Diagnostic and prognostic models are typically evaluated with measures of accuracy that do not address clinical consequences. Decision-analytic techniques allow assessment of clinical outcomes, but often require collection of additional information may be cumbersome to apply to models that yield a continuous result. Decision curve analysis is a method for evaluating and comparing prediction models that incorporates clinical consequences, requires only the data set on which the models are tested, and can be applied to models that have either continuous or dichotomous results. See the following references for details on the methods: Vickers (2006) <doi:10.1177/0272989X06295361>, Vickers (2008) <doi:10.1186/1472-6947-8-53>, and Pfeiffer (2020) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201800240>.

This package provides functions for computing the density, distribution, and random generation of the Decision Diffusion model (DDM), a widely used cognitive model for analysing choice and response time data. The package allows model specification, including the ability to fix, constrain, or vary parameters across experimental conditions. While it does not include a built-in optimiser, it supports likelihood evaluation and can be integrated with external tools for parameter estimation. Functions for simulating synthetic datasets are also provided. This package is intended for researchers modelling speeded decision-making in behavioural and cognitive experiments. For more information, see Voss, Rothermund, and Voss (2004) <doi:10.3758/BF03196893>, Voss and Voss (2007) <doi:10.3758/BF03192967>, and Ratcliff and McKoon (2008) <doi:10.1162/neco.2008.12-06-420>.

By systematically aggregating and processing textual reports from earthquakes, floods, storms, wildfires, and other natural disasters, the framework enables a holistic assessment of crisis narratives. Intelligent cleaning and normalization techniques transform raw commentary into structured data, ensuring precise extraction of disaster-specific insights. Collective sentiments of affected communities are quantitatively scored and qualitatively categorized, providing a multifaceted view of societal responses under duress. Interactive geographic maps and temporal charts illustrate the evolution and spatial dispersion of emotional reactions and impact indicators.

Draw samples from the direct sampling spatial prior model as described in G. White, D. Sun, P. Speckman (2019) <arXiv:1906.05575>. The basic model assumes a Gaussian likelihood and derives a spatial prior based on thin-plate splines.

Flexibly convert data between long and wide format using just two functions: reshape_toLong() and reshape_toWide().

This package provides a general framework using mixture Weibull distributions to accurately predict biomarker-guided trial duration accounting for heterogeneous population. Extensive simulations are performed to evaluate the impact of heterogeneous population and the dynamics of biomarker characteristics and disease on the study duration. Several influential parameters including median survival time, enrollment rate, biomarker prevalence and effect size are identified. Efficiency gains of biomarker-guided trials can be quantitatively compared to the traditional all-comers design. For reference, see Zhang et al. (2024) <arXiv:2401.00540>.

Given count data from two conditions, it determines which transcripts are differentially expressed across the two conditions using Bayesian inference of the parameters of a bottom-up model for PCR amplification. This model is developed in Ndifon Wilfred, Hilah Gal, Eric Shifrut, Rina Aharoni, Nissan Yissachar, Nir Waysbort, Shlomit Reich Zeliger, Ruth Arnon, and Nir Friedman (2012), <http://www.pnas.org/content/109/39/15865.full>, and results in a distribution for the counts that is a superposition of the binomial and negative binomial distribution.

This package provides a collection of methods for automated data cleaning where all actions are logged.

The dfmirroR package allows users to input a data frame, simulate some number of observations based on specified columns of that data frame, and then outputs a string that contains the code to re-create the simulation. The goal is to both provide workable test data sets and provide users with the information they need to set up reproducible examples with team members. This package was created out of a need to share examples in cases where data are private and where a full data frame is not needed for testing or coordinating.

For our earlier work, we refer to Arntzen et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9726>. A paper describing our approach in detail will follow.

This package provides a Bayesian framework for parameter inference in differential equations. This approach offers a rigorous methodology for parameter inference as well as modeling the link between unobservable model states and parameters, and observable quantities. Provides templates for the DE model, the observation model and data likelihood, and the model parameters and their prior distributions. A Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure processes these inputs to estimate the posterior distributions of the parameters and any derived quantities, including the model trajectories. Further functionality is provided to facilitate MCMC diagnostics and the visualisation of the posterior distributions of model parameters and trajectories.
