Allows the user to estimate a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model via maximum log-likelihood or nonlinear least squares. It further permits to test for linearity in the multivariate framework against a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model with a single transition variable. The estimation method is discussed in Terasvirta and Yang (2014, <doi:10.1108/S0731-9053(2013)0000031008>). Also, realized covariances can be constructed from stock market prices or returns, as explained in Andersen et al. (2001, <doi:10.1016/S0304-405X(01)00055-1>).

Characterisation of the extremal dependence structure of time series, avoiding pre-processing and filtering as done typically with peaks-over-threshold methods. It uses the conditional approach of Heffernan and Tawn (2004) <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2004.02050.x> which is very flexible in terms of extremal and asymptotic dependence structures, and Bayesian methods improve efficiency and allow for deriving measures of uncertainty. For example, the extremal index, related to the size of clusters in time, can be estimated and samples from its posterior distribution obtained.

This package provides additional data sets, methods and documentation to complement the vcd package for Visualizing Categorical Data and the gnm package for Generalized Nonlinear Models. In particular, vcdExtra extends mosaic, assoc and sieve plots from vcd to handle glm() and gnm() models and adds a 3D version in mosaic3d'. Additionally, methods are provided for comparing and visualizing lists of glm and loglm objects. This package is now a support package for the book, "Discrete Data Analysis with R" by Michael Friendly and David Meyer.

This package provides a set of tools to facilitate package development and make R a more user-friendly place. It is intended mostly for developers (or anyone who writes/shares functions). It provides a simple, powerful and flexible way to check the arguments passed to functions. The developer can easily describe the type of argument needed. If the user provides a wrong argument, then an informative error message is prompted with the requested type and the problem clearly stated--saving the user a lot of time in debugging.

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the most recently defined algorithms by Dervis Karaboga in 2005, motivated by the intelligent behavior of honey bees. It is as simple as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithms, and uses only common control parameters such as colony size and maximum cycle number. The r-abcoptim implements the Artificial bee colony optimization algorithm http://mf.erciyes.edu.tr/abc/pub/tr06_2005.pdf. This version is a work-in-progress and is written in R code.

Blind users do not have access to the graphical output from R without printing the content of graphics windows to an embosser of some kind. This is not as immediate as is required for efficient access to statistical output. The functions here are created so that blind people can make even better use of R. This includes the text descriptions of graphs, convenience functions to replace the functionality offered in many GUI front ends, and experimental functionality for optimising graphical content to prepare it for embossing as tactile images.

This package performs BTLLasso as described by Schauberger and Tutz (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v088.i09> and Schauberger and Tutz (2017) <doi:10.1177/1471082X17693086>. BTLLasso is a method to include different types of variables in paired comparison models and, therefore, to allow for heterogeneity between subjects. Variables can be subject-specific, object-specific and subject-object-specific and can have an influence on the attractiveness/strength of the objects. Suitable L1 penalty terms are used to cluster certain effects and to reduce the complexity of the models.

Useful tools for fitting, validating, and forecasting of practical convolution-closed time series models for low counts are provided. Marginal distributions of the data can be modelled via Poisson and Generalized Poisson innovations. Regression effects can be incorporated through time varying innovation rates. The models are described in Jung and Tremayne (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9892.2010.00697.x> and the model assessment tools are presented in Czado et al. (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2009.01191.x> and, Tsay (1992) <doi:10.2307/2347612>.

Easy-to-use and efficient interface for Bayesian inference of complex panel (time series) data using dynamic multivariate panel models by Helske and Tikka (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.alcr.2024.100617>. The package supports joint modeling of multiple measurements per individual, time-varying and time-invariant effects, and a wide range of discrete and continuous distributions. Estimation of these dynamic multivariate panel models is carried out via Stan'. For an in-depth tutorial of the package, see (Tikka and Helske, 2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2302.01607>.

The algorithm of semi-supervised learning based on finite Gaussian mixture models with a missing-data mechanism is designed for a fitting g-class Gaussian mixture model via maximum likelihood (ML). It is proposed to treat the labels of the unclassified features as missing-data and to introduce a framework for their missing as in the pioneering work of Rubin (1976) for missing in incomplete data analysis. This dependency in the missingness pattern can be leveraged to provide additional information about the optimal classifier as specified by Bayesâ rule.

Analyzing censored variables usually requires the use of optimization algorithms. This package provides an alternative algebraic approach to the task of determining the expected value of a random censored variable with a known censoring point. Likewise this approach allows for the determination of the censoring point if the expected value is known. These results are derived under the assumption that the variable follows an Epanechnikov kernel distribution with known mean and range prior to censoring. Statistical functions related to the uncensored Epanechnikov distribution are also provided by this package.

Gene information from Ensembl genome builds GRCh38.p14 and GRCh37.p13 to use with the topr package. The datasets were originally downloaded from <https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current/gtf/homo_sapiens/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.111.gtf.gz> and <https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/grch37/current/gtf/homo_sapiens/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.87.gtf.gz> and converted into the format required by the topr package. See <https://github.com/totajuliusd/topr?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-use-topr-with-other-species-than-human> to see the required format.

Routines for the estimation or simultaneous estimation and variable selection in several functional semiparametric models with scalar responses are provided. These models include the functional single-index model, the semi-functional partial linear model, and the semi-functional partial linear single-index model. Additionally, the package offers algorithms for handling scalar covariates with linear effects that originate from the discretization of a curve. This functionality is applicable in the context of the linear model, the multi-functional partial linear model, and the multi-functional partial linear single-index model.

Fits the (randomized drift) inverse Gaussian distribution to survival data. The model is described in Aalen OO, Borgan O, Gjessing HK. Survival and Event History Analysis. A Process Point of View. Springer, 2008. It is based on describing time to event as the barrier hitting time of a Wiener process, where drift towards the barrier has been randomized with a Gaussian distribution. The model allows covariates to influence starting values of the Wiener process and/or average drift towards a barrier, with a user-defined choice of link functions.

This package provides a collection of helper functions for multiple regression models fitted by lm(). Most of them are simple functions for simple tasks which can be done with coding, but may not be easy for occasional users of R. Most of the tasks addressed are those sometimes needed when using the manymome package (Cheung and Cheung, 2023, <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02224-z>) and stdmod package (Cheung, Cheung, Lau, Hui, and Vong, 2022, <doi:10.1037/hea0001188>). However, they can also be used in other scenarios.

This package provides functions to support rigorous processes in data cleaning, evaluation, and documentation across datasets from different studies based on Maelstrom Research guidelines. The package includes the core functions to evaluate and format the main inputs that define the process, diagnose errors, and summarize and evaluate datasets and their associated data dictionaries. The main outputs are clean datasets and associated metadata, and tabular and visual summary reports. As described in Maelstrom Research guidelines for rigorous retrospective data harmonization (Fortier I and al. (2017) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyw075>).

Applies phylogenetic comparative methods (PCM) and phylogenetic trait imputation using structural equation models (SEM), extending methods from Thorson et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14076>. This implementation includes a minimal set of features, to allow users to easily read all of the documentation and source code. PCM using SEM includes phylogenetic linear models and structural equation models as nested submodels, but also allows imputation of missing values. Features and comparison with other packages are described in Thorson and van der Bijl (2023) <doi:10.1111/jeb.14234>.

This package contains three simulation functions for implementing the entire Phase 123 trial and the separate Eff-Tox and Phase 3 portions of the trial, which may be beneficial for use on clusters. The functions AssignEffTox() and RandomizeEffTox() assign doses to patient cohorts during phase 12 and Reoptimize() determines the optimal dose to continue with during Phase 3. The functions ReturnMeansAgent() and ReturnMeanControl() gives the true mean survival for the agent doses and control and ReturnOCS() gives the operating characteristics of the design.

Supports propensity score weighting analysis of observational studies and randomized trials. Enables the estimation and inference of average causal effects with binary and multiple treatments using overlap weights (ATO), inverse probability of treatment weights (ATE), average treatment effect among the treated weights (ATT), matching weights (ATM) and entropy weights (ATEN), with and without propensity score trimming. These weights are members of the family of balancing weights introduced in Li, Morgan and Zaslavsky (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1260466> and Li and Li (2019) <doi:10.1214/19-AOAS1282>.

This package provides tools for an automated identification of diagnostic molecular characters, i.e. such columns in a given nucleotide or amino acid alignment that allow to distinguish taxa from each other. These characters can then be used to complement the formal descriptions of the taxa, which are often based on morphological and anatomical features. Especially for morphologically cryptic species, this will be helpful. QUIDDICH distinguishes between four different types of diagnostic characters. For more information, see "Kuehn, A.L., Haase, M. 2019. QUIDDICH: QUick IDentification of DIagnostic CHaracters.".

This package provides user friendly methods for the identification of sequence patterns that are statistically significantly associated with a property of the sequence. For instance, SeqFeatR allows to identify viral immune escape mutations for hosts of given HLA types. The underlying statistical method is Fisher's exact test, with appropriate corrections for multiple testing, or Bayes. Patterns may be point mutations or n-tuple of mutations. SeqFeatR offers several ways to visualize the results of the statistical analyses, see Budeus (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0146409>.

Analysis of annual average ocean water level time series, providing improved estimates of trend (mean sea level) and associated real-time velocities and accelerations. Improved trend estimates are based on singular spectrum analysis methods. Various gap-filling options are included to accommodate incomplete time series records. The package also includes a range of diagnostic tools to inspect the components comprising the original time series which enables expert interpretation and selection of likely trend components. A wide range of screen and plot to file options are available in the package.

Treatment and visualization of membrane (selective) transport data. Transport profiles involving up to three species are produced as publication-ready plots and several membrane performance parameters (e.g. separation factors as defined in Koros et al. (1996) <doi:10.1351/pac199668071479> and non-linear regression parameters for the equations described in Rodriguez de San Miguel et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.jhazmat.2014.03.052>) can be obtained. Many widely used experimental setups (e.g. membrane physical aging) can be easily studied through the package's graphical representations.
