This package provides functions for performing the Bayesian bootstrap as introduced by Rubin (1981) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176345338> and for summarizing the result. The implementation can handle both summary statistics that works on a weighted version of the data and summary statistics that works on a resampled data set.

Assigns standardized diagnoses using the Banff Classification (Category 1 to 6 diagnoses, including Acute and Chronic active T-cell mediated rejection as well as Active, Chronic active, and Chronic antibody mediated rejection). The main function considers a minimal dataset containing biopsies information in a specific format (described by a data dictionary), verifies its content and format (based on the data dictionary), assigns diagnoses, and creates a summary report. The package is developed on the reference guide to the Banff classification of renal allograft pathology Roufosse C, Simmonds N, Clahsen-van Groningen M, et al. A (2018) <doi:10.1097/TP.0000000000002366>. The full description of the Banff classification is available at <https://banfffoundation.org/>.

Implementation of BayesFlux.jl for R; It extends the famous Flux.jl machine learning library to Bayesian Neural Networks. The goal is not to have the fastest production ready library, but rather to allow more people to be able to use and research on Bayesian Neural Networks.

Carries out Bland Altman analyses (also known as a Tukey mean-difference plot) as described by JM Bland and DG Altman in 1986 <doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(86)90837-8>. This package was created in 2015 as existing Bland-Altman analysis functions did not calculate confidence intervals. This package was created to rectify this, and create reproducible plots. This package is also available as a module for the jamovi statistical spreadsheet (see <https://www.jamovi.org> for more information).

This package provides functions to create and select graphical themes for the base plotting system. Contains: 1) several custom pre-made themes 2) mechanism for creating new themes by making persistent changes to the graphical parameters of base plots.

Hypothesis tests and sure independence screening (SIS) procedure based on ball statistics, including ball divergence <doi:10.1214/17-AOS1579>, ball covariance <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1543600>, and ball correlation <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1462709>, are developed to analyze complex data in metric spaces, e.g, shape, directional, compositional and symmetric positive definite matrix data. The ball divergence and ball covariance based distribution-free tests are implemented to detecting distribution difference and association in metric spaces <doi:10.18637/jss.v097.i06>. Furthermore, several generic non-parametric feature selection procedures based on ball correlation, BCor-SIS and all of its variants, are implemented to tackle the challenge in the context of ultra high dimensional data. A fast implementation for large-scale multiple K-sample testing with ball divergence <doi: 10.1002/gepi.22423> is supported, which is particularly helpful for genome-wide association study.

This package provides a collection of functions to test spatial autocorrelation between variables, including Moran I, Geary C and Getis G together with scatter plots, functions for mapping and identifying clusters and outliers, functions associated with the moments of the previous statistics that will allow testing whether there is bivariate spatial autocorrelation, and a function that allows identifying (visualizing neighbours) on the map, the neighbors of any region once the scheme of the spatial weights matrix has been established.

This package provides comprehensive tools for blinded sample size re-estimation (BSSR) in two-arm clinical trials with binary endpoints. Unlike traditional fixed-sample designs, BSSR allows adaptive sample size adjustments during trials while maintaining statistical integrity and study blinding. Implements five exact statistical tests: Pearson chi-squared, Fisher exact, Fisher mid-p, Z-pooled exact unconditional, and Boschloo exact unconditional tests. Supports restricted, unrestricted, and weighted BSSR approaches with exact Type I error control. Statistical methods based on Mehrotra et al. (2003) <doi:10.1111/1541-0420.00051> and Kieser (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-49528-2_21>.

This package contains functions to perform Bayesian inference using a spectral analysis of Gaussian process priors. Gaussian processes are represented with a Fourier series based on cosine basis functions. Currently the package includes parametric linear models, partial linear additive models with/without shape restrictions, generalized linear additive models with/without shape restrictions, and density estimation model. To maximize computational efficiency, the actual Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling for each model is done using codes written in FORTRAN 90. This software has been developed using funding supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education (no. NRF-2016R1D1A1B03932178 and no. NRF-2017R1D1A3B03035235).

The bestridge package is designed to provide a one-stand service for users to successfully carry out best ridge regression in various complex situations via the primal dual active set algorithm proposed by Wen, C., Zhang, A., Quan, S. and Wang, X. (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i04>. This package allows users to perform the regression, classification, count regression and censored regression for (ultra) high dimensional data, and it also supports advanced usages like group variable selection and nuisance variable selection.

This package provides functions to implement a Hwang(2021) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3866876> estimator, which bounds an omitted variable bias using auxiliary data.

Objective Bayesian inference procedures for the parameters of the multivariate random effects model with application to multivariate meta-analysis. The posterior for the model parameters, namely the overall mean vector and the between-study covariance matrix, are assessed by constructing Markov chains based on the Metropolis-Hastings algorithms as developed in Bodnar and Bodnar (2021) (<arXiv:2104.02105>). The Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is designed under the assumption of the normal distribution and the t-distribution when the Berger and Bernardo reference prior and the Jeffreys prior are assigned to the model parameters. Convergence properties of the generated Markov chains are investigated by the rank plots and the split hat-R estimate based on the rank normalization, which are proposed in Vehtari et al. (2021) (<DOI:10.1214/20-BA1221>).

Implementation of the nonparametric bounds for the average causal effect under an instrumental variable model by Balke and Pearl (Bounds on Treatment Effects from Studies with Imperfect Compliance, JASA, 1997, 92, 439, 1171-1176, <doi:10.2307/2965583>). The package can calculate bounds for a binary outcome, a binary treatment/phenotype, and an instrument with either 2 or 3 categories. The package implements bounds for situations where these 3 variables are measured in the same dataset (trivariate data) or where the outcome and instrument are measured in one study and the treatment/phenotype and instrument are measured in another study (bivariate data).

Statistical classification and regression have been popular among various fields and stayed in the limelight of scientists of those fields. Examples of the fields include clinical trials where the statistical classification of patients is indispensable to predict the clinical courses of diseases. Considering the negative impact of diseases on performing daily tasks, correctly classifying patients based on the clinical information is vital in that we need to identify patients of the high-risk group to develop a severe state and arrange medical treatment for them at an opportune moment. Deep learning - a part of artificial intelligence - has gained much attention, and research on it burgeons during past decades: see, e.g, Kazemi and Mirroshandel (2018) <DOI:10.1016/j.artmed.2017.12.001>. It is a veritable technique which was originally designed for the classification, and hence, the Buddle package can provide sublime solutions to various challenging classification and regression problems encountered in the clinical trials. The Buddle package is based on the back-propagation algorithm - together with various powerful techniques such as batch normalization and dropout - which performs a multi-layer feed-forward neural network: see Krizhevsky et. al (2017) <DOI:10.1145/3065386>, Schmidhuber (2015) <DOI:10.1016/j.neunet.2014.09.003> and LeCun et al. (1998) <DOI:10.1109/5.726791> for more details. This package contains two main functions: TrainBuddle() and FetchBuddle(). TrainBuddle() builds a feed-forward neural network model and trains the model. FetchBuddle() recalls the trained model which is the output of TrainBuddle(), classifies or regresses given data, and make a final prediction for the data.
