Prior transcription factor binding knowledge and target gene expression data are integrated in a Bayesian framework for functional cis-regulatory module inference. Using Gibbs sampling, we iteratively estimate transcription factor associations for each gene, regulation strength for each binding event and the hidden activity for each transcription factor.

It brings together several aspects of biodiversity data-cleaning in one place. bdc is organized in thematic modules related to different biodiversity dimensions, including 1) Merge datasets: standardization and integration of different datasets; 2) pre-filter: flagging and removal of invalid or non-interpretable information, followed by data amendments; 3) taxonomy: cleaning, parsing, and harmonization of scientific names from several taxonomic groups against taxonomic databases locally stored through the application of exact and partial matching algorithms; 4) space: flagging of erroneous, suspect, and low-precision geographic coordinates; and 5) time: flagging and, whenever possible, correction of inconsistent collection date. In addition, it contains features to visualize, document, and report data quality â which is essential for making data quality assessment transparent and reproducible. The reference for the methodology is Ribeiro and colleagues (2022) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13868>.

Derived from the work of Kruschke (2015, <ISBN:9780124058880>), the present package aims to provide a framework for conducting Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling utilizing the Just Another Gibbs Sampler ('JAGS', Plummer, 2003, <https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io>). The initial version includes several modules for conducting Bayesian equivalents of chi-squared tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple (hierarchical) regression, softmax regression, and for fitting data (e.g., structural equation modeling).

This package provides computational tools to generate efficient blocked and unblocked fractional factorial designs for two-level and three-level factors using the generalized Minimum Aberration (MA) criterion and related optimization algorithms. Methodological foundations include the general theory of minimum aberration as described by Cheng and Tang (2005) <doi:10.1214/009053604000001228>, and the catalogue of three-level regular fractional factorial designs developed by Xu (2005) <doi:10.1007/s00184-005-0408-x>. The main functions dol2() and dol3() generate blocked two-level and three-level fractional factorial designs, respectively, using beam search, optimization-based ranking, confounding assessment, and structured output suitable for complete factorial situations.

This package provides a Bayesian latent space model for complex networks, either weighted or unweighted. Given an observed input graph, the estimates for the latent coordinates of the nodes are obtained through a Bayesian MCMC algorithm. The overall likelihood of the graph depends on a fundamental probability equation, which is defined so that ties are more likely to exist between nodes whose latent space coordinates are close. The package is mainly based on the model by Hoff, Raftery and Handcock (2002) <doi:10.1198/016214502388618906> and contains some extra features (e.g., removal of the Procrustean step, weights implemented as coefficients of the latent distances, 3D plots). The original code related to the above model was retrieved from <https://www2.stat.duke.edu/~pdh10/Code/hoff_raftery_handcock_2002_jasa/>. Users can inspect the MCMC simulation, create and customize insightful graphical representations or apply clustering techniques.

This package provides functions to calculate Biological Condition Gradient (BCG) using input files with one row per sample with metric values and site classes as columns. A second file with the BCG Rules (example included) to define the memberships is also needed. The three main functions convert metric scores to metric memberships following fuzzy set BCG Rules (BCG.Level.Assignment), combine metric memberships to level memberships according to BCG Rules (BCG.Level.Membership), and then assign a BCG primary and secondary level based on level memberships (BCG.Level.Assignment). Originally developed as a package for use with BCG for Puget Lowland/Willamette Valley but has been further enhanced for use with multiple communities (benthic macroinvertebrates, fish, periphyton, or coral) and different rule sets.
