Threshold regression models are also called two-phase regression, broken-stick regression, split-point regression, structural change models, and regression kink models, with and without interaction terms. Methods for both continuous and discontinuous threshold models are included, but the support for the former is much greater. This package is described in Fong, Huang, Gilbert and Permar (2017) <DOI:10.1186/s12859-017-1863-x> and the package vignette.

Proposed by Harrell, the C index or concordance C, is considered an overall measure of discrimination in survival analysis between a survival outcome that is possibly right censored and a predictive-score variable, which can represent a measured biomarker or a composite-score output from an algorithm that combines multiple biomarkers. This package aims to statistically compare two C indices with right-censored survival outcome, which commonly arise from a paired design and thus resulting two correlated C indices.

Publicly available COVID-19 data for Norway cleaned and merged into one dataset, including PCR confirmed cases, tests, hospitalisation and vaccination.

This package creates a new chars class which looks like a string but is actually a vector of individual characters, making strings iterable. This class enables vector operations on strings such as reverse, sort, head, and set operations.

Explore calcium (Ca) and phosphate (Pi) homeostasis with two novel Shiny apps, building upon on a previously published mathematical model written in C, to ensure efficient computations. The underlying model is accessible here <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28747359/)>. The first application explores the fundamentals of Ca-Pi homeostasis, while the second provides interactive case studies for in-depth exploration of the topic, thereby seeking to foster student engagement and an integrative understanding of Ca-Pi regulation.

This package performs reference based multiple imputation of recurrent event data based on a negative binomial regression model, as described by Keene et al (2014) <doi:10.1002/pst.1624>.

Estimation of functional linear mixed models for densely sampled data based on functional principal component analysis.

This package implements the locally efficient doubly robust difference-in-differences (DiD) estimators for the average treatment effect proposed by Sant'Anna and Zhao (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.06.003>. The estimator combines inverse probability weighting and outcome regression estimators (also implemented in the package) to form estimators with more attractive statistical properties. Two different estimation methods can be used to estimate the nuisance functions.

This package provides the ability to generate images from documents of different types. Three main features are provided: generating document thumbnails, performing visual tests of documents, and updating fields and tables of contents of a Microsoft Word or RTF document. Microsoft Word and/or LibreOffice must be installed on the machine. If Microsoft Word is available, it can produce PDF documents or images identical to the originals; otherwise LibreOffice is used and the rendering may sometimes differ from the original documents.

Automated data exploration process for analytic tasks and predictive modeling, so that users could focus on understanding data and extracting insights. The package scans and analyzes each variable, and visualizes them with typical graphical techniques. Common data processing methods are also available to treat and format data.

The package requires a minimal number of dependencies. It offers functionality to retrieve a user-defined sample of disaster events from ReliefWeb, providing an easy alternative to scraping the ReliefWeb website. It enables a seamless integration of regular data updates into the research work flow.

The method of synthetic controls is a widely-adopted tool for evaluating causal effects of policy changes in settings with observational data. In many settings where it is applicable, researchers want to identify causal effects of policy changes on a treated unit at an aggregate level while having access to data at a finer granularity. This package implements a simple extension of the synthetic controls estimator, developed in Gunsilius (2023) <doi:10.3982/ECTA18260>, that takes advantage of this additional structure and provides nonparametric estimates of the heterogeneity within the aggregate unit. The idea is to replicate the quantile function associated with the treated unit by a weighted average of quantile functions of the control units. The package contains tools for aggregating and plotting the resulting distributional estimates, as well as for carrying out inference on them.

This package provides tools to help the design and analysis of resilient non-inferiority trials. These include functions for sample size calculations and analyses of trials, with either a risk difference, risk ratio or arc-sine difference margin, and a function to run simulations to design a trial with the methods described in Quartagno et al. (2019) <arXiv:1905.00241>.

This package provides time series regression models with one predictor using finite distributed lag models, polynomial (Almon) distributed lag models, geometric distributed lag models with Koyck transformation, and autoregressive distributed lag models. It also consists of functions for computation of h-step ahead forecasts from these models. See Demirhan (2020)(<doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0228812>) and Baltagi (2011)(<doi:10.1007/978-3-642-20059-5>) for more information.

In tumor tissue, underlying genomic instability can lead to DNA copy number alterations, e.g., copy number gains or losses. Sporadic copy number alterations occur randomly throughout the genome, whereas recurrent alterations are observed in the same genomic region across multiple independent samples, perhaps because they provide a selective growth advantage. This package implements the DiNAMIC procedure for assessing the statistical significance of recurrent DNA copy number aberrations (Bioinformatics (2011) 27(5) 678 - 685).

This package provides statistical tools for analyzing net and relative survival, with a key feature of relaxing the assumption of independent censoring and incorporating the effect of dependent competing risks. It employs a copula-based methodology, specifically the Archimedean copula, to simulate data, conduct survival analysis, and offer comparisons with other methods. This approach is detailed in the work of Adatorwovor et al. (2022) <doi:10.1515/ijb-2021-0016>.

The goal of dndR is to provide a suite of Dungeons & Dragons related functions. This package is meant to be useful both to players and Dungeon Masters (DMs). Some functions apply to many tabletop role-playing games (e.g., dice rolling), but others are focused on Fifth Edition (a.k.a. "5e") and where possible both the 2014 and 2024 versions are supported.

This package implements an efficient algorithm for solving sparse-penalized support vector machines with kernel density convolution. This package is designed for high-dimensional classification tasks, supporting lasso (L1) and elastic-net penalties for sparse feature selection and providing options for tuning kernel bandwidth and penalty weights. The dcsvm is applicable to fields such as bioinformatics, image analysis, and text classification, where high-dimensional data commonly arise. Learn more about the methodology and algorithm at Wang, Zhou, Gu, and Zou (2023) <doi:10.1109/TIT.2022.3222767>.
