This package provides functions to download and work with the Bangladesh Environmental Mobility Panel (BEMP), a household panel survey tracing the impacts of riverbank erosion and flooding on (im)mobility, socio-economic outcomes, and political attitudes along the Jamuna River in Bangladesh (2021-2024). Wave datasets (20 files across 14 survey rounds) are hosted on Zenodo (<doi:10.5281/zenodo.18229497>) and downloaded on demand with local caching. Bundled data include a merged cross-wave codebook and wave metadata.

Finds the best block diagonal matrix approximation of a symmetric matrix. This can be exploited for divisive hierarchical clustering using singular vectors, named HC-SVD. The method is described in Bauer (202X) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.06820>.

Fully Bayesian Classification with a subset of high-dimensional features, such as expression levels of genes. The data are modeled with a hierarchical Bayesian models using heavy-tailed t distributions as priors. When a large number of features are available, one may like to select only a subset of features to use, typically those features strongly correlated with the response in training cases. Such a feature selection procedure is however invalid since the relationship between the response and the features has be exaggerated by feature selection. This package provides a way to avoid this bias and yield better-calibrated predictions for future cases when one uses F-statistic to select features.

This package provides tools for fitting Bayesian single index models with flexible choices of priors for both the index and the link function. The package implements model estimation and posterior inference using efficient MCMC algorithms built on the nimble framework, allowing users to specify, extend, and simulate models in a unified and reproducible manner. The following methods are implemented in the package: Antoniadis et al. (2004) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/24307224>, Wang (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2008.12.010>, Choi et al. (2011) <doi:10.1080/10485251003768019>, Dhara et al. (2019) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1170>, McGee et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/biom.13569>.

This package provides a modular framework for standardized analysis of thermal imaging data in animal experimentation. The package integrates thermographic data import (FLIR, raw, CSV), automated region of interest (ROI) segmentation based on EBImage (Pau et al., 2010 <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq046>), interactive ROI refinement, and high-throughput batch processing.

This package provides a suite of tools to mitigate sampling bias in species occurrence records by thinning data in the environmental space (E-space). This process can improve the accuracy and precision of species distribution models (SDM, also known as ecological niche models, ENM). The package offers a data-driven protocol to determine thinning parameters using kernel-density bandwidth selection. Two thinning methods are provided (stochastic and deterministic) to reduce over-sampled environmental conditions and down-weight outlier observations. The name bean reflects the core principle of the method: each pod (a grid cell in E-space) is allowed to contain only a limited number of beans (occurrence points). See Silverman (1986, ISBN:978-0-412-24620-3) and Rousseeuw and Leroy (2003, ISBN:978-0-471-48855-2) for the underlying statistical methods.

The BioTIME database was first published in 2018 and inspired ideas, questions, project and research article. To make it even more accessible, an R package was created. The BioTIMEr package provides tools designed to interact with the BioTIME database. The functions provided include the BioTIME recommended methods for preparing (gridding and rarefaction) time series data, a selection of standard biodiversity metrics (including species richness, numerical abundance and exponential Shannon) alongside examples on how to display change over time. It also includes a sample subset of both the query and meta data, the full versions of which are freely available on the BioTIME website <https://biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk/home.php>.

Bit-level reading and writing are necessary when dealing with many file formats e.g. compressed data and binary files. Currently, R connections are manipulated at the byte level. This package wraps existing connections and raw vectors so that it is possible to read bits, bit sequences, unaligned bytes and low-bit representations of integers.

This package provides Bayesian estimation and forecasting of dynamic panel data using Bayesian Panel Vector Autoregressions with hierarchical prior distributions following the specification by Sanchez-Martinez & Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.14143>. The models include country-specific Vector Autoregressions (VARs) that share a global prior distribution that extend the model by JarociÅ ski (2010) <doi:10.1002/jae.1082>. Under this prior expected value, each country's system follows a global VAR with country-invariant parameters. Further flexibility is provided by the hierarchical prior structure that retains the Minnesota prior interpretation for the global VAR and features estimated prior covariance matrices, shrinkage, and persistence levels. Bayesian forecasting is developed for models including exogenous variables, allowing conditional forecasts given the future trajectories of some variables and restricted forecasts assuring that rates are forecasted to stay positive and less than 100. The package implements the model specification, estimation, and forecasting routines, facilitating coherent workflows and reproducibility. It also includes automated pseudo-out-of-sample forecasting and computation of forecasting performance measures. Beautiful plots, informative summary functions, and extensive documentation complement all this. Extraordinary computational speed is achieved thanks to employing frontier econometric and numerical techniques and algorithms written in C++'. The bpvars package is aligned regarding objects, workflows, and code structure with the R packages bsvars by Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvars>, bsvarSIGNs by Wang & Woźniak (2025) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvarSIGNs>, and bvars by Liu, Ramirez Hassan, & Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bvars> and they constitute an integrated toolset.

The Bayesian Markov renewal mixed models take sequentially observed categorical data with continuous duration times, being either state duration or inter-state duration. These models comprehensively analyze the stochastic dynamics of both state transitions and duration times under the influence of multiple exogenous factors and random individual effect. The default setting flexibly models the transition probabilities using Dirichlet mixtures and the duration times using gamma mixtures. It also provides the flexibility of modeling the categorical sequences using Bayesian Markov mixed models alone, either ignoring the duration times altogether or dividing duration time into multiples of an additional category in the sequence by a user-specific unit. The package allows extensive inference of the state transition probabilities and the duration times as well as relevant plots and graphs. It also includes a synthetic data set to demonstrate the desired format of input data set and the utility of various functions. Methods for Bayesian Markov renewal mixed models are as described in: Abhra Sarkar et al., (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1423986> and Yutong Wu et al., (2022) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxac050>.

This package implements state-of-the-art algorithms for the Bayesian analysis of Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) identified by sign, zero, and narrative restrictions. The core model is based on a flexible Vector Autoregression with estimated hyper-parameters of the Minnesota prior and the dummy observation priors as in Giannone, Lenza, Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483> extended by the COVID-specific heteroskedasticity proposed by Lenza, Primiceri (2022) <doi:10.1002/jae.2895>. The sign restrictions are implemented employing the methods proposed by Rubio-Ramà rez, Waggoner & Zha (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-937X.2009.00578.x>, while identification through sign and zero restrictions follows the approach developed by Arias, Rubio-Ramà rez, & Waggoner (2018) <doi:10.3982/ECTA14468>. Furthermore, our toolset provides algorithms for identification via sign and narrative restrictions, in line with the methods introduced by Antolà n-Dà az and Rubio-Ramà rez (2018) <doi:10.1257/aer.20161852>. Users can also estimate a model with sign, zero, and narrative restrictions imposed at once. The package facilitates predictive and structural analyses using impulse responses, forecast error variance and historical decompositions, forecasting and conditional forecasting, as well as analyses of structural shocks and fitted values. All this is complemented by colourful plots, user-friendly summary functions, and comprehensive documentation including the vignette by Wang & Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.16711>. The bsvarSIGNs package is aligned regarding objects, workflows, and code structure with the R packages bsvars by Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvars>, bvars by Liu, Ramirez Hassan, Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bvars>, and bpvars by Woźniak (2026) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bpvars>, and they constitute an integrated toolset.
