S3 functions for management, analysis, interpolation and plotting of time series used in hydrology and related environmental sciences. In particular, this package is highly oriented to hydrological modelling tasks. The focus of this package has been put in providing a collection of tools useful for the daily work of hydrologists (although an effort was made to optimise each function as much as possible, functionality has had priority over speed). Bugs / comments / questions / collaboration of any kind are very welcomed, and in particular, datasets that can be included in this package for academic purposes.

This package provides a general-purpose workflow for image segmentation using TensorFlow models based on the U-Net architecture by Ronneberger et al. (2015) <arXiv:1505.04597> and the U-Net++ architecture by Zhou et al. (2018) <arXiv:1807.10165>. We provide pre-trained models for assessing canopy density and understory vegetation density from vegetation photos. In addition, the package provides a workflow for easily creating model input and model architectures for general-purpose image segmentation based on grayscale or color images, both for binary and multi-class image segmentation.

Package for corpus analysis using the Corpus Workbench ('CWB', <https://cwb.sourceforge.io>) as an efficient back end for indexing and querying large corpora. The package offers functionality to flexibly create subcorpora and to carry out basic statistical operations (count, co-occurrences etc.). The original full text of documents can be reconstructed and inspected at any time. Beyond that, the package is intended to serve as an interface to packages implementing advanced statistical procedures. Respective data structures (document-term matrices, term-co-occurrence matrices etc.) can be created based on the indexed corpora.

This package provides a variety of original and flexible user-friendly statistical latent variable models and unsupervised learning algorithms to segment and represent time-series data (univariate or multivariate), and more generally, longitudinal data, which include regime changes. samurais is built upon the following packages, each of them is an autonomous time-series segmentation approach: Regression with Hidden Logistic Process ('RHLP'), Hidden Markov Model Regression ('HMMR'), Multivariate RHLP ('MRHLP'), Multivariate HMMR ('MHMMR'), Piece-Wise regression ('PWR'). For the advantages/differences of each of them, the user is referred to our mentioned paper references.

This package provides a shiny application estimating the operating characteristics of the Student's t-test by Student (1908) <doi:10.1093/biomet/6.1.1>, Welch's t-test by Welch (1947) <doi:10.1093/biomet/34.1-2.28>, and Wilcoxon test by Wilcoxon (1945) <doi:10.2307/3001968> in one-sample or two-sample cases, in settings defined by the user (conditional distribution, sample size per group, location parameter per group, nuisance parameter per group), using Monte Carlo simulations Malvin H. Kalos, Paula A. Whitlock (2008) <doi:10.1002/9783527626212>.

Simulate genotypes for case-parent triads, case-control, and quantitative trait samples with realistic linkage diequilibrium structure and allele frequency distribution. For studies of epistasis one can simulate models that involve specific SNPs at specific sets of loci, which we will refer to as "pathways". TriadSim generates genotype data by resampling triad genotypes from existing data. The details of the method is described in the manuscript under preparation "Simulating Autosomal Genotypes with Realistic Linkage Disequilibrium and a Spiked in Genetic Effect" Shi, M., Umbach, D.M., Wise A.S., Weinberg, C.R.

To make the semiparametric transformation models easier to apply in real studies, we introduce this R package, in which the MLE in transformation models via an EM algorithm proposed by Zeng D, Lin DY(2007) <doi:10.1111/j.1369-7412.2007.00606.x> and adaptive lasso method in transformation models proposed by Liu XX, Zeng D(2013) <doi:10.1093/biomet/ast029> are implemented. C++ functions are used to compute complex loops. The coefficient vector and cumulative baseline hazard function can be estimated, along with the corresponding standard errors and P values.

Outliers virtually exist in any datasets of any application field. To avoid the impact of outliers, we need to use robust estimators. Classical estimators of multivariate mean and covariance matrix are the sample mean and the sample covariance matrix. Outliers will affect the sample mean and the sample covariance matrix, and thus they will affect the classical factor analysis which depends on the classical estimators (Pison, G., Rousseeuw, P.J., Filzmoser, P. and Croux, C. (2003) <doi:10.1016/S0047-259X(02)00007-6>). So it is necessary to use the robust estimators of the sample mean and the sample covariance matrix. There are several robust estimators in the literature: Minimum Covariance Determinant estimator, Orthogonalized Gnanadesikan-Kettenring, Minimum Volume Ellipsoid, M, S, and Stahel-Donoho. The most direct way to make multivariate analysis more robust is to replace the sample mean and the sample covariance matrix of the classical estimators to robust estimators (Maronna, R.A., Martin, D. and Yohai, V. (2006) <doi:10.1002/0470010940>) (Todorov, V. and Filzmoser, P. (2009) <doi:10.18637/jss.v032.i03>), which is our choice of robust factor analysis. We created an object oriented solution for robust factor analysis based on new S4 classes.

This package implements two methods for performing a constrained principal component analysis (PCA), where non-negativity and/or sparsity constraints are enforced on the principal axes (PAs). The function nsprcomp computes one principal component (PC) after the other. Each PA is optimized such that the corresponding PC has maximum additional variance not explained by the previous components. In contrast, the function nscumcomp jointly computes all PCs such that the cumulative variance is maximal. Both functions have the same interface as the prcomp function from the stats package (plus some extra parameters).

The CytoGLMM R package implements two multiple regression strategies: A bootstrapped generalized linear model (GLM) and a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). Most current data analysis tools compare expressions across many computationally discovered cell types. CytoGLMM focuses on just one cell type. Our narrower field of application allows us to define a more specific statistical model with easier to control statistical guarantees. As a result, CytoGLMM finds differential proteins in flow and mass cytometry data while reducing biases arising from marker correlations and safeguarding against false discoveries induced by patient heterogeneity.

The dfmirroR package allows users to input a data frame, simulate some number of observations based on specified columns of that data frame, and then outputs a string that contains the code to re-create the simulation. The goal is to both provide workable test data sets and provide users with the information they need to set up reproducible examples with team members. This package was created out of a need to share examples in cases where data are private and where a full data frame is not needed for testing or coordinating.

Intelligently assign samples to batches in order to reduce batch effects. Batch effects can have a significant impact on data analysis, especially when the assignment of samples to batches coincides with the contrast groups being studied. By defining a batch container and a scoring function that reflects the contrasts, this package allows users to assign samples in a way that minimizes the potential impact of batch effects on the comparison of interest. Among other functionality, we provide an implementation for OSAT score by Yan et al. (2012, <doi:10.1186/1471-2164-13-689>).

This package provides a ggplot2 based implementation of biplots, giving a representation of a dataset in a two dimensional space accounting for the greatest variance, together with variable vectors showing how the data variables relate to this space. It provides a replacement for stats::biplot(), but with many enhancements to control the analysis and graphical display. It implements biplot and scree plot methods which can be used with the results of prcomp(), princomp(), FactoMineR::PCA(), ade4::dudi.pca() or MASS::lda() and can be customized using ggplot2 techniques.

This package contains datasets and several smaller functions suitable for analysis of interval-censored data. The package complements the book Bogaerts, Komárek and Lesaffre (2017, ISBN: 978-1-4200-7747-6) "Survival Analysis with Interval-Censored Data: A Practical Approach" <https://www.routledge.com/Survival-Analysis-with-Interval-Censored-Data-A-Practical-Approach-with/Bogaerts-Komarek-Lesaffre/p/book/9781420077476>. Full R code related to the examples presented in the book can be found at <https://ibiostat.be/online-resources/icbook/supplemental>. Packages mentioned in the "Suggests" section are used in those examples.

It computes arbitrary products moments (mean vector and variance-covariance matrix), for some double truncated (and folded) multivariate distributions. These distributions belong to the family of selection elliptical distributions, which includes well known skewed distributions as the unified skew-t distribution (SUT) and its particular cases as the extended skew-t (EST), skew-t (ST) and the symmetric student-t (T) distribution. Analogous normal cases unified skew-normal (SUN), extended skew-normal (ESN), skew-normal (SN), and symmetric normal (N) are also included. Density, probabilities and random deviates are also offered for these members.

The unique function of this package allows representing in a single graph the relative occurrence and co-occurrence of events measured in a sample. As examples, the package was applied to describe the occurrence and co-occurrence of different species of bacterial or viral symbionts infecting arthropods at the individual level. The graphics allows determining the prevalence of each symbiont and the patterns of multiple infections (i.e. how different symbionts share or not the same individual hosts). We named the package after the famous painter as the graphical output recalls Mondrianâ s paintings.

Supports multiple major pathway databases beyond KEGG (Reactome, MetaCyc, SMPDB, PANTHER, METACROP) and user defined pathways; 3. Covers 5,200 reference pathways and over 3,000 species by default; 4. Extensive graphics controls, including glyph and edge attributes, graph layout and sub-pathway highlight; 5. SBGN pathway data manipulation, processing, extraction and analysis.

Using site polymorphism is one of the ways to cluster DNA/protein sequences but it is possible for the sequences with the same polymorphism on a single site to be genetically distant. This package is aimed at clustering sequences using site polymorphism and their corresponding phylogenetic trees. By considering their location on the tree, only the structurally adjacent sequences will be clustered. However, the adjacent sequences may not necessarily have the same polymorphism. So a branch-and-bound like algorithm is used to minimize the entropy representing the purity of site polymorphism of each cluster.

This package provides tools designed to perform and evaluate cluster analysis (including Tocher's algorithm), discriminant analysis and path analysis (standard and under collinearity), as well as some useful miscellaneous tools for dealing with sample size and optimum plot size calculations. A test for seed sample heterogeneity is now available. Mantel's permutation test can be found in this package. A new approach for calculating its power is implemented. biotools also contains tests for genetic covariance components. Heuristic approaches for performing non-parametric spatial predictions of generic response variables and spatial gene diversity are implemented.

General optimisation and specific tools for the parameter estimation (i.e. calibration) of complex models, including stochastic ones. It implements generic functions that can be used for fitting any type of models, especially those with non-differentiable objective functions, with the same syntax as base::optim. It supports multiple phases estimation (sequential parameter masking), constrained optimization (bounding box restrictions) and automatic parallel computation of numerical gradients. Some common maximum likelihood estimation methods and automated construction of the objective function from simulated model outputs is provided. See <https://roliveros-ramos.github.io/calibrar/> for more details.

Statistical methods for retrospectively detecting changes in location and/or dispersion of univariate and multivariate variables. Data values are assumed to be independent, can be individual (one observation at each instant of time) or subgrouped (more than one observation at each instant of time). Control limits are computed, often using a permutation approach, so that a prescribed false alarm probability is guaranteed without making any parametric assumptions on the stable (in-control) distribution. See G. Capizzi and G. Masarotto (2018) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-75295-2_1> for an introduction to the package.

This package provides tools for simulating mathematical models of infectious disease dynamics. Epidemic model classes include deterministic compartmental models, stochastic individual-contact models, and stochastic network models. Network models use the robust statistical methods of exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs) from the Statnet suite of software packages in R. Standard templates for epidemic modeling include SI, SIR, and SIS disease types. EpiModel features an API for extending these templates to address novel scientific research aims. Full methods for EpiModel are detailed in Jenness et al. (2018, <doi:10.18637/jss.v084.i08>).
