Concept maps are versatile tools used across disciplines to enhance understanding, teaching, brainstorming, and information organization. This package provides functions for processing and visualizing concept mapping data, involving the sequential use of cluster analysis (for sorting participants and statements), multidimensional scaling (for positioning statements in a conceptual space), and visualization techniques, including point cluster maps and dendrograms. The methodology and its validity are discussed in Kampen, J.K., Hageman, J.A., Breuer, M., & Tobi, H. (2025). "The validity of concept mapping: let's call a spade a spade." Qual Quant. <doi:10.1007/s11135-025-02351-z>.

An implementation of methods for causal discovery in a structural causal model where the conditional distribution of the target node is described by a generalized linear model conditional on its causal parents.

Estimation of population size of migratory caribou herds based on large scale aggregations monitored by radio telemetry. It implements the methodology found in the article by Rivest et al. (1998) about caribou abundance estimation. It also includes a function based on the Lincoln-Petersen Index as applied to radio telemetry data by White and Garrott (1990).

This package provides a set of utilities for matching products in different classification codes used in international trade research. It supports concordance between the Harmonized System (HS0, HS1, HS2, HS3, HS4, HS5, HS combined), the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC1, SITC2, SITC3, SITC4), the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS combined), as well as the Broad Economic Categories (BEC), the International Standard of Industrial Classification (ISIC), and the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). It also provides code nomenclature/descriptions look-up, Rauch classification look-up (via concordance to SITC2), and trade elasticity look-up (via concordance to HS0 or SITC3 codes).

We present corto (Correlation Tool), a simple package to infer gene regulatory networks and visualize master regulators from gene expression data using DPI (Data Processing Inequality) and bootstrapping to recover edges. An initial step is performed to calculate all significant edges between a list of source nodes (centroids) and target genes. Then all triplets containing two centroids and one target are tested in a DPI step which removes edges. A bootstrapping process then calculates the robustness of the network, eventually re-adding edges previously removed by DPI. The algorithm has been optimized to run outside a computing cluster, using a fast correlation implementation. The package finally provides functions to calculate network enrichment analysis from RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq signatures as described in the article by Giorgi lab (2020) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa223>.

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.

The Core Microbiome refers to the group of microorganisms that are consistently present in a particular environment, habitat, or host species. These microorganisms play a crucial role in the functioning and stability of that ecosystem. Identifying these microorganisms can contribute to the emerging field of personalized medicine. The CoreMicrobiomeR is designed to facilitate the identification, statistical testing, and visualization of this group of microorganisms.This package offers three key functions to analyze and visualize microbial community data. This package has been developed based on the research papers published by Pereira et al.(2018) <doi:10.1186/s12864-018-4637-6> and Beule L, Karlovsky P. (2020) <doi:10.7717/peerj.9593>.
