In the context of high-throughput genetic data, CoDaCoRe identifies a set of sparse biomarkers that are predictive of a response variable of interest (Gordon-Rodriguez et al., 2021) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab645>. More generally, CoDaCoRe can be applied to any regression problem where the independent variable is Compositional (CoDa), to derive a set of scale-invariant log-ratios (ILR or SLR) that are maximally associated to a dependent variable.

This package provides tools for interpretable conditional forecasting and scenario analysis in reduced-form vector autoregressive (VAR) models. Implements a Kalman smoothing framework to generate forecasts under path restrictions on selected variables. The package enables decomposition of conditional forecasts into variable-specific contributions, and extraction of observation weights. It also computes measures of overall and marginal variable importance to enhance the economic interpretation of forecast revisions. The framework is structurally agnostic and suited for policy analysis, stress testing, and macro-financial applications. The methodology is described in more detail in Caspi and Ginker (2026) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.25225.51040>.

The phenology of plants (i.e. the timing of their annual life phases) depends on climatic cues. For temperate trees and many other plants, spring phases, such as leaf emergence and flowering, have been found to result from the effects of both cool (chilling) conditions and heat. Fruit tree scientists (pomologists) have developed some metrics to quantify chilling and heat (e.g. see Luedeling (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.scienta.2012.07.011>). chillR contains functions for processing temperature records into chilling (Chilling Hours, Utah Chill Units and Chill Portions) and heat units (Growing Degree Hours). Regarding chilling metrics, Chill Portions are often considered the most promising, but they are difficult to calculate. This package makes it easy. chillR also contains procedures for conducting a PLS analysis relating phenological dates (e.g. bloom dates) to either mean temperatures or mean chill and heat accumulation rates, based on long-term weather and phenology records (Luedeling and Gassner (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2011.10.020>). As of version 0.65, it also includes functions for generating weather scenarios with a weather generator, for conducting climate change analyses for temperature-based climatic metrics and for plotting results from such analyses. Since version 0.70, chillR contains a function for interpolating hourly temperature records.

As a chronomètre is a stopwatch', this package offers a simple stopwatch, and in particular one that can be shared with Python (using the corresponding package of the same name available via PyPi') such that both interpreters operate on the same object instance and shown in the demo file, as well as in the unit tests.

This package provides a specialized tool is designed for assessing contextual bandit algorithms, particularly those aimed at handling overdispersed and zero-inflated count data. It offers a simulated testing environment that includes various models like Poisson, Overdispersed Poisson, Zero-inflated Poisson, and Zero-inflated Overdispersed Poisson. The package is capable of executing five specific algorithms: Linear Thompson sampling with log transformation on the outcome, Thompson sampling Poisson, Thompson sampling Negative Binomial, Thompson sampling Zero-inflated Poisson, and Thompson sampling Zero-inflated Negative Binomial. Additionally, it can generate regret plots to evaluate the performance of contextual bandit algorithms. This package is based on the algorithms by Liu et al. (2023) <arXiv:2311.14359>.

Graphically display the (causal) effect of a continuous variable on a time-to-event outcome using multiple different types of plots based on g-computation. Those functions include, among others, survival area plots, survival contour plots, survival quantile plots and 3D surface plots. Due to the use of g-computation, all plot allow confounder-adjustment naturally. For details, see Robin Denz, Nina Timmesfeld (2023) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001630>.

Circumplex models, which organize constructs in a circle around two underlying dimensions, are popular for studying interpersonal functioning, mood/affect, and vocational preferences/environments. This package provides tools for analyzing and visualizing circular data, including scoring functions for relevant instruments and a generalization of the bootstrapped structural summary method from Zimmermann & Wright (2017) <doi:10.1177/1073191115621795> and functions for creating publication-ready tables and figures from the results.

Sequential and batch change detection for univariate data streams, using the change point model framework. Functions are provided to allow nonparametric distribution-free change detection in the mean, variance, or general distribution of a given sequence of observations. Parametric change detection methods are also provided for Gaussian, Bernoulli and Exponential sequences. Both the batch (Phase I) and sequential (Phase II) settings are supported, and the sequences may contain either a single or multiple change points. A full description of this package is available in Ross, G.J (2015) - "Parametric and nonparametric sequential change detection in R" available at <https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v066i03>.

One of the strengths of R is its vast package ecosystem. Indeed, R packages extend from visualization to Bayesian inference and from spatial analyses to pharmacokinetics (<https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/>). There is probably not an area of quantitative research that isn't represented by at least one R package. At the time of this writing, there are more than 10,000 active CRAN packages. Because of this massive ecosystem, it is important to have tools to search and learn about packages related to your personal R needs. For this reason, we developed an RStudio addin capable of searching available CRAN packages directly within RStudio.
