Estimation of DIFferential COexpressed NETworks using diverse and user metrics. This package is basically used for three functions related to the estimation of differential coexpression. First, to estimate differential coexpression where the coexpression is estimated, by default, by Spearman correlation. For this, a metric to compare two correlation distributions is needed. The package includes 6 metrics. Some of them needs a threshold. A new metric can also be specified as a user function with specific parameters (see difconet.run). The significance is be estimated by permutations. Second, to generate datasets with controlled differential correlation data. This is done by either adding noise, or adding specific correlation structure. Third, to show the results of differential correlation analyses. Please see <http://bioinformatica.mty.itesm.mx/difconet> for further information.

Summarizing data frames by calculating various statistical measures, including measures of central tendency, dispersion, skewness(), kurtosis(), and normality tests. The package leverages the moments package for calculating statistical moments and related measures, the dplyr package for data manipulation, and the nortest package for normality testing. DataSum includes functions such as getmode() for finding the mode(s) of a data vector, shapiro_normality_test() for performing the Shapiro-Wilk test (Shapiro & Wilk 1965 <doi:10.1093/biomet/52.3-4.591>) (or the Anderson-Darling test when the data length is outside the valid range for the Shapiro-Wilk test) (Stephens 1974 <doi:10.1080/01621459.1974.10480196>), Datum() for generating a comprehensive summary of a data vector with various statistics (including data type, sample size, mean, mode, median, variance, standard deviation, maximum, minimum, range, skewness(), kurtosis(), and normality test result) (Joanes & Gill 1998 <doi:10.1111/1467-9884.00122>), and DataSumm() for applying the Datum() function to each column of a data frame. Emphasizing the importance of normality testing, the package provides robust tools to validate whether data follows a normal distribution, a fundamental assumption in many statistical analyses and models.

Implementation of double machine learning (DML) algorithms in R, based on Emmenegger and Buehlmann (2021) "Regularizing Double Machine Learning in Partially Linear Endogenous Models" <arXiv:2101.12525> and Emmenegger and Buehlmann (2021) <arXiv:2108.13657> "Double Machine Learning for Partially Linear Mixed-Effects Models with Repeated Measurements". First part: our goal is to perform inference for the linear parameter in partially linear models with confounding variables. The standard DML estimator of the linear parameter has a two-stage least squares interpretation, which can lead to a large variance and overwide confidence intervals. We apply regularization to reduce the variance of the estimator, which produces narrower confidence intervals that are approximately valid. Nuisance terms can be flexibly estimated with machine learning algorithms. Second part: our goal is to estimate and perform inference for the linear coefficient in a partially linear mixed-effects model with DML. Machine learning algorithms allows us to incorporate more complex interaction structures and high-dimensional variables.

Calculates key indicators such as fertility rates (Total Fertility Rate (TFR), General Fertility Rate (GFR), and Age Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR)) using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) women/individual data, childhood mortality probabilities and rates such as Neonatal Mortality Rate (NNMR), Post-neonatal Mortality Rate (PNNMR), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Child Mortality Rate (CMR), and Under-five Mortality Rate (U5MR), and adult mortality indicators such as the Age Specific Mortality Rate (ASMR), Age Adjusted Mortality Rate (AAMR), Age Specific Maternal Mortality Rate (ASMMR), Age Adjusted Maternal Mortality Rate (AAMMR), Age Specific Pregnancy Related Mortality Rate (ASPRMR), Age Adjusted Pregnancy Related Mortality Rate (AAPRMR), Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and Pregnancy Related Mortality Ratio (PRMR). In addition to the indicators, the DHS.rates package estimates sampling errors indicators such as Standard Error (SE), Design Effect (DEFT), Relative Standard Error (RSE) and Confidence Interval (CI). The package is developed according to the DHS methodology of calculating the fertility indicators and the childhood mortality rates outlined in the "Guide to DHS Statistics" (Croft, Trevor N., Aileen M. J. Marshall, Courtney K. Allen, et al. 2018, <https://dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/index.cfm>) and the DHS methodology of estimating the sampling errors indicators outlined in the "DHS Sampling and Household Listing Manual" (ICF International 2012, <https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSM4/DHS6_Sampling_Manual_Sept2012_DHSM4.pdf>).

This package performs the drifting Markov models (DMM) which are non-homogeneous Markov models designed for modeling the heterogeneities of sequences in a more flexible way than homogeneous Markov chains or even hidden Markov models. In this context, we developed an R package dedicated to the estimation, simulation and the exact computation of associated reliability of drifting Markov models. The implemented methods are described in Vergne, N. (2008), <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1326> and Barbu, V.S., Vergne, N. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11009-018-9682-8> .

The methods proposed in the package is described by Gasperoni, F., Ieva, F., Paganoni, A. M., Jackson, C. H., Sharples, L. (2018) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy071>. There are also functions for simulating from these models, with a nonparametric or a parametric baseline hazard function.

Joint DNA-based disaster victim identification (DVI), as described in Vigeland and Egeland (2021) <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-296414/v1>. Identification is performed by optimising the joint likelihood of all victim samples and reference individuals. Individual identification probabilities, conditional on all available information, are derived from the joint solution in the form of posterior pairing probabilities. dvir is part of the pedsuite collection of packages for pedigree analysis.

Among them is a data-driven locally weighted regression approach with automatically selected bandwidth for equidistant short-memory time series. The approach is a combination / extension of the algorithms by Feng (2013) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2012.740626> and Feng, Y., Gries, T., and Fritz, M. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10485252.2020.1759598> and a brief description of this new method is provided in the package documentation. Furthermore, the package allows its users to apply the base model of the Berlin procedure, version 4.1, as described in Speth (2004) <https://www.destatis.de/DE/Methoden/Saisonbereinigung/BV41-methodenbericht-Heft3_2004.pdf?__blob=publicationFile>.

This package implements a Bayesian Optimal Phase II design (DTE-BOP2) for trials with delayed treatment effects, particularly relevant to immunotherapy studies where treatment benefits may emerge after a delay. The method builds upon the BOP2 framework and incorporates uncertainty in the delay timepoint through a truncated gamma prior, informed by expert knowledge or default settings. Supports two-arm trial designs with functionality for sample size determination, interim and final analyses, and comprehensive simulation under various delay and design scenarios. Ensures rigorous type I and II error control while improving trial efficiency and power when the delay effect is present. A manuscript describing the methodology is under development and will be formally referenced upon publication.

DMC model simulation detailed in Ulrich, R., Schroeter, H., Leuthold, H., & Birngruber, T. (2015). Automatic and controlled stimulus processing in conflict tasks: Superimposed diffusion processes and delta functions. Cognitive Psychology, 78, 148-174. Ulrich et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.cogpsych.2015.02.005>. Decision processes within choice reaction-time (CRT) tasks are often modelled using evidence accumulation models (EAMs), a variation of which is the Diffusion Decision Model (DDM, for a review, see Ratcliff & McKoon, 2008). Ulrich et al. (2015) introduced a Diffusion Model for Conflict tasks (DMC). The DMC model combines common features from within standard diffusion models with the addition of superimposed controlled and automatic activation. The DMC model is used to explain distributional reaction time (and error rate) patterns in common behavioural conflict-like tasks (e.g., Flanker task, Simon task). This R-package implements the DMC model and provides functionality to fit the model to observed data. Further details are provided in the following paper: Mackenzie, I.G., & Dudschig, C. (2021).
