Simulates cyclic voltammetry, linear-sweep voltammetry (both with and without stirring of the solution), and single-pulse and double-pulse chronoamperometry and chronocoulometry experiments using the implicit finite difference method outlined in Gosser (1993, ISBN: 9781560810261) and in Brown (2015) <doi:10.1021/acs.jchemed.5b00225>. Additional functions provide ways to display and to examine the results of these simulations. The primary purpose of this package is to provide tools for use in courses in analytical chemistry.

Empirical Bayes thresholding using the methods developed by I. M. Johnstone and B. W. Silverman. The basic problem is to estimate a mean vector given a vector of observations of the mean vector plus white noise, taking advantage of possible sparsity in the mean vector. Within a Bayesian formulation, the elements of the mean vector are modelled as having, independently, a distribution that is a mixture of an atom of probability at zero and a suitable heavy-tailed distribution. The mixing parameter can be estimated by a marginal maximum likelihood approach. This leads to an adaptive thresholding approach on the original data. Extensions of the basic method, in particular to wavelet thresholding, are also implemented within the package.

Framework for building evolutionary algorithms for both single- and multi-objective continuous or discrete optimization problems. A set of predefined evolutionary building blocks and operators is included. Moreover, the user can easily set up custom objective functions, operators, building blocks and representations sticking to few conventions. The package allows both a black-box approach for standard tasks (plug-and-play style) and a much more flexible white-box approach where the evolutionary cycle is written by hand.

This package provides functions to numericise R objects (coerce to numeric objects), summarise MCMC (Monte Carlo Markov Chain) samples and calculate deviance residuals as well as R translations of some BUGS (Bayesian Using Gibbs Sampling), JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler), STAN and TMB (Template Model Builder) functions.

Estimation of fully and partially observed Exponential-Family Random Network Models (ERNM). Exponential-family Random Graph Models (ERGM) and Gibbs Fields are special cases of ERNMs and can also be estimated with the package.

Estimation for high conditional quantiles based on quantile regression.

This package provides a flexible framework for calculating Elo ratings and resulting rankings of any two-team-per-matchup system (chess, sports leagues, Go', etc.). This implementation is capable of evaluating a variety of matchups, Elo rating updates, and win probabilities, all based on the basic Elo rating system. It also includes methods to benchmark performance, including logistic regression and Markov chain models.

This is an R package implementing the epidemic volatility index (EVI), as discussed by Kostoulas et. al. (2021) and variations by Pateras et. al. (2023). EVI is a new, conceptually simple, early warning tool for oncoming epidemic waves. EVI is based on the volatility of newly reported cases per unit of time, ideally per day, and issues an early warning when the volatility change rate exceeds a threshold.

Equating methods include synthetic, nominal weights, Tucker, Levine observed score, Levine true score, Braun/Holland, frequency estimation, and chained equating. Plotting and summary methods, and methods for multivariate presmoothing and bootstrap error estimation are also provided.

Forecasting univariate time series with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) with long short-term memory (LSTM). For method details see Jaiswal, R. et al. (2022). <doi:10.1007/s00521-021-06621-3>.

Researchers often use the bootstrap to understand a sample drawn from a population with unknown distribution. The exact bootstrap method is a practical tool for exploring the distribution of small sample size data. For a sample of size n, the exact bootstrap method generates the entire space of n to the power of n resamples and calculates all realizations of the selected statistic. The exactamente package includes functions for implementing two bootstrap methods, the exact bootstrap and the regular bootstrap. The exact_bootstrap() function applies the exact bootstrap method following methodologies outlined in Kisielinska (2013) <doi:10.1007/s00180-012-0350-0>. The regular_bootstrap() function offers a more traditional bootstrap approach, where users can determine the number of resamples. The e_vs_r() function allows users to directly compare results from these bootstrap methods. To augment user experience, exactamente includes the function exactamente_app() which launches an interactive shiny web application. This application facilitates exploration and comparison of the bootstrap methods, providing options for modifying various parameters and visualizing results.

The experiment selector cross-validated targeted maximum likelihood estimator (ES-CVTMLE) aims to select the experiment that optimizes the bias-variance tradeoff for estimating a causal average treatment effect (ATE) where different experiments may include a randomized controlled trial (RCT) alone or an RCT combined with real-world data. Using cross-validation, the ES-CVTMLE separates the selection of the optimal experiment from the estimation of the ATE for the chosen experiment. The estimated bias term in the selector is a function of the difference in conditional mean outcome under control for the RCT compared to the combined experiment. In order to help include truly unbiased external data in the analysis, the estimated average treatment effect on a negative control outcome may be added to the bias term in the selector. For more details about this method, please see Dang et al. (2022) <arXiv:2210.05802>.

Shiny interfaces and graphical functions for multivariate analysis results exploration.

This package provides functions supporting the reading and parsing of internal e-book content from EPUB files. The epubr package provides functions supporting the reading and parsing of internal e-book content from EPUB files. E-book metadata and text content are parsed separately and joined together in a tidy, nested tibble data frame. E-book formatting is not completely standardized across all literature. It can be challenging to curate parsed e-book content across an arbitrary collection of e-books perfectly and in completely general form, to yield a singular, consistently formatted output. Many EPUB files do not even contain all the same pieces of information in their respective metadata. EPUB file parsing functionality in this package is intended for relatively general application to arbitrary EPUB e-books. However, poorly formatted e-books or e-books with highly uncommon formatting may not work with this package. There may even be cases where an EPUB file has DRM or some other property that makes it impossible to read with epubr'. Text is read as is for the most part. The only nominal changes are minor substitutions, for example curly quotes changed to straight quotes. Substantive changes are expected to be performed subsequently by the user as part of their text analysis. Additional text cleaning can be performed at the user's discretion, such as with functions from packages like tm or qdap'.

This package implements an explicit exploration strategy for evolutionary algorithms in order to have a more effective search in solving optimization problems. Along with this exploration search strategy, a set of four different Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are also implemented for solving optimization problems in continuous domains. The implemented explicit exploration strategy in this package is described in Salinas-Gutiérrez and Muñoz Zavala (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.asoc.2023.110230>.
