Diagnostics for linear L1 regression (also known as LAD - Least Absolute Deviations), including: estimation, confidence intervals, tests of hypotheses, measures of leverage, methods of diagnostics for L1 regression, special diagnostics graphs and measures of leverage. The algorithms are based in Dielman (2005) <doi:10.1080/0094965042000223680>, Elian et al. (2000) <doi:10.1080/03610920008832518> and Dodge (1997) <doi:10.1006/jmva.1997.1666>. This package builds on the quantreg package, which is a well-established package for tuning quantile regression models. There are also tests to verify if the errors have a Laplace distribution based on the work of Puig and Stephens (2000) <doi:10.2307/1270952>.

Spatial analyses involving binning require that every bin have the same area, but this is impossible using a rectangular grid laid over the Earth or over any projection of the Earth. Discrete global grids use hexagons, triangles, and diamonds to overcome this issue, overlaying the Earth with equally-sized bins. This package provides utilities for working with discrete global grids, along with utilities to aid in plotting such data.

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%).

This package provides a general framework using mixture Weibull distributions to accurately predict biomarker-guided trial duration accounting for heterogeneous population. Extensive simulations are performed to evaluate the impact of heterogeneous population and the dynamics of biomarker characteristics and disease on the study duration. Several influential parameters including median survival time, enrollment rate, biomarker prevalence and effect size are identified. Efficiency gains of biomarker-guided trials can be quantitatively compared to the traditional all-comers design. For reference, see Zhang et al. (2024) <arXiv:2401.00540>.

Empirical Bayes methods for learning prior distributions from data. An unknown prior distribution (g) has yielded (unobservable) parameters, each of which produces a data point from a parametric exponential family (f). The goal is to estimate the unknown prior ("g-modeling") by deconvolution and Empirical Bayes methods. Details and examples are in the paper by Narasimhan and Efron (2020, <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i11>).
