This package provides a set of functions to efficiently recognize and clean the continuous dorsal pattern of a female brown anole lizard (Anolis sagrei) traced from ImageJ', an open platform for scientific image analysis (see <https://imagej.net> for more information), and extract common features such as the pattern sinuosity indices, coefficient of variation, and max-min width.

Joint frailty models have been widely used to study the associations between recurrent events and a survival outcome. However, existing joint frailty models only consider one or a few recurrent events and cannot deal with high-dimensional recurrent events. This package can be used to fit our recently developed penalized joint frailty model that can handle high-dimensional recurrent events. Specifically, an adaptive lasso penalty is imposed on the parameters for the effects of the recurrent events on the survival outcome, which allows for variable selection. Also, our algorithm is computationally efficient, which is based on the Gaussian variational approximation method.

This package contains modeling and analytical tools for plant ecophysiology. MODELING: Simulate C3 photosynthesis using the Farquhar, von Caemmerer, Berry (1980) <doi:10.1007/BF00386231> model as described in Buckley and Diaz-Espejo (2015) <doi:10.1111/pce.12459>. It uses units to ensure that parameters are properly specified and transformed before calculations. Temperature response functions get automatically "baked" into all parameters based on leaf temperature following Bernacchi et al. (2002) <doi:10.1104/pp.008250>. The package includes boundary layer, cuticular, stomatal, and mesophyll conductances to CO2, which each can vary on the upper and lower portions of the leaf. Use straightforward functions to simulate photosynthesis over environmental gradients such as Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) and leaf temperature, or over trait gradients such as CO2 conductance or photochemistry. ANALYTICAL TOOLS: Fit ACi (Farquhar et al. (1980) <doi:10.1007/BF00386231>) and AQ curves (Marshall & Biscoe (1980) <doi:10.1093/jxb/31.1.29>), temperature responses (Heskel et al.

This package provides a suite of Propensity Score Predictive Inference (PSPI) methods to generalize treatment effects in trials to target populations. The package includes an existing model Bayesian Causal Forest (BCF) and four PSPI models (BCF-PS, FullBART, SplineBART, DSplineBART). These methods leverage Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) to adjust for high-dimensional covariates and nonlinear associations, while SplineBART and DSplineBART further use propensity score based splines to address covariate shift between trial data and target population.

Data from All the World's Primates relational SQL database and other tabular datasets are made available via drivers and connection functions. Additionally we provide several functions and examples to facilitate the merging and aggregation of these tabular inputs.

Perform simultaneous estimation and variable selection for correlated bivariate mixed outcomes (one continuous outcome and one binary outcome per cluster) using penalized generalized estimating equations. In addition, clustered Gaussian and binary outcomes can also be modeled. The SCAD, MCP, and LASSO penalties are supported. Cross-validation can be performed to find the optimal regularization parameter(s).

Survey sampling using permanent random numbers (PRN's). A solution to the problem of unknown overlap between survey samples, which leads to a low precision in estimates when the survey is repeated or combined with other surveys. The PRN solution is to supply the U(0, 1) random numbers to the sampling procedure, instead of having the sampling procedure generate them. In Lindblom (2014) <doi:10.2478/jos-2014-0047>, and therein cited papers, it is shown how this is carried out and how it improves the estimates. This package supports two common fixed-size sampling procedures (simple random sampling and probability-proportional-to-size sampling) and includes a function for transforming the PRN's in order to control the sample overlap.

Using the Bayesian state-space approach, we developed a continuous development model to quantify dynamic incremental changes in the response variable. While the model was originally developed for daily changes in forest green-up, the model can be used to predict any similar process. The CDM can capture both timing and rate of nonlinear processes. Unlike statics methods, which aggregate variations into a single metric, our dynamic model tracks the changing impacts over time. The CDM accommodates nonlinear responses to variation in predictors, which changes throughout development.

Genotyping arrays enable the direct measurement of an individuals genotype at thousands of markers. plinkQC facilitates genotype quality control for genetic association studies as described by Anderson and colleagues (2010) <doi:10.1038/nprot.2010.116>. It makes PLINK basic statistics (e.g. missing genotyping rates per individual, allele frequencies per genetic marker) and relationship functions accessible from R and generates a per-individual and per-marker quality control report. Individuals and markers that fail the quality control can subsequently be removed to generate a new, clean dataset. Removal of individuals based on relationship status is optimised to retain as many individuals as possible in the study. Additionally, there is a trained classifier to predict genomic ancestry of human samples.

Makes it easy to build panel data in wide format from Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) delivered raw data. Downloads data directly from the PSID server using the SAScii package. psidR takes care of merging data from each wave onto a cross-period index file, so that individuals can be followed over time. The user must specify which years they are interested in, and the PSID variable names (e.g. ER21003) for each year (they differ in each year). The package offers helper functions to retrieve variable names from different waves. There are different panel data designs and sample subsetting criteria implemented ("SRC", "SEO", "immigrant" and "latino" samples). More information about the PSID can be obtained at <https://simba.isr.umich.edu/data/data.aspx>.

Package for corpus analysis using the Corpus Workbench ('CWB', <https://cwb.sourceforge.io>) as an efficient back end for indexing and querying large corpora. The package offers functionality to flexibly create subcorpora and to carry out basic statistical operations (count, co-occurrences etc.). The original full text of documents can be reconstructed and inspected at any time. Beyond that, the package is intended to serve as an interface to packages implementing advanced statistical procedures. Respective data structures (document-term matrices, term-co-occurrence matrices etc.) can be created based on the indexed corpora.
