Included are two main interfaces, bentcable.ar() and bentcable.dev.plot(), for fitting and diagnosing bent-cable regressions for autoregressive time-series data (Chiu and Lockhart 2010, <doi:10.1002/cjs.10070>) or independent data (time series or otherwise - Chiu, Lockhart and Routledge 2006, <doi:10.1198/016214505000001177>). Some components in the package can also be used as stand-alone functions. The bent cable (linear-quadratic-linear) generalizes the broken stick (linear-linear), which is also handled by this package. Version 0.2 corrected a glitch in the computation of confidence intervals for the CTP. References that were updated from Versions 0.2.1 and 0.2.2 appear in Version 0.2.3 and up. Version 0.3.0 improved robustness of the error-message producing mechanism. Version 0.3.1 improves the NAMESPACE file of the package. It is the author's intention to distribute any future updates via GitHub.

This package provides functions to find edges for bibliometric networks like bibliographic coupling network, co-citation network and co-authorship network. The weights of network edges can be calculated according to different methods, depending on the type of networks, the type of nodes, and what you want to analyse. These functions are optimized to be be used on large dataset. The package contains functions inspired by: Leydesdorff, Loet and Park, Han Woo (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2016.11.007>; Perianes-Rodriguez, Antonio, Ludo Waltman, and Nees Jan Van Eck (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2016.10.006>; Sen, Subir K. and Shymal K. Gan (1983) <http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/28008>; Shen, Si, Zhu, Danhao, Rousseau, Ronald, Su, Xinning and Wang, Dongbo (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2019.01.012>; Zhao, Dangzhi and Strotmann, Andreas (2008) <doi:10.1002/meet.2008.1450450292>.

This package provides a curated collection of biodiversity and species-related datasets (birds, plants, reptiles, turtles, mammals, bees, marine data and related biological measurements), together with small utilities to load and explore them. The package gathers data sourced from public repositories (including Kaggle and well-known ecological/biological R packages) and standardizes access for researchers, educators, and data analysts working on biodiversity, biogeography, ecology and comparative biology. It aims to simplify reproducible workflows by packaging commonly used example datasets and metadata so they can be easily inspected, visualized, and used for teaching, testing, and prototyping analyses.

Generates bivariate residual plots with simulation polygons for any diagnostics and bivariate model from which functions to extract the desired diagnostics, simulate new data and refit the models are available.

Nowcasting right-truncated epidemiological data is critical for timely public health decision-making, as reporting delays can create misleading impressions of declining trends in recent data. This package provides nowcasting methods based on using empirical delay distributions and uncertainty from past performance. It is also designed to be used as a baseline method for developers of new nowcasting methods. For more details on the performance of the method(s) in this package applied to case studies of COVID-19 and norovirus, see our recent paper at <https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/10-614>. The package supports standard data frame inputs with reference date, report date, and count columns, as well as the direct use of reporting triangles, and is compatible with epinowcast objects. Alongside an opinionated default workflow, it has a low-level pipe-friendly modular interface, allowing context-specific workflows. It can accommodate a wide spectrum of reporting schedules, including mixed patterns of reference and reporting (daily-weekly, weekly-daily). It also supports sharing delay distributions and uncertainty estimates between strata, as well as custom uncertainty models and delay estimation methods.

For studying recurrent disease and death with competing risks, comparisons based on the well-known cumulative incidence function can be confounded by different prevalence rates of the competing events. Alternatively, comparisons of the conditional distribution of the survival time given the failure event type are more relevant for investigating the prognosis of different patterns of recurrence disease. This package implements a nonparametric estimator for the conditional cumulative incidence function and a nonparametric conditional bivariate cumulative incidence function for the bivariate gap times proposed in Huang et al. (2016) <doi:10.1111/biom.12494>.

Bayesian analysis of luminescence data and C-14 age estimates. Bayesian models are based on the following publications: Combes, B. & Philippe, A. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2017.02.003> and Combes et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2015.04.001>. This includes, amongst others, data import, export, application of age models and palaeodose model.

This package provides a comprehensive package to aid in the analysis of blood pressure data of all forms by providing both descriptive and visualization tools for researchers.

The Biomarker Optimal Segmentation System R package, bossR', is designed for precision medicine, helping to identify individual traits using biomarkers. It focuses on determining the most effective cutoff value for a continuous biomarker, which is crucial for categorizing patients into two groups with distinctly different clinical outcomes. The package simultaneously finds the optimal cutoff from given candidate values and tests its significance. Simulation studies demonstrate that bossR offers statistical power and false positive control non-inferior to the permutation approach (considered the gold standard in this field), while being hundreds of times faster.

Inflammation can affect many micronutrient biomarkers and can thus lead to incorrect diagnosis of individuals and to over- or under-estimate the prevalence of deficiency in a population. Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) is a multi-agency and multi-country partnership designed to improve the interpretation of nutrient biomarkers in settings of inflammation and to generate context-specific estimates of risk factors for anemia (Suchdev (2016) <doi:10.3945/an.115.010215>). In the past few years, BRINDA published a series of papers to provide guidance on how to adjust micronutrient biomarkers, retinol binding protein, serum retinol, serum ferritin by Namaste (2020), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum zinc, serum and Red Blood Cell (RBC) folate, and serum B-12, using inflammation markers, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and/or C-Reactive Protein (CRP) by Namaste (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqaa141>, Rohner (2017) <doi:10.3945/ajcn.116.142232>, McDonald (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz304>, and Young (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz303>. The BRINDA inflammation adjustment method mainly focuses on Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) and Preschool-age Children (PSC); however, the general principle of the BRINDA method might apply to other population groups. The BRINDA R package is a user-friendly all-in-one R package that uses a series of functions to implement BRINDA adjustment method, as described above. The BRINDA R package will first carry out rigorous checks and provides users guidance to correct data or input errors (if they occur) prior to inflammation adjustments. After no errors are detected, the package implements the BRINDA inflammation adjustment for up to five micronutrient biomarkers, namely retinol-binding-protein, serum retinol, serum ferritin, sTfR, and serum zinc (when appropriate), using inflammation indicators of AGP and/or CRP for various population groups. Of note, adjustment for serum and RBC folate and serum B-12 is not included in the R package, since evidence shows that no adjustment is needed for these micronutrient biomarkers in either WRA or PSC groups (Young (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz303>).

The BioTIME database was first published in 2018 and inspired ideas, questions, project and research article. To make it even more accessible, an R package was created. The BioTIMEr package provides tools designed to interact with the BioTIME database. The functions provided include the BioTIME recommended methods for preparing (gridding and rarefaction) time series data, a selection of standard biodiversity metrics (including species richness, numerical abundance and exponential Shannon) alongside examples on how to display change over time. It also includes a sample subset of both the query and meta data, the full versions of which are freely available on the BioTIME website <https://biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk/home.php>.
