This app provides some useful tools for Offering an accessible GUI for generalised blockmodeling of single-relation, one-mode networks. The user can execute blockmodeling without having to write a line code by using the app's visual helps. Moreover, there are several ways to visualisations networks and their partitions. Finally, the results can be exported as if they were produced by writing code. The development of this package is financially supported by the Slovenian Research Agency (www.arrs.gov.si) within the research project J5-2557 (Comparison and evaluation of different approaches to blockmodeling dynamic networks by simulations with application to Slovenian co-authorship networks).

Enables off-the-shelf functionality for fully Bayesian, nonstationary Gaussian process modeling. The approach to nonstationary modeling involves a closed-form, convolution-based covariance function with spatially-varying parameters; these parameter processes can be specified either deterministically (using covariates or basis functions) or stochastically (using approximate Gaussian processes). Stationary Gaussian processes are a special case of our methodology, and we furthermore implement approximate Gaussian process inference to account for very large spatial data sets (Finley, et al (2017) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1702.00434>). Bayesian inference is carried out using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods via the "nimble" package, and posterior prediction for the Gaussian process at unobserved locations is provided as a post-processing step.

Several implementations of a novel Bayesian hierarchical statistical model of nucleotide recoding RNA-seq experiments (NR-seq; TimeLapse-seq, SLAM-seq, TUC-seq, etc.) for analyzing and comparing NR-seq datasets (see Vock and Simon (2023) <doi:10.1261/rna.079451.122>). NR-seq is a powerful extension of RNA-seq that provides information about the kinetics of RNA metabolism (e.g., RNA degradation rate constants), which is notably lacking in standard RNA-seq data. The statistical model makes maximal use of these high-throughput datasets by sharing information across transcripts to significantly improve uncertainty quantification and increase statistical power. bakR includes a maximally efficient implementation of this model for conservative initial investigations of datasets. bakR also provides more highly powered implementations using the probabilistic programming language Stan to sample from the full posterior distribution. bakR performs multiple-test adjusted statistical inference with the output of these model implementations to help biologists separate signal from background. Methods to automatically visualize key results and detect batch effects are also provided.

Co-clustering of the rows and columns of a contingency or binary matrix, or double binary matrices and model selection for the number of row and column clusters. Three models are considered: the Poisson latent block model for contingency matrix, the binary latent block model for binary matrix and a new model we develop: the multiple latent block model for double binary matrices. A new procedure named bikm1 is implemented to investigate more efficiently the grid of numbers of clusters. Then, the studied model selection criteria are the integrated completed likelihood (ICL) and the Bayesian integrated likelihood (BIC). Finally, the co-clustering adjusted Rand index (CARI) to measure agreement between co-clustering partitions is implemented.

This package implements the Bayesian Synthetic Control method for causal inference in comparative case studies. This package provides tools for estimating treatment effects in settings with a single treated unit and multiple control units, allowing for uncertainty quantification and flexible modeling of time-varying effects. The methodology is based on the paper by Vives and Martinez (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2206.01779>.

Assume that a temporal process is composed of contiguous segments with differing slopes and replicated noise-corrupted time series measurements are observed. The unknown mean of the data generating process is modelled as a piecewise linear function of time with an unknown number of change-points. The package infers the joint posterior distribution of the number and position of change-points as well as the unknown mean parameters per time-series by MCMC sampling. A-priori, the proposed model uses an overfitting number of mean parameters but, conditionally on a set of change-points, only a subset of them influences the likelihood. An exponentially decreasing prior distribution on the number of change-points gives rise to a posterior distribution concentrating on sparse representations of the underlying sequence, but also available is the Poisson distribution. See Papastamoulis et al (2019) <doi:10.1515/ijb-2018-0052> for a detailed presentation of the method.

Fit Bayesian Gaussian graphical models. The methods are separated into two Bayesian approaches for inference: hypothesis testing and estimation. There are extensions for confirmatory hypothesis testing, comparing Gaussian graphical models, and node wise predictability. These methods were recently introduced in the Gaussian graphical model literature, including Williams (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/x8dpr>, Williams and Mulder (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/ypxd8>, Williams, Rast, Pericchi, and Mulder (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/yt386>.

Fit Bayesian time series models using Stan for full Bayesian inference. A wide range of distributions and models are supported, allowing users to fit Seasonal ARIMA, ARIMAX, Dynamic Harmonic Regression, GARCH, t-student innovation GARCH models, asymmetric GARCH, Random Walks, stochastic volatility models for univariate time series. Prior specifications are flexible and explicitly encourage users to apply prior distributions that actually reflect their beliefs. Model fit can easily be assessed and compared with typical visualization methods, information criteria such as loglik, AIC, BIC WAIC, Bayes factor and leave-one-out cross-validation methods.
