Statistical classification and regression have been popular among various fields and stayed in the limelight of scientists of those fields. Examples of the fields include clinical trials where the statistical classification of patients is indispensable to predict the clinical courses of diseases. Considering the negative impact of diseases on performing daily tasks, correctly classifying patients based on the clinical information is vital in that we need to identify patients of the high-risk group to develop a severe state and arrange medical treatment for them at an opportune moment. Deep learning - a part of artificial intelligence - has gained much attention, and research on it burgeons during past decades: see, e.g, Kazemi and Mirroshandel (2018) <DOI:10.1016/j.artmed.2017.12.001>. It is a veritable technique which was originally designed for the classification, and hence, the Buddle package can provide sublime solutions to various challenging classification and regression problems encountered in the clinical trials. The Buddle package is based on the back-propagation algorithm - together with various powerful techniques such as batch normalization and dropout - which performs a multi-layer feed-forward neural network: see Krizhevsky et. al (2017) <DOI:10.1145/3065386>, Schmidhuber (2015) <DOI:10.1016/j.neunet.2014.09.003> and LeCun et al. (1998) <DOI:10.1109/5.726791> for more details. This package contains two main functions: TrainBuddle() and FetchBuddle(). TrainBuddle() builds a feed-forward neural network model and trains the model. FetchBuddle() recalls the trained model which is the output of TrainBuddle(), classifies or regresses given data, and make a final prediction for the data.

BEAST2 (<https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. BEAUti 2 (which is part of BEAST2') is a GUI tool that allows users to specify the many possible setups and generates the XML file BEAST2 needs to run. This package provides a way to create BEAST2 input files without active user input, but using R function calls instead.

Supervised learning on tabular data with blockwise missing patterns, using the Blockwise Reduced Modeling (BRM) method of Srinivasan, Currim, and Ram (2025) <doi:10.1287/ijds.2022.9016>. BRM partitions the training data into overlapping subsets based on per-row feature-missing patterns, fits one user-supplied learner per subset with minimal imputation, and at prediction time routes each test instance to the best-matching subset model. The interface is learner-agnostic: any fit-and-predict pair can be plugged in, and convenience specifications are provided for linear models, tree models, random forests, and gradient boosting.

This package performs logistic regression for binary longitudinal data, allowing for serial dependence among observations from a given individual and a random intercept term. Estimation is via maximization of the exact likelihood of a suitably defined model. Missing values and unbalanced data are allowed, with some restrictions. M.

An implementation of the Bayesian Surrogate Evaluation Test (BSET) for assessing the validity of surrogate markers in clinical trials. Provides hypothesis testing tools to evaluate whether a surrogate can reliably estimate the causal effect of a treatment on a primary outcome. Implements the imputation-based Bayesian methodology of Carlotti and Parast (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.14381>, extending the frequentist rank-based approach of Parast et al. (2024) <doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujad035>. Addresses key limitations of the frequentist method, including the lack of causal interpretability and the inability to adjust for covariates in the estimation process.

Tool to perform Bayesian inference of carcass processing/transport strategy and bone attrition from archaeofaunal skeletal profiles characterized by percentages of MAU (Minimum Anatomical Units). The approach is based on a generative model for skeletal profiles that replicates the two phases of formation of any faunal assemblage: initial accumulation as a function of human transport strategies and subsequent attrition.Two parameters define this model: 1) the transport preference (alpha), which can take any value between - 1 (mostly axial contribution) and 1 (mostly appendicular contribution) following strategies constructed as a function of butchering efficiency of different anatomical elements and the results of ethnographic studies, and 2) degree of attrition (beta), which can vary between 0 (no attrition) and 10 (maximum attrition) and relates the survivorship of bone elements to their maximum bone density. Starting from uniform prior probability distribution functions of alpha and beta, a Monte Carlo Markov Chain sampling based on a random walk Metropolis-Hasting algorithm is adopted to derive the posterior probability distribution functions, which are then available for interpretation. During this process, the likelihood of obtaining the observed percentages of MAU given a pair of parameter values is estimated by the inverse of the Chi2 statistic, multiplied by the proportion of elements within a 1 percent of the observed value.
