BEAST2 (<https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. BEAST2 is a command-line tool. This package provides a way to call BEAST2 from an R function call.

Standard template library containers are used to implement an efficient binary segmentation algorithm, which is log-linear on average and quadratic in the worst case.

This package implements the Block-wise Rank in Similarity Graph Edge-count test (BRISE), a rank-based two-sample test designed for block-wise missing data. The method constructs (pattern) pair-wise similarity graphs and derives quadratic test statistics with asymptotic chi-square distribution or permutation-based p-values. It provides both vectorized and congregated versions for flexible inference. The methodology is described in Zhang, Liang, Maile, and Zhou (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2508.17411>.

BayesX performs Bayesian inference in structured additive regression (STAR) models. The R package BayesXsrc provides the BayesX command line tool for easy installation. A convenient R interface is provided in package R2BayesX.

Bayesian hierarchical methods for the detection of differences in rates of related outcomes for multiple treatments for clustered observations (Carragher et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8563>).

This package provides a framework for scalable statistical computing on large on-disk matrices stored in HDF5 files. It provides efficient block-wise implementations of core linear-algebra operations (matrix multiplication, SVD, PCA, QR decomposition, and canonical correlation analysis) written in C++ and R. These building blocks are designed not only for direct use, but also as foundational components for developing new statistical methods that must operate on datasets too large to fit in memory. The package supports data provided either as HDF5 files or standard R objects, and is intended for high-dimensional applications such as omics and precision-medicine research.

This package provides tools for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimation utilizing the RTMB package.

Detection of a statistically significant trend in the data provided by the user. This is based on the a signed test based on the binomial distribution. The package returns a trend test value, T, and also a p-value. A T value close to 1 indicates a rising trend, whereas a T value close to -1 indicates a decreasing trend. A T value close to 0 indicates no trend. There is also a command to visualize the trend. A test data set called gtsa_data is also available, which has global mean temperatures for January, April, July, and October for the years 1851 to 2022. Reference: Walpole, Myers, Myers, Ye.
