Allows to compare the goodness of fit of Benford's and Blondeau Da Silva's digit distributions in a dataset. It is used to check whether the data distribution is consistent with theoretical distributions highlighted by Blondeau Da Silva or not (through the dat.distr() function): this ideal theoretical distribution must be at least approximately followed by the data for the use of Blondeau Da Silva's model to be well-founded. It also enables to plot histograms of digit distributions, both observed in the dataset and given by the two theoretical approaches (with the digit.ditr() function). Finally, it proposes to quantify the goodness of fit via Pearson's chi-squared test (with the chi2() function).

Skinfold measurements is one of the most popular and practical methods for estimating percent body fat. Body composition is a term that describes the relative proportions of fat, bone, and muscle mass in the human body. Following the collection of skinfold measurements, regression analysis (a statistical procedure used to predict a dependent variable based on one or more independent or predictor variables) is used to estimate total percent body fat in humans. <doi:10.4324/9780203868744>.

Fits Cox model via stochastic gradient descent. This implementation avoids computational instability of the standard Cox Model when dealing large datasets. Furthermore, it scales up with large datasets that do not fit the memory. It also handles large sparse datasets using proximal stochastic gradient descent algorithm. For more details about the method, please see Aliasghar Tarkhan and Noah Simon (2020) <arXiv:2003.00116v2>.

Is used to simulate and fit biological geometries. biogeom incorporates several novel universal parametric equations that can generate the profiles of bird eggs, flowers, linear and lanceolate leaves, seeds, starfish, and tree-rings (Gielis (2003) <doi:10.3732/ajb.90.3.333>; Shi et al. (2020) <doi:10.3390/sym12040645>), three growth-rate curves representing the ontogenetic growth trajectories of animals and plants against time, and the axially symmetrical and integral forms of all these functions (Shi et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2017.01.012>; Shi et al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/sym13081524>). The optimization method proposed by Nelder and Mead (1965) <doi:10.1093/comjnl/7.4.308> was used to estimate model parameters. biogeom includes several real data sets of the boundary coordinates of natural shapes, including avian eggs, fruit, lanceolate and ovate leaves, tree rings, seeds, and sea stars,and can be potentially applied to other natural shapes. biogeom can quantify the conspecific or interspecific similarity of natural outlines, and provides information with important ecological and evolutionary implications for the growth and form of living organisms. Please see Shi et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/nyas.14862> for details.

The binomialRF is a new feature selection technique for decision trees that aims at providing an alternative approach to identify significant feature subsets using binomial distributional assumptions (Rachid Zaim, S., et al. (2019)) <doi:10.1101/681973>. Treating each splitting variable selection as a set of exchangeable correlated Bernoulli trials, binomialRF then tests whether a feature is selected more often than by random chance.

This package provides functions for calculating biochemical methane potential (BMP) from laboratory measurements and other types of data processing and prediction useful for biogas research. Raw laboratory measurements for diverse methods (volumetric, manometric, gravimetric, gas density) can be processed to calculate BMP. Theoretical maximum BMP or methane or biogas yield can be predicted from various measures of substrate composition. Molar mass and calculated oxygen demand (COD') can be determined from a chemical formula. Measured gas volume can be corrected for water vapor and to standard (or user-defined) temperature and pressure. Gas quantity can be converted between volume, mass, and moles. A function for planning BMP experiments can consider multiple constraints in suggesting substrate or inoculum quantities, and check for problems. Inoculum and substrate mass can be determined for planning BMP experiments. Finally, a set of first-order models can be fit to measured methane production rate or cumulative yield in order to extract estimates of ultimate yield and kinetic constants. See Hafner et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2018.06.005> for details. OBA is a web application that provides access to some of the package functionality: <https://biotransformers.shinyapps.io/oba1/>. The Standard BMP Methods website documents the calculations in detail: <https://www.dbfz.de/en/BMP>.

Calculates nonparametric pointwise confidence intervals for the survival distribution for right censored data, and for medians [Fay and Brittain <DOI:10.1002/sim.6905>]. Has two-sample tests for dissimilarity (e.g., difference, ratio or odds ratio) in survival at a fixed time, and differences in medians [Fay, Proschan, and Brittain <DOI:10.1111/biom.12231>]. Basically, the package gives exact inference methods for one- and two-sample exact inferences for Kaplan-Meier curves (e.g., generalizing Fisher's exact test to allow for right censoring), which are especially important for latter parts of the survival curve, small sample sizes or heavily censored data. Includes mid-p options.

This package provides functions to aid in the design and analysis of agronomic and agricultural experiments through easy access to documentation and helper functions, especially for users who are learning these concepts.

It is a commercial package that can be purchased as asreml-R from VSNi <https://vsni.co.uk/>, who will supply a zip file for local installation/updating (see <https://asreml.kb.vsni.co.uk/>).

Bayesian Additive Regression Kernels (BARK) provides an implementation for non-parametric function estimation using Levy Random Field priors for functions that may be represented as a sum of additive multivariate kernels. Kernels are located at every data point as in Support Vector Machines, however, coefficients may be heavily shrunk to zero under the Cauchy process prior, or even, set to zero. The number of active features is controlled by priors on precision parameters within the kernels, permitting feature selection. For more details see Ouyang, Z (2008) "Bayesian Additive Regression Kernels", Duke University. PhD dissertation, Chapter 3 and Wolpert, R. L, Clyde, M.A, and Tu, C. (2011) "Stochastic Expansions with Continuous Dictionaries Levy Adaptive Regression Kernels, Annals of Statistics Vol (39) pages 1916-1962 <doi:10.1214/11-AOS889>.

Highly efficient functions for estimating various rank (centrality) measures of nodes in bipartite graphs (two-mode networks). Includes methods for estimating HITS, CoHITS, BGRM, and BiRank with implementation primarily inspired by He et al. (2016) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2016.2611584>. Also provides easy-to-use tools for efficiently estimating PageRank in one-mode graphs, incorporating or removing edge-weights during rank estimation, projecting two-mode graphs to one-mode, and for converting edgelists and matrices to sparseMatrix format. Best of all, the package's rank estimators can work directly with common formats of network data including edgelists (class data.frame, data.table, or tbl_df) and adjacency matrices (class matrix or dgCMatrix).
