This package provides methods and plotting functions for displaying categorical data on an interactive heatmap using plotly'. Provides functionality for strictly categorical heatmaps, heatmaps illustrating categorized continuous data and annotated heatmaps. Also, there are various options to interact with the x-axis to prevent overlapping axis labels, e.g. via simple sliders or range sliders. Besides the viewer pane, resulting plots can be saved as a standalone HTML file, embedded in R Markdown documents or in a Shiny app.

Generate synthetic station-based monthly climate time-series including temperature and rainfall, export to Network Common Data Form (NetCDF), and provide visualization helpers for climate workflows. The approach is inspired by statistical weather generator concepts described in Wilks (1992) <doi:10.1016/S0168-1923(99)00037-4> and Richardson (1981) <doi:10.1029/WR017i001p00182>.

Includes routines to plot the results in a variety of styles. Also reports the standard numerical output for correspondence analysis.

Estimating mutation and selection coefficients on synonymous codon bias usage based on models of ribosome overhead cost (ROC). Multinomial logistic regression and Markov Chain Monte Carlo are used to estimate and predict protein production rates with/without the presence of expressions and measurement errors. Work flows with examples for simulation, estimation and prediction processes are also provided with parallelization speedup. The whole framework is tested with yeast genome and gene expression data of Yassour, et al. (2009) <doi:10.1073/pnas.0812841106>.

Coalescent simulators can rapidly simulate biological sequences evolving according to a given model of evolution. You can use this package to specify such models, to conduct the simulations and to calculate additional statistics from the results (Staab, Metzler, 2016 <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw098>). It relies on existing simulators for doing the simulation, and currently supports the programs ms', msms and scrm'. It also supports finite-sites mutation models by combining the simulators with the program seq-gen'. Coala provides functions for calculating certain summary statistics, which can also be applied to actual biological data. One possibility to import data is through the PopGenome package (<https://github.com/pievos101/PopGenome>).

This package provides functions for building cognitive maps based on qualitative data. Inputs are textual sources (articles, transcription of qualitative interviews of agents,...). These sources have been coded using relations and are linked to (i) a table describing the variables (or concepts) used for the coding and (ii) a table describing the sources (typology of agents, ...). Main outputs are Individual Cognitive Maps (ICM), Social Cognitive Maps (all sources or group of sources) and a list of quotes linked to relations. This package is linked to the work done during the PhD of Frederic M. Vanwindekens (CRA-W / UCL) hold the 13 of May 2014 at University of Louvain in collaboration with the Walloon Agricultural Research Centre (project MIMOSA, MOERMAN fund).

Useful tools for fitting, validating, and forecasting of practical convolution-closed time series models for low counts are provided. Marginal distributions of the data can be modelled via Poisson and Generalized Poisson innovations. Regression effects can be incorporated through time varying innovation rates. The models are described in Jung and Tremayne (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9892.2010.00697.x> and the model assessment tools are presented in Czado et al. (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2009.01191.x> and, Tsay (1992) <doi:10.2307/2347612>.

Based on fishery Catch Dynamics instead of fish Population Dynamics (hence CatDyn) and using high-frequency or medium-frequency catch in biomass or numbers, fishing nominal effort, and mean fish body weight by time step, from one or two fishing fleets, estimate stock abundance, natural mortality rate, and fishing operational parameters. It includes methods for data organization, plotting standard exploratory and analytical plots, predictions, for 100 types of models of increasing complexity, and 72 likelihood models for the data.

This package provides a curated list of copepod-fish ecological interaction records. It contains the taxonomy of the copepod and the fish and the publication from which the information was obtained. This database contains only marine and brackish water fish species. It excludes fish species that inhabit only freshwater.

When taking online surveys, participants sometimes respond to items without regard to their content. These types of responses, referred to as careless or insufficient effort responding, constitute significant problems for data quality, leading to distortions in data analysis and hypothesis testing, such as spurious correlations. The R package careless provides solutions designed to detect such careless / insufficient effort responses by allowing easy calculation of indices proposed in the literature. It currently supports the calculation of longstring, even-odd consistency, psychometric synonyms/antonyms, Mahalanobis distance, and intra-individual response variability (also termed inter-item standard deviation). For a review of these methods, see Curran (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jesp.2015.07.006>.

Several causal effects are measured using least squares regressions and basis function approximations. Backward and forward selection methods based on different criteria are used to select the basis functions.

This package provides routines for the generation of response patterns under unidimensional dichotomous and polytomous computerized adaptive testing (CAT) framework. It holds many standard functions to estimate ability, select the first item(s) to administer and optimally select the next item, as well as several stopping rules. Options to control for item exposure and content balancing are also available (Magis and Barrada (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.c01>).

This package contains the Correlates of State Policy Project dataset (+ codebook) assembled by Marty P. Jordan and Matt Grossmann (2020) <http://ippsr.msu.edu/public-policy/correlates-state-policy> used by the cspp package. The Correlates data contains over 3000 variables across more than 100 years that pertain to state politics and policy in the United States.

Various statistical methods and models which are typically used for the estimation of outstanding claims reserves in general insurance, including those to estimate the claims development result as required under Solvency II.

Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega are widely used reliability or internal consistency measures in social, behavioral and education sciences. Alpha is reported in nearly every study that involves measuring a construct through multiple test items. The package coefficientalpha calculates coefficient alpha and coefficient omega with missing data and non-normal data. Robust standard errors and confidence intervals are also provided. A test is also available to test the tau-equivalent and homogeneous assumptions. Since Version 0.5, the bootstrap confidence intervals were added.

An implementation of several functions for feature extraction in categorical time series datasets. Specifically, some features related to marginal distributions and serial dependence patterns can be computed. These features can be used to feed clustering and classification algorithms for categorical time series, among others. The package also includes some interesting datasets containing biological sequences. Practitioners from a broad variety of fields could benefit from the general framework provided by ctsfeatures'.
