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.

The recovery of visual sensitivity in a dark environment is known as dark adaptation. In a clinical or research setting the recovery is typically measured after a dazzling flash of light and can be described by the Mahroo, Lamb and Pugh (MLP) model of dark adaptation. The functions in this package take dark adaptation data and use nonlinear regression to find the parameters of the model that best describe the data. They do this by firstly, generating rapid initial objective estimates of data adaptation parameters, then a multi-start algorithm is used to reduce the possibility of a local minimum. There is also a bootstrap method to calculate parameter confidence intervals. The functions rely upon a dark list or object. This object is created as the first step in the workflow and parts of the object are updated as it is processed.

Providing six different algorithms that can be used to split the available data into training, test and validation subsets with similar distribution for hydrological model developments. The dataSplit() function will help you divide the data according to specific requirements, and you can refer to the par.default() function to set the parameters for data splitting. The getAUC() function will help you measure the similarity of distribution features between the data subsets. For more information about the data splitting algorithms, please refer to: Chen et al. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2022.128340>, Zheng et al. (2022) <doi:10.1029/2021WR031818>.

Duplicated data can exist in different rows and columns and user may need to treat observations (rows) connected by duplicated data as one observation, e.g. companies can belong to one family (and thus: be one company) by sharing some telephone numbers. This package allows to find connected rows based on data on chosen columns and collapse it into one row.

This package provides a distance density clustering (DDC) algorithm in R. DDC uses dynamic time warping (DTW) to compute a similarity matrix, based on which cluster centers and cluster assignments are found. DDC inherits dynamic time warping (DTW) arguments and constraints. The cluster centers are centroid points that are calculated using the DTW Barycenter Averaging (DBA) algorithm. The clustering process is divisive. At each iteration, cluster centers are updated and data is reassigned to cluster centers. Early stopping is possible. The output includes cluster centers and clustering assignment, as described in the paper (Ma et al (2017) <doi:10.1109/ICDMW.2017.11>).

This package provides R-implementation of Decision forest algorithm, which combines the predictions of multiple independent decision tree models for a consensus decision. In particular, Decision Forest is a novel pattern-recognition method which can be used to analyze: (1) DNA microarray data; (2) Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) data; and (3) Structure-Activity Relation (SAR) data. In this package, three fundamental functions are provided, as (1)DF_train, (2)DF_pred, and (3)DF_CV. run Dforest() to see more instructions. Weida Tong (2003) <doi:10.1021/ci020058s>.

Data cloud geometry (DCG) applies random walks in finding community structures for social networks. Fushing, VanderWaal, McCowan, & Koehl (2013) (<doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0056259>).

Doubly censored data, as described in Chang and Yang (1987) <doi: 10.1214/aos/1176350608>), are commonly seen in many fields. We use EM algorithm to compute the non-parametric MLE (NPMLE) of the cummulative probability function/survival function and the two censoring distributions. One can also specify a constraint F(T)=C, it will return the constrained NPMLE and the -2 log empirical likelihood ratio for this constraint. This can be used to test the hypothesis about the constraint and, by inverting the test, find confidence intervals for probability or quantile via empirical likelihood ratio theorem. Influence functions of hat F may also be calculated, but currently, the it may be slow.

Fit of a double additive location-scale model with a nonparametric error distribution from possibly right- or interval censored data. The additive terms in the location and dispersion submodels, as well as the unknown error distribution in the location-scale model, are estimated using Laplace P-splines. For more details, see Lambert (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107250>.

In the context of data quality assessment, this package provides a number of functions for evaluating data quality across various dimensions, including completeness, plausibility, concordance, conformance, currency, timeliness, and correctness. It has been developed based on two well-known frameworksâ Michael G. Kahn (2016) <doi:10.13063/2327-9214.1244> and Nicole G. Weiskopf (2017) <doi:10.5334/egems.218>â for data quality assessment. Using this package, users can evaluate the quality of their datasets, provided that corresponding metadata are available.

Computations for approximations and alternatives for the DPQ (Density (pdf), Probability (cdf) and Quantile) functions for probability distributions in R. Primary focus is on (central and non-central) beta, gamma and related distributions such as the chi-squared, F, and t. -- For several distribution functions, provide functions implementing formulas from Johnson, Kotz, and Kemp (1992) <doi:10.1002/bimj.4710360207> and Johnson, Kotz, and Balakrishnan (1995) for discrete or continuous distributions respectively. This is for the use of researchers in these numerical approximation implementations, notably for my own use in order to improve standard R pbeta(), qgamma(), ..., etc: '"dpq"'-functions.

This package provides a basic, clear implementation of tree-based gradient boosting designed to illustrate the core operation of boosting models. Tuning parameters (such as stochastic subsampling, modified learning rate, or regularization) are not implemented. The only adjustable parameter is the number of training rounds. If you are looking for a high performance boosting implementation with tuning parameters, consider the xgboost package.

Simulates temporally structured perturbations in matrix population models and computes population reduction and integrated demographic vulnerability across perturbation regimes. Perturbations can be applied to adult survival, juvenile survival, fecundity, all demographic entries, or user-defined matrix elements. The package provides tools to simulate individual perturbation trajectories, evaluate perturbation grids, and summarize demographic vulnerability in structured populations.
