This package provides functions to impute large gaps within multivariate time series based on Dynamic Time Warping methods. Gaps of size 1 or inferior to a defined threshold are filled using simple average and weighted moving average respectively. Larger gaps are filled using the methodology provided by Phan et al. (2017) <DOI:10.1109/MLSP.2017.8168165>: a query is built immediately before/after a gap and a moving window is used to find the most similar sequence to this query using Dynamic Time Warping. To lower the calculation time, similar sequences are pre-selected using global features. Contrary to the univariate method (package DTWBI'), these global features are not estimated over the sequence containing the gap(s), but a feature matrix is built to summarize general features of the whole multivariate signal. Once the most similar sequence to the query has been identified, the adjacent sequence to this window is used to fill the gap considered. This function can deal with multiple gaps over all the sequences componing the input multivariate signal. However, for better consistency, large gaps at the same location over all sequences should be avoided.

This package performs parametric and non-parametric estimation and simulation of drifting semi-Markov processes. The definition of parametric and non-parametric model specifications is also possible. Furthermore, three different types of drifting semi-Markov models are considered. These models differ in the number of transition matrices and sojourn time distributions used for the computation of a number of semi-Markov kernels, which in turn characterize the drifting semi-Markov kernel. For the parametric model estimation and specification, several discrete distributions are considered for the sojourn times: Uniform, Poisson, Geometric, Discrete Weibull and Negative Binomial. The non-parametric model specification makes no assumptions about the shape of the sojourn time distributions. Semi-Markov models are described in: Barbu, V.S., Limnios, N. (2008) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-73173-5>. Drifting Markov models are described in: Vergne, N. (2008) <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1326>.

This package implements two out-of box classifiers presented in <doi:10.1002/env.2848> for distinguishing forest and non-forest terrain images. Under these algorithms, there are frequentist approaches: one parametric, using stable distributions, and another one- non-parametric, using the squared Mahalanobis distance. The package also contains functions for data handling and building of new classifiers as well as some test data set.

Open, read data from and modify Data Packages. Data Packages are an open standard for bundling and describing data sets (<https://datapackage.org>).

S3 classes for multivariate optimization using the desirability function by Derringer and Suich (1980).

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. Here we use cyclic shift permutations to identify recurrent copy number alterations in a single cohort or recurrent copy number differences in two cohorts based on a common set of genomic markers. Additional functionality is provided to perform downstream analyses, including the creation of summary files and graphics. DiNAMIC.Duo builds upon the original DiNAMIC package of Walter et al.

The Directed Prediction Index ('DPI') is a quasi-causal inference (causal discovery) method for observational data designed to quantify the relative endogeneity (relative dependence) of outcome (Y) versus predictor (X) variables in regression models. By comparing the proportion of variance explained (R-squared) between the Y-as-outcome model and the X-as-outcome model while controlling for a sufficient number of possible confounders, it can suggest a plausible (admissible) direction of influence from a less endogenous variable (X) to a more endogenous variable (Y). Methodological details are provided at <https://psychbruce.github.io/DPI/>. This package also includes functions for data simulation and network analysis (correlation, partial correlation, and Bayesian networks).

Perform a test of a simple null hypothesis about a directly standardized rate and obtain the matching confidence interval using a choice of methods.

Cluster-randomized trials (CRTs) assign treatment to groups rather than individuals, so valid analyses must distinguish cluster-level and individual-level effects and define estimands within a potential-outcomes framework. This package supports right-censored survival outcomes for both single-state (binary) and multi-state settings. For single-state outcomes, it provides estimands based on stage-specific survival contrasts (SPCE) and restricted mean survival time (RMST). For multi-state outcomes, it provides SPCE as well as a generalized win-based restricted mean time-in-favor estimand (RMT-IF). The package implements doubly robust estimators that accommodate covariate-dependent censoring and remain consistent if either the outcome model or the censoring model is correctly specified. Users can choose marginal Cox or gamma-frailty Cox working models for nuisance estimation, and inference is supported via leave-one-cluster-out jackknife variance and confidence interval estimation. Methods are described in Fang et al. (2025) "Estimands and doubly robust estimation for cluster-randomized trials with survival outcomes" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.08438>.

Cancer genomes contain large numbers of somatic alterations but few genes drive tumor development. Identifying cancer driver genes is critical for precision oncology. Most of current approaches either identify driver genes based on mutational recurrence or using estimated scores predicting the functional consequences of mutations. driveR is a tool for personalized or batch analysis of genomic data for driver gene prioritization by combining genomic information and prior biological knowledge. As features, driveR uses coding impact metaprediction scores, non-coding impact scores, somatic copy number alteration scores, hotspot gene/double-hit gene condition, phenolyzer gene scores and memberships to cancer-related KEGG pathways. It uses these features to estimate cancer-type-specific probability for each gene of being a cancer driver using the related task of a multi-task learning classification model. The method is described in detail in Ulgen E, Sezerman OU. 2021. driveR: driveR: a novel method for prioritizing cancer driver genes using somatic genomics data.

Density estimation for possibly large data sets and conditional/unconditional random number generation or bootstrapping with distribution element trees. The function det.construct translates a dataset into a distribution element tree. To evaluate the probability density based on a previously computed tree at arbitrary query points, the function det.query is available. The functions det1 and det2 provide density estimation and plotting for one- and two-dimensional datasets. Conditional/unconditional smooth bootstrapping from an available distribution element tree can be performed by det.rnd'. For more details on distribution element trees, see: Meyer, D.W.

It is a novel tool used to identify the candidate drugs against a particular disease based on the drug target set enrichment analysis. It assumes the most effective drugs are those with a closer affinity in the protein-protein interaction network to the specified disease. (See Gómez-Carballa et al.
