This package provides a comprehensive high-level package, for composite indicator construction and analysis. It is a "development environment" for composite indicators and scoreboards, which includes utilities for construction (indicator selection, denomination, imputation, data treatment, normalisation, weighting and aggregation) and analysis (multivariate analysis, correlation plotting, short cuts for principal component analysis, global sensitivity analysis, and more). A composite indicator is completely encapsulated inside a single hierarchical list called a "coin". This allows a fast and efficient work flow, as well as making quick copies, testing methodological variations and making comparisons. It also includes many plotting options, both statistical (scatter plots, distribution plots) as well as for presenting results.

Classification method described in Dancik et al (2011) <doi:10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-11-2427> that classifies a sample according to the class with the maximum mean (or any other function of) correlation between the test and training samples with known classes.

While data from randomized experiments remain the gold standard for causal inference, estimation of causal estimands from observational data is possible through various confounding adjustment methods. However, the challenge of unmeasured confounding remains a concern in causal inference, where failure to account for unmeasured confounders can lead to biased estimates of causal estimands. Sensitivity analysis within the framework of causal inference can help adjust for possible unmeasured confounding. In `causens`, three main methods are implemented: adjustment via sensitivity functions (Brumback, Hernán, Haneuse, and Robins (2004) <doi:10.1002/sim.1657> and Li, Shen, Wu, and Li (2011) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwr096>), Bayesian parametric modelling and Monte Carlo approaches (McCandless, Lawrence C and Gustafson, Paul (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7298>).

This package provides measures of effect sizes for summarized continuous variables as well as diagnostic accuracy statistics for 2x2 table data. Includes functions for Cohen's d, robust effect size, Cohen's q, partial eta-squared, coefficient of variation, odds ratio, likelihood ratios, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, Youden index, number needed to treat, number needed to diagnose, and predictive summary index.

Estimating mutation and selection coefficients on synonymous codon bias usage based on models of ribosome overhead cost (ROC). Multinomial logistic regression and Markov Chain Monte Carlo are used to estimate and predict protein production rates with/without the presence of expressions and measurement errors. Work flows with examples for simulation, estimation and prediction processes are also provided with parallelization speedup. The whole framework is tested with yeast genome and gene expression data of Yassour, et al. (2009) <doi:10.1073/pnas.0812841106>.

An interactive document on the topic of classification tree analysis using rmarkdown and shiny packages. Runtime examples are provided in the package function as well as at <https://kartikeyab.shinyapps.io/CTShiny/>.

Clustering, or cluster analysis, is a widely used technique in bioinformatics to identify groups of similar biological data points. Consensus clustering is an extension to clustering algorithms that aims to construct a robust result from those clustering features that are invariant under different sources of variation. For the reference, please cite the following paper: Yousefi, Melograna, et. al., (2023) <doi:10.3389/fmicb.2023.1170391>.

Machine learning algorithms for predictor variables that are compositional data and the response variable is either continuous or categorical. Specifically, the Boruta variable selection algorithm, random forest, support vector machines and projection pursuit regression are included.

Computer algebra via the SymPy library (<https://www.sympy.org/>). This makes it possible to solve equations symbolically, find symbolic integrals, symbolic sums and other important quantities.

Unifying an inconsistently coded categorical variable between two different time points in accordance with a mapping table. The main rule is to replicate the observation if it could be assigned to a few categories. Then using frequencies or statistical methods to approximate the probabilities of being assigned to each of them. This procedure was invented and implemented in the paper by Nasinski, Majchrowska, and Broniatowska (2020) <doi:10.24425/cejeme.2020.134747>.

Supports analysis of trends in climate change, ecological and crop modelling.

Easily cache and retrieve computation results. The package works seamlessly across interactive R sessions, R scripts and Rmarkdown documents.

Draws systematic samples from a population that follows linear trend. The function returns a matrix comprising of the required samples as its column vectors. The samples produced are highly efficient and the inter sampling variance is minimum. The scheme will be useful in various field like Bioinformatics where the samples are expensive and must be precise in reflecting the population by possessing least sampling variance.

Data package for the supplementary data in Prem et al. (2017) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005697> and Prem et al. <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009098>. Provides easy access to contact data for 177 countries, for use in epidemiological, demographic or social sciences research.

Allows users to seamlessly query several CDC PLACES APIs (<https://data.cdc.gov/browse?q=PLACES%20&sortBy=relevance>) by geography, state, measure, and release year. This package also contains a function to explore the available measures for each release year.

Supporting the use of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) by transforming variables from each cycle into harmonized, consistent versions that span survey cycles (currently, 2001 to 2018). CCHS data used in this library is accessed and adapted in accordance to the Statistics Canada Open Licence Agreement. This package uses rec_with_table(), which was developed from sjmisc rec().

Calculates daily climate water balance for irrigation purposes and also calculates the reference evapotranspiration (ET) using three methods, Penman and Monteith (Allen et al. 1998, ISBN:92-5-104219-5); Priestley and Taylor (1972) <doi:10/cr3qwn>; or Hargreaves and Samani (1985) <doi:10.13031/2013.26773>. Users may specify a management allowed depletion (MAD), which is used to suggest when to irrigate. The functionality allows for the use of crop and water stress coefficients as well.

Simulate one or many frequentist confidence clinical trials based on a specified set of parameters. From a two-arm, single-stage trial to a perpetually run Adaptive Platform Trial, this package offers vast flexibility to customize your trial and observe operational characterisitics over thousands of instances.

Publicly available COVID-19 data for Norway cleaned and merged into one dataset, including PCR confirmed cases, tests, hospitalisation and vaccination.

Interacting with binary files can be difficult because R's types are a subset of what is generally supported by C'. This package provides a suite of functions for reading and writing binary data (with files, connections, and raw vectors) using C type descriptions. These functions convert data between C types and R types while checking for values outside the type limits, NA values, etc.
