Tutorials for statistics, aimed at biological scientists. Subjects range from basic descriptive statistics through to complex linear modelling. The tutorials include text, videos, interactive coding exercises and multiple choice quizzes. The package also includes 19 datasets which are used in the tutorials.

Multilevel ecological data series (MEDS) are sequences of observations ordered according to temporal/spatial hierarchies that are defined by sample designs, with sample variability confined to ecological factors. Dendroclimatic MEDS of tree rings and climate are modeled into normalized fluctuations of tree growth and aridity. Modeled fluctuations (model frames) are compared with Mantel correlograms on multiple levels defined by sample design. Package implementation can be understood by running examples in modelFrame(), and muleMan() functions.

This package provides Bayesian quantile regression models for complex survey data under informative sampling using survey-weighted estimators. Both single- and multiple-output models are supported. To accelerate computation, all algorithms are implemented in C++ using Rcpp', RcppArmadillo', and RcppEigen', and are called from R'. See Nascimento and Gonçalves (2024) <doi:10.1093/jssam/smae015> and Nascimento and Gonçalves (2025, in press) <https://academic.oup.com/jssam>.

Package BHMSMAfMRI performs Bayesian hierarchical multi-subject multiscale analysis of fMRI data as described in Sanyal & Ferreira (2012) <DOI:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.08.041>, or other multiscale data, using wavelet-based prior that borrows strength across subjects and provides posterior smoothed images of the effect sizes and samples from the posterior distribution.

Bayesian adaptive randomization is also called outcome adaptive randomization, which is increasingly used in clinical trials.

Prognostic Enrichment is a strategy of enriching a clinical trial for testing an intervention intended to prevent or delay an unwanted clinical event. A prognostically enriched trial enrolls only patients who are more likely to experience the unwanted clinical event than the broader patient population (R. Temple (2010) <doi:10.1038/clpt.2010.233>). By testing the intervention in an enriched study population, the trial may be adequately powered with a smaller sample size, which can have both practical and ethical advantages. This package provides tools to evaluate biomarkers for prognostic enrichment of clinical trials with survival/time-to-event outcomes.

Computation of the minimum sample size using the Average Coverage Criterion or the Average Length Criterion for estimating binomial proportions using beta prior distributions. For more details see Costa (2025) <DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-72215-8_14>.

Due to a limited availability of observed high-resolution precipitation records with adequate length, simulations with stochastic precipitation models are used to generate series for subsequent studies [e.g. Khaliq and Cunmae, 1996, <doi:10.1016/0022-1694(95)02894-3>, Vandenberghe et al., 2011, <doi:10.1029/2009WR008388>]. This package contains an R implementation of the original Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulse model (BLRPM), developed by Rodriguez-Iturbe et al. (1987) <doi:10.1098/rspa.1987.0039>. It contains a function for simulating a precipitation time series based on storms and cells generated by the model with given or estimated model parameters. Additionally BLRPM parameters can be estimated from a given or simulated precipitation time series. The model simulations can be plotted in a three-layer plot including an overview of generated storms and cells by the model (which can also be plotted individually), a continuous step-function and a discrete precipitation time series at a chosen aggregation level.

It contains some example datasets used in bibliometrix'. The data are bibliographic datasets exported from the SCOPUS (<https://scopus.com>) and Clarivate Analytics Web of Science (<https://www.webofscience.com/>) databases. They can be used to test the different features of the package bibliometrix (<https://bibliometrix.org>).

This package provides functions for training an optimal decision tree classifier, making predictions and generating latex code for plotting. Works for two-class and multi-class classification problems. The algorithm seeks the optimal Boolean rule consisting of multiple variables to split a node, resulting in shorter trees.

Various algorithms for segmentation of 2D and 3D images, such as computed tomography and satellite remote sensing. This package implements Bayesian image analysis using the hidden Potts model with external field prior of Moores et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2014.12.001>. Latent labels are sampled using chequerboard updating or Swendsen-Wang.

Applies Beta Control Charts to defined values. The Beta Chart presents control limits based on the Beta probability distribution, making it suitable for monitoring fraction data from a Binomial distribution as a replacement for p-Charts. The Beta Chart has been applied in three real studies and compared with control limits from three different schemes. The comparative analysis showed that: (i) the Beta approximation to the Binomial distribution is more appropriate for values confined within the [0, 1] interval; and (ii) the proposed charts are more sensitive to the average run length (ARL) in both in-control and out-of-control process monitoring. Overall, the Beta Charts outperform the Shewhart control charts in monitoring fraction data.

Ecological alteration of degraded lands can improve their sustainability by addition of large amount of biomass to soil resulting in improved soil health. Soil biological parameters (such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling enzyme activity) are reactive to minute variations in soils [Ghosh et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.ecoleng.2021.106176> ]. Hence, biological activity index combining Urease, Alkaline Phosphatase, Dehydrogenase (DHA) & Beta-Glucosidase activity will assist in detecting early changes in restored land use systems [Patidar et al. (2023) <doi:10.3389/fsufs.2023.1230156>]. This package helps to calculate Biological Activity Index (BAI) based on vectors of Land Use System/treatment and control/reference Land Use System containing four values of Urease, Alkaline Phosphatase, DHA & Beta-Glucosidase. (DHA), urease (URE), fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis (FDA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities are measured in soil samples using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride, urea, fluorescein diacetate and p-nitro phenyl-phosphate as substrates, respectively.

Allows the estimation and prediction for binary Gaussian process model. The mean function can be assumed to have time-series structure. The estimation methods for the unknown parameters are based on penalized quasi-likelihood/penalized quasi-partial likelihood and restricted maximum likelihood. The predicted probability and its confidence interval are computed by Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. More details can be seen in Sung et al (2017) <arXiv:1705.02511>.
