To facilitate the analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) time activity curve (TAC) data, and to encourage open science and replicability, this package supports data loading and analysis of multiple TAC file formats. Functions are available to analyze loaded TAC data for individual participants or in batches. Major functionality includes weighted TAC merging by region of interest (ROI), calculating models including standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) and distribution volume ratio (DVR, Logan et al. 1996 <doi:10.1097/00004647-199609000-00008>), basic plotting functions and calculation of cut-off values (Aizenstein et al. 2008 <doi:10.1001/archneur.65.11.1509>). Please see the walkthrough vignette for a detailed overview of tacmagic functions.

This package provides functions for comparing survival curves using the max-combo test at a single timepoint or repeatedly at successive respective timepoints while controlling type I error (i.e., the group sequential setting), as published by Prior (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220931560>. The max-combo test is a generalization of the weighted log-rank test, which itself is a generalization of the log-rank test, which is a commonly used statistical test for comparing survival curves, e.g., during or after a clinical trial as part of an effort to determine if a new drug or therapy is more effective at delaying undesirable outcomes than an established drug or therapy or a placebo.

Clustering via parsimonious Gaussian Mixtures of Experts using the MoEClust models introduced by Murphy and Murphy (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11634-019-00373-8>. This package fits finite Gaussian mixture models with a formula interface for supplying gating and/or expert network covariates using a range of parsimonious covariance parameterisations from the GPCM family via the EM/CEM algorithm. Visualisation of the results of such models using generalised pairs plots and the inclusion of an additional noise component is also facilitated. A greedy forward stepwise search algorithm is provided for identifying the optimal model in terms of the number of components, the GPCM covariance parameterisation, and the subsets of gating/expert network covariates.

This package provides methods for detecting structural breaks, determining the number of breaks, and estimating break locations in linear quantile regression, using one or multiple quantiles, based on Qu (2008) and Oka and Qu (2011). Applicable to both time series and repeated cross-sectional data. The main function is rq.break(). . References for detailed theoretical and empirical explanations: . (1) Qu, Z. (2008).

Data visualization tours animates linear projection of multivariate data as its basis (ie. orientation) changes. The spinifex packages generates paths for manual tours by manipulating the contribution of a single variable at a time Cook & Buja (1997) <doi:10.1080/10618600.1997.10474754>. Other types of tours, such as grand (random walk) and guided (optimizing some objective function) are available in the tourr package Wickham et al. <doi:10.18637/jss.v040.i02>. spinifex builds on tourr and can render tours with gganimate and plotly graphics, and allows for exporting as an .html widget and as an .gif, respectively. This work is fully discussed in Spyrison & Cook (2020) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2020-027>.

This package provides option settings management that goes beyond R's default options function. With this package, users can define their own option settings manager holding option names, default values and (if so desired) ranges or sets of allowed option values that will be automatically checked. Settings can then be retrieved, altered and reset to defaults with ease. For R programmers and package developers it offers cloning and merging functionality which allows for conveniently defining global and local options, possibly in a multilevel options hierarchy. See the package vignette for some examples concerning functions, S4 classes, and reference classes. There are convenience functions to reset par() and options() to their factory defaults'.

Clonal cell groups share common mutations within cancer, precancer, and even clinically normal appearing tissues. The frequency and location of these mutations may predict prognosis and cancer risk. It has also been well established that certain genomic regions have increased sensitivity to acquiring mutations. Mutation-sensitive genomic regions may therefore serve as markers for predicting cancer risk. This package contains multiple functions to establish significantly mutated hotspots, compare hotspot mutation burden between samples, and perform exploratory data analysis of the correlation between hotspot mutation burden and personal risk factors for cancer, such as age, gender, and history of carcinogen exposure. This package allows users to identify robust genomic markers to help establish cancer risk.

Tests on properties of space-time covariance functions. Tests on symmetry, separability and for assessing different forms of non-separability are available. Moreover tests on some classes of covariance functions, such that the classes of product-sum models, Gneiting models and integrated product models have been provided. It is the companion R package to the papers of Cappello, C., De Iaco, S., Posa, D., 2018, Testing the type of non-separability and some classes of space-time covariance function models <doi:10.1007/s00477-017-1472-2> and Cappello, C., De Iaco, S., Posa, D., 2020, covatest: an R package for selecting a class of space-time covariance functions <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i01>.

Closed testing has been proved powerful for true discovery guarantee. The computation of closed testing is, however, quite burdensome. A general way to reduce computational complexity is to combine partial closed testings for some prespecified feature sets of interest. Partial closed testings are performed at Bonferroni-corrected alpha level to guarantee the lower bounds for the number of true discoveries in prespecified sets are simultaneously valid. For any post hoc chosen sets of interest, coherence property is used to get the lower bound. In this package, we implement closed testing with globaltest to calculate the lower bound for number of true discoveries, see Ningning Xu et.al (2021) <arXiv:2001.01541> for detailed description.

The BioTIME database was first published in 2018 and inspired ideas, questions, project and research article. To make it even more accessible, an R package was created. The BioTIMEr package provides tools designed to interact with the BioTIME database. The functions provided include the BioTIME recommended methods for preparing (gridding and rarefaction) time series data, a selection of standard biodiversity metrics (including species richness, numerical abundance and exponential Shannon) alongside examples on how to display change over time. It also includes a sample subset of both the query and meta data, the full versions of which are freely available on the BioTIME website <https://biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk/home.php>.

Estimates coefficients of extended LASSO penalized linear regression and generalized linear models. Currently lasso and elastic net penalized linear regression and generalized linear models are considered. This package currently utilizes an accurate approximation of L1 penalty and then a modified Jacobi algorithm to estimate the coefficients. There is provision for plotting of the solutions and predictions of coefficients at given values of lambda. This package also contains functions for cross validation to select a suitable lambda value given the data. Also provides a function for estimation in fused lasso penalized linear regression. For more details, see Mandal, B. N.(2014). Computational methods for L1 penalized GLM model fitting, unpublished report submitted to Macquarie University, NSW, Australia.

We developed a comprehensive tool that helps with visualization and analysis of networks with the same variables across multiple factor levels. The netShiny contains most of the popular network features such as centrality measures, modularity, and other summary statistics (e.g. clustering coefficient). It also contains known tools to look at the (dis)similarities between two networks, such as pairwise distance measures between networks, set operations on the nodes of the networks, distribution of the weights of the edges and a network representing the difference between two correlation matrices. The package netShiny also contains tools to perform bootstrapping and find clusters in networks. See the netShiny manual for more information, documentation and examples.

We extend two general methods of moment estimators to panel vector autoregression models (PVAR) with p lags of endogenous variables, predetermined and strictly exogenous variables. This general PVAR model contains the first difference GMM estimator by Holtz-Eakin et al. (1988) <doi:10.2307/1913103>, Arellano and Bond (1991) <doi:10.2307/2297968> and the system GMM estimator by Blundell and Bond (1998) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(98)00009-8>. We also provide specification tests (Hansen overidentification test, lag selection criterion and stability test of the PVAR polynomial) and classical structural analysis for PVAR models such as orthogonal and generalized impulse response functions, bootstrapped confidence intervals for impulse response analysis and forecast error variance decompositions.

Offers a helping hand to psychologists and other behavioral scientists who routinely deal with experimental data from factorial experiments. It includes several functions to format output from other R functions according to the style guidelines of the APA (American Psychological Association). This formatted output can be copied directly into manuscripts to facilitate data reporting. These features are backed up by a toolkit of several small helper functions, e.g., offering out-of-the-box outlier removal. The package lends its name to Georg "Schorsch" Schuessler, ingenious technician at the Department of Psychology III, University of Wuerzburg. For details on the implemented methods, see Roland Pfister and Markus Janczyk (2016) <doi: 10.20982/tqmp.12.2.p147>.

Generates balancing weights for causal effect estimation in observational studies with binary, multi-category, or continuous point or longitudinal treatments by easing and extending the functionality of several R packages and providing in-house estimation methods. Available methods include those that rely on parametric modeling, optimization, and machine learning. Also allows for assessment of weights and checking of covariate balance by interfacing directly with the cobalt package. Methods for estimating weighted regression models that take into account uncertainty in the estimation of the weights via M-estimation or bootstrapping are available. See the vignette "Installing Supporting Packages" for instructions on how to install any package WeightIt uses, including those that may not be on CRAN.

The twoddpcr package takes Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) droplet amplitude data from Bio-Rad's QuantaSoft and can classify the droplets. A summary of the positive/negative droplet counts can be generated, which can then be used to estimate the number of molecules using the Poisson distribution. This is the first open source package that facilitates the automatic classification of general two channel ddPCR data. Previous work includes definetherain (Jones et al., 2014) and ddpcRquant (Trypsteen et al., 2015) which both handle one channel ddPCR experiments only. The ddpcr package available on CRAN (Attali et al., 2016) supports automatic gating of a specific class of two channel ddPCR experiments only.

Implementing algorithms and fitting models when sites (possibly remote) share computation summaries rather than actual data over HTTP with a master R process (using opencpu', for example). A stratified Cox model and a singular value decomposition are provided. The former makes direct use of code from the R survival package. (That is, the underlying Cox model code is derived from that in the R survival package.) Sites may provide data via several means: CSV files, Redcap API, etc. An extensible design allows for new methods to be added in the future and includes facilities for local prototyping and testing. Web applications are provided (via shiny') for the implemented methods to help in designing and deploying the computations.

This package provides functions that calculates common types of splitting criteria used in random forests for classification problems, as well as functions that make predictions based on a single tree or a Forest-R.K. model; the package also provides functions to generate importance plot for a Forest-R.K. model, as well as the 2D multidimensional-scaling plot of data points that are colour coded by their predicted class types by the Forest-R.K. model. This package is based on: Bernard, S., Heutte, L., Adam, S., (2008, ISBN:978-3-540-85983-3) "Forest-R.K.: A New Random Forest Induction Method", Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Computing, September 2008, Shanghai, China, pp.430-437.

Estimates the probability of informed trading (PIN) initially introduced by Easley et. al. (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.1540-6261.1996.tb04074.x> . Contribution of the package is that it uses likelihood factorizations of Easley et. al. (2010) <doi:10.1017/S0022109010000074> (EHO factorization) and Lin and Ke (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.finmar.2011.03.001> (LK factorization). Moreover, the package uses different estimation algorithms. Specifically, the grid-search algorithm proposed by Yan and Zhang (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jbankfin.2011.08.003> , hierarchical agglomerative clustering approach proposed by Gan et. al. (2015) <doi:10.1080/14697688.2015.1023336> and later extended by Ersan and Alici (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.intfin.2016.04.001> .

Conduct simulation-based customized power calculation for clustered time to event data in a mixed crossed/nested design, where a number of cell lines and a number of mice within each cell line are considered to achieve a desired statistical power, motivated by Eckel-Passow and colleagues (2021) <doi:10.1093/neuonc/noab137> and Li and colleagues (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.08927>. This package provides two commonly used models for powering a design, linear mixed effects and Cox frailty model. Both models account for within-subject (cell line) correlation while holding different distributional assumptions about the outcome. Alternatively, the counterparts of fixed effects model are also available, which produces similar estimates of statistical power.

SqueezeMeta is a versatile pipeline for the automated analysis of metagenomics/metatranscriptomics data (<https://github.com/jtamames/SqueezeMeta>). This package provides functions loading SqueezeMeta results into R, filtering them based on different criteria, and visualizing the results using basic plots. The SqueezeMeta project (and any subsets of it generated by the different filtering functions) is parsed into a single object, whose different components (e.g. tables with the taxonomic or functional composition across samples, contig/gene abundance profiles) can be easily analyzed using other R packages such as vegan or DESeq2'. The methods in this package are further described in Puente-Sánchez et al., (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12859-020-03703-2>.

Estimates the authors or speakers of texts. Methods developed in Huang, Perry, and Spirling (2020) <doi:10.1017/pan.2019.49>. The model is built on a Bayesian framework in which the distinctiveness of each speaker is defined by how different, on average, the speaker's terms are to everyone else in the corpus of texts. An optional cross-validation method is implemented to select the subset of terms that generate the most accurate speaker predictions. Once a set of terms is selected, the model can be estimated. Speaker distinctiveness and term influence can be recovered from parameters in the model using package functions. Once fitted, the model can be used to predict authorship of new texts.

The purpose of this package is to manipulate SVG files that are templates of charts the user wants to produce. In vector graphics one copes with x-/y-coordinates of elements (e.g. lines, rectangles, text). Their scale is often dependent on the program that is used to produce the graphics. In applied statistics one usually has numeric values on a fixed scale (e.g. percentage values between 0 and 100) to show in a chart. Basically, svgtools transforms the statistical values into coordinates and widths/heights of the vector graphics. This is done by stackedBar() for bar charts, by linesSymbols() for charts with lines and/or symbols (dot markers) and scatterSymbols() for scatterplots.
