Interactions between proteins occur in many, if not most, biological processes. Most proteins perform their functions in networks associated with other proteins and other biomolecules. This fact has motivated the development of a variety of experimental methods for the identification of protein interactions. This variety has in turn ushered in the development of numerous different computational approaches for modeling and predicting protein interactions. Sometimes an experiment is aimed at identifying proteins closely related to some interesting proteins. A network based statistical learning method is used to infer the putative functions of proteins from the known functions of its neighboring proteins on a PPI network. This package identifies such proteins often involved in the same or similar biological functions.

Highly efficient functions for estimating various rank (centrality) measures of nodes in bipartite graphs (two-mode networks). Includes methods for estimating HITS, CoHITS, BGRM, and BiRank with implementation primarily inspired by He et al. (2016) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2016.2611584>. Also provides easy-to-use tools for efficiently estimating PageRank in one-mode graphs, incorporating or removing edge-weights during rank estimation, projecting two-mode graphs to one-mode, and for converting edgelists and matrices to sparseMatrix format. Best of all, the package's rank estimators can work directly with common formats of network data including edgelists (class data.frame, data.table, or tbl_df) and adjacency matrices (class matrix or dgCMatrix).

Emissions are the mass of pollutants released into the atmosphere. Air quality models need emissions data, with spatial and temporal distribution, to represent air pollutant concentrations. This package, eixport, creates inputs for the air quality models WRF-Chem Grell et al (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.atmosenv.2005.04.027>, MUNICH Kim et al (2018) <doi:10.5194/gmd-11-611-2018> , BRAMS-SPM Freitas et al (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.atmosenv.2005.07.017> and RLINE Snyder et al (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.atmosenv.2013.05.074>. See the eixport website (<https://atmoschem.github.io/eixport/>) for more information, documentations and examples. More details in Ibarra-Espinosa et al (2018) <doi:10.21105/joss.00607>.

Fit occupancy models in Stan via brms'. The full variety of brms formula-based effects structures are available to use in multiple classes of occupancy model, including single-season models, models with data augmentation for never-observed species, dynamic (multiseason) models with explicit colonization and extinction processes, and dynamic models with autologistic occupancy dynamics. Formulas can be specified for all relevant distributional terms, including detection and one or more of occupancy, colonization, extinction, and autologistic depending on the model type. Several important forms of model post-processing are provided. References: Bürkner (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i01>; Carpenter et al.

This package implements the five-parameter Generalized Kumaraswamy ('gkw') distribution proposed by Carrasco, Ferrari and Cordeiro (2010) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1004.0911> and its seven nested sub-families for modeling bounded continuous data on the unit interval (0,1). The gkw distribution extends the Kumaraswamy distribution described by Jones (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.stamet.2008.04.001>. Provides density, distribution, quantile, and random generation functions, along with analytical log-likelihood, gradient, and Hessian functions implemented in C++ via RcppArmadillo for maximum computational efficiency. Suitable for modeling proportions, rates, percentages, and indices exhibiting complex features such as asymmetry, or heavy tails and other shapes not adequately captured by standard distributions like simple Beta or Kumaraswamy.

Instrumental variables (IVs) are a popular and powerful tool for estimating causal effects in the presence of unobserved confounding. However, classical methods rely on strong assumptions such as the exclusion criterion, which states that instrumental effects must be entirely mediated by treatments. In the so-called "leaky" IV setting, candidate instruments are allowed to have some direct influence on outcomes, rendering the average treatment effect (ATE) unidentifiable. But with limits on the amount of information leakage, we may still recover sharp bounds on the ATE, providing partial identification. This package implements methods for ATE bounding in the leaky IV setting with linear structural equations. For details, see Watson et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.04446>.

Stepwise regression is a statistical technique used for model selection. This package streamlines stepwise regression analysis by supporting multiple regression types(linear, Cox, logistic, Poisson, Gamma, and negative binomial), incorporating popular selection strategies(forward, backward, bidirectional, and subset), and offering essential metrics. It enables users to apply multiple selection strategies and metrics in a single function call, visualize variable selection processes, and export results in various formats. StepReg offers a data-splitting option to address potential issues with invalid statistical inference and a randomized forward selection option to avoid overfitting. We validated StepReg's accuracy using public datasets within the SAS software environment. For an interactive web interface, users can install the companion StepRegShiny package.

Monte Carlo confidence intervals for free and defined parameters in models fitted in the structural equation modeling package lavaan can be generated using the semmcci package. semmcci has three main functions, namely, MC(), MCMI(), and MCStd(). The output of lavaan is passed as the first argument to the MC() function or the MCMI() function to generate Monte Carlo confidence intervals. Monte Carlo confidence intervals for the standardized estimates can also be generated by passing the output of the MC() function or the MCMI() function to the MCStd() function. A description of the package and code examples are presented in Pesigan and Cheung (2024) <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02114-4>.

This package provides visualizations for SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) such as waterfall plots, force plots, various types of importance plots, dependence plots, and interaction plots. These plots act on a shapviz object created from a matrix of SHAP values and a corresponding feature dataset. Wrappers for the R packages xgboost, lightgbm, fastshap, shapr, h2o, treeshap, DALEX, and kernelshap are added for convenience. By separating visualization and computation, it is possible to display factor variables in graphs, even if the SHAP values are calculated by a model that requires numerical features. The plots are inspired by those provided by the shap package in Python, but there is no dependency on it.

This package provides users with its associated functions for pedagogical purposes in visually learning Bayesian networks and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computations. It enables users to: a) Create and examine the (starting) graphical structure of Bayesian networks; b) Create random Bayesian networks using a dataset with customized constraints; c) Generate Stan code for structures of Bayesian networks for sampling the data and learning parameters; d) Plot the network graphs; e) Perform Markov chain Monte Carlo computations and produce graphs for posteriors checks. The package refers to one reference item, which describes the methods and algorithms: Vuong, Quan-Hoang and La, Viet-Phuong (2019) <doi:10.31219/osf.io/w5dx6> The bayesvl R package. Open Science Framework (May 18).

Fits or generalized linear models either a regression with Autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) errors for time series data. The package makes it easy to incorporate constraints into the model's coefficients. The model is specified by an objective function (Gaussian, Binomial or Poisson) or an ARMA order (p,q), a vector of bound constraints for the coefficients (i.e beta1 > 0) and the possibility to incorporate restrictions among coefficients (i.e beta1 > beta2). The references of this packages are the same as stats package for glm() and arima() functions. See Brockwell, P. J. and Davis, R. A. (1996, ISBN-10: 9783319298528). For the different optimizers implemented, it is recommended to consult the documentation of the corresponding packages.

Compute price indices using various Hedonic and multilateral methods, including Laspeyres, Paasche, Fisher, and HMTS (Hedonic Multilateral Time series re-estimation with splicing). The central function calculate_price_index() offers a unified interface for running these methods on structured datasets. This package is designed to support index construction workflows for real estate and other domains where quality-adjusted price comparisons over time are essential. The development of this package was funded by Eurostat and Statistics Netherlands (CBS), and carried out by Statistics Netherlands. The HMTS method implemented here is described in Ishaak, Ouwehand and Remøy (2024) <doi:10.1177/0282423X241246617>. For broader methodological context, see Eurostat (2013, ISBN:978-92-79-25984-5, <doi:10.2785/34007>).

This package implements the Savvy Parity Regression savvyPR methodology for multivariate linear regression analysis. The package solves an optimization problem that balances the contribution of each predictor variable to ensure estimation stability in the presence of multicollinearity. It supports two distinct parameterization methods, a Budget-based approach that allocates a fixed loss contribution to each predictor, and a Target-based approach (t-tuning) that utilizes a relative elasticity weight for the response variable. The package provides comprehensive tools for model estimation, risk distribution analysis, and parameter tuning via cross-validation (PR1, PR2, and PR3 model types) to optimize predictive accuracy. Methods are based on Asimit, Chen, Ichim and Millossovich (2026) <https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/35005/>.

This package provides raw files recorded on different Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) instruments. All included MS instruments are manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific and belong to the Orbitrap Tribrid or Q Exactive Orbitrap family of instruments. Despite their common origin and shared hardware components, e.g., Orbitrap mass analyser, the above instruments tend to write data in different "dialects" in a shared binary file format (.raw). The intention behind tartare is to provide complex but slim real-world files that can be used to make code robust with respect to this diversity. In other words, it is intended for enhanced unit testing. The package is considered to be used with the rawrr package and the Spectra MsBackends.

SEM Trees and SEM Forests -- an extension of model-based decision trees and forests to Structural Equation Models (SEM). SEM trees hierarchically split empirical data into homogeneous groups each sharing similar data patterns with respect to a SEM by recursively selecting optimal predictors of these differences. SEM forests are an extension of SEM trees. They are ensembles of SEM trees each built on a random sample of the original data. By aggregating over a forest, we obtain measures of variable importance that are more robust than measures from single trees. A description of the method was published by Brandmaier, von Oertzen, McArdle, & Lindenberger (2013) <doi:10.1037/a0030001> and Arnold, Voelkle, & Brandmaier (2020) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.564403>.

This package provides a collection of functions for estimating spatial and spatio-temporal regression models. Moran eigenvectors are used as spatial basis functions to efficiently approximate spatially dependent Gaussian processes (i.e., random effects eigenvector spatial filtering; see Murakami and Griffith 2015 <doi: 10.1007/s10109-015-0213-7>). The implemented models include linear regression with residual spatial dependence, spatially/spatio-temporally varying coefficient models (Murakami et al., 2017, 2024; <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2016.12.001>,<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.07229>), spatially filtered unconditional quantile regression (Murakami and Seya, 2019 <doi:10.1002/env.2556>), Gaussian and non-Gaussian spatial mixed models through compositionally-warping (Murakami et al. 2021, <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2021.100520>).

This package provides methods for detecting and visualizing cladogenic shifts in multivariate trait data on phylogenies.

This package provides functions for building cognitive maps based on qualitative data. Inputs are textual sources (articles, transcription of qualitative interviews of agents,...). These sources have been coded using relations and are linked to (i) a table describing the variables (or concepts) used for the coding and (ii) a table describing the sources (typology of agents, ...). Main outputs are Individual Cognitive Maps (ICM), Social Cognitive Maps (all sources or group of sources) and a list of quotes linked to relations. This package is linked to the work done during the PhD of Frederic M. Vanwindekens (CRA-W / UCL) hold the 13 of May 2014 at University of Louvain in collaboration with the Walloon Agricultural Research Centre (project MIMOSA, MOERMAN fund).

"Evolutionary Virtual Education" - evolved - provides multiple tools to help educators (especially at the graduate level or in advanced undergraduate level courses) apply inquiry-based learning in general evolution classes. In particular, the tools provided include functions that simulate evolutionary processes (e.g., genetic drift, natural selection within a single locus) or concepts (e.g. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, phylogenetic distribution of traits). More than only simulating, the package also provides tools for students to analyze (e.g., measuring, testing, visualizing) datasets with characteristics that are common to many fields related to evolutionary biology. Importantly, the package is heavily oriented towards providing tools for inquiry-based learning - where students follow scientific practices to actively construct knowledge. For additional details, see package's vignettes.

Deconvolution of thermal decay curves allows you to quantify proportions of biomass components in plant litter. Thermal decay curves derived from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) are imported, modified, and then modelled in a three- or four- part mixture model using the Fraser-Suzuki function. The output is estimates for weights of pseudo-components corresponding to hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. For more information see: Müller-Hagedorn, M. and Bockhorn, H.
