Gibbs sampling for Bayesian spatial blind source separation (BSP-BSS). BSP-BSS is designed for spatially dependent signals in high dimensional and large-scale data, such as neuroimaging. The method assumes the expectation of the observed images as a linear mixture of multiple sparse and piece-wise smooth latent source signals, and constructs a Bayesian nonparametric prior by thresholding Gaussian processes. Details can be found in our paper: Wu, B., Guo, Y., & Kang, J. (2024). Bayesian spatial blind source separation via the thresholded gaussian process. Journal of the American Statistical Association, 119(545), 422-433.

Model selection by bootstrapping the stepAIC() procedure.

Calculates the bidimensional regression between two 2D configurations following the approach by Tobler (1965).

Implementation of the bunching estimator for kinks and notches. Allows for flexible estimation of counterfactual (e.g. controlling for round number bunching, accounting for other bunching masses within bunching window, fixing bunching point to be minimum, maximum or median value in its bin, etc.). It produces publication-ready plots in the style followed since Chetty et al. (2011) <doi:10.1093/qje/qjr013>, with lots of functionality to set plot options.

BayesX performs Bayesian inference in structured additive regression (STAR) models. The R package BayesXsrc provides the BayesX command line tool for easy installation. A convenient R interface is provided in package R2BayesX.

Estimates group-level means and standard deviations from binned (coarsened) count data, where the within-bin scores are unobserved. The package implements three methods that share a common output structure: bin_means() (a fast estimator that assumes within-district normality and uses pooled bin proportions to derive bin-conditional truncated-normal expectations), mle_hetop() (maximum likelihood for the heteroskedastic ordered probit model of Reardon, Shear, Castellano and Ho 2017 <doi:10.3102/1076998616666279>), and fh_hetop() (the Bayesian Fay-Herriot variant of Lockwood, Castellano and Shear 2018 <doi:10.3102/1076998618795124>). The mle_hetop() and fh_hetop() functions are forked from the HETOP package by J. R. Lockwood ('CRAN', last released 2019). mle_hetop() has been modified to speed up the runtime via a vectorized inner loop and to remove two user-facing arguments (fixedcuts and svals) that some users found confusing; cutpoints and starting values are now derived internally from the data.

This package implements bidirectional two-stage least squares (Bi-TSLS) estimation for identifying bidirectional causal effects between two variables in the presence of unmeasured confounding. The method uses proxy variables (negative control exposure and outcome) along with at least one covariate to handle confounding.

Inference on the marginal model of the mixed effect model with the Box-Cox transformation and on the model median differences between treatment groups for longitudinal randomized clinical trials. These statistical methods are proposed by Maruo et al. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7279>.

This package provides a framework of tools to summarise, visualise, and explore longitudinal data. It builds upon the tidy time series data frames used in the tsibble package, and is designed to integrate within the tidyverse', and tidyverts (for time series) ecosystems. The methods implemented include calculating features for understanding longitudinal data, including calculating summary statistics such as quantiles, medians, and numeric ranges, sampling individual series, identifying individual series representative of a group, and extending the facet system in ggplot2 to facilitate exploration of samples of data. These methods are fully described in the paper "brolgar: An R package to Browse Over Longitudinal Data Graphically and Analytically in R", Nicholas Tierney, Dianne Cook, Tania Prvan (2020) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2022-023>.

Estimation of hierarchical Bayesian vector autoregressive models following Kuschnig & Vashold (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i14>. Implements hierarchical prior selection for conjugate priors in the fashion of Giannone, Lenza & Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483>. Functions to compute and identify impulse responses, calculate forecasts, forecast error variance decompositions and scenarios are available. Several methods to print, plot and summarise results facilitate analysis.

Included here are babel routines for identifying unusual ribosome protected fragment counts given mRNA counts.

This package provides some tools for developing and validating prediction models, estimate expected survival of patients and visualize them graphically. Most of the implemented methods are based on penalized regressions such as: the lasso (Tibshirani R (1996)), the elastic net (Zou H et al. (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00503.x>), the adaptive lasso (Zou H (2006) <doi:10.1198/016214506000000735>), the stability selection (Meinshausen N et al. (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2010.00740.x>), some extensions of the lasso (Ternes et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.6927>), some methods for the interaction setting (Ternes N et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201500234>), or others. A function generating simulated survival data set is also provided.

Preprocessing tools and biodiversity measures (species abundance, species richness, population heterogeneity and sensitivity) for analysing marine benthic data. See Van Loon et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.seares.2015.05.002> for an application of these tools.

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.

This package provides a fast integrative genetic association test for rare diseases based on a model for disease status given allele counts at rare variant sites. Probability of association, mode of inheritance and probability of pathogenicity for individual variants are all inferred in a Bayesian framework - A Fast Association Test for Identifying Pathogenic Variants Involved in Rare Diseases', Greene et al 2017 <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2017.05.015>.

Bayesian Nonparametric sensitivity analysis of multiple testing procedures for p values with arbitrary dependencies, based on the Dirichlet process prior distribution.

The card game War is simple in its rules but can be lengthy. In another domain, the nonparametric bootstrap test with pooled resampling (nbpr) methods, as outlined in Dwivedi, Mallawaarachchi, and Alvarado (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7263>, is optimal for comparing paired or unpaired means in non-normal data, especially for small sample size studies. However, many researchers are unfamiliar with these methods. The bootwar package bridges this gap by enabling users to grasp the concepts of nbpr via Boot War, a variation of the card game War designed for small samples. The package provides functions like score_keeper() and play_round() to streamline gameplay and scoring. Once a predetermined number of rounds concludes, users can employ the analyze_game() function to derive game results. This function leverages the npboottprm package's nonparboot() to report nbpr results and, for comparative analysis, also reports results from the stats package's t.test() function. Additionally, bootwar features an interactive shiny web application, bootwar(). This offers a user-centric interface to experience Boot War, enhancing understanding of nbpr methods across various distributions, sample sizes, number of bootstrap resamples, and confidence intervals.
