This package provides a Haar-Fisz algorithm for Poisson intensity estimation. Will denoise Poisson distributed sequences where underlying intensity is not constant. Uses the multiscale variance-stabilization method called the Haar-Fisz transform. Contains functions to carry out the forward and inverse Haar-Fisz transform and denoising on near-Gaussian sequences. Can also carry out cycle-spinning. Main reference: Fryzlewicz, P. and Nason, G.P. (2004) "A Haar-Fisz algorithm for Poisson intensity estimation."

This package provides a modified version of alternating logistic regressions (ALR) with estimation based on orthogonalized residuals (ORTH) is implemented, which use paired estimating equations to jointly estimate parameters in marginal mean and within-association models. The within-cluster association between ordinal responses is modeled by global pairwise odds ratios (POR). A finite-sample bias correction is provided to POR parameter estimates based on matrix multiplicative adjusted orthogonalized residuals (MMORTH) for correcting estimating equations, and different bias-corrected variance estimators such as BC1, BC2, and BC3.
Using the Bayesian state-space approach, we developed a continuous development model to quantify dynamic incremental changes in the response variable. While the model was originally developed for daily changes in forest green-up, the model can be used to predict any similar process. The CDM can capture both timing and rate of nonlinear processes. Unlike statics methods, which aggregate variations into a single metric, our dynamic model tracks the changing impacts over time. The CDM accommodates nonlinear responses to variation in predictors, which changes throughout development.
Examines the characteristics of a data frame and a formula to automatically choose the most suitable type of plot out of the following supported options: scatter, violin, box, bar, density, hexagon bin, spine plot, and heat map. The aim of the package is to let the user focus on what to plot, rather than on the "how" during exploratory data analysis. It also automates handling of observation weights, logarithmic axis scaling, reordering of factor levels, and overlaying smoothing curves and median lines. Plots are drawn using ggplot2'.
This package infers the trends of one or several animal populations over time from series of counts. It does so by accounting for count precision (provided or inferred based on expert knowledge, e.g. guesstimates), smoothing the population rate of increase over time, and accounting for the maximum demographic potential of species. Inference is carried out in a Bayesian framework.

This is a package to provide infrastructure for managing package parameters. Parameters are easy to get in relevant functions within a package, and rrror is thrown if a parameter is missing. Developers are able to register parameters and set their default value in a config file that is part of the package in YAML format, and users are able to override parameters using their own YAML. Users get an exception when trying to override a parameter that was not registered, and can load multiple parameters to the current environment.

The Australian Regulatory Guidelines for Prescription Medicines (ARGPM), guidance on "Stability testing for prescription medicines", recommends to predict the shelf life of chemically derived medicines from stability data by taking the worst case situation at batch release into account. Consequently, if a change over time is observed, a release limit needs to be specified. Finding a release limit and the associated shelf life is supported, as well as the standard approach that is recommended by guidance Q1E "Evaluation of stability data" from the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH).

Preview spatial data as leaflet maps with minimal effort. smartmap is optimized for interactive use and distinguishes itself from similar packages because it does not need real spatial ('sp or sf') objects an input; instead, it tries to automatically coerce everything that looks like spatial data to sf objects or leaflet maps. It - for example - supports direct mapping of: a vector containing a single coordinate pair, a two column matrix, a data.frame with longitude and latitude columns, or the path or URL to a (possibly compressed) shapefile'.

Allows the user to estimate a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model via maximum log-likelihood or nonlinear least squares. It further permits to test for linearity in the multivariate framework against a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model with a single transition variable. The estimation method is discussed in Terasvirta and Yang (2014, <doi:10.1108/S0731-9053(2013)0000031008>). Also, realized covariances can be constructed from stock market prices or returns, as explained in Andersen et al. (2001, <doi:10.1016/S0304-405X(01)00055-1>).
