Implementation of Tobit type I and type II families for censored regression using the mgcv package, based on methods detailed in Woods (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1180986>.

The ConNEcT approach investigates the pairwise association strength of binary time series by calculating contingency measures and depicts the results in a network. The package includes features to explore and visualize the data. To calculate the pairwise concurrent or temporal sequenced relationship between the variables, the package provides seven contingency measures (proportion of agreement, classical & corrected Jaccard, Cohen's kappa, phi correlation coefficient, odds ratio, and log odds ratio), however, others can easily be implemented. The package also includes non-parametric significance tests, that can be applied to test whether the contingency value quantifying the relationship between the variables is significantly higher than chance level. Most importantly this test accounts for auto-dependence and relative frequency.See Bodner et al.(2021) <doi: 10.1111/bmsp.12222>.Finally, a network can be drawn. Variables depicted the nodes of the network, with the node size adapted to the prevalence. The association strength between the variables defines the undirected (concurrent) or directed (temporal sequenced) links between the nodes. The results of the non-parametric significance test can be included by depicting either all links or only the significant ones. Tutorial see Bodner et al.(2021) <doi:10.3758/s13428-021-01760-w>.

Provided are Computational methods for Immune Cell-type Subsets, including:(1) DCQ (Digital Cell Quantifier) to infer global dynamic changes in immune cell quantities within a complex tissue; and (2) VoCAL (Variation of Cell-type Abundance Loci) a deconvolution-based method that utilizes transcriptome data to infer the quantities of immune-cell types, and then uses these quantitative traits to uncover the underlying DNA loci.

Iterate and repel visually similar colors away in various ggplot2 plots. When many groups are plotted at the same time on multiple axes, for instance stacked bars or scatter plots, effectively ordering colors becomes difficult. This tool iterates through color combinations to find the best solution to maximize visual distinctness of nearby groups, so plots are more friendly toward colorblind users. This is achieved by two distance measurements, distance between groups within the plot, and CIELAB color space distances between colors as described in Carter et al., (2018) <doi:10.25039/TR.015.2018>.

This package implements higher order likelihood-based inference for logistic and loglinear models.

This package provides tools for extracting word and phrase frequencies from the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) database via the childesr API. Supports type-level word counts, token-mode searches with simple wildcard patterns and part-of-speech filters, optional stemming, and Zipf-scaled frequencies. Provides normalization per number of tokens or utterances, speaker-role breakdowns, dataset summaries, and export to Excel workbooks for reproducible child language research. The CHILDES database is maintained at <https://talkbank.org/childes/>.

Set of tools to compute metrics and indices for climate analysis. The package provides functions to compute extreme indices, evaluate the agreement between models and combine theses models into an ensemble. Multi-model time series of climate indices can be computed either after averaging the 2-D fields from different models provided they share a common grid or by combining time series computed on the model native grid. Indices can be assigned weights and/or combined to construct new indices. The package makes use of some of the methods described in: N. Manubens et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2018.01.018>.

This package provides a simple algorithm to generate a continuous epidemiological week index from date variables in a dataframe. Weeks are computed as sequential 7-day intervals starting from the earliest observed date. They do not reset at calendar year boundaries and are not ISO 8601 nor MMWR calendar weeks. The approach is intended for epidemiological modeling and time-series analysis where temporal continuity is required. The generated weeks are sequential and do not reset at calendar year boundaries.

For multiple testing. Computes estimates and confidence bounds for the False Discovery Proportion (FDP), the fraction of false positives among all rejected hypotheses. The methods in the package use permutations of the data. Doing so, they take into account the dependence structure in the data.

This package provides comprehensive cytokine profiling analysis through quality control using biologically meaningful cutoffs on raw cytokine measurements and by testing for distributional symmetry to recommend appropriate transformations.

Implementation of the empirical method to derive log2 counts per million (CPM) cutoff to filter out lowly expressed genes using ERCC spike-ins as described in Goll and Bosinger et.al (2022)<doi:10.1101/2022.06.23.497396>. This package utilizes the synthetic mRNA control pairs developed by the External RNA Controls Consortium (ERCC) (ERCC 1 / ERCC 2) that are spiked into sample pairs at known ratios at various absolute abundances. The relationship between the observed and expected fold changes is then used to empirically determine an optimal log2 CPM cutoff for filtering out lowly expressed genes.

This package provides functions for computing the one-sided p-values of the Cochran-Armitage trend test statistic for the asymptotic and the exact conditional test.

This estimator is for fitting a Cox proportional hazards model to data from a case-cohort study where the subcohort was selected by stratified simple random sampling.

Finds the most likely originating tissue(s) and developmental stage(s) of tissue-specific RNA sequencing data. The package identifies both pure transcriptomes and mixtures of transcriptomes. The most likely identity is found through comparisons of the sequencing data with high-throughput in situ hybridisation patterns. Typical uses are the identification of cancer cell origins, validation of cell culture strain identities, validation of single-cell transcriptomes, and validation of identity and purity of flow-sorting and dissection sequencing products.

Additionally there are two plot functions for the resulting correlation matrix: The first one creates colored 2D plots, while the second one generates 3D plots.

Colocalisation analysis tests whether two traits share a causal genetic variant in a specified genomic region. Proportional testing for colocalisation has been previously proposed [Wallace (2013) <doi:10.1002/gepi.21765>], but is reimplemented here to overcome barriers to its adoption. Its use is complementary to the fine- mapping based colocalisation method in the coloc package, and may be used in particular to identify false "H3" conclusions in coloc'.
