This package provides a convenience package for use while drafting code. It facilitates making stand-out comment lines decorated with bands of characters. The input text strings are converted into R comment lines, suitably formatted. These are then displayed in a console window and, if possible, automatically transferred to a clipboard ready for pasting into an R script. Designed to save time when drafting R scripts that will need to be navigated and maintained by other programmers.

An implementation of methods for extracting a sparse unweighted network (i.e. a backbone) from an unweighted network (e.g., Hamann et al., 2016 <doi:10.1007/s13278-016-0332-2>), a weighted network (e.g., Serrano et al., 2009 <doi:10.1073/pnas.0808904106>), or a weighted projection (e.g., Neal et al., 2021 <doi:10.1038/s41598-021-03238-3>).

The function estimates the hazard function non parametrically from a survival object (possibly adjusted for covariates). The smoothed estimate is based on B-splines from the perspective of generalized linear mixed models. Left truncated and right censoring data are allowed. The package is based on the work in Rebora P (2014) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2014-028>.

Posterior distribution in the Black-Litterman model is computed from a prior distribution given in the form of a time series of asset returns and a continuous distribution of views provided by the user as an external function.

This package provides methods for frontier analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), under different technology assumptions (fdh, vrs, drs, crs, irs, add/frh, and fdh+), and using different efficiency measures (input based, output based, hyperbolic graph, additive, super, and directional efficiency). Peers and slacks are available, partial price information can be included, and optimal cost, revenue and profit can be calculated. Evaluation of mergers is also supported. Methods for graphing the technology sets are also included. There is also support for comparative methods based on Stochastic Frontier Analyses (SFA) and for convex nonparametric least squares of convex functions (STONED). In general, the methods can be used to solve not only standard models, but also many other model variants. It complements the book, Bogetoft and Otto, Benchmarking with DEA, SFA, and R, Springer-Verlag, 2011, but can of course also be used as a stand-alone package.

This package provides a beginners toolbox to help those in ecology who want to deepen their understanding or utilize Bioacoustics in their work. The package has a number of utilizations from calculating frequency from waveform, performing operations in dB, and determining acoustic range of recorders. The majority of this package is based on key concepts learned from the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at Cornell University and their associated course: Introduction to Bioacoustics course. More information can be found within the walk through vignettes at <https://github.com/MattyD797/bioSNR/tree/main/vignettes>.

This package implements three test procedures using bootstrap resampling techniques for assessing treatment effects in one-way ANOVA models with unequal variances (heteroscedasticity). It includes a parametric bootstrap likelihood ratio test (PB_LRT()), a pairwise parametric bootstrap mean test (PPBMT()), and a Rademacher wild pairwise non-parametric bootstrap test (RWPNPBT()). These methods provide robust alternatives to classical ANOVA and standard pairwise comparisons when the assumption of homogeneity of variances is violated.

Bayesian purity model to estimate tumor purity using methylation array data (DNA methylation Infinium 450K array data) without reference samples.

Perform fundamental analyses using Bayesian parametric and non-parametric inference (regression, anova, 1 and 2 sample inference, non-parametric tests, etc.). (Practically) no Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is used; all exact finite sample inference is completed via closed form solutions or else through posterior sampling automated to ensure precision in interval estimate bounds. Diagnostic plots for model assessment, and key inferential quantities (point and interval estimates, probability of direction, region of practical equivalence, and Bayes factors) and model visualizations are provided. Bayes factors are computed either by the Savage Dickey ratio given in Dickey (1971) <doi:10.1214/aoms/1177693507> or by Chib's method as given in xxx. Interpretations are from Kass and Raftery (1995) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1995.10476572>. ROPE bounds are based on discussions in Kruschke (2018) <doi:10.1177/2515245918771304>.

This package provides a Bayesian regression model for discrete response, where the conditional distribution is modelled via a discrete Weibull distribution. This package provides an implementation of Metropolis-Hastings and Reversible-Jumps algorithms to draw samples from the posterior. It covers a wide range of regularizations through any two parameter prior. Examples are Laplace (Lasso), Gaussian (ridge), Uniform, Cauchy and customized priors like a mixture of priors. An extensive visual toolbox is included to check the validity of the results as well as several measures of goodness-of-fit.

This package provides a streamlined and user-friendly framework for bootstrapping in state space models, particularly when the number of subjects/units (n) exceeds one, a scenario commonly encountered in social and behavioral sciences. The parametric bootstrap implemented here was developed and applied in Pesigan, Russell, and Chow (2025) <doi:10.1037/met0000779>.
