This package provides a unified framework for optimizing basket trial designs. To this end, the package supplies several utility functions and also a function for executing optimization algorithms on basket trial designs. The considered utility functions are discussed in Sauer et al. (2025) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0323097>.

Density, distribution function, quantile function random generation and estimation of bimodal GEV distribution given in Otiniano et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s10651-023-00566-7>. This new generalization of the well-known GEV (Generalized Extreme Value) distribution is useful for modeling heterogeneous bimodal data from different areas.

Extract data from Birdscan MR1 SQL vertical-looking radar databases, filter, and process them to Migration Traffic Rates (#objects per hour and km) or density (#objects per km3) of, for example birds, and insects. Object classifications in the Birdscan MR1 databases are based on the dataset of Haest et al. (2021) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.5734960>). Migration Traffic Rates and densities can be calculated separately for different height bins (with a height resolution of choice) as well as over time periods of choice (e.g., 1/2 hour, 1 hour, 1 day, day/night, the full time period of observation, and anything in between). Two plotting functions are also included to explore the data in the SQL databases and the resulting Migration Traffic Rate results. For details on the Migration Traffic Rate calculation procedures, see Schmid et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/ecog.04025>.

Interact with the Brandwatch API <https://developers.brandwatch.com/docs>. Allows you to authenticate to the API and obtain data for projects, queries, query groups tags and categories. Also allows you to directly obtain mentions and aggregate data for a specified query or query group.

This package provides a system to build, visualise and evaluate Bayesian belief networks. The methods are described in Stafford et al. (2015) <doi:10.12688/f1000research.5981.1>.

Fits Bayesian models (amongst others) to dissolution data sets that can be used for dissolution testing. The package was originally constructed to include only the Bayesian models outlined in Pourmohamad et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12535>. However, additional Bayesian and non-Bayesian models (based on bootstrapping and generalized pivotal quanties) have also been added. More models may be added over time.

These are miscellaneous functions for working with panel data, quantiles, and printing results. For panel data, the package includes functions for making a panel data balanced (that is, dropping missing individuals that have missing observations in any time period), converting id numbers to row numbers, and to treat repeated cross sections as panel data under the assumption of rank invariance. For quantiles, there are functions to make distribution functions from a set of data points (this is particularly useful when a distribution function is created in several steps), to combine distribution functions based on some external weights, and to invert distribution functions. Finally, there are several other miscellaneous functions for obtaining weighted means, weighted distribution functions, and weighted quantiles; to generate summary statistics and their differences for two groups; and to add or drop covariates from formulas.

Calculates the Boltzmann entropy of a landscape gradient. This package uses the analytical method created by Gao, P., Zhang, H. and Li, Z., 2018 (<doi:10.1111/tgis.12315>) and by Gao, P. and Li, Z., 2019 (<doi:10.1007/s10980-019-00854-3>). It also extend the original ideas by allowing calculations on data with missing values.

Create randomizations for block random clinical trials. Can also produce a pdf file of randomization cards.

Bone Profiler is a scientific method and a software used to model bone section for paleontological and ecological studies. See Girondot and Laurin (2003) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280021178_Bone_profiler_A_tool_to_quantify_model_and_statistically_compare_bone-section_compactness_profiles> and Gônet, Laurin and Girondot (2022) <https://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2022/3590-bone-section-compactness-model>.

Working with reproducible reports or any other similar projects often require to run the script that builds the output file in a specified way. buildr can help you organize, modify and comfortably run those scripts. The package provides a set of functions that interactively guides you through the process and that are available as RStudio Addin, meaning you can set up the keyboard shortcuts, enabling you to choose and run the desired build script with one keystroke anywhere anytime.

This package provides functions to compute pair-wise dissimilarities (distance matrices) and multiple-site dissimilarities, separating the turnover and nestedness-resultant components of taxonomic (incidence and abundance based), functional and phylogenetic beta diversity.

This package provides a lightweight package to access spatial basemaps from open sources such as OpenStreetMap', Carto', Mapbox and others in R.

Propagate uncertainty from several estimates when combining these estimates via a function. This is done by using the parametric bootstrap to simulate values from the distribution of each estimate to build up an empirical distribution of the combined parameter. Finally either the percentile method is used or the highest density interval is chosen to derive a confidence interval for the combined parameter with the desired coverage. Gaussian copulas are used for when parameters are assumed to be dependent / correlated. References: Davison and Hinkley (1997,ISBN:0-521-57471-4) for the parametric bootstrap and percentile method, Gelman et al. (2014,ISBN:978-1-4398-4095-5) for the highest density interval, Stockdale et al. (2020)<doi:10.1016/j.jhep.2020.04.008> for an example of combining conditional prevalences.

This package provides a way to simulate from the prior distribution of Bayesian trees by Chipman et al. (1998) <DOI:10.2307/2669832>. The prior distribution of Bayesian trees is highly dependent on the design matrix X, therefore using the suggested hyperparameters by Chipman et al. (1998) <DOI:10.2307/2669832> is not recommended and could lead to unexpected prior distribution. This work is part of my master thesis (expected 2016).
