It provides access to and information about the most important Brazilian economic time series - from the Getulio Vargas Foundation <http://portal.fgv.br/en>, the Central Bank of Brazil <http://www.bcb.gov.br> and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics <http://www.ibge.gov.br>. It also presents tools for managing, analysing (e.g. generating dynamic reports with a complete analysis of a series) and exporting these time series.

This package implements the Bayesian paradigm for fractional polynomial models under the assumption of normally distributed error terms, see Sabanes Bove, D. and Held, L. (2011) <doi:10.1007/s11222-010-9170-7>.

This package provides functionality to automatically detect groove locations via a Bayesian changepoint detection method to be used in the data preprocessing step of forensic bullet matching algorithms. The methods in this package are based on those in Stephens (1994) <doi:10.2307/2986119>. Bayesian changepoint detection will simply be an option in the function from the package bulletxtrctr which identifies the groove locations.

Model selection by bootstrapping the stepAIC() procedure.

Preprocessing tools and biodiversity measures (species abundance, species richness, population heterogeneity and sensitivity) for analysing marine benthic data. See Van Loon et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.seares.2015.05.002> for an application of these tools.

Generate the James Blinding Index, as described in James et al (1996) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8841652/> and the Bang Blinding Index, as described in Bang et al (2004) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15020033/>. These are measures to assess whether or not satisfactory blinding has been maintained in a randomized, controlled, clinical trial. These can be generated for trial subjects, research coordinators and principal investigators, based upon standardized questionnaires that have been administered, to assess whether or not they can correctly guess to which treatment arm (e.g. placebo or treatment) subjects were assigned at randomization.

Analysis of gene expression RNA-seq data using Bartlett-Adjusted Likelihood-based LInear model (BALLI). Based on likelihood ratio test, it provides comparisons for effect of one or more variables. See Kyungtaek Park (2018) <doi:10.1101/344929> for more information.

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.

Beta version of Bayesian Inference (BI) using python and BI. It aims to unify the modeling experience by providing an intuitive model-building syntax together with the flexibility of low-level abstraction coding. It also includes pre-built functions for high-level abstraction and supports hardware-accelerated computation for improved scalability, including parallelization, vectorization, and execution on CPU, GPU, or TPU.

This package provides tools to deploy R web server applications that follow the _server.yml standard. This standard allows different R server frameworks ('plumber2', fiery', etc.) to be deployed using a common interface. The package supports deployment to DigitalOcean and includes validation tools to ensure _server.yml files are correctly formatted.

The Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (MGARCH) models are used for modelling the volatile multivariate data sets. In this package a variant of MGARCH called BEKK (Baba, Engle, Kraft, Kroner) proposed by Engle and Kroner (1995) <http://www.jstor.org/stable/3532933> has been used to estimate the bivariate time series data using Bayesian technique.

Simultaneously clusters the Periodontal diseases (PD) patients and their tooth sites after taking the patient- and site-level covariates into consideration. BAREB uses the determinantal point process (DPP) prior to induce diversity among different biclusters to facilitate parsimony and interpretability. Essentially, BAREB is a cluster-wise linear model based on Yuliang (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8536>.

This package provides a backward-pipe operator for magrittr (%<%) or pipeR (%<<%) that allows for a performing operations from right-to-left. This allows writing more legible code where right-to-left ordering is natural. This is common with hierarchies and nested structures such as trees, directories or markup languages (e.g. HTML and XML). The package also includes a R-Studio add-in that can be bound to a keyboard shortcut.

BayesX performs Bayesian inference in structured additive regression (STAR) models. The R package BayesXsrc provides the BayesX command line tool for easy installation. A convenient R interface is provided in package R2BayesX.

Propagate uncertainty from several estimates when combining these estimates via a function. This is done by using the parametric bootstrap to simulate values from the distribution of each estimate to build up an empirical distribution of the combined parameter. Finally either the percentile method is used or the highest density interval is chosen to derive a confidence interval for the combined parameter with the desired coverage. Gaussian copulas are used for when parameters are assumed to be dependent / correlated. References: Davison and Hinkley (1997,ISBN:0-521-57471-4) for the parametric bootstrap and percentile method, Gelman et al. (2014,ISBN:978-1-4398-4095-5) for the highest density interval, Stockdale et al. (2020)<doi:10.1016/j.jhep.2020.04.008> for an example of combining conditional prevalences.

Fully Bayesian Classification with a subset of high-dimensional features, such as expression levels of genes. The data are modeled with a hierarchical Bayesian models using heavy-tailed t distributions as priors. When a large number of features are available, one may like to select only a subset of features to use, typically those features strongly correlated with the response in training cases. Such a feature selection procedure is however invalid since the relationship between the response and the features has be exaggerated by feature selection. This package provides a way to avoid this bias and yield better-calibrated predictions for future cases when one uses F-statistic to select features.

Bayesian regularization for feed-forward neural networks.

Specify and fit the Bradley-Terry model, including structured versions in which the parameters are related to explanatory variables through a linear predictor and versions with contest-specific effects, such as a home advantage.

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.
