On import, the XML information is converted to a dataframe that reflects the hierarchical XML structure. Intuitive functions allow to navigate within this transparent XML data structure (without any knowledge of XPath'). flatXML also provides tools to extract data from the XML into a flat dataframe that can be used to perform statistical operations. It also supports converting dataframes to XML.

This package implements shape-based clustering algorithms for multidimensional longitudinal data based on the Fréchet distance. It implements two main methods: MFKmL (Multidimensional Fréchet distance-based K-means for Longitudinal data), an extension of the K-means algorithm using the Fréchet distance originally developed in the kmlShape package, adapted for multidimensional trajectories; and SFKmL (Sparse multidimensional Fréchet distance-based K-medoids for Longitudinal data), a K-medoids-based clustering algorithm that incorporates variable selection. These tools are designed to enhance clustering performance in high-dimensional longitudinal data settings, particularly those with time delays, variations in trajectory speed, irregular sampling intervals, and noise. This package implements methods derived from Kang et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10237-z>.

Efficiently implementing two complementary methodologies for discovering motifs in functional data: ProbKMA and FunBIalign. Cremona and Chiaromonte (2023) "Probabilistic K-means with Local Alignment for Clustering and Motif Discovery in Functional Data" <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2156522> is a probabilistic K-means algorithm that leverages local alignment and fuzzy clustering to identify recurring patterns (candidate functional motifs) across and within curves, allowing different portions of the same curve to belong to different clusters. It includes a family of distances and a normalization to discover various motif types and learns motif lengths in a data-driven manner. It can also be used for local clustering of misaligned data. Di Iorio, Cremona, and Chiaromonte (2023) "funBIalign: A Hierarchical Algorithm for Functional Motif Discovery Based on Mean Squared Residue Scores" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.04254> applies hierarchical agglomerative clustering with a functional generalization of the Mean Squared Residue Score to identify motifs of a specified length in curves. This deterministic method includes a small set of user-tunable parameters. Both algorithms are suitable for single curves or sets of curves. The package also includes a flexible function to simulate functional data with embedded motifs, allowing users to generate benchmark datasets for validating and comparing motif discovery methods.

Simulates age-at-onset traits associated with a segregating major gene in family data obtained from population-based, clinic-based, or multi-stage designs. Appropriate ascertainment correction is utilized to estimate age-dependent penetrance functions either parametrically from the fitted model or nonparametrically from the data. The Expectation and Maximization algorithm can infer missing genotypes and carrier probabilities estimated from family's genotype and phenotype information or from a fitted model. Plot functions include pedigrees of simulated families and predicted penetrance curves based on specified parameter values. For more information see Choi, Y.-H., Briollais, L., He, W. and Kopciuk, K.

This package provides a collection of user-friendly functions for assessing and visualizing fragility of individual studies (Walsh et al., 2014 <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2013.10.019>; Lin, 2021 <doi:10.1111/jep.13428>), conventional pairwise meta-analyses (Atal et al., 2019 <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2019.03.012>), and network meta-analyses of multiple treatments with binary outcomes (Xing et al., 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2020.07.003>). The included functions are designed to: 1) calculate the fragility index (i.e., the minimal event status modifications that can alter the significance or non-significance of the original result) and fragility quotient (i.e., fragility index divided by sample size) at a specific significance level; 2) give the cases of event status modifications for altering the result's significance or non-significance and visualize these cases; 3) visualize the trend of statistical significance as event status is modified; 4) efficiently derive fragility indexes and fragility quotients at multiple significance levels, and visualize the relationship between these fragility measures against the significance levels; and 5) calculate fragility indexes and fragility quotients of multiple datasets (e.g., a collection of clinical trials or meta-analyses) and produce plots of their overall distributions. The outputs from these functions may inform the robustness of clinical results in terms of statistical significance and aid the interpretation of fragility measures. The usage of this package is illustrated in Lin et al. (2023 <doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2022.08.053>) and detailed in Lin and Chu (2022 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0268754>).

Routines for forecasting univariate time series using Theta Models.

Fit growth models to otoliths and/or tagging data, using the RTMB package and maximum likelihood. The otoliths (or similar measurements of age) provide direct observed coordinates of age and length. The tagging data provide information about the observed length at release and length at recapture at a later time, where the age at release is unknown and estimated as a vector of parameters. The growth models provided by this package can be fitted to otoliths only, tagging data only, or a combination of the two. Growth variability can be modelled as constant or increasing with length.
