The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) provides one of the most comprehensive time series databases on the Turkish economy. The CBRT package provides functions for accessing the CBRT's electronic data delivery system <https://evds2.tcmb.gov.tr/>. It contains the lists of all data categories and data groups for searching the available variables (data series). As of November 3, 2024, there were 40,826 variables in the dataset. The lists of data categories and data groups can be updated by the user at any time. A specific variable, a group of variables, or all variables in a data group can be downloaded at different frequencies using a variety of aggregation methods.

This package provides a general test for conditional independence in supervised learning algorithms as proposed by Watson & Wright (2021) <doi:10.1007/s10994-021-06030-6>. Implements a conditional variable importance measure which can be applied to any supervised learning algorithm and loss function. Provides statistical inference procedures without parametric assumptions and applies equally well to continuous and categorical predictors and outcomes.

Can be useful for finding associations among different positions in a position-wise aligned sequence dataset. The approach adopted for finding associations among positions is based on the latent multivariate normal distribution.

Fit and apply ComBat, linear mixed-effects models (LMM), or prescaling to harmonize magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from different sites. Briefly, these methods remove differences between sites due to using different scanning devices, and LMM additionally tests linear hypotheses. As detailed in the manual, the original ComBat function was first modified for the harmonization of MRI data (Fortin et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.11.024>) and then modified again to create separate functions for fitting and applying the harmonization and allow missing values and constant rows for its use within the Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium (Radua et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.116956>); this package includes the latter version. LMM calls "lme" massively considering specific brain imaging details. Finally, prescaling is a good option for fMRI, where different devices can have varying units of measurement.

This package provides a tool to estimate IRT item parameters (2 PL) using CTT-based item statistics from small samples via artificial neural networks and regression trees.

The primary function makeCPMSampler() generates a sampler function which performs the correlated pseudo-marginal method of Deligiannidis, Doucet and Pitt (2017) <arXiv:1511.04992>. If the rho= argument of makeCPMSampler() is set to 0, then the generated sampler function performs the original pseudo-marginal method of Andrieu and Roberts (2009) <DOI:10.1214/07-AOS574>. The sampler function is constructed with the user's choice of prior, parameter proposal distribution, and the likelihood approximation scheme. Note that this algorithm is not automatically tuned--each one of these arguments must be carefully chosen.

Estimate bivariate common mean vector under copula models with known correlation. In the current version, available copulas are the Clayton, Gumbel, Frank, Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM), and normal copulas. See Shih et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/02331888.2019.1581782> and Shih et al. (2021) <under review> for details under the FGM and general copulas, respectively.

This package provides functions for classical test theory analysis, following methods presented by Wu et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/978-981-10-3302-5>.

Designed for web usage data analysis, it implements tools to process web sequences and identify web browsing profiles through sequential classification. Sequences clusters are identified by using a model-based approach, specifically mixture of discrete time first-order Markov models for categorical web sequences. A Bayesian approach is used to estimate model parameters and identify sequences classification as proposed by Fruehwirth-Schnatter and Pamminger (2010) <doi:10.1214/10-BA606>.

This package provides functions for microbiome data analysis that take into account its compositional nature. Performs variable selection through penalized regression for both, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, and for binary and continuous outcomes.

Model-based clustering of mixed data (i.e. data which consist of continuous, binary, ordinal or nominal variables) using a parsimonious mixture of latent Gaussian variable models.

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>.

Correlates of protection (CoP) and correlates of risk (CoR) study the immune biomarkers associated with an infectious disease outcome, e.g. COVID or HIV-1 infection. This package contains shared functions for analyzing CoP and CoR, including bootstrapping procedures, competing risk estimation, and bootstrapping marginalized risks.

Temporally autocorrelated populations are correlated in their vital rates (growth, death, etc.) from year to year. It is very common for populations, whether they be bacteria, plants, or humans, to be temporally autocorrelated. This poses a challenge for stochastic population modeling, because a temporally correlated population will behave differently from an uncorrelated one. This package provides tools for simulating populations with white noise (no temporal autocorrelation), red noise (positive temporal autocorrelation), and blue noise (negative temporal autocorrelation). The algebraic formulation for autocorrelated noise comes from Ruokolainen et al. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.tree.2009.04.009>. Models for unstructured populations and for structured populations (matrix models) are available.

We present corto (Correlation Tool), a simple package to infer gene regulatory networks and visualize master regulators from gene expression data using DPI (Data Processing Inequality) and bootstrapping to recover edges. An initial step is performed to calculate all significant edges between a list of source nodes (centroids) and target genes. Then all triplets containing two centroids and one target are tested in a DPI step which removes edges. A bootstrapping process then calculates the robustness of the network, eventually re-adding edges previously removed by DPI. The algorithm has been optimized to run outside a computing cluster, using a fast correlation implementation. The package finally provides functions to calculate network enrichment analysis from RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq signatures as described in the article by Giorgi lab (2020) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa223>.
