This package contains functions for evaluating, analyzing, and fitting combined action dose response surfaces with the Bivariate Response to Additive Interacting Doses (BRAID) model of combined action, along with tools for implementing other combination analysis methods, including Bliss independence, combination index, and additional response surface methods.

This package implements three test procedures using bootstrap resampling techniques for assessing treatment effects in one-way ANOVA models with unequal variances (heteroscedasticity). It includes a parametric bootstrap likelihood ratio test (PB_LRT()), a pairwise parametric bootstrap mean test (PPBMT()), and a Rademacher wild pairwise non-parametric bootstrap test (RWPNPBT()). These methods provide robust alternatives to classical ANOVA and standard pairwise comparisons when the assumption of homogeneity of variances is violated.

Based on the BioVenn web interface available at <https://www.biovenn.nl>. Hulsen (2021) <doi:10.3233/DS-210032>.

The mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) is a popular model for longitudinal clinical trial data with continuous endpoints, and brms is a powerful and versatile package for fitting Bayesian regression models. The brms.mmrm R package leverages brms to run MMRMs, and it supports a simplified interfaced to reduce difficulty and align with the best practices of the life sciences.

The methodology is based on Cepeda-Cuervo and Urdinola (2012) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.600500> and extended in Cepeda-Cuervo (2026), Double Generalized Linear Models: Likelihood and Bayesian Methods (ISBN: 9781041169970). The package provides parameter estimation, model fitting, and model comparison tools, including Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC).

Implementation of the nonparametric bounds for the average causal effect under an instrumental variable model by Balke and Pearl (Bounds on Treatment Effects from Studies with Imperfect Compliance, JASA, 1997, 92, 439, 1171-1176, <doi:10.1080/01621459.1997.10474074>). The package can calculate bounds for a binary outcome, a binary treatment/phenotype, and an instrument with either 2 or 3 categories. The package implements bounds for situations where these 3 variables are measured in the same dataset (trivariate data) or where the outcome and instrument are measured in one study and the treatment/phenotype and instrument are measured in another study (bivariate data).

We use a Bayesian approach to run individual patient data meta-analysis and network meta-analysis using JAGS'. The methods incorporate shrinkage methods and calculate patient-specific treatment effects as described in Seo et al. (2021) <DOI:10.1002/sim.8859>. This package also includes user-friendly functions that impute missing data in an individual patient data using mice-related packages.

This package provides comprehensive tools for Bayesian model diagnostics and comparison. Includes prior sensitivity analysis, posterior predictive checks (Gelman et al. (2013) <doi:10.1201/b16018>), advanced model comparison using Pareto-smoothed importance sampling leave-one-out cross-validation (Vehtari et al. (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9696-4>), convergence diagnostics, and prior elicitation tools. Integrates with brms (Burkner (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i01>), rstan', and rstanarm packages for comprehensive Bayesian workflow diagnostics.

This package performs BTLLasso as described by Schauberger and Tutz (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v088.i09> and Schauberger and Tutz (2017) <doi:10.1177/1471082X17693086>. BTLLasso is a method to include different types of variables in paired comparison models and, therefore, to allow for heterogeneity between subjects. Variables can be subject-specific, object-specific and subject-object-specific and can have an influence on the attractiveness/strength of the objects. Suitable L1 penalty terms are used to cluster certain effects and to reduce the complexity of the models.

Fast Bayesian estimation and forecasting of age-specific rates, probabilities, and means, based on Template Model Builder'.

We utilize the Bradley-Terry Model to estimate the abilities of teams using paired comparison data. For dynamic approximation of current rankings, we employ the Exponential Decayed Log-likelihood function, and we also apply the Lasso penalty for variance reduction and grouping. The main algorithm applies the Augmented Lagrangian Method described by Masarotto and Varin (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-AOAS581>.

This package provides Bayesian quantile regression models for complex survey data under informative sampling using survey-weighted estimators. Both single- and multiple-output models are supported. To accelerate computation, all algorithms are implemented in C++ using Rcpp', RcppArmadillo', and RcppEigen', and are called from R'. See Nascimento and Gonçalves (2024) <doi:10.1093/jssam/smae015> and Nascimento and Gonçalves (2025, in press) <https://academic.oup.com/jssam>.

MDS is a statistic tool for reduction of dimensionality, using as input a distance matrix of dimensions n à n. When n is large, classical algorithms suffer from computational problems and MDS configuration can not be obtained. With this package, we address these problems by means of six algorithms, being two of them original proposals: - Landmark MDS proposed by De Silva V. and JB. Tenenbaum (2004). - Interpolation MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Reduced MDS proposed by Paradis E (2018). - Pivot MDS proposed by Brandes U. and C. Pich (2007) - Divide-and-conquer MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Fast MDS, proposed by Yang, T., J. Liu, L. McMillan and W. Wang (2006).

The main purpose of this package is to propose a transparent methodological framework to compare bioregionalization methods based on hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering algorithms (Kreft & Jetz (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02375.x>) and network algorithms (Lenormand et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/ece3.4718> and Leroy et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/jbi.13674>).

This package provides Bayesian early-warning surveillance methods for monitoring healthcare performance and patient safety outcomes. The package draws on risk-adjusted monitoring frameworks developed by Steiner et al. (2000) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/1.4.441>, Spiegelhalter et al. (2003) <doi:10.1002/sim.1546>, Cook et al. (2011) <doi:10.1136/bmjqs.2008.031831>, and Neuburger et al. (2017) <doi:10.1136/bmjqs-2016-005511>. The package implements Bayesian predictive modelling, risk-adjusted monitoring, early-warning signal detection, and graphical tools for continuous quality improvement and healthcare performance assessment.

Package for Bayesian Variable Selection and Model Averaging in linear models and generalized linear models using stochastic or deterministic sampling without replacement from posterior distributions. Prior distributions on coefficients are from Zellner's g-prior or mixtures of g-priors corresponding to the Zellner-Siow Cauchy Priors or the mixture of g-priors from Liang et al (2008) <DOI:10.1198/016214507000001337> for linear models or mixtures of g-priors from Li and Clyde (2019) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2018.1469992> in generalized linear models. Other model selection criteria include AIC, BIC and Empirical Bayes estimates of g. Sampling probabilities may be updated based on the sampled models using sampling w/out replacement or an efficient MCMC algorithm which samples models using a tree structure of the model space as an efficient hash table. See Clyde, Ghosh and Littman (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jcgs.2010.09049> for details on the sampling algorithms. Uniform priors over all models or beta-binomial prior distributions on model size are allowed, and for large p truncated priors on the model space may be used to enforce sampling models that are full rank. The user may force variables to always be included in addition to imposing constraints that higher order interactions are included only if their parents are included in the model.
