In many studies across different disciplines, detailed measures of the variables of interest are available. If assumptions can be made regarding the direction of effects between the assessed variables, this has to be considered in the analysis. The functions in this package implement the novel approach CIEE (causal inference using estimating equations; Konigorski et al., 2018, <DOI:10.1002/gepi.22107>) for estimating and testing the direct effect of an exposure variable on a primary outcome, while adjusting for indirect effects of the exposure on the primary outcome through a secondary intermediate outcome and potential factors influencing the secondary outcome. The underlying directed acyclic graph (DAG) of this considered model is described in the vignette. CIEE can be applied to studies in many different fields, and it is implemented here for the analysis of a continuous primary outcome and a time-to-event primary outcome subject to censoring. CIEE uses estimating equations to obtain estimates of the direct effect and robust sandwich standard error estimates. Then, a large-sample Wald-type test statistic is computed for testing the absence of the direct effect. Additionally, standard multiple regression, regression of residuals, and the structural equation modeling approach are implemented for comparison.

This package provides functions for implementing cmenet - a bi-level variable selection method for conditional main effects (see Mak and Wu (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1448828>). CMEs are reparametrized interaction effects which capture the conditional impact of a factor at a fixed level of another factor. Compared to traditional two-factor interactions, CMEs can quantify more interpretable interaction effects in many problems. The current implementation performs variable selection on only binary CMEs; we are working on an extension for the continuous setting.

This package provides a comprehensive framework for batch effect diagnostics, harmonization, and post-harmonization downstream analysis. Features include interactive visualization tools, robust statistical tests, and a range of harmonization techniques. Additionally, ComBatFamQC enables the creation of life-span age trend plots with estimated age-adjusted centiles and facilitates the generation of covariate-corrected residuals for analytical purposes. Methods for harmonization are based on approaches described in Johnson et al., (2007) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxj037>, Beer et al., (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117129>, Pomponio et al., (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116450>, and Chen et al., (2021) <doi:10.1002/hbm.25688>.

This package provides functions to check whether a vector of p-values respects the assumptions of FDR (false discovery rate) control procedures and to compute adjusted p-values.

Causal Inference Assistance (CIA) for performing causal inference within the structural causal modelling framework. Structure learning is performed using partition Markov chain Monte Carlo (Kuipers & Moffa, 2017) and several additional functions have been added to help with causal inference. Kuipers and Moffa (2017) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1133426>.

Convert text into synthesized speech and get a list of supported voices for a region. Microsoft's Cognitive Services Text to Speech REST API <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/rest-text-to-speech?tabs=streaming> supports neural text to speech voices, which support specific languages and dialects that are identified by locale.

Method for fitting a cellwise robust linear M-regression model (CRM, Filzmoser et al. (2020) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2020.106944>) that yields both a map of cellwise outliers consistent with the linear model, and a vector of regression coefficients that is robust against vertical outliers and leverage points. As a by-product, the method yields an imputed data set that contains estimates of what the values in cellwise outliers would need to amount to if they had fit the model. The package also provides diagnostic tools for analyzing casewise and cellwise outliers using sparse directions of maximal outlyingness (SPADIMO, Debruyne et al. (2019) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-018-9831-5>).

This package implements a wide range of model-based dose escalation designs, ranging from classical and modern continual reassessment methods (CRMs) based on dose-limiting toxicity endpoints to dual-endpoint designs taking into account a biomarker/efficacy outcome. The focus is on Bayesian inference, making it very easy to setup a new design with its own JAGS code. However, it is also possible to implement 3+3 designs for comparison or models with non-Bayesian estimation. The whole package is written in a modular form in the S4 class system, making it very flexible for adaptation to new models, escalation or stopping rules.

Compile inline C code and easily call with automatically generated wrapper functions. By allowing user-defined headers and compilation flags (preprocessor, compiler and linking flags) the user can configure optimization options and linking to third party libraries. Multiple functions may be defined in a single block of code - which may be defined in a string or a path to a source file.

Utility functions that allow checking the basic validity of a function argument or any other value, including generating an error and assigning a default in a single line of code. The main purpose of the package is to provide simple and easily readable argument checking to improve code robustness.

Create cumulative odds ratio plot to visually inspect the proportional odds assumption from the proportional odds model.

Downloads wrangled Colombian socioeconomic, geospatial,population and climate data from DANE <https://www.dane.gov.co/> (National Administrative Department of Statistics) and IDEAM (Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies). It solves the problem of Colombian data being issued in different web pages and sources by using functions that allow the user to select the desired database and download it without having to do the exhausting acquisition process.

Generate multivariate color palettes to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional data in graphics (in contrast to standard color palettes that represent just one variable). You tell colors3d how to map color space onto your data, and it gives you a color for each data point. You can then use these colors to make plots in base R', ggplot2', or other graphics frameworks.

This package provides a fast way to loop a character vector or file names as a menu in the console for the user to choose an option.

Enhancing T cell receptor (TCR) sequence analysis, ClusTCR2', based on ClusTCR python program, leverages Hamming distance to compare the complement-determining region three (CDR3) sequences for sequence similarity, variable gene (V gene) and length. The second step employs the Markov Cluster Algorithm to identify clusters within an undirected graph, providing a summary of amino acid motifs and matrix for generating network plots. Tailored for single-cell RNA-seq data with integrated TCR-seq information, ClusTCR2 is integrated into the Single Cell TCR and Expression Grouped Ontologies (STEGO) R application or STEGO.R'. See the two publications for more details. Sebastiaan Valkiers, Max Van Houcke, Kris Laukens, Pieter Meysman (2021) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab446>, Kerry A.

Testing functions for Covariance Matrices. These tests include high-dimension homogeneity of covariance matrix testing described by Schott (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2007.03.004> and high-dimensional one-sample tests of covariance matrix structure described by Fisher, et al. (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2010.07.004>. Covariance matrix tests use C++ to speed performance and allow larger data sets.
