This package provides functions to estimate latent dimensions of choice and judgment using Aldrich-McKelvey and Blackbox scaling methods, as described in Poole et al. (2016, <doi:10.18637/jss.v069.i07>). These techniques allow researchers (particularly those analyzing political attitudes, public opinion, and legislative behavior) to recover spatial estimates of political actors ideal points and stimuli from issue scale data, accounting for perceptual bias, multidimensional spaces, and missing data. The package uses singular value decomposition and alternating least squares (ALS) procedures to scale self-placement and perceptual data into a common latent space for the analysis of ideological or evaluative dimensions. Functionality also include tools for assessing model fit, handling complex survey data structures, and reproducing simulated datasets for methodological validation.

This package provides functions to reconstruct, generate, and simulate synchronous, asynchronous, probabilistic, and temporal Boolean networks. Provides also functions to analyze and visualize attractors in Boolean networks <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq124>.

An interface to the Bayesian Weighted Sums model implemented in RStan'. It estimates the summed effect of multiple, often moderately to highly correlated, continuous predictors. Its applications can be found in analysis of exposure mixtures. The model was proposed by Hamra, Maclehose, Croen, Kauffman, and Newschaffer (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijerph18041373>. This implementation includes an extension to model binary outcome.

Generating population projections for all countries of the world using several probabilistic components, such as total fertility rate, life expectancy at birth and net migration (Raftery et al., 2012 <doi:10.1073/pnas.1211452109>). The package can be also used for subnational population projections.

This package provides a suite of functions for finance, including the estimation of variance matrices via a statistical factor model or Ledoit-Wolf shrinkage.

This package provides a recently proposed Bayesian BIN model disentangles the underlying processes that enable forecasters and forecasting methods to improve, decomposing forecasting accuracy into three components: bias, partial information, and noise. By describing the differences between two groups of forecasters, the model allows the user to carry out useful inference, such as calculating the posterior probabilities of the treatment reducing bias, diminishing noise, or increasing information. It also provides insight into how much tamping down bias and noise in judgment or enhancing the efficient extraction of valid information from the environment improves forecasting accuracy. This package provides easy access to the BIN model. For further information refer to the paper Ville A. Satopää, Marat Salikhov, Philip E. Tetlock, and Barbara Mellers (2021) "Bias, Information, Noise: The BIN Model of Forecasting" <doi:10.1287/mnsc.2020.3882>.

This package provides an approach which is based on the methodology of the Burden of Communicable Diseases in Europe (BCoDE) and can be used for large and small samples such as individual countries. The Burden of Healthcare-Associated Infections (BHAI) is estimated in disability-adjusted life years, number of infections as well as number of deaths per year. Results can be visualized with various plotting functions and exported into tables.

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.

Algorithms for computing and generating plots with and without error bars for Bayesian cluster validity index (BCVI) (O. Preedasawakul, and N. Wiroonsri, A Bayesian Cluster Validity Index, Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 202, 108053, 2025. <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2024.108053>) based on several underlying cluster validity indexes (CVIs) including Calinski-Harabasz, Chou-Su-Lai, Davies-Bouldin, Dunn, Pakhira-Bandyopadhyay-Maulik, Point biserial correlation, the score function, Starczewski, and Wiroonsri indices for hard clustering, and Correlation Cluster Validity, the generalized C, HF, KWON, KWON2, Modified Pakhira-Bandyopadhyay-Maulik, Pakhira-Bandyopadhyay-Maulik, Tang, Wiroonsri-Preedasawakul, Wu-Li, and Xie-Beni indices for soft clustering. The package is compatible with K-means, fuzzy C means, EM clustering, and hierarchical clustering (single, average, and complete linkage). Though BCVI is compatible with any underlying existing CVIs, we recommend users to use either WI or WP as the underlying CVI.

This package provides functions for analyzing and visualizing complex macroevolutionary dynamics on phylogenetic trees. It is a companion package to the command line program BAMM (Bayesian Analysis of Macroevolutionary Mixtures) and is entirely oriented towards the analysis, interpretation, and visualization of evolutionary rates. Functionality includes visualization of rate shifts on phylogenies, estimating evolutionary rates through time, comparing posterior distributions of evolutionary rates across clades, comparing diversification models using Bayes factors, and more.

This package provides a developing software suite for multiple change-point and change-point-type feature detection/estimation (data segmentation) in data sequences.

Quantitative methods for benefit-risk analysis help to condense complex decisions into a univariate metric describing the overall benefit relative to risk. One approach is to use the multi-criteria decision analysis framework (MCDA), as in Mussen, Salek, and Walker (2007) <doi:10.1002/pds.1435>. Bayesian benefit-risk analysis incorporates uncertainty through posterior distributions which are inputs to the benefit-risk framework. The brisk package provides functions to assist with Bayesian benefit-risk analyses, such as MCDA. Users input posterior samples, utility functions, weights, and the package outputs quantitative benefit-risk scores. The posterior of the benefit-risk scores for each group can be compared. Some plotting capabilities are also included.

Whitening is the first step of almost all blind source separation (BSS) methods. A fast implementation of whitening for BSS is implemented to serve as a lightweight dependency for packages providing BSS methods.

This package provides tools for building Rescorla-Wagner Models for Two-Alternative Forced Choice tasks, commonly employed in psychological research. Most concepts and ideas within this R package are referenced from Sutton and Barto (2018) <ISBN:9780262039246>. The package allows for the intuitive definition of RL models using simple if-else statements and three basic models built into this R package are referenced from Niv et al. (2012) <doi:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.5498-10.2012>. Our approach to constructing and evaluating these computational models is informed by the guidelines proposed in Wilson & Collins (2019) <doi:10.7554/eLife.49547>. Example datasets included with the package are sourced from the work of Mason et al. (2024) <doi:10.3758/s13423-023-02415-x>.

This package provides Bayesian estimation and forecasting of dynamic panel data using Bayesian Panel Vector Autoregressions with hierarchical prior distributions following the specification by Sanchez-Martinez & Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.14143>. The models include country-specific Vector Autoregressions (VARs) that share a global prior distribution that extend the model by JarociÅ ski (2010) <doi:10.1002/jae.1082>. Under this prior expected value, each country's system follows a global VAR with country-invariant parameters. Further flexibility is provided by the hierarchical prior structure that retains the Minnesota prior interpretation for the global VAR and features estimated prior covariance matrices, shrinkage, and persistence levels. Bayesian forecasting is developed for models including exogenous variables, allowing conditional forecasts given the future trajectories of some variables and restricted forecasts assuring that rates are forecasted to stay positive and less than 100. The package implements the model specification, estimation, and forecasting routines, facilitating coherent workflows and reproducibility. It also includes automated pseudo-out-of-sample forecasting and computation of forecasting performance measures. Beautiful plots, informative summary functions, and extensive documentation complement all this. Extraordinary computational speed is achieved thanks to employing frontier econometric and numerical techniques and algorithms written in C++'. The bpvars package is aligned regarding objects, workflows, and code structure with the R packages bsvars by Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvars>, bsvarSIGNs by Wang & Woźniak (2025) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvarSIGNs>, and bvars by Liu, Ramirez Hassan, & Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bvars> and they constitute an integrated toolset.

Exploratory data analysis methods to summarize, visualize and describe datasets. The main principal component methods are available, those with the largest potential in terms of applications: principal component analysis (PCA) when variables are quantitative, correspondence analysis (CA) when variables are categorical, Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA) when variables are structured in groups.

Calculates nonparametric pointwise confidence intervals for the survival distribution for right censored data, and for medians [Fay and Brittain <DOI:10.1002/sim.6905>]. Has two-sample tests for dissimilarity (e.g., difference, ratio or odds ratio) in survival at a fixed time, and differences in medians [Fay, Proschan, and Brittain <DOI:10.1111/biom.12231>]. Basically, the package gives exact inference methods for one- and two-sample exact inferences for Kaplan-Meier curves (e.g., generalizing Fisher's exact test to allow for right censoring), which are especially important for latter parts of the survival curve, small sample sizes or heavily censored data. Includes mid-p options.
