Easily processes batches of univariate or multivariate regression models. Returns results in a tidy format and generates visualization plots for straightforward interpretation (Wang, Shixiang, et al. (2025) <DOI:10.1002/mdr2.70028>).

Package binr (pronounced as "binner") provides algorithms for cutting numerical values exhibiting a potentially highly skewed distribution into evenly distributed groups (bins). This functionality can be applied for binning discrete values, such as counts, as well as for discretization of continuous values, for example, during generation of features used in machine learning algorithms.

Allows local bone density estimates to be derived from CT data and mapped to 3D bone models in a reproducible manner. Processing can be performed at the individual bone or group level. Also includes tools for visualizing the bone density estimates. Example methods are described in Telfer et al., (2021) <doi:10.1002/jor.24792>, Telfer et al., (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jse.2021.05.011>.

Noise filter based on determining the proportion of neighboring points. A false point will be rejected if it has only few neighbors, but accepted if the proportion of neighbors in a rectangular frame is high. The size of the rectangular frame as well as the cut-off value, i.e. of a minimum proportion of neighbor-points, may be supplied or can be calculated automatically. Originally designed for the cleaning of heart rates, but suitable for filtering any slowly-changing physiological variable.For more information see Signer (2010)<doi:10.1111/j.2041-210X.2009.00010.x>.

Supervised learning using Boltzmann Bayes model inference, which extends naive Bayes model to include interactions. Enables classification of data into multiple response groups based on a large number of discrete predictors that can take factor values of heterogeneous levels. Either pseudo-likelihood or mean field inference can be used with L2 regularization, cross-validation, and prediction on new data. <doi:10.18637/jss.v101.i05>.

Carry out Bayesian estimation and forecasting for a variety of stochastic mortality models using vague prior distributions. Models supported include numerous well-established approaches introduced in the actuarial and demographic literature, such as the Lee-Carter (1992) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1992.10475265>, the Cairns-Blake-Dowd (2009) <doi:10.1080/10920277.2009.10597538>, the Li-Lee (2005) <doi:10.1353/dem.2005.0021>, and the Plat (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.insmatheco.2009.08.006> models. The package is designed to analyse stratified mortality data structured as a 3-dimensional array of dimensions p à A à T (strata à age à year). Stratification can represent factors such as cause of death, country, deprivation level, sex, geographic region, insurance product, marital status, socioeconomic group, or smoking behavior. While the primary focus is on analysing stratified data (p > 1), the package can also handle mortality data that are not stratified (p = 1). Model selection via the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) is supported.

Function bipmod() that partitions a bipartite network into non-overlapping biclusters by maximizing bipartite modularity defined in Barber (2007) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.76.066102> using the bipartite version of the algorithm described in Treviño (2015) <doi:10.1088/1742-5468/2015/02/P02003>.

Generation of samples from a mix of binary, ordinal and continuous random variables with a pre-specified correlation matrix and marginal distributions. The details of the method are explained in Demirtas et al. (2012) <DOI:10.1002/sim.5362>.

The kernelSmoothing() function allows you to square and smooth geolocated data. It calculates a classical kernel smoothing (conservative) or a geographically weighted median. There are four major call modes of the function. The first call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth) for a classical kernel smoothing and automatic grid. The second call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles) for a geographically weighted median and automatic grid. The third call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, centroids) for a classical kernel smoothing and user grid. The fourth call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles, centroids) for a geographically weighted median and user grid.

Bagged OutlierTrees is an explainable unsupervised outlier detection method based on an ensemble implementation of the existing OutlierTree procedure (Cortes, 2020). This implementation takes advantage of bootstrap aggregating (bagging) to improve robustness by reducing the possible masking effect and subsequent high variance (similarly to Isolation Forest), hence the name "Bagged OutlierTrees". To learn more about the base procedure OutlierTree (Cortes, 2020), please refer to <arXiv:2001.00636>.

The goal of this method is to identify associations between bacteria and an environmental variable in 16S or other compositional data. The environmental variable is any variable which is measure for each microbiome sample, for example, a butyrate measurement paired with every sample in the data. Microbiome data is compositional, meaning that the total abundance of each sample sums to 1, and this introduces severe statistical distortions. This method takes a Bayesian approach to correcting for these statistical distortions, in which the total abundance is treated as an unknown variable. This package runs the python implementation using reticulate.

Miscellaneous R functions, including functions related to graphics (mostly for base graphics), permutation tests, running mean/median, and general utilities.
