Two practical tests are provided for assessing whether multiple covariates in a treatment group and a matched control group are balanced in observational studies.

Implementing the Block Coordinate Ascent with One-Step Generalized Rosen (BCA1SG) algorithm on the semiparametric models for panel count data, interval-censored survival data, and degradation data. A comprehensive description of the BCA1SG algorithm can be found in Wang et al. (2020) <https://github.com/yudongstat/BCA1SG/blob/master/BCA1SG.pdf>. For details of the semiparametric models for panel count data, interval-censored survival data, and degradation data, please see Wellner and Zhang (2007) <doi:10.1214/009053607000000181>, Huang and Wellner (1997) <ISBN:978-0-387-94992-5>, and Wang and Xu (2010) <doi:10.1198/TECH.2009.08197>, respectively.

Noise filter based on determining the proportion of neighboring points. A false point will be rejected if it has only few neighbors, but accepted if the proportion of neighbors in a rectangular frame is high. The size of the rectangular frame as well as the cut-off value, i.e. of a minimum proportion of neighbor-points, may be supplied or can be calculated automatically. Originally designed for the cleaning of heart rates, but suitable for filtering any slowly-changing physiological variable.For more information see Signer (2010)<doi:10.1111/j.2041-210X.2009.00010.x>.

Fit (using Bayesian methods) and simulate mixtures of univariate and bivariate angular distributions. Chakraborty and Wong (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v099.i11>.

This package implements state-of-the-art algorithms for the Bayesian analysis of Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) identified by sign, zero, and narrative restrictions. The core model is based on a flexible Vector Autoregression with estimated hyper-parameters of the Minnesota prior and the dummy observation priors as in Giannone, Lenza, Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483>. The sign restrictions are implemented employing the methods proposed by Rubio-Ramà rez, Waggoner & Zha (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-937X.2009.00578.x>, while identification through sign and zero restrictions follows the approach developed by Arias, Rubio-Ramà rez, & Waggoner (2018) <doi:10.3982/ECTA14468>. Furthermore, our tool provides algorithms for identification via sign and narrative restrictions, in line with the methods introduced by Antolà n-Dà az and Rubio-Ramà rez (2018) <doi:10.1257/aer.20161852>. Users can also estimate a model with sign, zero, and narrative restrictions imposed at once. The package facilitates predictive and structural analyses using impulse responses, forecast error variance and historical decompositions, forecasting and conditional forecasting, as well as analyses of structural shocks and fitted values. All this is complemented by colourful plots, user-friendly summary functions, and comprehensive documentation including the vignette by Wang & Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.16711>. The bsvarSIGNs package is aligned regarding objects, workflows, and code structure with the R package bsvars by Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvars>, and they constitute an integrated toolset. It was granted the Di Cook Open-Source Statistical Software Award by the Statistical Society of Australia in 2024.

The method models RNA-seq reads using a mixture of 3 beta-binomial distributions to generate posterior probabilities for genotyping bi-allelic single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Lewis and Chris Wallace (2023) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btad393> "BBmix: a Bayesian beta-binomial mixture model for accurate genotyping from RNA-sequencing.".

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.

It computes betas-select, coefficients after standardization in structural equation models and regression models, standardizing only selected variables. Supports models with moderation, with product terms formed after standardization. It also offers confidence intervals that account for standardization, including bootstrap confidence intervals as proposed by Cheung et al. (2022) <doi:10.1037/hea0001188>.

Fits Cox model via stochastic gradient descent. This implementation avoids computational instability of the standard Cox Model when dealing large datasets. Furthermore, it scales up with large datasets that do not fit the memory. It also handles large sparse datasets using proximal stochastic gradient descent algorithm. For more details about the method, please see Aliasghar Tarkhan and Noah Simon (2020) <arXiv:2003.00116v2>.

Function bipmod() that partitions a bipartite network into non-overlapping biclusters by maximizing bipartite modularity defined in Barber (2007) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.76.066102> using the bipartite version of the algorithm described in Treviño (2015) <doi:10.1088/1742-5468/2015/02/P02003>.

Allows to compare the goodness of fit of Benford's and Blondeau Da Silva's digit distributions in a dataset. It is used to check whether the data distribution is consistent with theoretical distributions highlighted by Blondeau Da Silva or not (through the dat.distr() function): this ideal theoretical distribution must be at least approximately followed by the data for the use of Blondeau Da Silva's model to be well-founded. It also enables to plot histograms of digit distributions, both observed in the dataset and given by the two theoretical approaches (with the digit.ditr() function). Finally, it proposes to quantify the goodness of fit via Pearson's chi-squared test (with the chi2() function).

Computes uniform bounds on the distance between the cumulative distribution function of a standardized sum of random variables and its first-order Edgeworth expansion, following the article Derumigny, Girard, Guyonvarch (2023) <doi:10.1007/s13171-023-00320-y>.

This package provides a suite of open-source R functions designed to produce standard metrics for forest management and ecology from forest inventory data. The overarching goal is to minimize potential inconsistencies introduced by the algorithms used to compute and summarize core forest metrics.

Resurrects the standard plot for shapes established by the base and graphics packages. This is suited to workflows that require plotting using the established and traditional idioms of plotting spatially coincident data where it belongs. This package depends on sf and only replaces the plot method.

Bayesian hierarchical methods for the detection of differences in rates of related outcomes for multiple treatments for clustered observations (Carragher et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8563>). This software was developed for the Precision Drug Theraputics: Risk Prediction in Pharmacoepidemiology project as part of a Rutherford Fund Fellowship at Health Data Research (UK), Medical Research Council (UK) award reference MR/S003967/1 (<https://gtr.ukri.org/>). Principal Investigator: Raymond Carragher.

This package implements the Bayesian Augmented Control (BAC, a.k.a. Bayesian historical data borrowing) method under clinical trial setting by calling Just Another Gibbs Sampler ('JAGS') software. In addition, the BACCT package evaluates user-specified decision rules by computing the type-I error/power, or probability of correct go/no-go decision at interim look. The evaluation can be presented numerically or graphically. Users need to have JAGS 4.0.0 or newer installed due to a compatibility issue with rjags package. Currently, the package implements the BAC method for binary outcome only. Support for continuous and survival endpoints will be added in future releases. We would like to thank AbbVie's Statistical Innovation group and Clinical Statistics group for their support in developing the BACCT package.

Bayesian quantile regression using the asymmetric Laplace distribution, both continuous as well as binary dependent variables are supported. The package consists of implementations of the methods of Yu & Moyeed (2001) <doi:10.1016/S0167-7152(01)00124-9>, Benoit & Van den Poel (2012) <doi:10.1002/jae.1216> and Al-Hamzawi, Yu & Benoit (2012) <doi:10.1177/1471082X1101200304>. To speed up the calculations, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo core of all algorithms is programmed in Fortran and called from R.
