Assess the sensitivity of a Bayesian model (fitted using Stan via rstan', brms', or cmdstanr') to the specification of its likelihood and priors. Users provide a series of alternate sampling specifications, and the package uses Pareto-smoothed importance sampling (PSIS) to estimate posterior quantities of interest under each specification, without needing to refit the model. Methods are based on Vehtari, Simpson, Gelman, Yao, and Gabry (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1507.02646>.

Estimate population average treatment effects from a primary data source with borrowing from supplemental sources. Causal estimation is done with either a Bayesian linear model or with Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) to adjust for confounding. Borrowing is done with multisource exchangeability models (MEMs). For information on BART, see Chipman, George, & McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>. For information on MEMs, see Kaizer, Koopmeiners, & Hobbs (2018) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxx031>.

As heavy-tailed error distribution and outliers in the response variable widely exist, models which are robust to data contamination are highly demanded. Here, we develop a novel robust Bayesian variable selection method with elastic net penalty. In particular, the spike-and-slab priors have been incorporated to impose sparsity. An efficient Gibbs sampler has been developed to facilitate computation.The core modules of the package have been developed in C++ and R.

This package provides a Bayesian meta-analysis method for studying cross-phenotype genetic associations. It uses summary-level data across multiple phenotypes to simultaneously measure the evidence of aggregate-level pleiotropic association and estimate an optimal subset of traits associated with the risk locus. CPBayes is based on a spike and slab prior. The methodology is available from: A Majumdar, T Haldar, S Bhattacharya, JS Witte (2018) <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1007139>.

The CalMaTe method calibrates preprocessed allele-specific copy number estimates (ASCNs) from DNA microarrays by controlling for single-nucleotide polymorphism-specific allelic crosstalk. The resulting ASCNs are on average more accurate, which increases the power of segmentation methods for detecting changes between copy number states in tumor studies including copy neutral loss of heterozygosity. CalMaTe applies to any ASCNs regardless of preprocessing method and microarray technology, e.g. Affymetrix and Illumina.

An open, multi-algorithmic pipeline for easy, fast and efficient analysis of cellular sub-populations and the molecular signatures that characterize them. The pipeline consists of four successive steps: data pre-processing, cellular clustering with pseudo-temporal ordering, defining differential expressed genes and biomarker identification. More details on Ghannoum et. al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijms22031399>. This package implements extensions of the work published by Ghannoum et. al. (2019) <doi:10.1101/700989>.

Analyzes participation in course-session transcripts stored in the WebVTT format <https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/>, including transcripts exported by Zoom and similar videoconferencing platforms. Provides tools to load and process transcripts, calculate speaker-level engagement metrics, create privacy-supporting plots and exports, and perform reviewable exact name matching against course rosters. Structured-field masking and technical privacy-review helpers support local review but do not determine legal or institutional compliance.

Makes the Genepop software available in R. This software implements a mixture of traditional population genetic methods and some more focused developments: it computes exact tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, for population differentiation and for genotypic disequilibrium among pairs of loci; it computes estimates of F-statistics, null allele frequencies, allele size-based statistics for microsatellites, etc.; and it performs analyses of isolation by distance from pairwise comparisons of individuals or population samples.

After fitting a Generalized Additive (Mixed) Model, the next step is often to obtain predicted values for certain combinations of predictors for visualization of estimated effects in the model. It involves constructing a new data frame, add predicted values, and finally makes a (contour) plot. This package is intended to facilitate these steps to visualize estimated effects in a generalized additive model. The underlying modeling methodology is described in Wood (2017, ISBN:9781498728331).

Additionally, it is possible to fit proportional hazards regression models in each transition of the Illness-Death Model. Several auxiliary functions are also provided which can be used for marginal estimation of the survival functions.

Utility functions for scale-dependent and alternative hyperpriors. The distribution parameters may capture location, scale, shape, etc. and every parameter may depend on complex additive terms (fixed, random, smooth, spatial, etc.) similar to a generalized additive model. Hyperpriors for all effects can be elicitated within the package. Including complex tensor product interaction terms and variable selection priors. The basic model is explained in in Klein and Kneib (2016) <doi:10.1214/15-BA983>.

Reference data sets of species sensitivities to compare the results of fitting species sensitivity distributions using software such as ssdtools and Burrlioz'. It consists of curated data sets for individual chemicals from Australian, New Zealand and Canadian organizations, several data sets from anonymous sources, and larger uncurated compilations drawn from the ANZTOX, WQBench and EnviroTox databases. It also includes a data set of the results of fitting various distributions using different software.

The base tools union() intersect(), etc., follow the algebraic definition that each element of a set must be unique. Since it's often helpful to compare all elements of two vectors, this toolset treats every element as unique for counting purposes. For ease of use, all functions in vecsets have an argument multiple which, when set to FALSE, reverts them to the base::sets (alias for all the items) tools functionality.

An R interface for processing concentration-response datasets using Curvep, a response noise filtering algorithm. The algorithm was described in the publications (Sedykh A et al. (2011) <doi:10.1289/ehp.1002476> and Sedykh A (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-6346-1_14>). Other parametric fitting approaches (e.g., Hill equation) are also adopted for ease of comparison. 3-parameter Hill equation from tcpl package (Filer D et al., <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw680>) and 4-parameter Hill equation from Curve Class2 approach (Wang Y et al., <doi:10.2174/1875397301004010057>) are available. Also, methods for calculating the confidence interval around the activity metrics are also provided. The methods are based on the bootstrap approach to simulate the datasets (Hsieh J-H et al. <doi:10.1093/toxsci/kfy258>). The simulated datasets can be used to derive the baseline noise threshold in an assay endpoint. This threshold is critical in the toxicological studies to derive the point-of-departure (POD).

This package implements topological gene set analysis using a two-step empirical approach. It exploits graph decomposition theory to create a junction tree and reconstruct the most relevant signal path. In the first step clipper selects significant pathways according to statistical tests on the means and the concentration matrices of the graphs derived from pathway topologies. Then, it "clips" the whole pathway identifying the signal paths having the greatest association with a specific phenotype.
