Dynamic CUR (dCUR) boosts the CUR decomposition (Mahoney MW., Drineas P. (2009) <doi:10.1073/pnas.0803205106>) varying the k, the number of columns and rows used, and its final purposes to help find the stage, which minimizes the relative error to reduce matrix dimension. The goal of CUR Decomposition is to give a better interpretation of the matrix decomposition employing proper variable selection in the data matrix, in a way that yields a simplified structure. Its origins come from analysis in genetics. The goal of this package is to show an alternative to variable selection (columns) or individuals (rows). The idea proposed consists of adjusting the probability distributions to the leverage scores and selecting the best columns and rows that minimize the reconstruction error of the matrix approximation ||A-CUR||. It also includes a method that recalibrates the relative importance of the leverage scores according to an external variable of the user's interest.

Implementation of selected Tidyverse functions within DataSHIELD', an open-source federated analysis solution in R. Currently, DataSHIELD contains very limited tools for data manipulation, so the aim of this package is to improve the researcher experience by implementing essential functions for data manipulation, including subsetting, filtering, grouping, and renaming variables. This is the clientside package which should be installed locally, and is used in conjuncture with the serverside package dsTidyverse which is installed on the remote server holding the data. For more information, see <https://tidyverse.org/> and <https://datashield.org/>.

An open, multi-algorithmic pipeline for easy, fast and efficient analysis of cellular sub-populations and the molecular signatures that characterize them. The pipeline consists of four successive steps: data pre-processing, cellular clustering with pseudo-temporal ordering, defining differential expressed genes and biomarker identification. More details on Ghannoum et. al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijms22031399>. This package implements extensions of the work published by Ghannoum et. al. (2019) <doi:10.1101/700989>.

Develop and evaluate treatment rules based on: (1) the standard indirect approach of split-regression, which fits regressions separately in both treatment groups and assigns an individual to the treatment option under which predicted outcome is more desirable; (2) the direct approach of outcome-weighted-learning proposed by Yingqi Zhao, Donglin Zeng, A. John Rush, and Michael Kosorok (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.695674>; (3) the direct approach, which we refer to as direct-interactions, proposed by Shuai Chen, Lu Tian, Tianxi Cai, and Menggang Yu (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12676>. Please see the vignette for a walk-through of how to start with an observational dataset whose design is understood scientifically and end up with a treatment rule that is trustworthy statistically, along with an estimation of rule benefit in an independent sample.

Detection and attribution of climate change using methods including optimal fingerprinting via generalized total least squares or an estimating equation approach (Li et al., 2025, <doi:10.1175/JCLI-D-24-0193.1>; Ma et al., 2023, <doi:10.1175/JCLI-D-22-0681.1>).

Functions, methods, and datasets for fitting dimension reduction regression, using slicing (methods SAVE and SIR), Principal Hessian Directions (phd, using residuals and the response), and an iterative IRE. Partial methods, that condition on categorical predictors are also available. A variety of tests, and stepwise deletion of predictors, is also included. Also included is code for computing permutation tests of dimension. Adding additional methods of estimating dimension is straightforward. For documentation, see the vignette in the package. With version 3.0.4, the arguments for dr.step have been modified.

Kevin Dowd's book Measuring Market Risk is a widely read book in the area of risk measurement by students and practitioners alike. As he claims, MATLAB indeed might have been the most suitable language when he originally wrote the functions, but, with growing popularity of R it is not entirely valid. As Dowd's code was not intended to be error free and were mainly for reference, some functions in this package have inherited those errors. An attempt will be made in future releases to identify and correct them. Dowd's original code can be downloaded from www.kevindowd.org/measuring-market-risk/. It should be noted that Dowd offers both MMR2 and MMR1 toolboxes. Only MMR2 was ported to R. MMR2 is more recent version of MMR1 toolbox and they both have mostly similar function. The toolbox mainly contains different parametric and non parametric methods for measurement of market risk as well as backtesting risk measurement methods.

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 for computing the density, distribution, and random generation of the Decision Diffusion model (DDM), a widely used cognitive model for analysing choice and response time data. The package allows model specification, including the ability to fix, constrain, or vary parameters across experimental conditions. While it does not include a built-in optimiser, it supports likelihood evaluation and can be integrated with external tools for parameter estimation. Functions for simulating synthetic datasets are also provided. This package is intended for researchers modelling speeded decision-making in behavioural and cognitive experiments. For more information, see Voss, Rothermund, and Voss (2004) <doi:10.3758/BF03196893>, Voss and Voss (2007) <doi:10.3758/BF03192967>, and Ratcliff and McKoon (2008) <doi:10.1162/neco.2008.12-06-420>.

Base DataSHIELD functions for the server side. DataSHIELD is a software package which allows you to do non-disclosive federated analysis on sensitive data.

With data sites setting the threshold values for the automated output checks. For more details, see citation("dsBase")'.

This package provides a comprehensive set of wrapper functions for the analysis of multiplex metabarcode data. It includes robust wrappers for Cutadapt and DADA2 to trim primers, filter reads, perform amplicon sequence variant (ASV) inference, and assign taxonomy. The package can handle single metabarcode datasets, datasets with two pooled metabarcodes, or multiple datasets simultaneously. The final output is a matrix per metabarcode, containing both ASV abundance data and associated taxonomic assignments. An optional function converts these matrices into phyloseq and taxmap objects. For more information on DADA2', including information on how DADA2 infers samples sequences, see Callahan et al. (2016) <doi:10.1038/nmeth.3869>.

Implementations of several multiple testing procedures that control the family-wise error rate (FWER) designed specifically for discrete tests. Included are discrete adaptations of the Bonferroni, Holm, Hochberg and Å idák procedures as described in the papers Döhler (2010) "Validation of credit default probabilities using multiple-testing procedures" <doi:10.21314/JRMV.2010.062> and Zhu & Guo (2019) "Family-Wise Error Rate Controlling Procedures for Discrete Data" <doi:10.1080/19466315.2019.1654912>. The main procedures of this package take as input the results of a test procedure from package DiscreteTests or a set of observed p-values and their discrete support under their nulls. A shortcut function to apply discrete procedures directly to data is also provided.
