The generated wealth of immune repertoire sequencing data requires software to investigate and quantify inter- and intra-antibody repertoire evolution to uncover how B cells evolve during immune responses. Here, we present AntibodyForests', a software to investigate and quantify inter- and intra-antibody repertoire evolution.

These functions provide converters between raster specifications, world vector, geotransform, RasterIO window, and RasterIO window in sf package list format. There are functions to offset a matrix by padding any of four corners (useful for vectorizing neighbourhood operations), and helper functions to harvesting user clicks on a graphics device to use for simple georeferencing of images. Methods used are available from <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file> and <https://gdal.org/user/raster_data_model.html>.

Description: Computes maximum likelihood estimates of general, zero-inflated, and zero-altered models for discrete and continuous distributions. It also performs Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests and likelihood ratio tests for general, zero-inflated, and zero-altered data. Additionally, it obtains the inverse of the Fisher information matrix and confidence intervals for the parameters of general, zero-inflated, and zero-altered models. The package simulates random deviates from zero-inflated or hurdle models to obtain maximum likelihood estimates. Based on the work of Aldirawi et al. (2022) <doi:10.1007/s42519-021-00230-y> and Dousti Mousavi et al. (2023) <doi:10.1080/00949655.2023.2207020>.

This package provides a collection of methods for both the rank-based estimates and least-square estimates to the Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) model. For rank-based estimation, it provides approaches that include the computationally efficient Gehan's weight and the general's weight such as the logrank weight. Details of the rank-based estimation can be found in Chiou et al. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11222-013-9388-2> and Chiou et al. (2015) <doi:10.1002/sim.6415>. For the least-square estimation, the estimating equation is solved with generalized estimating equations (GEE). Moreover, in multivariate cases, the dependence working correlation structure can be specified in GEE's setting. Details on the least-squares estimation can be found in Chiou et al. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s10985-014-9292-x>.

This package provides tools for assessing and selecting auxiliary variables using LASSO. The package includes functions for variable selection and diagnostics, facilitating survey calibration analysis with emphasis on robust auxiliary vector selection. For more details see Tibshirani (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02080.x> and Caughrey and Hartman (2017) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3494436>.

This package provides a lightweight, dependency-free toolbox for pre-processing XY data from experimental methods (i.e. any signal that can be measured along a continuous variable). This package provides methods for baseline estimation and correction, smoothing, normalization, integration and peaks detection. Baseline correction methods includes polynomial fitting as described in Lieber and Mahadevan-Jansen (2003) <doi:10.1366/000370203322554518>, Rolling Ball algorithm after Kneen and Annegarn (1996) <doi:10.1016/0168-583X(95)00908-6>, SNIP algorithm after Ryan et al. (1988) <doi:10.1016/0168-583X(88)90063-8>, 4S Peak Filling after Liland (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.mex.2015.02.009> and more.

The use of structured elicitation to inform decision making has grown dramatically in recent decades, however, judgements from multiple experts must be aggregated into a single estimate. Empirical evidence suggests that mathematical aggregation provides more reliable estimates than enforcing behavioural consensus on group estimates. aggreCAT provides state-of-the-art mathematical aggregation methods for elicitation data including those defined in Hanea, A. et al. (2021) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0256919>. The package also provides functions to visualise and evaluate the performance of your aggregated estimates on validation data.

Generate code for use with the Optical Mark Recognition free software Auto Multiple Choice (AMC). More specifically, this package provides functions that use as input the question and answer texts, and output the LaTeX code for AMC.

This package provides alternatives to the normal adjusted R-squared estimator for the estimation of the multiple squared correlation in regression models, as fitted by the lm() function. The alternative estimators are described in Karch (2020) <DOI:10.1525/collabra.343>.

Default error messages are user friendly and easily customized with inline code evaluation and styling powered by the cli package.

Epidemiological population dynamics models traditionally define a pathogen's virulence as the increase in the per capita rate of mortality of infected hosts due to infection. This package provides functions allowing virulence to be estimated by maximum likelihood techniques. The approach is based on the analysis of relative survival comparing survival in matching cohorts of infected vs. uninfected hosts (Agnew 2019) <doi:10.1101/530709>.

This package provides functions to produce accessible HTML slides, HTML', Word and PDF documents from input R markdown files. Accessible PDF files are produced only on a Windows Operating System. One aspect of accessibility is providing a headings structure that is recognised by a screen reader, providing a navigational tool for a blind or partially-sighted person. A key aim is to produce documents of different formats easily from each of a collection of R markdown source files. Input R markdown files are rendered using the render() function from the rmarkdown package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=rmarkdown>. A zip file containing multiple output files can be produced from one function call. A user-supplied template Word document can be used to determine the formatting of an output Word document. Accessible PDF files are produced from Word documents using OfficeToPDF <https://github.com/cognidox/OfficeToPDF>. A convenience function, install_otp() is provided to install this software. The option to print HTML output to (non-accessible) PDF files is also available.

With the functions in this package you can check the validity of the Greek Tax Identification Number (AFM) and the Greek Personal Number (PA) <https://pa.gov.gr>. The PA is a new universal ID for Greek citizens across all public services and it is to replace older numbers issued by various Greek state agencies. Its format is a 12-character ID consisting of three alphanumeric characters followed by the nine numerical digits of the AFM.

This package provides functions for estimating the attributable burden of disease due to risk factors. The posterior simulation is performed using arm::sim as described in Gelman, Hill (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511790942> and the attributable burden method is based on Nielsen, Krause, Molbak <doi:10.1111/irv.12564>.

This package provides a thin wrapper around the ajv JSON validation package for JavaScript. See <http://epoberezkin.github.io/ajv/> for details.

This package performs linear regression with respect to a data-driven convex loss function that is chosen to minimize the asymptotic covariance of the resulting M-estimator. The convex loss function is estimated in 5 steps: (1) form an initial OLS (ordinary least squares) or LAD (least absolute deviation) estimate of the regression coefficients; (2) use the resulting residuals to obtain a kernel estimator of the error density; (3) estimate the score function of the errors by differentiating the logarithm of the kernel density estimate; (4) compute the L2 projection of the estimated score function onto the set of decreasing functions; (5) take a negative antiderivative of the projected score function estimate. Newton's method (with Hessian modification) is then used to minimize the convex empirical risk function. Further details of the method are given in Feng et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2403.16688>.
