Detection of a statistically significant trend in the data provided by the user. This is based on the a signed test based on the binomial distribution. The package returns a trend test value, T, and also a p-value. A T value close to 1 indicates a rising trend, whereas a T value close to -1 indicates a decreasing trend. A T value close to 0 indicates no trend. There is also a command to visualize the trend. A test data set called gtsa_data is also available, which has global mean temperatures for January, April, July, and October for the years 1851 to 2022. Reference: Walpole, Myers, Myers, Ye. (2007, ISBN: 0-13-187711-9).

It brings together several aspects of biodiversity data-cleaning in one place. bdc is organized in thematic modules related to different biodiversity dimensions, including 1) Merge datasets: standardization and integration of different datasets; 2) pre-filter: flagging and removal of invalid or non-interpretable information, followed by data amendments; 3) taxonomy: cleaning, parsing, and harmonization of scientific names from several taxonomic groups against taxonomic databases locally stored through the application of exact and partial matching algorithms; 4) space: flagging of erroneous, suspect, and low-precision geographic coordinates; and 5) time: flagging and, whenever possible, correction of inconsistent collection date. In addition, it contains features to visualize, document, and report data quality â which is essential for making data quality assessment transparent and reproducible. The reference for the methodology is Ribeiro and colleagues (2022) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13868>.

Fit Bayesian Gaussian graphical models. The methods are separated into two Bayesian approaches for inference: hypothesis testing and estimation. There are extensions for confirmatory hypothesis testing, comparing Gaussian graphical models, and node wise predictability. These methods were recently introduced in the Gaussian graphical model literature, including Williams (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/x8dpr>, Williams and Mulder (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/ypxd8>, Williams, Rast, Pericchi, and Mulder (2019) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/yt386>.

Estimation of bifurcating autoregressive models of any order, p, BAR(p) as well as several types of bias correction for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Zhou and Basawa (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2005.04.024> and Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2020) <doi:10.1002/sta4.342>. Currently, the bias correction methods supported include bootstrap (single, double and fast-double) bias correction and linear-bias-function-based bias correction. Functions for generating and plotting bifurcating autoregressive data from any BAR(p) model are also included. This new version includes calculating several type of bias-corrected and -uncorrected confidence intervals for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2023) <doi:10.6339/23-JDS1092>.

Provide a sparse matrix format with data stored on disk, to be used in both R and C++. This is intended for more efficient use of sparse data in C++ and also when parallelizing, since data on disk does not need copying. Only a limited number of features will be implemented. For now, conversion can be performed from a dgCMatrix or a dsCMatrix from R package Matrix'. A new compact format is also now available.

This package provides high-level modeling functions to define and train models using the torch R package. Models include linear, logistic, and multinomial regression as well as multilayer perceptrons.

This package implements two algorithms of detecting Bull and Bear markets in stock prices: the algorithm of Pagan and Sossounov (2002, <doi:10.1002/jae.664>) and the algorithm of Lunde and Timmermann (2004, <doi:10.1198/073500104000000136>). The package also contains functions for printing out the dating of the Bull and Bear states of the market, the descriptive statistics of the states, and functions for plotting the results. For the sake of convenience, the package includes the monthly and daily data on the prices (not adjusted for dividends) of the S&P 500 stock market index.

Ecological alteration of degraded lands can improve their sustainability by addition of large amount of biomass to soil resulting in improved soil health. Soil biological parameters (such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling enzyme activity) are reactive to minute variations in soils [Ghosh et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.ecoleng.2021.106176> ]. Hence, biological activity index combining Urease, Alkaline Phosphatase, Dehydrogenase (DHA) & Beta-Glucosidase activity will assist in detecting early changes in restored land use systems [Patidar et al. (2023) <doi:10.3389/fsufs.2023.1230156>]. This package helps to calculate Biological Activity Index (BAI) based on vectors of Land Use System/treatment and control/reference Land Use System containing four values of Urease, Alkaline Phosphatase, DHA & Beta-Glucosidase. (DHA), urease (URE), fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis (FDA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities are measured in soil samples using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride, urea, fluorescein diacetate and p-nitro phenyl-phosphate as substrates, respectively.
