This tree-based method deals with high dimensional longitudinal data with correlated features through the use of a piecewise random effect model. FREE tree also exploits the network structure of the features, by first clustering them using Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis ('WGCNA'). It then conducts a screening step within each cluster of features and a selecting step among the surviving features, which provides a relatively unbiased way to do feature selection. By using dominant principle components as regression variables at each leaf and the original features as splitting variables at splitting nodes, FREE tree delivers easily interpretable results while improving computational efficiency.

In streaming data analysis, it is crucial to detect significant shifts in the data distribution or the accuracy of predictive models over time, a phenomenon known as concept drift. The package aims to identify when concept drift occurs and provide methodologies for adapting models in non-stationary environments. It offers a range of state-of-the-art techniques for detecting concept drift and maintaining model performance. Additionally, the package provides tools for adapting models in response to these changes, ensuring continuous and accurate predictions in dynamic contexts. Methods for concept drift detection are described in Tavares (2022) <doi:10.1007/s12530-021-09415-z>.

Moreover, the package includes tools for model selection and Bayesian model averaging by leave future-out validation.

This package provides a framework for high-dimensional mediation analysis using transfer learning. The main function TransHDM() integrates large-scale source data to improve the detection power of potential mediators in small-sample target studies. It addresses data heterogeneity via transfer regularization and debiased estimation while controlling the false discovery rate. The package also includes utilities for data generation (gen_simData_homo(), gen_simData_hetero()), baseline methods such as lasso() and dblasso(), sure independence screening via SIS(), and model diagnostics through source_detection(). The methodology is described in Pan et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/bib/bbaf460>.

This program realizes a universal estimation approach that accommodates multi-category variables and effect scales, making up for the deficiencies of the existing approaches when dealing with non-binary exposures and complex models. The estimation via bootstrapping can simultaneously provide results of causal mediation on risk difference (RD), odds ratio (OR) and risk ratio (RR) scales with tests of the effects difference. The estimation is also applicable to many other settings, e.g., moderated mediation, inconsistent covariates, panel data, etc. The high flexibility and compatibility make it possible to apply for any type of model, greatly meeting the needs of current empirical researches.

This package is Cytometry dATa anALYSis Tools (CATALYST). Mass cytometry like Cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) uses heavy metal isotopes rather than fluorescent tags as reporters to label antibodies, thereby substantially decreasing spectral overlap and allowing for examination of over 50 parameters at the single cell level. While spectral overlap is significantly less pronounced in CyTOF than flow cytometry, spillover due to detection sensitivity, isotopic impurities, and oxide formation can impede data interpretability. CATALYST was designed to provide a pipeline for preprocessing of cytometry data, including:

1. normalization using bead standards;

2. single-cell deconvolution;

3. bead-based compensation.

Annotates data from liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) metabolomics experiments. Based on a network algorithm (O.Senan, A. Aguilar- Mogas, M. Navarro, O. Yanes, R.Guimerà and M. Sales-Pardo, Bioinformatics, 35(20), 2019), CliqueMS builds a weighted similarity network where nodes are features and edges are weighted according to the similarity of this features. Then it searches for the most plausible division of the similarity network into cliques (fully connected components). Finally it annotates metabolites within each clique, obtaining for each annotated metabolite the neutral mass and their features, corresponding to isotopes, ionization adducts and fragmentation adducts of that metabolite.

This package provides a toolkit for the analysis and management of data for genes in the so-called "Human Leukocyte Antigen" (HLA) region. Functions extract reference data from the Anthony Nolan HLA Informatics Group/ImmunoGeneTics HLA GitHub repository (ANHIG/IMGTHLA) <https://github.com/ANHIG/IMGTHLA>, validate Genotype List (GL) Strings, convert between UNIFORMAT and GL String Code (GLSC) formats, translate HLA alleles and GLSCs across ImmunoPolymorphism Database (IPD) IMGT/HLA Database release versions, identify differences between pairs of alleles at a locus, generate customized, multi-position sequence alignments, trim and convert allele-names across nomenclature epochs, and extend existing data-analysis methods.

The ordered panel methodology (Zezulinski et al 2025 <doi:10.1159/000545366>) provides a structured framework for identifying and organizing sets of biomarkers, such as genetic variants, that distinguish between positive and negative subjects in a study when only a training cohort is available. This approach is particularly useful in situations where an independent validation cohort does not yet exist, rendering conventional performance metrics such as the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve (AUC) inappropriate or potentially misleading. The methodology emphasizes transparent construction and evaluation of ordered signatures of biomarkers, allowing investigators to examine operating characteristics without establishing predictive performance.

DEsingle is an R package for differential expression (DE) analysis of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. It defines and detects 3 types of differentially expressed genes between two groups of single cells, with regard to different expression status (DEs), differential expression abundance (DEa), and general differential expression (DEg). DEsingle employs Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial model to estimate the proportion of real and dropout zeros and to define and detect the 3 types of DE genes. Results showed that DEsingle outperforms existing methods for scRNA-seq DE analysis, and can reveal different types of DE genes that are enriched in different biological functions.

Allows access to selected services that are part of the Google Adwords API <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/start>. Google Adwords is an online advertising service by Google', that delivers Ads to users. This package offers a authentication process using OAUTH2'. Currently, there are two methods of data of accessing the API, depending on the type of request. One method uses SOAP requests which require building an XML structure and then sent to the API. These are used for the ManagedCustomerService and the TargetingIdeaService'. The second method is by building AWQL queries for the reporting side of the Google Adwords API.

Simplify bivariate and regression analyses by automating result generation, including summary tables, statistical tests, and customizable graphs. It supports tests for continuous and dichotomous data, as well as stepwise regression for linear, logistic, and Firth penalized logistic models. While not a substitute for tailored analysis, BiVariAn accelerates workflows and is expanding features like multilingual interpretations of results.The methods for selecting significant statistical tests, as well as the predictor selection in prediction functions, can be referenced in the works of Marc Kery (2003) <doi:10.1890/0012-9623(2003)84[92:NORDIG]2.0.CO;2> and Rainer Puhr (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7273>.

Implementation of the double/debiased machine learning framework of Chernozhukov et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/ectj.12097> for partially linear regression models, partially linear instrumental variable regression models, interactive regression models and interactive instrumental variable regression models. DoubleML allows estimation of the nuisance parts in these models by machine learning methods and computation of the Neyman orthogonal score functions. DoubleML is built on top of mlr3 and the mlr3 ecosystem. The object-oriented implementation of DoubleML based on the R6 package is very flexible. More information available in the publication in the Journal of Statistical Software: <doi:10.18637/jss.v108.i03>.

There are many different formats dates are commonly represented with: the order of day, month, or year can differ, different separators ("-", "/", or whitespace) can be used, months can be numerical, names, or abbreviations and year given as two digits or four. datefixR takes dates in all these different formats and converts them to R's built-in date class. If datefixR cannot standardize a date, such as because it is too malformed, then the user is told which date cannot be standardized and the corresponding ID for the row. datefixR also allows the imputation of missing days and months with user-controlled behavior.
