Calculate robust measures of effect sizes using the bootstrap.

Currently, the package provides several functions for plotting and analyzing bibliometric data (JIF, Journal Impact Factor, and paper percentile values), beamplots with citations and percentiles, and three plot functions to visualize the result of a reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) analysis performed in the free software CRExplorer (see <http://crexplorer.net>). Further extension to more plot variants is planned.

Implementation of a collection of MCMC methods for Bayesian structure learning of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), both from continuous and discrete data. For efficient inference on larger DAGs, the space of DAGs is pruned according to the data. To filter the search space, the algorithm employs a hybrid approach, combining constraint-based learning with search and score. A reduced search space is initially defined on the basis of a skeleton obtained by means of the PC-algorithm, and then iteratively improved with search and score. Search and score is then performed following two approaches: Order MCMC, or Partition MCMC. The BGe score is implemented for continuous data and the BDe score is implemented for binary data or categorical data. The algorithms may provide the maximum a posteriori (MAP) graph or a sample (a collection of DAGs) from the posterior distribution given the data. All algorithms are also applicable for structure learning and sampling for dynamic Bayesian networks. References: J. Kuipers, P. Suter, G. Moffa (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2021.2020127>, N.

Single linkage clustering and connected component analyses are often performed on biological images. Bioi provides a set of functions for performing these tasks. This functionality is implemented in several key functions that can extend to from 1 to many dimensions. The single linkage clustering method implemented here can be used on n-dimensional data sets, while connected component analyses are limited to 3 or fewer dimensions.

Some elementary matrix algebra tools are implemented to manage block matrices or partitioned matrix, i.e. "matrix of matrices" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_matrix). The block matrix is here defined as a new S3 object. In this package, some methods for "matrix" object are rewritten for "blockmatrix" object. New methods are implemented. This package was created to solve equation systems with block matrices for the analysis of environmental vector time series . Bugs/comments/questions/collaboration of any kind are warmly welcomed.

The kernelSmoothing() function allows you to square and smooth geolocated data. It calculates a classical kernel smoothing (conservative) or a geographically weighted median. There are four major call modes of the function. The first call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth) for a classical kernel smoothing and automatic grid. The second call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles) for a geographically weighted median and automatic grid. The third call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, centroids) for a classical kernel smoothing and user grid. The fourth call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles, centroids) for a geographically weighted median and user grid.

An R interface for the remote file hosting service Box (<https://www.box.com/>). In addition to uploading and downloading files, this package includes functions which mirror base R operations for local files, (e.g. box_load(), box_save(), box_read(), box_setwd(), etc.), as well as git style functions for entire directories (e.g. box_fetch(), box_push()).

Provide a sparse matrix format with data stored on disk, to be used in both R and C++. This is intended for more efficient use of sparse data in C++ and also when parallelizing, since data on disk does not need copying. Only a limited number of features will be implemented. For now, conversion can be performed from a dgCMatrix or a dsCMatrix from R package Matrix'. A new compact format is also now available.

The main functions carry out Gibbs sampler routines for nonparametric and semiparametric Bayesian models for random effects meta-analysis.

Bayesian adaptive randomization is also called outcome adaptive randomization, which is increasingly used in clinical trials.

Bootstrap resampling methods have been widely studied in the context of survey data. This package implements various bootstrap resampling techniques tailored for survey data, with a focus on stratified simple random sampling and stratified two-stage cluster sampling. It provides tools for precise and consistent bootstrap variance estimation for population totals, means, and quartiles. Additionally, it enables easy generation of bootstrap samples for in-depth analysis.

Twelve confidence intervals for one binomial proportion or a vector of binomial proportions are computed. The confidence intervals are: Jeffreys, Wald, Wald corrected, Wald, Blyth and Still, Agresti and Coull, Wilson, Score, Score corrected, Wald logit, Wald logit corrected, Arcsine and Exact binomial. References include, among others: Vollset, S. E. (1993). "Confidence intervals for a binomial proportion". Statistics in Medicine, 12(9): 809-824. <doi:10.1002/sim.4780120902>.

Bayesian networks provide an intuitive framework for probabilistic reasoning and its graphical nature can be interpreted quite clearly. Graph based methods of machine learning are becoming more popular because they offer a richer model of knowledge that can be understood by a human in a graphical format. The bnviewer is an R Package that allows the interactive visualization of Bayesian Networks. The aim of this package is to improve the Bayesian Networks visualization over the basic and static views offered by existing packages.

Estimate fish length-at-age models using MCMC analysis with rstan models. This package allows a multimodel approach to growth fitting to be applied to length-at-age data and is supported by further analyses to determine model selection and result presentation.

This package provides a two-step Bayesian approach for mode inference following Cross, Hoogerheide, Labonne and van Dijk (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.econlet.2024.111579>). First, a mixture distribution is fitted on the data using a sparse finite mixture (SFM) Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. The number of mixture components does not have to be known; the size of the mixture is estimated endogenously through the SFM approach. Second, the modes of the estimated mixture at each MCMC draw are retrieved using algorithms specifically tailored for mode detection. These estimates are then used to construct posterior probabilities for the number of modes, their locations and uncertainties, providing a powerful tool for mode inference.

Computes Bayesian posterior distributions of predictions, marginal effects, and differences of marginal effects for various generalized linear models. Importantly, the posteriors are on the mean (response) scale, allowing for more natural interpretation than summaries on the link scale. Also, predictions and marginal effects of the count probabilities for Poisson and negative binomial models can be computed.
