Discrete event simulation (DES) involves modeling of systems having discrete, i.e. abrupt, state changes. For instance, when a job arrives to a queue, the queue length abruptly increases by 1. This package is an R implementation of the event-oriented approach to DES; see the tutorial in Matloff (2008) <http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/156/PLN/DESimIntro.pdf>.

This package provides functions for demographic analysis including lifetable calculations; Lee-Carter modelling; functional data analysis of mortality rates, fertility rates, net migration numbers; and stochastic population forecasting.

This package implements the deflist class, a read-only list-like object that accesses its elements via a function. The deflist class can be used to model deferred access to data or computations by routing indexed list access to a function. This approach is particularly useful when sequential list-like access to data is required but holding all the data in memory at once is not feasible. The package also provides utilities for memoisation and caching to optimize access to frequently requested elements.

Fit latent variable linear models, estimating score distributions for groups of people, following Cohen and Jiang (1999) <doi:10.2307/2669917>. In this model, a latent distribution is conditional on students item response, item characteristics, and conditioning variables the user includes. This latent trait is then integrated out. This software is intended to fit the same models as the existing software AM <https://am.air.org/>. As of version 2, also allows the user to draw plausible values.

Creating, and refining data nuggets. Data nuggets reduce a large dataset into a small collection of nuggets of data, each containing a center (location), weight (importance), and scale (variability) parameter. Data nugget centers are created by choosing observations in the dataset which are as equally spaced apart as possible. Data nugget weights are created by counting the number observations closest to a given data nugget center. We then say the data nugget contains these observations and the data nugget center is recalculated as the mean of these observations. Data nugget scales are created by calculating the trace of the covariance matrix of the observations contained within a data nugget divided by the dimension of the dataset. Data nuggets are refined by splitting data nuggets which have scales or shapes (defined as the ratio of the two largest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of the observations contained within the data nugget) Reference paper: [1] Beavers, T.

Define a spatial Area of Interest (AOI) around a constructed dam using hydrology data. Dams have environmental and social impacts, both positive and negative. Current analyses of dams have no consistent way to specify at what spatial extent we should evaluate these impacts. damAOI implements methods to adjust reservoir polygons to match satellite-observed surface water areas, plot upstream and downstream rivers using elevation data and accumulated river flow, and draw buffers clipped by river basins around reservoirs and relevant rivers. This helps to consistently determine the areas which could be impacted by dam construction, facilitating comparative analysis and informed infrastructure investments.

This package provides tools to sort DICOM-format medical image files, and convert them to NIfTI-1 format.

This package provides a set of algorithms based on Quinn et al. (1991) <doi:10.1002/hyp.3360050106> for processing river network and digital elevation data to build implementations of Dynamic TOPMODEL, a semi-distributed hydrological model proposed in Beven and Freer (2001) <doi:10.1002/hyp.252>. The dynatop package implements simulation code for Dynamic TOPMODEL based on the output of dynatopGIS'.

The DoseFinding package provides functions for the design and analysis of dose-finding experiments (with focus on pharmaceutical Phase II clinical trials). It provides functions for: multiple contrast tests, fitting non-linear dose-response models (using Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimation), calculating optimal designs and an implementation of the MCPMod methodology (Pinheiro et al.

Use numerical optimization to fit ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to time series data to examine the dynamic relationships between variables or the characteristics of a dynamical system. It can now be used to estimate the parameters of ODEs up to second order, and can also apply to multilevel systems. See <https://github.com/yueqinhu/defit> for details.

Researchers carried out a series of experiments passing a number of essays to different GPT detection models. Juxtaposing detector predictions for papers written by native and non-native English writers, the authors argue that GPT detectors disproportionately classify real writing from non-native English writers as AI-generated.

Collection of functions to help retrieve U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency water quality and hydrology data from web services.

This package provides tools for converting and imputing date values to the ISO 8601 standard format and for reconciling differences between two versions of a data set. The package automatically detects date patterns within data frame columns and converts them to consistent ISO-formatted dates, with optional imputation of missing day or month components based on user-defined rules. It also includes functionality to identify inserted, deleted, and updated records, as well as column- and value-level changes, when comparing old and new versions of a data frame. Only one date format may be applied within a single column.

This innovative approach allows users to uncover the importance of nodes based on a customized perspective, making it particularly useful in fields like bioinformatics, social network analysis, and more.

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.
