calculates concentration and dispersion in ordered rating scales. It implements various measures of concentration and dispersion to describe what researchers variably call agreement, concentration, consensus, dispersion, or polarization among respondents in ordered data. It also implements other related measures to classify distributions. In addition to a generic city-block based concentration measure and a generic dispersion measure, the package implements various measures, including van der Eijk's (2001) <DOI: 10.1023/A:1010374114305> measure of agreement A, measures of concentration by Leik, Tatsle and Wierman, Blair and Lacy, Kvalseth, Berry and Mielke, Reardon, and Garcia-Montalvo and Reynal-Querol. Furthermore, the package provides an implementation of Galtungs AJUS-system to classify distributions, as well as a function to identify the position of multiple modes.

This package can be used for modeling right-censored data and for comparing different estimation algorithms.

The goal of automatedRecLin is to perform record linkage (also known as entity resolution) in unsupervised or supervised settings. It compares pairs of records from two datasets using selected comparison functions to estimate the probability or density ratio between matched and non-matched records. Based on these estimates, it predicts a set of matches that maximizes entropy. For details see: Lee et al. (2022) <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/12-001-x/2022001/article/00007-eng.htm>, Vo et al. (2023) <https://ideas.repec.org/a/eee/csdana/v179y2023ics0167947322002365.html>, Sugiyama et al.

This package provides a testing framework for testing the multivariate point null hypothesis. A testing framework described in Elder et al. (2022) <arXiv:2203.01897> to test the multivariate point null hypothesis. After the user selects a parameter of interest and defines the assumed data generating mechanism, this information should be encoded in functions for the parameter estimator and its corresponding influence curve. Some parameter and data generating mechanism combinations have codings in this package, and are explained in detail in the article.
