MDS is a statistic tool for reduction of dimensionality, using as input a distance matrix of dimensions n à n. When n is large, classical algorithms suffer from computational problems and MDS configuration can not be obtained. With this package, we address these problems by means of six algorithms, being two of them original proposals: - Landmark MDS proposed by De Silva V. and JB. Tenenbaum (2004). - Interpolation MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Reduced MDS proposed by Paradis E (2018). - Pivot MDS proposed by Brandes U. and C. Pich (2007) - Divide-and-conquer MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Fast MDS, proposed by Yang, T., J. Liu, L. McMillan and W. Wang (2006).

This package provides functions developed within Breeding Insight to analyze diploid and polyploid breeding and genetic data. BIGr provides the ability to filter variant call format (VCF) files, extract single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from diversity arrays technology missing allele discovery count (DArT MADC) files, and manipulate genotype data for both diploid and polyploid species. It also serves as the core dependency for the BIGapp Shiny app, which provides a user-friendly interface for performing routine genotype analysis tasks such as dosage calling, filtering, principal component analysis (PCA), genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and genomic prediction. For more details about the included breedTools functions, see Funkhouser et al. (2017) <doi:10.2527/tas2016.0003>, and the updog output format, see Gerard et al. (2018) <doi:10.1534/genetics.118.301468>.

This package provides an accessible and robust implementation of core BME methodologies for spatial prediction. It enables the systematic integration of heterogeneous data sources including both hard data (precise measurements) and soft interval data (bounded or uncertain observations) while incorporating prior knowledge and supporting variogram-based spatial modeling. The BME methodology is described in Christakos (1990) <doi:10.1007/BF00890661> and Serre and Christakos (1999) <doi:10.1007/s004770050029>.

This package contains several plotting functions such as barplots, scatterplots, heatmaps, as well as functions to combine plots and assist in the creation of these plots. These functions will give users great ease of use and customization options in broad use for biomedical applications, as well as general purpose plotting. Each of the functions also provides valid default settings to make plotting data more efficient and producing high quality plots with standard colour schemes simpler. All functions within this package are capable of producing plots that are of the quality to be presented in scientific publications and journals.

Estimation of bifurcating autoregressive models of any order, p, BAR(p) as well as several types of bias correction for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Zhou and Basawa (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2005.04.024> and Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2020) <doi:10.1002/sta4.342>.

Functions for generating and plotting bifurcating autoregressive data from any BAR(p) model are also included. This new version includes calculating several type of bias-corrected and -uncorrected confidence intervals for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2023) <doi:10.6339/23-JDS1092>.

This package provides methods for the binarization of one-dimensional data and some visualization functions.

Large panel data sets are often subject to common trends. However, it can be difficult to determine the exact number of these common factors and analyse their properties. The package implements the Barigozzi and Trapani (2022) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2021.1901719> test, which not only provides an efficient way of estimating the number of common factors in large nonstationary panel data sets, but also gives further insights on factor classes. The routine identifies the existence of (i) a factor subject to a linear trend, (ii) the number of zero-mean I(1) and (iii) zero-mean I(0) factors. Furthermore, the package includes the Integrated Panel Criteria by Bai (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2003.10.022> that provide a complementary measure for the number of factors.

Prior transcription factor binding knowledge and target gene expression data are integrated in a Bayesian framework for functional cis-regulatory module inference. Using Gibbs sampling, we iteratively estimate transcription factor associations for each gene, regulation strength for each binding event and the hidden activity for each transcription factor.

Twelve confidence intervals for one binomial proportion or a vector of binomial proportions are computed. The confidence intervals are: Jeffreys, Wald, Wald corrected, Wald, Blyth and Still, Agresti and Coull, Wilson, Score, Score corrected, Wald logit, Wald logit corrected, Arcsine and Exact binomial. References include, among others: Vollset, S. E. (1993). "Confidence intervals for a binomial proportion". Statistics in Medicine, 12(9): 809-824. <doi:10.1002/sim.4780120902>.

Moreover, the package includes code for estimating several technical efficiency measures using different models such as the input and output-oriented radial measures, the input and output-oriented Russell measures, the Directional Distance Function (DDF), the Weighted Additive Measure (WAM) and the Slacks-Based Measure (SBM).

Enables off-the-shelf functionality for fully Bayesian, nonstationary Gaussian process modeling. The approach to nonstationary modeling involves a closed-form, convolution-based covariance function with spatially-varying parameters; these parameter processes can be specified either deterministically (using covariates or basis functions) or stochastically (using approximate Gaussian processes). Stationary Gaussian processes are a special case of our methodology, and we furthermore implement approximate Gaussian process inference to account for very large spatial data sets (Finley, et al (2017) <arXiv:1702.00434v2>). Bayesian inference is carried out using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods via the nimble package, and posterior prediction for the Gaussian process at unobserved locations is provided as a post-processing step.
