Bayesian analysis of luminescence data and C-14 age estimates. Bayesian models are based on the following publications: Combes, B. & Philippe, A. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2017.02.003> and Combes et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2015.04.001>. This includes, amongst others, data import, export, application of age models and palaeodose model.

This package provides a set of functions to allow analysis of count data (such as faecal egg count data) using Bayesian MCMC methods. Returns information on the possible values for mean count, coefficient of variation and zero inflation (true prevalence) present in the data. A complete faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) model is implemented, which returns inference on the true efficacy of the drug from the pre- and post-treatment data provided, using non-parametric bootstrapping as well as using Bayesian MCMC. Functions to perform power analyses for faecal egg counts (including FECRT) are also provided.

Fits a Bayesian zero-inflated Bernoulli regression model handling (potentially) different covariates for the zero-inflated and non zero-inflated parts. See Moriña D, Puig P, Navarro A. (2021) <doi:10.1186/s12874-021-01427-2>.

This package implements Friedman's gradient descent boosting algorithm for modeling longitudinal response using multivariate tree base learners. Longitudinal response could be continuous, binary, nominal or ordinal. A time-covariate interaction effect is modeled using penalized B-splines (P-splines) with estimated adaptive smoothing parameter. Although the package is design for longitudinal data, it can handle cross-sectional data as well. Implementation details are provided in Pande et al. (2017), Mach Learn <DOI:10.1007/s10994-016-5597-1>.

This package provides tools to process the information obtained from experiments conducted in the Barnes Maze. These tools enable the detection of trajectories generated by subjects during trials, as well as the acquisition of precise coordinates and relevant statistical data regarding the results. Through this approach, it aims to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of observed behaviors, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of learning and memory processes in such experiments.

Our recently developed fully robust Bayesian semiparametric mixed-effect model for high-dimensional longitudinal studies with heterogeneous observations can be implemented through this package. This model can distinguish between time-varying interactions and constant-effect-only cases to avoid model misspecifications. Facilitated by spike-and-slab priors, this model leads to superior performance in estimation, identification and statistical inference. In particular, robust Bayesian inferences in terms of valid Bayesian credible intervals on both parametric and nonparametric effects can be validated on finite samples. The Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms of the proposed and alternative models are efficiently implemented in C++'.

Computational tools for outlier detection and influence diagnostics in meta-analysis (Noma et al. (2025) <doi:10.1101/2025.09.18.25336125>). Bootstrap distributions of influence statistics are computed, and explicit thresholds for identifying outliers are provided. These methods can also be applied to the analysis of influential centers or regions in multicenter or multiregional clinical trials (Aoki, Noma and Gosho (2021) <doi:10.1080/24709360.2021.1921944>, Nakamura and Noma (2021) <doi:10.5691/jjb.41.117>).

This package provides a Bayesian framework for estimating distributed lag linear and non-linear models. Model fitting is implemented using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (R package INLA'), together with prediction and visualization of exposure-lag-response associations. Additional functions allow estimation of optimal exposure values (e.g., minimum mortality temperature) and computation of attributable fractions and numbers. Models with crossbasis or onebasis terms are supported (R package dlnm').

Investigating and visualising Bayesian Additive Regression Tree (BART) (Chipman, H. A., George, E. I., & McCulloch, R. E. 2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285> model fits. We construct conventional plots to analyze a modelâ s performance and stability as well as create new tree-based plots to analyze variable importance, interaction, and tree structure. We employ Value Suppressing Uncertainty Palettes (VSUP) to construct heatmaps that display variable importance and interactions jointly using colour scale to represent posterior uncertainty. Our visualisations are designed to work with the most popular BART R packages available, namely BART Rodney Sparapani and Charles Spanbauer and Robert McCulloch 2021 <doi:10.18637/jss.v097.i01>, dbarts (Vincent Dorie 2023) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=dbarts>, and bartMachine (Adam Kapelner and Justin Bleich 2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i04>.

Estimation of hierarchical Bayesian vector autoregressive models following Kuschnig & Vashold (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i14>. Implements hierarchical prior selection for conjugate priors in the fashion of Giannone, Lenza & Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483>. Functions to compute and identify impulse responses, calculate forecasts, forecast error variance decompositions and scenarios are available. Several methods to print, plot and summarise results facilitate analysis.

Audits published or draft plant breeding tables for internal arithmetic consistency. Analysis of variance tables, precision statistics and genetic variability parameters are jointly over-determined by exact algebraic identities; BKVerify recomputes every derivable quantity using rounding-interval arithmetic and reports a value as inconsistent only when no combination of values inside the reported rounding intervals can satisfy the identity. The package deliberately restricts itself to relationships that hold irrespective of which variance-component definition an author adopted, so that flagged results reflect arithmetic inconsistency rather than methodological disagreement. Implemented checks cover analysis of variance internal structure, coefficient of variation, standard error of mean and critical difference, the genetic advance identity of Johnson, Robinson and Comstock (1955) <doi:10.2134/agronj1955.00021962004700070009x>, the relation between genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation and broad-sense heritability, and admissibility of reported correlation matrices.

Explicit index life cycle helpers, stronger metadata validation, descriptor-aware file-backed workflows, and benchmark helpers are also included.

Unified and user-friendly framework for using new distributional representations of biosensors data in different statistical modeling tasks: regression models, hypothesis testing, cluster analysis, visualization, and descriptive analysis. Distributional representations are a functional extension of compositional time-range metrics and we have used them successfully so far in modeling glucose profiles and accelerometer data. However, these functional representations can be used to represent any biosensor data such as ECG or medical imaging such as fMRI. Matabuena M, Petersen A, Vidal JC, Gude F. "Glucodensities: A new representation of glucose profiles using distributional data analysis" (2021) <doi:10.1177/0962280221998064>.

An implementation of a collection of tools for exact Bayesian inference with discrete times series. This package contains functions that can be used for prediction, model selection, estimation, segmentation/change-point detection and other statistical tasks. Specifically, the functions provided can be used for the exact computation of the prior predictive likelihood of the data, for the identification of the a posteriori most likely (MAP) variable-memory Markov models, for calculating the exact posterior probabilities and the AIC and BIC scores of these models, for prediction with respect to log-loss and 0-1 loss and segmentation/change-point detection. Example data sets from finance, genetics, animal communication and meteorology are also provided. Detailed descriptions of the underlying theory and algorithms can be found in [Kontoyiannis et al. Bayesian Context Trees: Modelling and exact inference for discrete time series. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), April 2022. Available at: <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2007.14900> [stat.ME], July 2020] and [Lungu et al.

This package implements the Bayesian FDR control described by Newton et al. (2004), <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/5.2.155>. Allows optimisation and visualisation of expected error rates based on tail posterior probability tests. Based on code written by Catalina Vallejos for BASiCS, see Beyond comparisons of means: understanding changes in gene expression at the single-cell level Vallejos et al.

This package provides functions for the evaluation of basket trial designs with binary endpoints. Operating characteristics of a basket trial design are assessed by simulating trial data according to scenarios, analyzing the data with Bayesian hierarchical models (BHMs), and assessing decision probabilities on stratum and trial-level based on Go / No-go decision making. The package is build for high flexibility regarding decision rules, number of interim analyses, number of strata, and recruitment. The BHMs proposed by Berry et al. (2013) <doi:10.1177/1740774513497539> and Neuenschwander et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/pst.1730>, as well as a model that combines both approaches are implemented. Functions are provided to implement Bayesian decision rules as for example proposed by Fisch et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/2168479014533970>. In addition, posterior point estimates (mean/median) and credible intervals for response rates and some model parameters can be calculated. For simulated trial data, bias and mean squared errors of posterior point estimates for response rates can be provided.
