This package provides tools to model and forecast multivariate time series including Bayesian Vector heterogeneous autoregressive (VHAR) model by Kim & Baek (2023) (<doi:10.1080/00949655.2023.2281644>). bvhar can model Vector Autoregressive (VAR), VHAR, Bayesian VAR (BVAR), and Bayesian VHAR (BVHAR) models.

Assists in the set-up of algorithms for Bayesian inference of vector autoregressive (VAR) and error correction (VEC) models. Functions for posterior simulation, forecasting, impulse response analysis and forecast error variance decomposition are largely based on the introductory texts of Chan, Koop, Poirier and Tobias (2019, ISBN: 9781108437493), Koop and Korobilis (2010) <doi:10.1561/0800000013> and Luetkepohl (2006, ISBN: 9783540262398).

An umbrella package providing a phenotype/genotype data structure and scalable and efficient computational methods for large genomic datasets in combination with several other packages: BEDMatrix', LinkedMatrix', and symDMatrix'.

An implementation of the Bayesian version of the Mallows rank model (Vitelli et al., Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2018 <https://jmlr.org/papers/v18/15-481.html>; Crispino et al., Annals of Applied Statistics, 2019 <doi:10.1214/18-AOAS1203>; Sorensen et al., R Journal, 2020 <doi:10.32614/RJ-2020-026>; Stein, PhD Thesis, 2023 <https://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/id/eprint/195759>). Both Metropolis-Hastings and sequential Monte Carlo algorithms for estimating the models are available. Cayley, footrule, Hamming, Kendall, Spearman, and Ulam distances are supported in the models. The rank data to be analyzed can be in the form of complete rankings, top-k rankings, partially missing rankings, as well as consistent and inconsistent pairwise preferences. Several functions for plotting and studying the posterior distributions of parameters are provided. The package also provides functions for estimating the partition function (normalizing constant) of the Mallows rank model, both with the importance sampling algorithm of Vitelli et al. and asymptotic approximation with the IPFP algorithm (Mukherjee, Annals of Statistics, 2016 <doi:10.1214/15-AOS1389>).

Facilitates some of the analyses performed in studies of behavioral economic discounting. The package supports scoring of the 27-Item Monetary Choice Questionnaire (see Kaplan et al., 2016; <doi:10.1007/s40614-016-0070-9>), calculating k values (Mazur's simple hyperbolic and exponential) using nonlinear regression, calculating various Area Under the Curve (AUC) measures, plotting regression curves for both fit-to-group and two-stage approaches, checking for unsystematic discounting (Johnson & Bickel, 2008; <doi:10.1037/1064-1297.16.3.264>) and scoring of the minute discounting task (see Koffarnus & Bickel, 2014; <doi:10.1037/a0035973>) using the Qualtrics 5-trial discounting template (see the Qualtrics Minute Discounting User Guide; <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.26495.79527>), which is also available as a .qsf file in this package.

This package provides a likelihood method is implemented to present evidence for evaluating bioequivalence (BE). The functions use bioequivalence data [area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak concentration (Cmax)] from various crossover designs commonly used in BE studies including a fully replicated, a partially replicated design, and a conventional 2x2 crossover design. They will calculate the profile likelihoods for the mean difference, total standard deviation ratio, and within subject standard deviation ratio for a test and a reference drug. A plot of a standardized profile likelihood can be generated along with the maximum likelihood estimate and likelihood intervals, which present evidence for bioequivalence. See Liping Du and Leena Choi (2015) <doi:10.1002/pst.1661>.

Select balanced and spatially balanced probability samples in multi-dimensional spaces with any prescribed inclusion probabilities. It contains fast (C++ via Rcpp) implementations of the included sampling methods. The local pivotal method by Grafström, Lundström and Schelin (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01699.x> and spatially correlated Poisson sampling by Grafström (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2011.07.003> are included. Also the cube method (for balanced sampling) and the local cube method (for doubly balanced sampling) are included, see Grafström and Tillé (2013) <doi:10.1002/env.2194>.

This package implements efficient NumPy'-like broadcasted operations for atomic and recursive arrays. In the context of operations involving 2 (or more) arrays, â broadcastingâ refers to efficiently recycling array dimensions, without making copies. Besides linking to Rcpp', broadcast does not use any external libraries in any way; broadcast was essentially made from scratch and can be installed out-of-the-box. The implementations available in broadcast include, but are not limited to, the following. 1) Broadcasted element-wise operations on any 2 arrays; they support a large set of relational, arithmetic, Boolean, string, and bit-wise operations. 2) A faster, more memory efficient, and broadcasted abind-like function, for binding arrays along an arbitrary dimension. 3) Broadcasted ifelse-like and apply-like functions. 4) Casting functions, that cast subset-groups of an array to a new dimension, cast nested lists to dimensional lists, and vice-versa. 5) A few linear algebra functions for statistics. The functions in the broadcast package strive to minimize computation time and memory usage (which is not just better for efficient computing, but also for the environment).

This package provides tools to design best-worst scaling designs (i.e., balanced incomplete block designs) and to analyze data from these designs, using aggregate and individual methods such as: difference scores, Louviere, Lings, Islam, Gudergan, & Flynn (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.ijresmar.2012.10.002>; analytical estimation, Lipovetsky & Conklin (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.jocm.2014.02.001>; empirical Bayes, Lipovetsky & Conklin (2015) <doi:10.1142/S1793536915500028>; Elo, Hollis (2018) <doi:10.3758/s13428-017-0898-2>; and network-based measures.

Theoretical details regarding the models implemented in the package can be found in Castellares et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.apm.2017.12.014> and Lemonte et al.

Fits a piecewise exponential hazard to survival data using a Hierarchical Bayesian model with an Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive formulation for the spatial dependency in the hazard rates for each piece. This function uses Metropolis- Hastings-Green MCMC to allow the number of split points to vary and also uses Stochastic Search Variable Selection to determine what covariates drive the risk of the event. This function outputs trace plots depicting the number of split points in the hazard and the number of variables included in the hazard. The function saves all posterior quantities to the desired path.

Asymptotic simultaneous confidence intervals for comparison of many treatments with one control, for the difference of binomial proportions, allows for Dunnett-like-adjustment, Bonferroni or unadjusted intervals.

Exact conditional maximum test for many-to-one comparisons to a control.

This package provides functions to specify, fit and visualize nested partially-latent class models ( Wu, Deloria-Knoll, Hammitt, and Zeger (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12101>; Wu, Deloria-Knoll, and Zeger (2017) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxw037>; Wu and Chen (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.8804>) for inference of population disease etiology and individual diagnosis. In the motivating Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) study, because both quantities of interest sum to one hundred percent, the PERCH scientists frequently refer to them as population etiology pie and individual etiology pie, hence the name of the package.

It contains utilities to combine multiple areas to one single polygon and to find neighbours for single regions. For any point on a map, a special locator can be used to determine to which municipality, district or canton it belongs.
