This package provides tools for the calculation of common biodiversity indices from count data. Additionally, it incorporates bootstrapping techniques to generate multiple samples, facilitating the estimation of confidence intervals around these indices. Furthermore, the package allows for the exploration of how variation in these indices changes with differing numbers of sites, making it a useful tool with which to begin an ecological analysis. Methods are based on the following references: Chao et al.

This package provides various basis expansions for flexible regression modeling, including random Fourier features (Rahimi & Recht, 2007) <https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2007/file/013a006f03dbc5392effeb8f18fda755-Paper.pdf>, exact kernel / Gaussian process feature maps, Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) (Chipman et al., 2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285> prior features, and a helpful interface for n-way interactions. The provided functions may be used within any modeling formula, allowing the use of kernel methods and other basis expansions in modeling functions that do not otherwise support them. Along with the basis expansions, a number of kernel functions are also provided, which support kernel arithmetic to form new kernels. Basic ridge regression functionality is included as well.

Simultaneously clusters the Periodontal diseases (PD) patients and their tooth sites after taking the patient- and site-level covariates into consideration. BAREB uses the determinantal point process (DPP) prior to induce diversity among different biclusters to facilitate parsimony and interpretability. Essentially, BAREB is a cluster-wise linear model based on Yuliang (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8536>.

(2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2210.16290> and Smith et al. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.14199>, respectively.

Survey systems and other third-party data sources commonly use non-standard representations of logical values when it comes to qualitative data - "Yes", "No" and "N/A", say. batman is a package designed to seamlessly convert these into logicals. It is highly localised, and contains equivalents to boolean values in languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Chinese and Polish.

This package provides functions to allow you to easily pass command-line arguments into R, and functions to aid in submitting your R code in parallel on a cluster and joining the results afterward (e.g. multiple parameter values for simulations running in parallel, splitting up a permutation test in parallel, etc.). See `parseCommandArgs(...) for the main example of how to use this package.
