Finding an optimal Bayesian experimental design involves maximizing an objective function given by the expectation of some appropriately chosen utility function with respect to the joint distribution of unknown quantities (including responses). This objective function is usually not available in closed form and the design space can be continuous and of high dimensionality. This package uses Approximate Coordinate Exchange (ACE) to maximise an approximation to the expectation of the utility function.

This package produces tables with the level of replication (number of replicates) and the experimental uncoded values of the quantitative factors to be used for rotatable Central Composite Design (CCD) experimentation and a 2-D contour plot of the corresponding variance of the predicted response according to Mead et al. (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139020879> design_ccd(), and analyzes CCD data with response surface methodology ccd_analysis(). A rotatable CCD provides values of the variance of the predicted response that are concentrically distributed around the average treatment combination used in the experimentation, which with uniform precision (implied by the use of several replicates at the average treatment combination) improves greatly the search and finding of an optimum response. These properties of a rotatable CCD represent undeniable advantages over the classical factorial design, as discussed by Panneton et al. (1999) <doi:10.13031/2013.13267> and Mead et al. (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139020879.018> among others.

This package provides a backward-pipe operator for magrittr (%<%) or pipeR (%<<%) that allows for a performing operations from right-to-left. This allows writing more legible code where right-to-left ordering is natural. This is common with hierarchies and nested structures such as trees, directories or markup languages (e.g. HTML and XML). The package also includes a R-Studio add-in that can be bound to a keyboard shortcut.

This package provides a method for identifying pattern changes between 2 experimental conditions in correlation networks (e.g., gene co-expression networks), which builds on a commonly used association measure, such as Pearson's correlation coefficient. This package includes functions to calculate correlation matrices for high-dimensional dataset and to test differential correlation, which means the changes in the correlation relationship among variables (e.g., genes and metabolites) between 2 experimental conditions.

This package provides tools for flexible non-linear least squares model fitting using general-purpose optimization techniques. The package supports a variety of optimization algorithms, including those provided by the optimx package, making it suitable for handling complex non-linear models. Features include parallel processing support via the future and foreach packages, comprehensive model diagnostics, and visualization capabilities. Implements methods described in Nash and Varadhan (2011, <doi:10.18637/jss.v043.i09>).

Graphical approach provides a useful framework for multiplicity adjustment in clinical trials with multiple endpoints. This package includes statistical methods to optimize sample size over initial weight and transition probability in a graphical approach under a common setting, which is to use marginal power for each endpoint in a trial design. See Zhang, F. and Gou, J. (2023). Sample size optimization for clinical trials using graphical approaches for multiplicity adjustment, Technical Report.

Changes of landscape diversity and structure can be detected soon if relying on landscape class combinations and analysing patterns at multiple scales. LandComp provides such an opportunity, based on Juhász-Nagy's functions (Juhász-Nagy P, Podani J 1983 <doi:10.1007/BF00129432>). Functions can handle multilayered data. Requirements of the input: binary data contained by a regular square or hexagonal grid, and the grid should have projected coordinates.

This package provides a toolkit containing statistical analysis models motivated by multivariate forms of the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (COM-Poisson) distribution for flexible modeling of multivariate count data, especially in the presence of data dispersion. Currently the package only supports bivariate data, via the bivariate COM-Poisson distribution described in Sellers et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2016.04.007>. Future development will extend the package to higher-dimensional data.

Publicly available data from Medicare frequently requires extensive initial effort to extract desired variables and merge them; this package formalizes the techniques I've found work best. More information on the Medicare program, as well as guidance for the publicly available data this package targets, can be found on CMS's website covering publicly available data. See <https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems.html>.

The Vega-Lite JavaScript framework provides a higher-level grammar for visual analysis, akin to ggplot or Tableau', that generates complete Vega specifications. Functions exist which enable building a valid spec from scratch or importing a previously created spec file. Functions also exist to export spec files and to generate code which will enable plots to be embedded in properly configured web pages. The default behavior is to generate an htmlwidget'.

Monocle 3 performs clustering, differential expression and trajectory analysis for single-cell expression experiments. It orders individual cells according to progress through a biological process, without knowing ahead of time which genes define progress through that process. Monocle 3 also performs differential expression analysis, clustering, visualization, and other useful tasks on single-cell expression data. It is designed to work with RNA-Seq data, but could be used with other types as well.

This package aims to make it easy to use various types of fonts (TrueType, OpenType, Type 1, web fonts, etc.) in R graphs, and supports most output formats of R graphics including PNG, PDF and SVG. Text glyphs will be converted into polygons or raster images, hence after the plot has been created, it no longer relies on the font files. No external software such as Ghostscript is needed to use this package.

Tree based algorithms can be improved by introducing boosting frameworks. LightGBM is one such framework, based on Ke, Guolin et al. (2017). This package offers an R interface to work with it. It is designed to be distributed and efficient with the following goals:

1. Faster training speed and higher efficiency;

2. lower memory usage;

3. better accuracy;

4. parallel learning supported; and

5. capable of handling large-scale data.

This package is a collection of baseline correction algorithms. Beside those it provides a framework and a Tcl/Tk enabled GUI for optimizing baseline algorithm parameters. Typical use is the removal of the background effects from spectra, which are originating from various types of spectroscopy and spectrometry. Also, there is a possibility of optimizing this with regard to regression or classification results. Correction methods include polynomial fitting, weighted local smoothers and many more.

This package provides a Bayesian data modeling scheme that performs four interconnected tasks: (i) characterizes the uncertainty of the elicited parametric prior; (ii) provides exploratory diagnostic for checking prior-data conflict; (iii) computes the final statistical prior density estimate; and (iv) executes macro- and micro-inference. Primary reference is Mukhopadhyay, S. and Fletcher, D. 2018 paper "Generalized Empirical Bayes via Frequentist Goodness of Fit" (<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28130-5 >).

Simulate and fitting exponential multivariate Hawkes model. This package simulates a multivariate Hawkes model, introduced by Hawkes (1971) <doi:10.2307/2334319>, with an exponential kernel and fits the parameters from the data. Models with the constant parameters, as well as complex dependent structures, can also be simulated and estimated. The estimation is based on the maximum likelihood method, introduced by introduced by Ozaki (1979) <doi:10.1007/BF02480272>, with maxLik package.

This package contains an implementation of an independent component analysis (ICA) for grouped data. The main function groupICA() performs a blind source separation, by maximizing an independence across sources and allows to adjust for varying confounding for user-specified groups. Additionally, the package contains the function uwedge() which can be used to approximately jointly diagonalize a list of matrices. For more details see the project website <https://sweichwald.de/groupICA/>.

The hotspots package is designed to look within a set of measured values of a variable and identify values that are disproportionately high based on both the deviance of any given value from a statistical distribution and its similarity to other values. Because this relative magnitude of each value is taken into account, a value that is a statistical outlier may not always be a hot spot if other values are similarly large.

Interactively explore various dependencies of a package(s) (on the Comprehensive R Archive Network Like repositories) and perform analysis using tidy philosophy. Most of the functions return a tibble object (enhancement of dataframe') which can be used for further analysis. The package offers functions to produce network and igraph dependency graphs. The plot method produces a static plot based on ggnetwork and plotd3 function produces an interactive D3 plot based on networkD3'.

The package includes routines to perform criterion-related profile analysis, profile analysis via multidimensional scaling, moderated profile analysis, profile analysis by group, and a within-person factor model to derive score profiles.

An implementation of the Elston-Stewart algorithm for calculating pedigree likelihoods given genetic marker data (Elston and Stewart (1971) <doi:10.1159/000152448>). The standard algorithm is extended to allow inbred founders. pedprobr is part of the pedsuite', a collection of packages for pedigree analysis in R. In particular, pedprobr depends on pedtools for pedigree manipulations and pedmut for mutation modelling. For more information, see Pedigree Analysis in R (Vigeland, 2021, ISBN:9780128244302).

Generic code for estimating treatment effects with panel data. The idea is to break into separate steps organizing the data, looping over groups and time periods, computing group-time average treatment effects, and aggregating group-time average treatment effects. Often, one is able to implement a new identification/estimation procedure by simply replacing the step on estimating group-time average treatment effects. See several different examples of this approach in the package documentation.

This package provides tools for the stochastic simulation of effectiveness scores to mitigate data-related limitations of Information Retrieval evaluation research, as described in Urbano and Nagler (2018) <doi:10.1145/3209978.3210043>. These tools include: fitting, selection and plotting distributions to model system effectiveness, transformation towards a prespecified expected value, proxy to fitting of copula models based on these distributions, and simulation of new evaluation data from these distributions and copula models.
