Fast, flexible and user-friendly tools for distribution comparison through direct density ratio estimation. The estimated density ratio can be used for covariate shift adjustment, outlier-detection, change-point detection, classification and evaluation of synthetic data quality. The package implements multiple non-parametric estimation techniques (unconstrained least-squares importance fitting, ulsif(), Kullback-Leibler importance estimation procedure, kliep(), spectral density ratio estimation, spectral(), kernel mean matching, kmm(), and least-squares hetero-distributional subspace search, lhss()). with automatic tuning of hyperparameters. Helper functions are available for two-sample testing and visualizing the density ratios. For an overview on density ratio estimation, see Sugiyama et al. (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139035613> for a general overview, and the help files for references on the specific estimation techniques.

Fast computation of the distance covariance dcov and distance correlation dcor'. The computation cost is only O(n log(n)) for the distance correlation (see Chaudhuri, Hu (2019) <arXiv:1810.11332> <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2019.01.016>). The functions are written entirely in C++ to speed up the computation.

Attempt to repair inconsistencies and missing values in data records by using information from valid values and validation rules restricting the data.

There are various functions for managing and cleaning data before the application of different approaches. This includes identifying and erasing sudden jumps in dendrometer data not related to environmental change, identifying the time gaps of recordings, and changing the temporal resolution of data to different frequencies. Furthermore, the package calculates daily statistics of dendrometer data, including the daily amplitude of tree growth. Various approaches can be applied to separate radial growth from daily cyclic shrinkage and expansion due to uptake and loss of stem water. In addition, it identifies periods of consecutive days with user-defined climatic conditions in daily meteorological data, then check what trees are doing during that period.

This package performs differential network analysis to infer disease specific gene networks.

This package provides tools to apply Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) for cyclostratigraphy purposes. Mainly: a new algorithm, extricate, that performs EEMD in seconds, a linear interpolation algorithm using the greatest rational common divisor of depth or time, different algorithms to compute instantaneous amplitude, frequency and ratios of frequencies, and functions to verify and visualise the outputs. The functions were developed during the CRASH project (Checking the Reproducibility of Astrochronology in the Hauterivian). When using for publication please cite Wouters, S., Crucifix, M., Sinnesael, M., Da Silva, A.C., Zeeden, C., Zivanovic, M., Boulvain, F., Devleeschouwer, X., 2022, "A decomposition approach to cyclostratigraphic signal processing".

The standard Difference-in-Differences (DID) setup involves two periods and two groups -- a treated group and untreated group. Many applications of DID methods involve more than two periods and have individuals that are treated at different points in time. This package contains tools for computing average treatment effect parameters in Difference in Differences setups with more than two periods and with variation in treatment timing using the methods developed in Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.12.001>. The main parameters are group-time average treatment effects which are the average treatment effect for a particular group at a a particular time. These can be aggregated into a fewer number of treatment effect parameters, and the package deals with the cases where there is selective treatment timing, dynamic treatment effects, calendar time effects, or combinations of these. There are also functions for testing the Difference in Differences assumption, and plotting group-time average treatment effects.

Testing and documenting code that communicates with remote databases can be painful. Although the interaction with R is usually relatively simple (e.g. data(frames) passed to and from a database), because they rely on a separate service and the data there, testing them can be difficult to set up, unsustainable in a continuous integration environment, or impossible without replicating an entire production cluster. This package addresses that by allowing you to make recordings from your database interactions and then play them back while testing (or in other contexts) all without needing to spin up or have access to the database your code would typically connect to.

An implementation of common statistical analysis and models with differential privacy (Dwork et al., 2006a) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14> guarantees. The package contains, for example, functions providing differentially private computations of mean, variance, median, histograms, and contingency tables. It also implements some statistical models and machine learning algorithms such as linear regression (Kifer et al., 2012) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v23/kifer12.html> and SVM (Chaudhuri et al., 2011) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v12/chaudhuri11a.html>. In addition, it implements some popular randomization mechanisms, including the Laplace mechanism (Dwork et al., 2006a) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14>, Gaussian mechanism (Dwork et al., 2006b) <doi:10.1007/11761679_29>, analytic Gaussian mechanism (Balle & Wang, 2018) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v80/balle18a.html>, and exponential mechanism (McSherry & Talwar, 2007) <doi:10.1109/FOCS.2007.66>.

Data are essential in statistical analysis. This data package consists of four datasets for descriptive statistics, two datasets for statistical hypothesis testing, and two datasets for regression analysis. All of the datasets are based on Rattanalertnusorn, A. (2024) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371944275_porkaermxarlaeakarprayuktchingan_R_and_its_applications>.

All datasets and functions required for the examples and exercises of the book "Data Science for Psychologists" (by Hansjoerg Neth, Konstanz University, 2025, <doi:10.5281/zenodo.7229812>), freely available at <https://bookdown.org/hneth/ds4psy/>. The book and corresponding courses introduce principles and methods of data science to students of psychology and other biological or social sciences. The ds4psy package primarily provides datasets, but also functions for data generation and manipulation (e.g., of text and time data) and graphics that are used in the book and its exercises. All functions included in ds4psy are designed to be explicit and instructive, rather than efficient or elegant.

Given the non-negative data and its distribution, the package estimates the rank parameter for Non-negative Matrix Factorization. The method is based on hypothesis testing, using a deconvolved bootstrap distribution to assess the significance level accurately despite the large amount of optimization error. The distribution of the non-negative data can be either Normal distributed or Poisson distributed.

Measure of agreement delta was originally by Martà n & Femia (2004) <DOI:10.1348/000711004849268>. Since then has been considered as agreement measure for different fields, since their behavior is usually better than the usual kappa index by Cohen (1960) <DOI:10.1177/001316446002000104>. The main issue with delta is that can not be computed by hand contrary to kappa. The current algorithm is based on the Version 5 of the delta windows program that can be found on <https://www.ugr.es/~bioest/software/delta/cmd.php?seccion=downloads>.

The debar sequence processing pipeline is designed for denoising high throughput sequencing data for the animal DNA barcode marker cytochrome c oxidase I (COI). The package is designed to detect and correct insertion and deletion errors within sequencer outputs. This is accomplished through comparison of input sequences against a profile hidden Markov model (PHMM) using the Viterbi algorithm (for algorithm details see Durbin et al. 1998, ISBN: 9780521629713). Inserted base pairs are removed and deleted base pairs are accounted for through the introduction of a placeholder character. Since the PHMM is a probabilistic representation of the COI barcode, corrections are not always perfect. For this reason debar censors base pairs adjacent to reported indel sites, turning them into placeholder characters (default is 7 base pairs in either direction, this feature can be disabled). Testing has shown that this censorship results in the correct sequence length being restored, and erroneous base pairs being masked the vast majority of the time (>95%).
