Calculates B-value and empirical equivalence bound. B-value is defined as the maximum magnitude of a confidence interval; and the empirical equivalence bound is the minimum B-value at a certain level. A new two-stage procedure for hypothesis testing is proposed, where the first stage is conventional hypothesis testing and the second is an equivalence testing procedure using the introduced empirical equivalence bound. See Zhao et al. (2019) "B-Value and Empirical Equivalence Bound: A New Procedure of Hypothesis Testing" <arXiv:1912.13084> for details.

This package provides tools for conducting Bayesian analyses and Bayesian model averaging (Kass and Raftery, 1995, <doi:10.1080/01621459.1995.10476572>, Hoeting et al., 1999, <doi:10.1214/ss/1009212519>). The package contains functions for creating a wide range of prior distribution objects, mixing posterior samples from JAGS and Stan models, plotting posterior distributions, and etc... The tools for working with prior distribution span from visualization, generating JAGS and bridgesampling syntax to basic functions such as rng, quantile, and distribution functions.

An automated graphical exploratory data analysis (EDA) tool that introduces: a.) wideplot graphics for exploring the structure of a dataset through a grid of variables and graphic types. b.) longplot graphics, which present the entire catalog of available graphics for representing a particular variable using a grid of graphic types and variations on these types. c.) plotup function, which presents a particular graphic for a specific variable of a dataset. The plotup() function also makes it possible to obtain the code used to generate the graphic, meaning that the user can adjust its properties as needed. d.) matrixplot graphics that is a grid of a particular graphic showing bivariate relationships between all pairs of variables of a certain(s) type(s) in a multivariate data set.

This package provides Bayesian estimation and forecasting of dynamic panel data using Bayesian Panel Vector Autoregressions with hierarchical prior distributions. The models include country-specific VARs that share a global prior distribution that extend the model by JarociÅ ski (2010) <doi:10.1002/jae.1082>. Under this prior expected value, each country's system follows a global VAR with country-invariant parameters. Further flexibility is provided by the hierarchical prior structure that retains the Minnesota prior interpretation for the global VAR and features estimated prior covariance matrices, shrinkage, and persistence levels. Bayesian forecasting is developed for models including exogenous variables, allowing conditional forecasts given the future trajectories of some variables and restricted forecasts assuring that rates are forecasted to stay positive and less than 100. The package implements the model specification, estimation, and forecasting routines, facilitating coherent workflows and reproducibility. It also includes automated pseudo-out-of-sample forecasting and computation of forecasting performance measures. Beautiful plots, informative summary functions, and extensive documentation complement all this. An extraordinary computational speed is achieved thanks to employing frontier econometric and numerical techniques and algorithms written in C++'. The bpvars package is aligned regarding objects, workflows, and code structure with the R packages bsvars by Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvars> and bsvarSIGNs by Wang & Woźniak (2025) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvarSIGNs>, and they constitute an integrated toolset.

Estimate population average treatment effects from a primary data source with borrowing from supplemental sources. Causal estimation is done with either a Bayesian linear model or with Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) to adjust for confounding. Borrowing is done with multisource exchangeability models (MEMs). For information on BART, see Chipman, George, & McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>. For information on MEMs, see Kaizer, Koopmeiners, & Hobbs (2018) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxx031>.

Computes appropriate confidence intervals for the likelihood ratio tests commonly used in medicine/epidemiology, using the method of Marill et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/0962280215592907>. It is particularly useful when the sensitivity or specificity in the sample is 100%. Note that this does not perform the test on nested models--for that, see epicalc::lrtest'.

Fit and simulate bivariate correlated frailty models with proportional hazard structure. Frailty distributions, such as gamma and lognormal models are supported semiparametric procedures. Frailty variances of the two subjects can be varied or equal. Details on the models are available in book of Wienke (2011,ISBN:978-1-4200-7388-1). Bivariate gamma fit is obtained using the approach given in Kifle et al (2023) <DOI: 10.4310/22-SII738> with modifications. Lognormal fit is based on the approach by Ripatti and Palmgren (2000) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2000.01016.x>. Frailty distributions, such as gamma, inverse gaussian and power variance frailty models are supported for parametric approach.

Analysis of relative cell type proportions in bulk gene expression data. Provides a well-validated set of brain cell type-specific marker genes derived from multiple types of experiments, as described in McKenzie (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41598-018-27293-5>. For brain tissue data sets, there are marker genes available for astrocytes, endothelial cells, microglia, neurons, oligodendrocytes, and oligodendrocyte precursor cells, derived from each of human, mice, and combination human/mouse data sets. However, if you have access to your own marker genes, the functions can be applied to bulk gene expression data from any tissue. Also implements multiple options for relative cell type proportion estimation using these marker genes, adapting and expanding on approaches from the CellCODE R package described in Chikina (2015) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv015>. The number of cell type marker genes used in a given analysis can be increased or decreased based on your preferences and the data set. Finally, provides functions to use the estimates to adjust for variability in the relative proportion of cell types across samples prior to downstream analyses.

Assume that a temporal process is composed of contiguous segments with differing slopes and replicated noise-corrupted time series measurements are observed. The unknown mean of the data generating process is modelled as a piecewise linear function of time with an unknown number of change-points. The package infers the joint posterior distribution of the number and position of change-points as well as the unknown mean parameters per time-series by MCMC sampling. A-priori, the proposed model uses an overfitting number of mean parameters but, conditionally on a set of change-points, only a subset of them influences the likelihood. An exponentially decreasing prior distribution on the number of change-points gives rise to a posterior distribution concentrating on sparse representations of the underlying sequence, but also available is the Poisson distribution. See Papastamoulis et al (2019) <doi:10.1515/ijb-2018-0052> for a detailed presentation of the method.
