Various diffusion models to forecast new product growth. Currently the package contains Bass, Gompertz, Gamma/Shifted Gompertz and Weibull curves. See Meade and Islam (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2006.01.005>.

Clustered or multilevel data structures are common in the assessment of differential item functioning (DIF), particularly in the context of large-scale assessment programs. This package allows users to implement extensions of the Mantel-Haenszel DIF detection procedures in the presence of multilevel data based on the work of Begg (1999) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.1999.00302.x>, Begg & Paykin (2001) <doi:10.1080/00949650108812115>, and French & Finch (2013) <doi:10.1177/0013164412472341>.

The automated clustering and quantification of the digital PCR data is based on the combination of DBSCAN (Hahsler et al. (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i01>) and c-means (Bezdek et al. (1981) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4757-0450-1>) algorithms. The analysis is independent of multiplexing geometry, dPCR system, and input amount. The details about input data and parameters are available in the vignette.

Implementation of frequency tables and bar charts for qualitative variables and checkbox fields. This package implements tables and charts used in reports at Funarte (National Arts Foundation) and OBEC (Culture and Creative Economy Observatory) in Brazil, and its main purpose is to simplify the use of R for people with a background in the humanities and arts. Examples and details can be viewed in this presentation from 2026: <https://formacao2026.netlify.app/assets/modulo_3/modulo3#/title-slide>.

Create quick and easy dot-and-whisker plots of regression results. It takes as input either (1) a coefficient table in standard form or (2) one (or a list of) fitted model objects (of any type that has methods implemented in the parameters package). It returns ggplot objects that can be further customized using tools from the ggplot2 package. The package also includes helper functions for tasks such as rescaling coefficients or relabeling predictor variables. See more methodological discussion of the visualization and data management methods used in this package in Kastellec and Leoni (2007) <doi:10.1017/S1537592707072209> and Gelman (2008) <doi:10.1002/sim.3107>.

This package provides a set of three two-census methods to the estimate the degree of death registration coverage for a population. Implemented methods include the Generalized Growth Balance method (GGB), the Synthetic Extinct Generation method (SEG), and a hybrid of the two, GGB-SEG. Each method offers automatic estimation, but users may also specify exact parameters or use a graphical interface to guess parameters in the traditional way if desired.

This package provides a shiny application to compute daily and cumulative degree-days from minimum and maximum temperatures using average, single triangle, and single sine methods, with optional upper temperature thresholds. The application maps cumulative thermal accumulation to user-defined developmental stage thresholds and supports exporting tabular and graphical outputs. The degree-day approach follows assumptions described by Higley et al. (1986) <doi:10.1093/ee/15.5.999>.

This package provides a toolbox for descriptive statistics, based on the computation of frequency and contingency tables. Several statistical functions and plot methods are provided to describe univariate or bivariate distributions of factors, integer series and numerical series either provided as individual values or as bins.

Estimates probabilistic phylogenetic Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and non-phylogenetic probabilistic PCA. Provides methods to implement alternative models of trait evolution including Brownian motion (BM), Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU), Early Burst (EB), and Pagel's lambda. Also provides flexible biplot functions.

This package provides a comprehensive visualization toolkit built with coders of all skill levels and color-vision impaired audiences in mind. It allows creation of finely-tuned, publication-quality figures from single function calls. Visualizations include scatter plots, compositional bar plots, violin, box, and ridge plots, and more. Customization ranges from size and title adjustments to discrete-group circling and labeling, hidden data overlay upon cursor hovering via ggplotly() conversion, and many more, all with simple, discrete inputs. Color blindness friendliness is powered by legend adjustments (enlarged keys), and by allowing the use of shapes or letter-overlay in addition to the carefully selected dittoColors().

It is used to identify dysregulated pathways based on a pre-ranked gene pair list. A fast algorithm is used to make the computation really fast. The data in package DysPIAData is needed.

Base DataSHIELD functions for the client side. DataSHIELD is a software package which allows you to do non-disclosive federated analysis on sensitive data. DataSHIELD analytic functions have been designed to only share non disclosive summary statistics, with built in automated output checking based on statistical disclosure control. With data sites setting the threshold values for the automated output checks. For more details, see citation('dsBaseClient').

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.

Formatting of population and case data, calculation of Standardized Incidence Ratios, and fitting the BYM model using INLA'. For details see Brown (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i12>.

Divide taxonomic occurrence data into geographic regions of fair comparison, with three customisable methods to standardise area and extent. Calculate common biodiversity and range-size metrics on subsampled data. Background theory and practical considerations for the methods are described in Antell and others (2024) <doi:10.1017/pab.2023.36>.

This package provides sample size and power calculations when the treatment time-lag effect is present and the lag duration is either homogeneous across the individual subject, or varies heterogeneously from individual to individual within a certain domain and following a specific pattern. The methods used are described in Xu, Z., Zhen, B., Park, Y., & Zhu, B. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7157>.

This package provides a convenient framework to simulate, test, power, and visualize data for differential expression studies with lognormal or negative binomial outcomes. Supported designs are two-sample comparisons of independent or dependent outcomes. Power may be summarized in the context of controlling the per-family error rate or family-wise error rate. Negative binomial methods are described in Yu, Fernandez, and Brock (2017) <doi:10.1186/s12859-017-1648-2> and Yu, Fernandez, and Brock (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12859-020-3541-7>.

This is the companion package to the Data Visualization Geometries Encyclopedia, providing seamless access to the associated data.

Three global value chain (GVC) decompositions are implemented. The Leontief decomposition derives the value added origin of exports by country and industry as in Hummels, Ishii and Yi (2001). The Koopman, Wang and Wei (2014) decomposition splits country-level exports into 9 value added components, and the Wang, Wei and Zhu (2013) decomposition splits bilateral exports into 16 value added components. Various GVC indicators based on these decompositions are computed in the complimentary gvc package. --- References: --- Hummels, D., Ishii, J., & Yi, K. M. (2001).

This package provides a simple syntax to change the default values for function arguments, whether they are in packages or defined locally.

Implement DiSTATIS and CovSTATIS (three-way multidimensional scaling). DiSTATIS and CovSTATIS are used to analyze multiple distance/covariance matrices collected on the same set of observations. These methods are based on Abdi, H., Williams, L.J., Valentin, D., & Bennani-Dosse, M. (2012) <doi:10.1002/wics.198>.
