Researchers working with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) can use the package to estimate power of a sufficient term using permutation tests. A term can be anything: A condition, conjunction or disjunction of any combination of these. The package further allows users to plot the estimation results and to estimate the number of cases required to achieve a certain level of power, given a prespecified null and alternative hypothesis. Reference for the article introducing power estimation for QCA is: Rohlfing, Ingo (2018) <doi:10.1017/pan.2017.30> (ungated version: <doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/PC4DF>).
It allows to rapidly compute, bootstrap and plot up to fourth-order Sobol'-based sensitivity indices using several state-of-the-art first and total-order estimators. Sobol indices can be computed either for models that yield a scalar as a model output or for systems of differential equations. The package also provides a suit of benchmark tests functions and several options to obtain publication-ready figures of the model output uncertainty and sensitivity-related analysis. An overview of the package can be found in Puy et al. (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i05>.
Dual interfaces, graphical and programmatic, designed for intuitive applications of Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP). Users can apply the method to a variety of datasets, from electronic health records to sample survey data, through an end-to-end Bayesian data analysis workflow. The package provides robust tools for data cleaning, exploratory analysis, flexible model building, and insightful result visualization. For more details, see Si et al. (2020) <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/12-001-x/2020002/article/00003-eng.pdf?st=iF1_Fbrh> and Si (2025) <doi:10.1214/24-STS932>.
This package provides a user-friendly R shiny app for performing various statistical tests on datasets. It allows users to upload data in numerous formats and perform statistical analyses. The app dynamically adapts its options based on the selected columns and supports both single and multiple column comparisons. The app's user interface is designed to streamline the process of selecting datasets, columns, and test options, making it easy for users to explore and interpret their data. The underlying functions for statistical tests are well-organized and can be used independently within other R scripts.
This package AMARETTO represents an algorithm that integrates copy number, DNA methylation and gene expression data to identify a set of driver genes by analyzing cancer samples and connects them to clusters of co-expressed genes, which we define as modules. AMARETTO can be applied in a pancancer setting to identify cancer driver genes and their modules on multiple cancer sites. AMARETTO captures modules enriched in angiogenesis, cell cycle and EMT, and modules that accurately predict survival and molecular subtypes. This allows AMARETTO to identify novel cancer driver genes directing canonical cancer pathways.

Color and visualize wildlife distributions in space-time using raster data. In addition to enabling display of sequential change in distributions through the use of small multiples, colorist provides functions for extracting several features of interest from a sequence of distributions and for visualizing those features using HCL (hue-chroma-luminance) color palettes. Resulting maps allow for "fair" visual comparison of intensity values (e.g., occurrence, abundance, or density) across space and time and can be used to address questions about where, when, and how consistently a species, group, or individual is likely to be found.
This package provides a zero dependency package containing functions to declare labels and missing values, coupled with associated functions to create (weighted) tables of frequencies and various other summary measures. Some of the base functions have been rewritten to make use of the specific information about the missing values, most importantly to distinguish between empty and declared NA values. Some functions have similar functionality with the corresponding ones from packages "haven" and "labelled". The aim is to ensure as much compatibility as possible with these packages, while offering an alternative in the objects of class "declared".
This package implements distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA) as described in Cookson et al. (2020, ISBN:9780198838197) and the methods endorsed by NICE (2025) for health technology evaluation. Provides functions for both aggregate and full-form DCEA, inequality measurement (Atkinson index, Gini coefficient, slope index of inequality, relative index of inequality), social welfare function evaluation, equity-efficiency impact plane visualisation, and sensitivity analysis over inequality aversion parameters. Includes baseline health distributions for England (by IMD quintile), Canada (income quintile), and global WHO regions. Suitable for academic research, health technology assessment submissions, and public health policy analysis.
Enables the construction of flexible urban delineations that can be tailored to specific applications or research questions, see Van Migerode et al. (2024) <DOI:10.1177/23998083241262545> and Van Migerode et al. (2025) <DOI:10.5281/zenodo.15173220>. Originally developed to flexibly reconstruct the Degree of Urbanisation classification of cities, towns and rural areas developed by Dijkstra et al. (2021) <DOI:10.1016/j.jue.2020.103312>. Now it also support a broader range of delineation approaches, using multiple datasets â including population, built-up area, and night-time light grids â and different thresholding methods.
This package implements methods for centrality related analyses of networks. While the package includes the possibility to build more than 20 indices, its main focus lies on index-free assessment of centrality via partial rankings obtained by neighborhood-inclusion or positional dominance. These partial rankings can be analyzed with different methods, including probabilistic methods like computing expected node ranks and relative rank probabilities (how likely is it that a node is more central than another?). The methodology is described in depth in the vignettes and in Schoch (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2017.12.003>.
This package performs exhaustive or groupwise (backward elimination) variable selection for binary outcome prediction models using cross-validated Net Benefit as the optimization criterion. It supports predictor costs, restricted cubic splines, interaction terms, permutation importance, and parallel computation. It includes visualizations for model comparison and variable importance. References include Vickers AJ & Elkin EB (2006) <doi:10.1177/0272989X06295361>, Van Calster B et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.eururo.2018.08.038>, Vickers AJ et al.

Genomic alterations including single nucleotide substitution, copy number alteration, etc. are the major force for cancer initialization and development. Due to the specificity of molecular lesions caused by genomic alterations, we can generate characteristic alteration spectra, called signature (Wang, Shixiang, et al. (2021) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pgen.1009557> & Alexandrov, Ludmil B., et al. (2020) <DOI:10.1038/s41586-020-1943-3> & Steele Christopher D., et al. (2022) <DOI:10.1038/s41586-022-04738-6>). This package helps users to extract, analyze and visualize signatures from genomic alteration records, thus providing new insight into cancer study.
Stratigraphic ranges of fossil marine animal genera from Sepkoski's (2002) published compendium. No changes have been made to any taxonomic names. However, first and last appearance intervals have been updated to be consistent with stages of the International Geological Timescale. Functionality for generating a plot of Sepkoski's evolutionary fauna is also included. For specific details on the compendium see: Sepkoski, J. J. (2002). A compendium of fossil marine animal genera. Bulletins of American Paleontology, 363, pp. 1â 560 (ISBN 0-87710-450-6). Access: <https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/40634#page/5/mode/1up>.
This is an interface for the Python package StepMix'. It is a Python package following the scikit-learn API for model-based clustering and generalized mixture modeling (latent class/profile analysis) of continuous and categorical data. StepMix handles missing values through Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) and provides multiple stepwise Expectation-Maximization (EM) estimation methods based on pseudolikelihood theory. Additional features include support for covariates and distal outcomes, various simulation utilities, and non-parametric bootstrapping, which allows inference in semi-supervised and unsupervised settings. Software paper available at <doi:10.18637/jss.v113.i08>.
This package implements a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method for estimation and prediction of Gaussian process-based spatially varying coefficient (SVC) models (Dambon et al. (2021a) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2020.100470>). Covariance tapering (Furrer et al. (2006) <doi:10.1198/106186006X132178>) can be applied such that the method scales to large data. Further, it implements a joint variable selection of the fixed and random effects (Dambon et al. (2021b) <doi:10.1080/13658816.2022.2097684>). The package and its capabilities are described in (Dambon et al. (2021c) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2106.02364>).
This package implements time series clustering along with optimized techniques related to the dynamic time warping distance and its corresponding lower bounds. The implementations of partitional, hierarchical, fuzzy, k-Shape and TADPole clustering are available. Functionality can be easily extended with custom distance measures and centroid definitions. Implementations of DTW barycenter averaging, a distance based on global alignment kernels, and the soft-DTW distance and centroid routines are also provided. All included distance functions have custom loops optimized for the calculation of cross-distance matrices, including parallelization support. Several cluster validity indices are included.
This package provides a statistical tool to inference the multi-level partial correlations based on multi-subject time series data, especially for brain functional connectivity. It combines both individual and population level inference by using the methods of Qiu and Zhou. (2021)<DOI: 10.1080/01621459.2021.1917417> and Genovese and Wasserman. (2006)<DOI: 10.1198/016214506000000339>. It realizes two reliable estimation methods of partial correlation coefficients, using scaled lasso and lasso. It can be used to estimate individual- or population-level partial correlations, identify nonzero ones, and find out unequal partial correlation coefficients between two populations.
This package provides methods for working with nominal dates, times, and durations. Base R has sophisticated facilities for handling time, but these can give unexpected results if, for example, timezone is not handled properly. This package provides a more casual approach to support cases which do not require rigorous treatment. It systematically deconstructs the concepts origin and timezone, and de-emphasizes the display of seconds. It also converts among nominal durations such as seconds, hours, days, and weeks. See ?datetime and ?duration for examples. Adapted from metrumrg <http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1215>.
Attacks fitted R model claims by searching for small plausible perturbations that make a target result disappear. The package focuses on claim-level fragility, smallest-kill reporting, and reproducible caveated robustness checks for ordinary fitted model objects. The methods draw on the fragility-index concept of Walsh et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2013.10.019>, multiverse analysis of Steegen et al. (2016) <doi:10.1177/1745691616658637>, specification-curve analysis of Simonsohn et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41562-020-0912-z>, and robust covariance estimation of Zeileis (2004) <doi:10.18637/jss.v011.i10>.
Two Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix ('GLCM') implementations are included: The first is a fast GLCM feature texture computation based on Python Numpy arrays ('Github Repository, <https://github.com/tzm030329/GLCM>). The second is a fast GLCM RcppArmadillo implementation which is parallelized (using OpenMP') with the option to return all GLCM features at once. For more information, see "Artifact-Free Thin Cloud Removal Using Gans" by Toizumi Takahiro, Zini Simone, Sagi Kazutoshi, Kaneko Eiji, Tsukada Masato, Schettini Raimondo (2019), IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), pp. 3596-3600, <doi:10.1109/ICIP.2019.8803652>.
Aligns peak based on peak retention times and matches homologous peaks across samples. The underlying alignment procedure comprises three sequential steps. (1) Full alignment of samples by linear transformation of retention times to maximise similarity among homologous peaks (2) Partial alignment of peaks within a user-defined retention time window to cluster homologous peaks (3) Merging rows that are likely representing homologous substances (i.e. no sample shows peaks in both rows and the rows have similar retention time means). The algorithm is described in detail in Ottensmann et al., 2018 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0198311>.
Routines for two different test types, the Constant Conditional Correlation (CCC) test and the Vectorial Independence (VI) test are provided (Kurz and Spanhel (2022) <doi:10.1214/22-EJS2051>). The tests can be applied to check whether a conditional copula coincides with its partial copula. Functions to test whether a regular vine copula satisfies the so-called simplifying assumption or to test a single copula within a regular vine copula to be a (j-1)-th order partial copula are available. The CCC test comes with a decision tree approach to allow testing in high-dimensional settings.
InferCNV is used to explore tumor single cell RNA-Seq data to identify evidence for somatic large-scale chromosomal copy number alterations, such as gains or deletions of entire chromosomes or large segments of chromosomes. This is done by exploring expression intensity of genes across positions of a tumor genome in comparison to a set of reference "normal" cells. A heatmap is generated illustrating the relative expression intensities across each chromosome, and it often becomes readily apparent as to which regions of the tumor genome are over-abundant or less-abundant as compared to that of normal cells.
