Uses species occupancy at coarse grain sizes to predict species occupancy at fine grain sizes. Ten models are provided to fit and extrapolate the occupancy-area relationship, as well as methods for preparing atlas data for modelling. See Marsh et. al. (2018) <doi:10.18637/jss.v086.c03>.

Implementations of several multiple testing procedures that control the family-wise error rate (FWER) designed specifically for discrete tests. Included are discrete adaptations of the Bonferroni, Holm, Hochberg and Å idák procedures as described in the papers Döhler (2010) "Validation of credit default probabilities using multiple-testing procedures" <doi:10.21314/JRMV.2010.062> and Zhu & Guo (2019) "Family-Wise Error Rate Controlling Procedures for Discrete Data" <doi:10.1080/19466315.2019.1654912>. The main procedures of this package take as input the results of a test procedure from package DiscreteTests or a set of observed p-values and their discrete support under their nulls. A shortcut function to apply discrete procedures directly to data is also provided.

The goal of dynamicpv is to provide a simple way to calculate (net) present values and outputs from health economic models (especially cost-effectiveness and budget impact) in discrete time that reflect dynamic pricing and dynamic uptake. Dynamic pricing is also known as life cycle pricing; dynamic uptake is also known as multiple or stacked cohorts, or dynamic disease prevalence. Shafrin (2024) <doi:10.1515/fhep-2024-0014> provides an explanation of dynamic value elements, in the context of Generalized Cost Effectiveness Analysis, and Puls (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2024.03.006> reviews challenges of incorporating such dynamic value elements. This package aims to reduce those challenges.

This package provides documentation in form of a common vignette to packages distr', distrEx', distrMod', distrSim', distrTEst', distrTeach', and distrEllipse'.

This package performs distance sampling simulations. dsims repeatedly generates instances of a user defined population within a given survey region. It then generates realisations of a survey design and simulates the detection process. The data are then analysed so that the results can be compared for accuracy and precision across all replications. This process allows users to optimise survey designs for their specific set of survey conditions. The effects of uncertainty in population distribution or parameters can be investigated under a number of simulations so that users can be confident that they have achieved a robust survey design before deploying vessels into the field. The distance sampling designs used in this package from dssd are detailed in Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008, ISBN-13: 978-0199225873). General distance sampling methods are detailed in Introduction to Distance Sampling: Estimating Abundance of Biological Populations, Buckland et. al. (2004, ISBN-13: 978-0198509271). Find out more about estimating animal/plant abundance with distance sampling at <https://distancesampling.org/>.

Implementation of selected Tidyverse functions within DataSHIELD', an open-source federated analysis solution in R. Currently, DataSHIELD contains very limited tools for data manipulation, so the aim of this package is to improve the researcher experience by implementing essential functions for data manipulation, including subsetting, filtering, grouping, and renaming variables. This is the serverside package which should be installed on the server holding the data, and is used in conjuncture with the clientside package dsTidyverseClient which is installed in the local R environment of the analyst. For more information, see <https://tidyverse.org/> and <https://datashield.org/>.

Includes functions for the construction of matched samples that are balanced and representative by design. Among others, these functions can be used for matching in observational studies with treated and control units, with cases and controls, in related settings with instrumental variables, and in discontinuity designs. Also, they can be used for the design of randomized experiments, for example, for matching before randomization. By default, designmatch uses the highs optimization solver, but its performance is greatly enhanced by the Gurobi optimization solver and its associated R interface. For their installation, please follow the instructions at <https://www.gurobi.com/getting-started/> and <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r/setup.html>. We have also included directions in the gurobi_installation file in the inst folder.

This package provides functions for demographic analysis including lifetable calculations; Lee-Carter modelling; functional data analysis of mortality rates, fertility rates, net migration numbers; and stochastic population forecasting.

An implementation of major general-purpose mechanisms for privatizing statistics, models, and machine learners, within the framework of differential privacy of Dwork et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14>. Example mechanisms include the Laplace mechanism for releasing numeric aggregates, and the exponential mechanism for releasing set elements. A sensitivity sampler (Rubinstein & Alda, 2017) <arXiv:1706.02562> permits sampling target non-private function sensitivity; combined with the generic mechanisms, it permits turn-key privatization of arbitrary programs.

Smooth testing of goodness of fit. These tests are data driven (alternative hypothesis is dynamically selected based on data). In this package you will find various tests for exponent, Gaussian, Gumbel and uniform distribution.

Given a set of predictive quantiles from a distribution, estimate the distribution and create `d`, `p`, `q`, and `r` functions to evaluate its density function, distribution function, and quantile function, and generate random samples. On the interior of the provided quantiles, an interpolation method such as a monotonic cubic spline is used; the tails are approximated by a location-scale family.

This package provides a metric called Density-Based Clustering Validation index (DBCV) index to evaluate clustering results, following the <https://github.com/pajaskowiak/clusterConfusion/blob/main/R/dbcv.R> R implementation by Pablo Andretta Jaskowiak.

This package provides constrained triangulation of polygons. Ear cutting (or ear clipping) applies constrained triangulation by successively cutting triangles from a polygon defined by path/s. Holes are supported by introducing a bridge segment between polygon paths. This package wraps the header-only library earcut.hpp <https://github.com/mapbox/earcut.hpp> which includes a reference to the method used by Held, M. (2001) <doi:10.1007/s00453-001-0028-4>.

Designed to create a basic data dictionary and append to the original dataset's attributes list. The package makes use of a tidy dataset and creates a data frame that will serve as a linker that will aid in building the dictionary. The dictionary is then appended to the list of the original dataset's attributes. The user will have the option of entering variable and item descriptions by writing code or use alternate functions that will prompt the user to add these.
