Bayesian MCPMod (Fleischer et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/pst.2193>) is an innovative method that improves the traditional MCPMod by systematically incorporating historical data, such as previous placebo group data. This package offers functions for simulating, analyzing, and evaluating Bayesian MCPMod trials with normally and binary distributed endpoints. It enables the assessment of trial designs incorporating historical data across various true dose-response relationships and sample sizes. Robust mixture prior distributions, such as those derived with the Meta-Analytic-Predictive approach (Schmidli et al. (2014) <doi:10.1111/biom.12242>), can be specified for each dose group. Resulting mixture posterior distributions are used in the Bayesian Multiple Comparison Procedure and modeling steps. The modeling step also includes a weighted model averaging approach (Pinheiro et al. (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6052>). Estimated dose-response relationships can be bootstrapped and visualized.

Convert fitted objects from various R mixed-model packages into tidy data frames along the lines of the broom package. The package provides three S3 generics for each model: tidy(), which summarizes a model's statistical findings such as coefficients of a regression; augment(), which adds columns to the original data such as predictions, residuals and cluster assignments; and glance(), which provides a one-row summary of model-level statistics.

This package provides tools for the calculation of common biodiversity indices from count data. Additionally, it incorporates bootstrapping techniques to generate multiple samples, facilitating the estimation of confidence intervals around these indices. Furthermore, the package allows for the exploration of how variation in these indices changes with differing numbers of sites, making it a useful tool with which to begin an ecological analysis. Methods are based on the following references: Chao et al. (2014) <doi:10.1890/13-0133.1>, Chao and Colwell (2022) <doi:10.1002/9781119902911.ch2>, Hsieh, Ma,` and Chao (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12613>.

This package implements unit root tests for bounded time series following Cavaliere and Xu (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2013.08.012>. Standard unit root tests (ADF, Phillips-Perron) have non-standard limiting distributions when the time series is bounded. This package provides modified ADF and M-type tests (MZ-alpha, MZ-t, MSB) with p-values computed via Monte Carlo simulation of bounded Brownian motion. Supports one-sided (lower bound only) and two-sided bounds, with automatic lag selection using the MAIC criterion of Ng and Perron (2001) <doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00256>.

This package implements Bayesian hierarchical models with flexible Gaussian process priors, focusing on Extended Latent Gaussian Models and incorporating various Gaussian process priors for Bayesian smoothing. Computations leverage finite element approximations and adaptive quadrature for efficient inference. Methods are detailed in Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221134172>; Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2024) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2023.2289532>; Zhang, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2305.09914>; and Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13329>.

The Super Imposition by Translation and Rotation (SITAR) model is a shape-invariant nonlinear mixed effect model that fits a natural cubic spline mean curve to the growth data and aligns individual-specific growth curves to the underlying mean curve via a set of random effects (see Cole, 2010 <doi:10.1093/ije/dyq115> for details). The non-Bayesian version of the SITAR model can be fit by using the already available R package sitar'. Unlike the sitar package which allows modelling of a single outcome only, the bsitar package offers great flexibility in fitting models of varying complexities, including joint modelling of multiple outcomes such as height and weight (multivariate model). Additionally, the bsitar package allows for the simultaneous analysis of an outcome separately for subgroups defined by a factor variable such as gender. This is achieved by fitting separate models for each subgroup (for example males and females for gender variable). An advantage of this approach is that posterior draws for each subgroup are part of a single model object, making it possible to compare coefficients across subgroups and test hypotheses. Since the bsitar package is a front-end to the R package brms', it offers excellent support for post-processing of posterior draws via various functions that are directly available from the brms package. In addition, the bsitar package includes various customized functions that allow for the visualization of distance (increase in size with age) and velocity (change in growth rate as a function of age), as well as the estimation of growth spurt parameters such as age at peak growth velocity and peak growth velocity.

This package provides functions to create and select graphical themes for the base plotting system. Contains: 1) several custom pre-made themes 2) mechanism for creating new themes by making persistent changes to the graphical parameters of base plots.

This package implements the Butterworth-Induced Autoregressive ('BTWAR') model, where autoregressive coefficients are obtained from analog Butterworth filter prototypes mapped into the discrete-time domain using the Matched Z-Transform. The framework establishes a structured connection between frequency-domain filter design and time-domain autoregressive modeling. Model order selection is performed via nested rolling-origin cross-validation. Method described in Bras-Geraldes, Rocha and Martins (2026) <doi:10.3390/math14030479>.
