This package provides a molecular genetics tool that processes binary data from fragment analysis. It consolidates replicate sample pairs, outputs summary statistics, and produces hierarchical clustering trees and nMDS plots. This package was developed from the publication available here: <doi:10.1016/j.biocontrol.2020.104426>. The GUI version of this package is available on the R Shiny online server at: <https://clarkevansteenderen.shinyapps.io/BINMAT/> or it is accessible via GitHub by typing: shiny::runGitHub("BinMat", "clarkevansteenderen") into the console in R. Two real-world datasets accompany the package: an AFLP dataset of Bunias orientalis samples from Tewes et. al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/1365-2745.12869>, and an ISSR dataset of Nymphaea specimens from Reid et. al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.aquabot.2021.103372>. The authors of these publications are thanked for allowing the use of their data.

The core algorithm is described in "Ball mapper: a shape summary for topological data analysis" by Pawel Dlotko, (2019) <arXiv:1901.07410>. Please consult the following youtube video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9Dm1nl_zSQfor> the idea of functionality. Ball Mapper provide a topologically accurate summary of a data in a form of an abstract graph. To create it, please provide the coordinates of points (in the points array), values of a function of interest at those points (can be initialized randomly if you do not have it) and the value epsilon which is the radius of the ball in the Ball Mapper construction. It can be understood as the minimal resolution on which we use to create the model of the data.

This package provides functions to plot and help understand positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV), and their relationship with sensitivity, specificity, and prevalence. See Akobeng, A.K. (2007) <doi:10.1111/j.1651-2227.2006.00180.x> for a theoretical overview of the technical concepts and Navarrete et al.

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.

Fitting Bayesian multiple and mixed-effect regression models for circular data based on the projected normal distribution. Both continuous and categorical predictors can be included. Sampling from the posterior is performed via an MCMC algorithm. Posterior descriptives of all parameters, model fit statistics and Bayes factors for hypothesis tests for inequality constrained hypotheses are provided. See Cremers, Mulder & Klugkist (2018) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12108> and Nuñez-Antonio & Guttiérez-Peña (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2012.07.025>.

Flags and checks occurrence data that are in Darwin Core format. The package includes generic functions and data as well as some that are specific to bees. This package is meant to build upon and be complimentary to other excellent occurrence cleaning packages, including bdc and CoordinateCleaner'. This package uses datasets from several sources and particularly from the Discover Life Website, created by Ascher and Pickering (2020). For further information, please see the original publication and package website. Publication - Dorey et al. (2023) <doi:10.1101/2023.06.30.547152> and package website - Dorey et al.

This package implements Bayesian marginal structural models for causal effect estimation with time-varying treatment and confounding. It includes an extension to handle informative right censoring. The Bayesian importance sampling weights are estimated using JAGS. See Saarela (2015) <doi:10.1111/biom.12269> for methodological details.

This package implements the First Fit Decreasing algorithm to achieve one dimensional heuristic bin packing. Runtime is of order O(n log(n)) where n is the number of items to pack. See "The Art of Computer Programming Vol. 1" by Donald E. Knuth (1997, ISBN: 0201896834) for more details.

This package provides a random forest variant block forest ('BlockForest') tailored to the prediction of binary, survival and continuous outcomes using block-structured covariate data, for example, clinical covariates plus measurements of a certain omics data type or multi-omics data, that is, data for which measurements of different types of omics data and/or clinical data for each patient exist. Examples of different omics data types include gene expression measurements, mutation data and copy number variation measurements. Block forest are presented in Hornung & Wright (2019). The package includes four other random forest variants for multi-omics data: RandomBlock', BlockVarSel', VarProb', and SplitWeights'. These were also considered in Hornung & Wright (2019), but performed worse than block forest in their comparison study based on 20 real multi-omics data sets. Therefore, we recommend to use block forest ('BlockForest') in applications. The other random forest variants can, however, be consulted for academic purposes, for example, in the context of further methodological developments. Reference: Hornung, R. & Wright, M. N. (2019) Block Forests: random forests for blocks of clinical and omics covariate data. BMC Bioinformatics 20:358. <doi:10.1186/s12859-019-2942-y>.

This package implements Bayesian dynamic factor analysis with Stan'. Dynamic factor analysis is a dimension reduction tool for multivariate time series. bayesdfa extends conventional dynamic factor models in several ways. First, extreme events may be estimated in the latent trend by modeling process error with a student-t distribution. Second, alternative constraints (including proportions are allowed). Third, the estimated dynamic factors can be analyzed with hidden Markov models to evaluate support for latent regimes.

Estimation of latent variable models using Bayesian methods. Currently estimates the loglinear cognitive diagnosis model of Henson, Templin, and Willse (2009) <doi:10.1007/s11336-008-9089-5>.

This package provides an Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo algorithm for Bayesian t-tests on the effect size. The underlying Gibbs sampler is based on a two-component Gaussian mixture and approximates the posterior distributions of the effect size, the difference of means and difference of standard deviations. A posterior analysis of the effect size via the region of practical equivalence is provided, too. For more details about the Gibbs sampler see Kelter (2019) <arXiv:1906.07524>.

MDS is a statistic tool for reduction of dimensionality, using as input a distance matrix of dimensions n à n. When n is large, classical algorithms suffer from computational problems and MDS configuration can not be obtained. With this package, we address these problems by means of six algorithms, being two of them original proposals: - Landmark MDS proposed by De Silva V. and JB. Tenenbaum (2004). - Interpolation MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Reduced MDS proposed by Paradis E (2018). - Pivot MDS proposed by Brandes U. and C. Pich (2007) - Divide-and-conquer MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Fast MDS, proposed by Yang, T., J. Liu, L. McMillan and W. Wang (2006).
