Fits Bayesian hierarchical spatial and spatial-temporal process models for point-referenced Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, and binary data using stacking of predictive densities. It involves sampling from analytically available posterior distributions conditional upon candidate values of the spatial process parameters and, subsequently assimilate inference from these individual posterior distributions using Bayesian predictive stacking. Our algorithm is highly parallelizable and hence, much faster than traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms while delivering competitive predictive performance. See Zhang, Tang, and Banerjee (2025) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2025.2566449>, and, Pan, Zhang, Bradley, and Banerjee (2025) <doi:10.1214/25-BA1582> for details.

Applicable references are available in README.md and in the documentation for the get_sentiment function. The package also provides a hack for implementing Stanford's coreNLP sentiment parser. The package provides several methods for plot arc normalization.

R7RS-small Scheme library for reading and writing RSV data format, a very simple binary format for storing tables of strings. It is a competitor for CSV (Comma Separated Values) and TSV (Tab Separated Values). Its main benefit is that the strings are represented as Unicode encoded as UTF-8, and the value and row separators are byte values that are never used in UTF-8, so the strings do not need any error prone escaping and thus can be written and read verbatim.

The RSV format is specified in https://github.com/Stenway/RSV-Specification.

The barbieQ package provides a series of robust statistical tools for analysing barcode count data generated from cell clonal tracking (i.e., lineage tracing) experiments. In these experiments, an initial cell and its offspring collectively form a clone (i.e., lineage). A unique barcode sequence, incorporated into the DNA of the inital cell, is inherited within the clone. This one-to-one mapping of barcodes to clones enables clonal tracking of their behaviors. By counting barcodes, researchers can quantify the population abundance of individual clones under specific experimental perturbations. barbieQ supports barcode count data preprocessing, statistical testing, and visualization.

Drop-in replacement for BiocNeighbors::findKNN using the jvecfor Java library, which builds on the jvector library to leverage the Java Vector API for portable SIMD acceleration across AVX2, AVX-512, and ARM NEON hardware. jvecfor/jvector implements HNSW-DiskANN approximate search and VP-tree exact search. The package achieves approximately 2x speedup over Annoy-based search at n >= 50K cells while returning output structurally identical to BiocNeighbors, making it suitable for seamless integration into existing Bioconductor single-cell workflows. Convenience wrappers delegate shared nearest-neighbor (SNN) and k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) graph construction to the bluster package.

Biological inferences obtained from molecular data are only as good as the extent of evolutionary signatures retained in the genetic data. Techniques available to quantify these signatures are largely targeted towards phylogeny reconstruction and they often rely on adhoc hypothesis tests of significance. I present a Bayesian function that assesses whether a set of genetic sequences are saturated. That is, it is useful for determining whether the evolutionary information in the sequences has eroded with time. Site specific Bayes factors are generated with respect to codon bases to allow for straightforward applications in extensive computational biology inquiries, including natural selection analyses.

sRACIPE implements a randomization-based method for gene circuit modeling. It allows us to study the effect of both the gene expression noise and the parametric variation on any gene regulatory circuit (GRC) using only its topology, and simulates an ensemble of models with random kinetic parameters at multiple noise levels. Statistical analysis of the generated gene expressions reveals the basin of attraction and stability of various phenotypic states and their changes associated with intrinsic and extrinsic noises. sRACIPE provides a holistic picture to evaluate the effects of both the stochastic nature of cellular processes and the parametric variation.

This package provides a series of wrapper functions to implement the 10 maximum likelihood models of animal orientation described by Schnute and Groot (1992) <DOI:10.1016/S0003-3472(05)80068-5>. The functions also include the ability to use different optimizer methods and calculate various model selection metrics (i.e., AIC, AICc, BIC). The ability to perform variants of the Hermans-Rasson test and Pycke test is also included as described in Landler et al. (2019) <DOI:10.1186/s12898-019-0246-8>. The latest version also includes a new method to calculate circular-circular and circular-linear distance correlations.

Readable, complete and pretty graphs for multiple correspondence analysis, correspondence analysis and principal component analysis made with FactoMineR'. They can be rendered as interactive HTML plots, showing useful information at mouse hover. The interest is not mainly visual but statistical. It helps the reader to keep in mind the data contained in the cross-table or Burt table while reading the correspondence analysis, thus preventing over-interpretation. Most graphs are made with ggplot2', which means that you can use the + syntax to manually add as many graphical pieces you want, or change theme elements. 3D graphs are made with plotly'.

This package provides a program that conducts group variable selection for quantile and robust mean regression (Sherwood and Li, 2022). The group lasso penalty (Yuan and Lin, 2006) is used for group-wise variable selection. Both of the quantile and mean regression models are based on the Huber loss. Specifically, with the tuning parameter in the Huber loss approaching to 0, the quantile check function can be approximated by the Huber loss for the median and the tilted version of Huber loss at other quantiles. Such approximation provides computational efficiency and stability, and has also been shown to be statistical consistent.

Trend filtering is a widely used nonparametric method for knot detection. This package provides an efficient solution for L0 trend filtering, avoiding the traditional methods of using Lagrange duality or Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers algorithms. It employ a splicing approach that minimizes L0-regularized sparse approximation by transforming the L0 trend filtering problem. The package excels in both efficiency and accuracy of trend estimation and changepoint detection in segmented functions. References: Wen et al. (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i04>; Zhu et al.

This is a analysis toolkit to streamline the analyses of minicircle sequence diversity in population-scale genome projects. rKOMICS is a user-friendly R package that has simple installation requirements and that is applicable to all 27 trypanosomatid genera. Once minicircle sequence alignments are generated, rKOMICS allows to examine, summarize and visualize minicircle sequence diversity within and between samples through the analyses of minicircle sequence clusters. We showcase the functionalities of the (r)KOMICS tool suite using a whole-genome sequencing dataset from a recently published study on the history of diversification of the Leishmania braziliensis species complex in Peru. Analyses of population diversity and structure highlighted differences in minicircle sequence richness and composition between Leishmania subspecies, and between subpopulations within subspecies. The rKOMICS package establishes a critical framework to manipulate, explore and extract biologically relevant information from mitochondrial minicircle assemblies in tens to hundreds of samples simultaneously and efficiently. This should facilitate research that aims to develop new molecular markers for identifying species-specific minicircles, or to study the ancestry of parasites for complementary insights into their evolutionary history. ***** !! WARNING: this package relies on dependencies from Bioconductor. For Mac users, this can generate errors when installing rKOMICS. Install Bioconductor and ComplexHeatmap at advance: install.packages("BiocManager"); BiocManager::install("ComplexHeatmap") *****.

The package encapsulates data management, transformation, and analysis into a single SummarizedExperiment object, offering downstream tools for dimensionality reduction via PCA, calculating critical metrics like the Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) and Modularity to quantify sample grouping quality, and generating high-quality visualizations like heatmaps and scatter plots.

Pipeline for Statistical Inference of Associations between Microbial Communities And host phenoTypes (SIAMCAT). A primary goal of analyzing microbiome data is to determine changes in community composition that are associated with environmental factors. In particular, linking human microbiome composition to host phenotypes such as diseases has become an area of intense research. For this, robust statistical modeling and biomarker extraction toolkits are crucially needed. SIAMCAT provides a full pipeline supporting data preprocessing, statistical association testing, statistical modeling (LASSO logistic regression) including tools for evaluation and interpretation of these models (such as cross validation, parameter selection, ROC analysis and diagnostic model plots).

Compares the fit of alternative models of continuous trait differentiation between sister species and other paired lineages. Differences in trait means between two lineages arise as they diverge from a common ancestor, and alternative processes of evolutionary divergence are expected to leave unique signatures in the distribution of trait differentiation in datasets comprised of many lineage pairs. Models include approximations of divergent selection, drift, and stabilizing selection. A variety of model extensions facilitate the testing of process-to-pattern hypotheses. Users supply trait data and divergence times for each lineage pair. The fit of alternative models is compared in a likelihood framework.

This package provides tools for portfolio construction and risk analytics, including mean-variance optimization, conditional value at risk (expected shortfall) minimization, risk parity, regime clustering, correlation analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and option pricing.

Fits matrix-variate variance-gamma (MVVG) and matrix-variate normal-inverse-Gaussian (MVNIG) linear regression models using expectation-conditional maximization (ECM) algorithms. The models accommodate clustered matrix-valued responses, with unequal numbers of observations across subjects, correlated responses, skewness, and within-subject dependence. Functions are provided for model fitting, prediction, and subject-level influence assessment using approximate generalized Cook's distances. The package also includes motivating periodontal data from Gullah-speaking African Americans with Type-II diabetes. For details on the underlying matrix-variate distributions (MVVG and MVNIG), see Gallaugher and McNicholas (2019, <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2018.08.012>).

Based on the work of Curi, Converse, Hajewski, and Oliveira (2019) <doi:10.1109/IJCNN.2019.8852333>. This package provides easy-to-use functions which create a variational autoencoder (VAE) to be used for parameter estimation in Item Response Theory (IRT) - namely the Multidimensional Logistic 2-Parameter (ML2P) model. To use a neural network as such, nontrivial modifications to the architecture must be made, such as restricting the nonzero weights in the decoder according to some binary matrix Q. The functions in this package allow for straight-forward construction, training, and evaluation so that minimal knowledge of tensorflow or keras is required.
