This package provides a collection of Bayesian networks (discrete, Gaussian, and conditional linear Gaussian) collated from recent academic literature. The bnRep_summary object provides an overview of the Bayesian networks in the repository and the package documentation includes details about the variables in each network. A Shiny app to explore the repository can be launched with bnRep_app() and is available online at <https://manueleleonelli.shinyapps.io/bnRep>. Reference: M. Leonelli (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2025.129502>.

Fast Bayesian inference of marginal and conditional independence structures from high-dimensional data. Leday and Richardson (2019), Biometrics, <doi:10.1111/biom.13064>.

This package provides a lightweight package to access spatial basemaps from open sources such as OpenStreetMap', Carto', Mapbox and others in R.

This package creates an interactive graphics interface to visualize backtest results of different financial instruments, such as equities, futures, and credit default swaps. The package does not run backtests on the given data set but displays a graphical explanation of the backtest results. Users can look at backtest graphics for different instruments, investment strategies, and portfolios. Summary statistics of different portfolio holdings are shown in the left panel, and interactive plots of profit and loss (P&L), net market value (NMV) and gross market value (GMV) are displayed in the right panel.

Making probabilistic projections of life expectancy for all countries of the world, using a Bayesian hierarchical model <doi:10.1007/s13524-012-0193-x>. Subnational projections are also supported.

Calculates the Boltzmann entropy of a landscape gradient. This package uses the analytical method created by Gao, P., Zhang, H. and Li, Z., 2018 (<doi:10.1111/tgis.12315>) and by Gao, P. and Li, Z., 2019 (<doi:10.1007/s10980-019-00854-3>). It also extend the original ideas by allowing calculations on data with missing values.

Fits a piecewise exponential hazard to survival data using a Hierarchical Bayesian model with an Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive formulation for the spatial dependency in the hazard rates for each piece. This function uses Metropolis- Hastings-Green MCMC to allow the number of split points to vary and also uses Stochastic Search Variable Selection to determine what covariates drive the risk of the event. This function outputs trace plots depicting the number of split points in the hazard and the number of variables included in the hazard. The function saves all posterior quantities to the desired path.

This package provides a backward-pipe operator for magrittr (%<%) or pipeR (%<<%) that allows for a performing operations from right-to-left. This allows writing more legible code where right-to-left ordering is natural. This is common with hierarchies and nested structures such as trees, directories or markup languages (e.g. HTML and XML). The package also includes a R-Studio add-in that can be bound to a keyboard shortcut.

Bindings to the blowfish password hashing algorithm <https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bcrypt-paper.pdf> derived from the OpenBSD implementation.

This package provides functions to combine data on voting blocs size, turnout, and vote choice to estimate each bloc's vote contributions to the Democratic and Republican parties. The package also includes functions for uncertainty estimation and plotting. Users may define voting blocs along a discrete or continuous variable. The package implements methods described in Grimmer, Marble, and Tanigawa-Lau (2023) <doi:10.31235/osf.io/c9fkg>.

High performance principal component analysis routines that operate directly on bigmemory::big.matrix() objects. The package avoids materialising large matrices in memory by streaming data through BLAS and LAPACK kernels and provides helpers to derive scores, loadings, correlations, and contribution diagnostics, including utilities that stream results into bigmemory'-backed matrices for file-based workflows. Additional interfaces expose scalable singular value decomposition, robust PCA, and robust SVD algorithms so that users can explore large matrices while tempering the influence of outliers. Scalable principal component analysis is also implemented, Elgamal, Yabandeh, Aboulnaga, Mustafa, and Hefeeda (2015) <doi:10.1145/2723372.2751520>.

Generating multiple binary and normal variables simultaneously given marginal characteristics and association structure based on the methodology proposed by Demirtas and Doganay (2012) <DOI:10.1080/10543406.2010.521874>.

This package provides a unified framework for optimizing basket trial designs. To this end, the package supplies several utility functions and also a function for executing optimization algorithms on basket trial designs. The considered utility functions are discussed in Sauer et al. (2025) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0323097>.

This package provides a Bayesian variable selection approach using continuous spike and slab prior distributions. The prior choices here are motivated by the shrinking and diffusing priors studied in Narisetty & He (2014) <DOI:10.1214/14-AOS1207>.

This package performs the algorithm for time series clustering described in Nieto-Barajas and Contreras-Cristan (2014).

Create a blended curve from two survival curves, which is particularly useful for survival extrapolation in health technology assessment. The main idea is to mix a flexible model that fits the observed data well with a parametric model that encodes assumptions about long-term survival. The two curves are blended into a single survival curve that is identical to the first model over the range of observed times and gradually approaches the parametric model over the extrapolation period based on a given weight function. This approach allows for the inclusion of external information, such as data from registries or expert opinion, to guide long-term extrapolations, especially when dealing with immature trial data. See Che et al. (2022) <doi:10.1177/0272989X221134545>.

Bayesian Mixture Survival Models using Additive Mixture-of-Weibull Hazards, with Lasso Shrinkage and Stratification. As a Bayesian dynamic survival model, it relaxes the proportional-hazard assumption. Lasso shrinkage controls overfitting, given the increase in the number of free parameters in the model due to presence of two Weibull components in the hazard function.

BAYesian inference for MEDical designs in R. Functions for the computation of Bayes factors for common biomedical research designs. Implemented are functions to test the equivalence (equiv_bf), non-inferiority (infer_bf), and superiority (super_bf) of an experimental group compared to a control group on a continuous outcome measure, as well as functions for simulating survival data and calculating a Bayes factor for Cox proportional hazards models. Bayes factors for these tests can be computed based on raw data or summary statistics.

Functional differences between the cerebral hemispheres are a fundamental characteristic of the human brain. Researchers interested in studying these differences often infer underlying hemispheric dominance for a certain function (e.g., language) from laterality indices calculated from observed performance or brain activation measures . However, any inference from observed measures to latent (unobserved) classes has to consider the prior probability of class membership in the population. The provided functions implement a Bayesian model for predicting hemispheric dominance from observed laterality indices (Sorensen and Westerhausen, Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 2020, <doi:10.1080/1357650X.2020.1769124>).
