This package provides a series of functions which aid in both simulating and determining the properties of finite, discrete-time, discrete state markov chains. Two functions (DTMC, MultDTMC) produce n iterations of a Markov Chain(s) based on transition probabilities and an initial distribution. The function FPTime determines the first passage time into each state. The function statdistr determines the stationary distribution of a Markov Chain.

Data cleaning scripts typically contain a lot of if this change that type of statements. Such statements are typically condensed expert knowledge. With this package, such data modifying rules are taken out of the code and become in stead parameters to the work flow. This allows one to maintain, document, and reason about data modification rules as separate entities.

This linear model solution is useful when both predictor and response have associated uncertainty. The doubly weights linear model solution is invariant on which quantity is used as predictor or response. Based on the results by Reed(1989) <doi:10.1119/1.15963> and Ripley & Thompson(1987) <doi:10.1039/AN9871200377>.

The goal of dataspice is to make it easier for researchers to create basic, lightweight, and concise metadata files for their datasets. These basic files can then be used to make useful information available during analysis, create a helpful dataset "README" webpage, and produce more complex metadata formats to aid dataset discovery. Metadata fields are based on the Schema.org and Ecological Metadata Language standards.

Inference functionalities for distributed-lag linear structural equation models (DLSEMs). DLSEMs are Markovian structural causal models where each factor of the joint probability distribution is a distributed-lag linear regression with constrained lag shapes (Magrini, 2018 <doi:10.2478/bile-2018-0012>; Magrini et al., 2019 <doi:10.1007/s11135-019-00855-z>). DLSEMs account for temporal delays in the dependence relationships among the variables through a single parameter per covariate, thus allowing to perform dynamic causal inference in a feasible fashion. Endpoint-constrained quadratic, quadratic decreasing, linearly decreasing and gamma lag shapes are available.

Implementation of selected Tidyverse functions within DataSHIELD', an open-source federated analysis solution in R. Currently, DataSHIELD contains very limited tools for data manipulation, so the aim of this package is to improve the researcher experience by implementing essential functions for data manipulation, including subsetting, filtering, grouping, and renaming variables. This is the serverside package which should be installed on the server holding the data, and is used in conjuncture with the clientside package dsTidyverseClient which is installed in the local R environment of the analyst. For more information, see <https://tidyverse.org/> and <https://datashield.org/>.

Differential geometric least angle regression method for fitting sparse generalized linear models. In this version of the package, the user can fit models specifying Gaussian, Poisson, Binomial, Gamma and Inverse Gaussian family. Furthermore, several link functions can be used to model the relationship between the conditional expected value of the response variable and the linear predictor. The solution curve can be computed using an efficient predictor-corrector or a cyclic coordinate descent algorithm, as described in the paper linked to via the URL below.

Abstract of Manuscript. Differential gene expression analysis using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data is a standard approach for making biological discoveries. Ongoing large-scale efforts to process and normalize publicly available gene expression data enable rapid and systematic reanalysis. While several powerful tools systematically process RNA-seq data, enabling their reanalysis, few resources systematically recompute differentially expressed genes (DEGs) generated from individual studies. We developed a robust differential expression analysis pipeline to recompute 3162 human DEG lists from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Genotype-Tissue Expression Consortium, and 142 studies within the Sequence Read Archive. After measuring the accuracy of the recomputed DEG lists, we built the Differential Expression Enrichment Tool (DEET), which enables users to interact with the recomputed DEG lists. DEET, available through CRAN and RShiny, systematically queries which of the recomputed DEG lists share similar genes, pathways, and TF targets to their own gene lists. DEET identifies relevant studies based on shared results with the userâ s gene lists, aiding in hypothesis generation and data-driven literature review. Sokolowski, Dustin J., et al.
