Loads behavioural data from the widely used Drosophila Activity Monitor System (DAMS, TriKinetics <https://trikinetics.com/>) into the rethomics framework.

Easy visualization for datasets with more than two categorical variables and additional continuous variables. The package is particularly useful for exploring complex categorical data in the context of pathway analysis across multiple conditions. This package is now in maintenance-only mode and kept for legacy compatibility; for new projects and active development, please use the successor package ggdiceplot (see <https://github.com/maflot/ggdiceplot> and <https://dice-and-domino-plot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>).

Implementation of frequency tables and bar charts for qualitative variables and checkbox fields. This package implements tables and charts used in reports at Funarte (National Arts Foundation) and OBEC (Culture and Creative Economy Observatory) in Brazil, and its main purpose is to simplify the use of R for people with a background in the humanities and arts. Examples and details can be viewed in this presentation from 2026: <https://formacao2026.netlify.app/assets/modulo_3/modulo3#/title-slide>.

Estimation and testing methods for dependently truncated data. Semi-parametric methods are based on Emura et al. (2011)<Stat Sinica 21:349-67>, Emura & Wang (2012)<doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2012.03.012>, and Emura & Murotani (2015)<doi:10.1007/s11749-015-0432-8>. Parametric approaches are based on Emura & Konno (2012)<doi:10.1007/s00362-014-0626-2> and Emura & Pan (2017)<doi:10.1007/s00362-017-0947-z>. A regression approach is based on Emura & Wang (2016)<doi:10.1007/s10463-015-0526-9>. Quasi-independence tests are based on Emura & Wang (2010)<doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2009.07.006>. Right-truncated data for Japanese male centenarians are given by Emura & Murotani (2015)<doi:10.1007/s11749-015-0432-8>.

Estimates Two-way Fixed Effects difference-in-differences/event-study models using the approach proposed by Gardner (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2207.05943>. To avoid the problems caused by OLS estimation of the Two-way Fixed Effects model, this function first estimates the fixed effects and covariates using untreated observations and then in a second stage, estimates the treatment effects.

Utilities to represent, visualize, filter, analyse, and summarize time-depth recorder (TDR) data. Miscellaneous functions for handling location data are also provided.

This package contains data organized by topics: categorical data, regression model, means comparisons, independent and repeated measures ANOVA, mixed ANOVA and ANCOVA.

Individual gene expression patterns are encoded into a series of eigenvector patterns ('WGCNA package). Using the framework of linear model-based differential expression comparisons ('limma package), time-course expression patterns for genes in different conditions are compared and analyzed for significant pattern changes. For reference, see: Greenham K, Sartor RC, Zorich S, Lou P, Mockler TC and McClung CR. eLife. 2020 Sep 30;9(4). <doi:10.7554/eLife.58993>.

This package provides a flexible container to manage and annotate Differential Gene Expression (DGE) analysis results (Smythe et. al (2015) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkv007>). The DGEobj has data slots for row (gene), col (samples), assays (matrix n-rows by m-samples dimensions) and metadata (not keyed to row, col, or assays). A set of accessory functions to deposit, query and retrieve subsets of a data workflow has been provided. Attributes are used to capture metadata such as species and gene model, including reproducibility information such that a 3rd party can access a DGEobj history to see how each data object was created or modified. Since the DGEobj is customizable and extensible it is not limited to RNA-seq analysis types of workflows -- it can accommodate nearly any data analysis workflow that starts from a matrix of assays (rows) by samples (columns).

This package provides functionality that assists in tabular description and statistical comparison of data.

Plan optimal sample size allocation and go/no-go decision rules for phase II/III drug development programs with time-to-event, binary or normally distributed endpoints when assuming fixed treatment effects or a prior distribution for the treatment effect, using methods from Kirchner et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.6624> and Preussler (2020). Optimal is in the sense of maximal expected utility, where the utility is a function taking into account the expected cost and benefit of the program. It is possible to extend to more complex settings with bias correction (Preussler S et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12874-020-01093-w>), multiple phase III trials (Preussler et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201700241>), multi-arm trials (Preussler et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/19466315.2019.1702092>), and multiple endpoints (Kieser et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/pst.1861>).

This package provides the mathematical model described by "Serostatus Testing & Dengue Vaccine Cost-Benefit Thresholds" in <doi:10.1098/rsif.2019.0234>. Using the functions in the package, that analysis can be repeated using sample life histories, either synthesized from local seroprevalence data using other functions in this package (as in the manuscript) or from some other source. The package provides a vignette which walks through the analysis in the publication, as well as a function to generate a project skeleton for such an analysis.

Employ time-calibrated phylogenies and trait/range data to test for differences in diversification rates over evolutionary time. Extend the STRAPP test from BAMMtools::traitDependentBAMM() to any time step along phylogenies. See inst/COPYRIGHTS for details on third-party code.

Simplifies and automates the process of exploring and merging data from relational databases. This package allows users to discover table relationships, create a map of all possible joins, and generate executable plans to merge data based on a structured metadata framework.

Using the Theory of Belief Functions for evidence calculus. Basic probability assignments, or mass functions, can be defined on the subsets of a set of possible values and combined. A mass function can be extended to a larger frame. Marginalization, i.e. reduction to a smaller frame can also be done. These features can be combined to analyze small belief networks and take into account situations where information cannot be satisfactorily described by probability distributions.

Derivative-Free optimization algorithms. These algorithms do not require gradient information. More importantly, they can be used to solve non-smooth optimization problems.

This package provides methods for evaluating the probability mass function, cumulative distribution function, and generating random samples from discrete tempered stable distributions. For more details see Grabchak (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11009-021-09904-3>.

Data cloud geometry (DCG) applies random walks in finding community structures for social networks. Fushing, VanderWaal, McCowan, & Koehl (2013) (<doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0056259>).

We provide a list of functions for replicating the results of the Monte Carlo simulations and empirical application of Jiang et al. (2022). In particular, we provide corresponding functions for generating the three types of random data described in this paper, as well as all the estimation strategies. Detailed information about the data generation process and estimation strategy can be found in Jiang et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2201.13004>.

This package provides a specific and comprehensive framework for the analyses of time-to-event data in agriculture. Fit non-parametric and parametric time-to-event models. Compare time-to-event curves for different experimental groups. Plots and other displays. It is particularly tailored to the analyses of data from germination and emergence assays. The methods are described in Onofri et al. (2022) "A unified framework for the analysis of germination, emergence, and other time-to-event data in weed science", Weed Science, 70, 259-271 <doi:10.1017/wsc.2022.8>.

An abstract DList class helps storing large list-type objects in a distributed manner. Corresponding high-level functions and methods for handling distributed storage (DStorage) and lists allows for processing such DLists on distributed systems efficiently. In doing so it uses a well defined storage backend implemented based on the DStorage class.

We offer an implementation of the series representation put forth in "A series representation for multidimensional Rayleigh distributions" by Wiegand and Nadarajah <DOI: 10.1002/dac.3510>. Furthermore we have implemented an integration approach proposed by Beaulieu et al. for 3 and 4-dimensional Rayleigh densities (Beaulieu, Zhang, "New simplest exact forms for the 3D and 4D multivariate Rayleigh PDFs with applications to antenna array geometrics", <DOI: 10.1109/TCOMM.2017.2709307>).
