The disparity filter algorithm is a network reduction technique to identify the backbone structure of a weighted network without destroying its multi-scale nature. The algorithm is documented in M. Angeles Serrano, Marian Boguna and Alessandro Vespignani in "Extracting the multiscale backbone of complex weighted networks", Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 106 (16), 2009. This implementation of the algorithm supports both directed and undirected networks.

This package provides a simple approach to measure political sophistication based on open-ended survey responses. Discursive sophistication captures the complexity of individual attitude expression by quantifying its relative size, range, and constraint. For more information on the measurement approach see: Kraft, Patrick W. 2023. "Women Also Know Stuff: Challenging the Gender Gap in Political Sophistication." American Political Science Review (forthcoming).

This package provides a tool to sample data with the desired properties.Samples can be drawn by purposive sampling with determining distributional conditions, such as deviation from normality (skewness and kurtosis), and sample size in quantitative research studies. For purposive sampling, a researcher has something in mind and participants that fit the purpose of the study are included (Etikan,Musa, & Alkassim, 2015) <doi:10.11648/j.ajtas.20160501.11>.Purposive sampling can be useful for answering many research questions (Klar & Leeper, 2019) <doi:10.1002/9781119083771.ch21>.

Compares distributions with one another in terms of their fit to each sample in a dataset that contains multiple samples, as described in Joo, Aguinis, and Bradley (in press). Users can examine the fit of seven distributions per sample: pure power law, lognormal, exponential, power law with an exponential cutoff, normal, Poisson, and Weibull. Automation features allow the user to compare all distributions for all samples with a single command line, which creates a separate row containing results for each sample until the entire dataset has been analyzed.

Decodes meshes and point cloud data encoded by the Draco mesh compression library from Google. Note that this is only designed for basic decoding and not intended as a full scale wrapping of the Draco library.

Analyzes group patterns using discourse analysis data with graph theory mathematics. Takes the order of which individuals talk and converts it to a network edge and weight list. Returns the density, centrality, centralization, and subgroup information for each group. Based on the analytical framework laid out in Chai et al. (2019) <doi:10.1187/cbe.18-11-0222>.

Implementation of new discrete statistical distributions. Each distribution includes the traditional functions as well as an additional function called the family function, which can be used to estimate parameters within the gamlss framework.

Double constrained correspondence analysis (dc-CA) analyzes (multi-)trait (multi-)environment ecological data by using the vegan package and native R code. Throughout the two step algorithm of ter Braak et al. (2018) is used. This algorithm combines and extends community- (sample-) and species-level analyses, i.e. the usual community weighted means (CWM)-based regression analysis and the species-level analysis of species-niche centroids (SNC)-based regression analysis. The two steps use canonical correspondence analysis to regress the abundance data on to the traits and (weighted) redundancy analysis to regress the CWM of the orthonormalized traits on to the environmental predictors. The function dc_CA() has an option to divide the abundance data of a site by the site total, giving equal site weights. This division has the advantage that the multivariate analysis corresponds with an unweighted (multi-trait) community-level analysis, instead of being weighted. The first step of the algorithm uses vegan::cca(). The second step uses wrda() but vegan::rda() if the site weights are equal. This version has a predict() function. For details see ter Braak et al. 2018 <doi:10.1007/s10651-017-0395-x>. and ter Braak & van Rossum 2025 <doi:10.1016/j.ecoinf.2025.103143>.

This package provides tools for working with multiple related tables, stored as data frames or in a relational database. Multiple tables (data and metadata) are stored in a compound object, which can then be manipulated with a pipe-friendly syntax.

Fit and explore Drift Diffusion Models (DDMs), a common tool in psychology for describing decision processes in simple tasks. It can handle both time-independent and time-dependent DDMs. You either choose prebuilt models or create your own, and the package takes care of model predictions and parameter estimation. Model predictions are derived via the numerical solutions provided by Richter, Ulrich, and Janczyk (2023, <doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2023.102756>).

This package implements double hierarchical generalized linear models in which the mean, dispersion parameters for variance of random effects, and residual variance (overdispersion) can be further modeled as random-effect models.

This package creates discretised versions of continuous distribution functions by mapping continuous values to an underlying discrete grid, based on a (uniform) frequency of discretisation, a valid discretisation point, and an integration range. For a review of discretisation methods, see Chakraborty (2015) <doi:10.1186/s40488-015-0028-6>.

Generate reports that enable quick visual review of temporal shifts in record-level data. Time series plots showing aggregated values are automatically created for each data field (column) depending on its contents (e.g. min/max/mean values for numeric data, no. of distinct values for categorical data), as well as overviews for missing values, non-conformant values, and duplicated rows. The resulting reports are shareable and can contribute to forming a transparent record of the entire analysis process. It is designed with Electronic Health Records in mind, but can be used for any type of record-level temporal data (i.e. tabular data where each row represents a single "event", one column contains the "event date", and other columns contain any associated values for the event).

Density ratio estimation. The estimated density ratio function can be used in many applications such as anomaly detection, change-point detection, covariate shift adaptation. The implemented methods are uLSIF (Hido et al. (2011) <doi:10.1007/s10115-010-0283-2>), RuLSIF (Yamada et al. (2011) <doi:10.1162/NECO_a_00442>), and KLIEP (Sugiyama et al. (2007) <doi:10.1007/s10463-008-0197-x>).
