This package implements Bayesian brain mapping with population-derived priors, including the original model described in Mejia et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2019.1679638>, the model with spatial priors described in Mejia et al. (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2104289>, and the model with population-derived priors on functional connectivity described in Mejia et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxaf022>. Population-derived priors are based on templates representing established brain network maps, for example derived from independent component analysis (ICA), parcellations, or other methods. Model estimation is based on expectation-maximization or variational Bayes algorithms. Includes direct support for CIFTI', GIFTI', and NIFTI neuroimaging file formats.

Computes uniform bounds on the distance between the cumulative distribution function of a standardized sum of random variables and its first-order Edgeworth expansion, following the article Derumigny, Girard, Guyonvarch (2023) <doi:10.1007/s13171-023-00320-y>.

This package creates an interactive graphics interface to visualize backtest results of different financial instruments, such as equities, futures, and credit default swaps. The package does not run backtests on the given data set but displays a graphical explanation of the backtest results. Users can look at backtest graphics for different instruments, investment strategies, and portfolios. Summary statistics of different portfolio holdings are shown in the left panel, and interactive plots of profit and loss (P&L), net market value (NMV) and gross market value (GMV) are displayed in the right panel.

Usually, it is difficult to plot choropleth maps for Bangladesh in R'. The bangladesh package provides ready-to-use shapefiles for different administrative regions of Bangladesh (e.g., Division, District, Upazila, and Union). This package helps users to draw thematic maps of administrative regions of Bangladesh easily as it comes with the sf objects for the boundaries. It also provides functions allowing users to efficiently get specific area maps and center coordinates for regions. Users can also search for a specific area and calculate the centroids of those areas.

Decomposition of time series into trend, seasonal, and remainder components with methods for detecting and characterizing abrupt changes within the trend and seasonal components. BFAST can be used to analyze different types of satellite image time series and can be applied to other disciplines dealing with seasonal or non-seasonal time series, such as hydrology, climatology, and econometrics. The algorithm can be extended to label detected changes with information on the parameters of the fitted piecewise linear models. BFAST monitoring functionality is described in Verbesselt et al. (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.rse.2009.08.014>. BFAST monitor provides functionality to detect disturbance in near real-time based on BFAST'- type models, and is described in Verbesselt et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.rse.2012.02.022>. BFAST Lite approach is a flexible approach that handles missing data without interpolation, and will be described in an upcoming paper. Furthermore, different models can now be used to fit the time series data and detect structural changes (breaks).

Perform fundamental analyses using Bayesian parametric and non-parametric inference (regression, anova, 1 and 2 sample inference, non-parametric tests, etc.). (Practically) no Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is used; all exact finite sample inference is completed via closed form solutions or else through posterior sampling automated to ensure precision in interval estimate bounds. Diagnostic plots for model assessment, and key inferential quantities (point and interval estimates, probability of direction, region of practical equivalence, and Bayes factors) and model visualizations are provided. Bayes factors are computed either by the Savage Dickey ratio given in Dickey (1971) <doi:10.1214/aoms/1177693507> or by Chib's method as given in xxx. Interpretations are from Kass and Raftery (1995) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1995.10476572>. ROPE bounds are based on discussions in Kruschke (2018) <doi:10.1177/2515245918771304>. Methods for determining the number of posterior samples required are described in Doss et al. (2014) <doi:10.1214/14-EJS957>. Bayesian model averaging is done in part by Feldkircher and Zeugner (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v068.i04>. Methods for contingency table analysis is described in Gunel et al.

We perform general mediation analysis in the Bayesian setting using the methods described in Yu and Li (2022, ISBN:9780367365479). With the package, the mediation analysis can be performed on different types of outcomes (e.g., continuous, binary, categorical, or time-to-event), with default or user-defined priors and predictive models. The Bayesian estimates and credible sets of mediation effects are reported as analytic results.

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.

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.

Detection of a statistically significant trend in the data provided by the user. This is based on the a signed test based on the binomial distribution. The package returns a trend test value, T, and also a p-value. A T value close to 1 indicates a rising trend, whereas a T value close to -1 indicates a decreasing trend. A T value close to 0 indicates no trend. There is also a command to visualize the trend. A test data set called gtsa_data is also available, which has global mean temperatures for January, April, July, and October for the years 1851 to 2022. Reference: Walpole, Myers, Myers, Ye. (2007, ISBN: 0-13-187711-9).

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.

This package provides a chemical speciation and toxicity prediction model for the toxicity of metals to aquatic organisms. The Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) engine was originally programmed in PowerBasic by Robert Santore and others. The main way the BLM can be used is to predict the toxicity of a metal to an organism with a known sensitivity (i.e., it is known how much of that metal must accumulate on that organism's biotic ligand to cause a physiological effect in a certain percentage of the population, such as a 20% loss in reproduction or a 50% mortality rate). The second way the BLM can be used is to estimate the chemical speciation of the metal and other constituents in water, including estimating the amount of metal accumulated to an organism's biotic ligand during a toxicity test. In the first application of the BLM, the amount of metal associated with a toxicity endpoint, or regulatory limit will be predicted, while in the second application, the amount of metal is known and the portions of that metal that exist in various forms will be determined. This version of the engine has been re-structured to perform the calculations in a different way that will make it more efficient in R, while also making it more flexible and easier to maintain in the future. Because of this, it does not currently match the desktop model exactly, but we hope to improve this comparability in the future.

Bit-level reading and writing are necessary when dealing with many file formats e.g. compressed data and binary files. Currently, R connections are manipulated at the byte level. This package wraps existing connections and raw vectors so that it is possible to read bits, bit sequences, unaligned bytes and low-bit representations of integers.

Finds the best block diagonal matrix approximation of a symmetric matrix. This can be exploited for divisive hierarchical clustering using singular vectors, named HC-SVD. The method is described in Bauer (202Xa) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.06820>.

Handy frameworks, such as error handling and log generation, for batch scripts. Use case: in scripts running in remote servers, set error handling mechanism for downloading and uploading and record operation log.

Subgroup analyses are routinely performed in clinical trial analyses. From a methodological perspective, two key issues of subgroup analyses are multiplicity (even if only predefined subgroups are investigated) and the low sample sizes of subgroups which lead to highly variable estimates, see e.g. Yusuf et al (1991) <doi:10.1001/jama.1991.03470010097038>. This package implements subgroup estimates based on Bayesian shrinkage priors, see Carvalho et al (2019) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v5/carvalho09a.html>. In addition, estimates based on penalized likelihood inference are available, based on Simon et al (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v039.i05>. The corresponding shrinkage based forest plots address the aforementioned issues and can complement standard forest plots in practical clinical trial analyses.
