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.

Estimation of four-fold table cell frequencies (raw data) from risk ratios (relative risks), risk differences and odds ratios. While raw data can be useful for doing meta-analysis, such data is often not provided by primary studies (with summary statistics being solely presented). Therefore, based on summary statistics (namely, risk ratios, risk differences and odds ratios), this package estimates the value of each cell in a 2x2 table according to the equations described in Di Pietrantonj C (2006) <doi:10.1002/sim.2287>.

This package provides tools to quantify transmissibility throughout an epidemic from the analysis of time series of incidence as described in Cori et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwt133> and Wallinga and Teunis (2004) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwh255>.

Parametric and nonparametric statistics for single-case design. Regarding nonparametric statistics, the index suggested by Parker, Vannest, Davis and Sauber (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.beth.2010.08.006> was included. It combines both nonoverlap and trend to estimate the effect size of a treatment in a single case design.

This package implements the methods of McGrath et al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280219889080> and Cai et al. (2021) <doi:10.1177/09622802211047348> for estimating the sample mean and standard deviation from commonly reported quantiles in meta-analysis. These methods can be applied to studies that report the sample median, sample size, and one or both of (i) the sample minimum and maximum values and (ii) the first and third quartiles. The corresponding standard error estimators described by McGrath et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221139233> are also included.

EQ-5D is a popular health related quality of life instrument used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care. Developed by the EuroQol group <https://euroqol.org/>, the instrument consists of two components: health state description and evaluation. For the description component a subject self-rates their health in terms of five dimensions; mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression using either a three-level (EQ-5D-3L, <https://euroqol.org/information-and-support/euroqol-instruments/eq-5d-3l/>) or a five-level (EQ-5D-5L, <https://euroqol.org/information-and-support/euroqol-instruments/eq-5d-5l/>) scale. Frequently the scores on these five dimensions are converted to a single utility index using country specific value sets, which can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care as well as in population health surveys. The eq5d package provides methods to calculate index scores from a subject's dimension scores. 32 TTO and 11 VAS EQ-5D-3L value sets including those for countries in Szende et al (2007) <doi:10.1007/1-4020-5511-0> and Szende et al (2014) <doi:10.1007/978-94-007-7596-1>, 48 EQ-5D-5L EQ-VT value sets, the EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value sets developed by van Hout et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008>, the crosswalk value sets for Bermuda, Jordan and Russia and the van Hout (2021) reverse crosswalk value sets. 11 EQ-5D-Y3L value sets are also included as are the NICE DSU age-sex based EQ-5D-3L to EQ-5D-5L and EQ-5D-5L to EQ-5D-3L mappings. Methods are also included for the analysis of EQ-5D profiles, including those from the book "Methods for Analyzing and Reporting EQ-5D data" by Devlin et al. (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-47622-9>. Additionally a shiny web tool is included to enable the calculation, visualisation and automated statistical analysis of EQ-5D data via a web browser using EQ-5D dimension scores stored in CSV or Excel files.

It provides functions to manipulate EpiTrax datasets, tailor reports to internal or public use, and export reports in CSV, Excel xlsx', or PDF formats.

Power analysis is used in the estimation of sample sizes for experimental designs. Most programs and R packages will only output the highest recommended sample size to the user. Often the user input can be complicated and computing multiple power analyses for different treatment comparisons can be time consuming. This package simplifies the user input and allows the user to view all of the sample size recommendations or just the ones they want to see. The calculations used to calculate the recommended sample sizes are from the pwr package.

This package provides a collection of nice plotting functions directly from a data.frame with limited customisation possibilities.

This package provides a set of functions for organising and analysing datasets from experiments run using Eyelink eye-trackers. Organising functions help to clean and prepare eye-tracking datasets for analysis, and mark up key events such as display changes and responses made by participants. Analysing functions help to create means for a wide range of standard measures (such as mean fixation durations'), which can then be fed into the appropriate statistical analyses and graphing packages as necessary.

An extension of knitr that adds flexibility in several ways. One common source of frustration with knitr is that it assumes the directory where the source file lives should be the working directory, which is often not true. ezknitr addresses this problem by giving you complete control over where all the inputs and outputs are, and adds several other convenient features to make rendering markdown/HTML documents easier.

"Evolutionary Virtual Education" - evolved - provides multiple tools to help educators (especially at the graduate level or in advanced undergraduate level courses) apply inquiry-based learning in general evolution classes. In particular, the tools provided include functions that simulate evolutionary processes (e.g., genetic drift, natural selection within a single locus) or concepts (e.g. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, phylogenetic distribution of traits). More than only simulating, the package also provides tools for students to analyze (e.g., measuring, testing, visualizing) datasets with characteristics that are common to many fields related to evolutionary biology. Importantly, the package is heavily oriented towards providing tools for inquiry-based learning - where students follow scientific practices to actively construct knowledge. For additional details, see package's vignettes.

We provide functions to fit finite mixtures of multivariate normal or t-distributions to data with various factor analytic structures adopted for the covariance/scale matrices. The factor analytic structures available include mixtures of factor analyzers and mixtures of common factor analyzers. The latter approach is so termed because the matrix of factor loadings is common to components before the component-specific rotation of the component factors to make them white noise. Note that the component-factor loadings are not common after this rotation. Maximum likelihood estimators of model parameters are obtained via the Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

Estimating individual-level covariate-outcome associations using aggregate data ("ecological inference") or a combination of aggregate and individual-level data ("hierarchical related regression").

This package implements species distribution modeling and ecological niche modeling, including: bias correction, spatial cross-validation, model evaluation, raster interpolation, biotic "velocity" (speed and direction of movement of a "mass" represented by a raster), interpolating across a time series of rasters, and use of spatially imprecise records. The heart of the package is a set of "training" functions which automatically optimize model complexity based number of available occurrences. These algorithms include MaxEnt, MaxNet, boosted regression trees/gradient boosting machines, generalized additive models, generalized linear models, natural splines, and random forests. To enhance interoperability with other modeling packages, no new classes are created. The package works with PROJ6 geodetic objects and coordinate reference systems.
