This package contains functions for operations with fuzzy cognitive maps using t-norm and s-norm operators. T-norms and S-norms are described by Dov M. Gabbay and George Metcalfe (2007) <doi:10.1007/s00153-007-0047-1>. System indicators are described by Cox, Earl D. (1995) <isbn:1886801010>. Executable examples are provided in the "inst/examples" folder.

This method is a new class of model selection strategies, for mixed model selection, which includes linear and generalized linear mixed models. The idea involves a procedure to isolate a subgroup of what are known as correct models (of which the optimal model is a member). This is accomplished by constructing a statistical fence, or barrier, to carefully eliminate incorrect models. Once the fence is constructed, the optimal model is selected from among those within the fence according to a criterion which can be made flexible. References: 1. Jiang J., Rao J.S., Gu Z., Nguyen T.

This package provides functions to access and retrieve metadata from the Finna API <https://api.finna.fi/>, which aggregates content from Finnish archives, libraries, and museums.

This package provides functions for creating, analyzing, and visualizing event study models using fixed-effects regression. Supports staggered adoption, multiple confidence intervals, flexible clustering, and panel/time transformations in a simple workflow.

Satellite data collected between 2003 and 2022, in conjunction with gridded bathymetric data (50-150 m resolution), are used to estimate the irradiance reaching the bottom of a series of representative EU Arctic fjords. An Earth System Science Data (ESSD) manuscript, Schlegel et al. (2024), provides a detailed explanation of the methodology.

Useful tools for conveniently downloading FHIR resources in xml format and converting them to R data.frames. The package uses FHIR-search to download bundles from a FHIR server, provides functions to save and read xml-files containing such bundles and allows flattening the bundles to data.frames using XPath expressions.

Fuzzy set ordination is a multivariate analysis used in ecology to relate the composition of samples to possible explanatory variables. While differing in theory and method, in practice, the use is similar to constrained ordination. The package contains plotting and summary functions as well as the analyses.

This package implements the Mode Jumping Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm described in <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2018.05.020> and its Genetically Modified counterpart described in <doi:10.1613/jair.1.13047> as well as the sub-sampling versions described in <doi:10.1016/j.ijar.2022.08.018> for flexible Bayesian model selection and model averaging.

This package provides functions for visualizing, modeling, forecasting and hypothesis testing of functional time series.

The purpose of forecastML is to simplify the process of multi-step-ahead forecasting with standard machine learning algorithms. forecastML supports lagged, dynamic, static, and grouping features for modeling single and grouped numeric or factor/sequence time series. In addition, simple wrapper functions are used to support model-building with most R packages. This approach to forecasting is inspired by Bergmeir, Hyndman, and Koo's (2018) paper "A note on the validity of cross-validation for evaluating autoregressive time series prediction" <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2017.11.003>.

The four-gamete test is based on the infinite-sites model which assumes that the probability of the same mutation occurring twice (recurrent or parallel mutations) and the probability of a mutation back to the original state (reverse mutations) are close to zero. Without these types of mutations, the only explanation for observing the four dilocus genotypes (example below) is recombination (Hudson and Kaplan 1985, Genetics 111:147-164). Thus, the presence of all four gametes is also called phylogenetic incompatibility.

Runs multiple individual time series models, and combines them into an ensembles of time series models. This is mainly used to predict the results of the monthly labor market report from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics for virtually any part of the economy reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but it can be easily modified to work with other types of time series data. For example, the package was used to predict the winning men's and women's time for the 2024 London Marathon.

To help you access, transform, analyze, and visualize ForestGEO data, we developed a collection of R packages (<https://forestgeo.github.io/fgeo/>). This package, in particular, helps you to implement analyses of plot species distributions, topography, demography, and biomass. It also includes a torus translation test to determine habitat associations of tree species as described by Zuleta et al. (2018) <doi:10.1007/s11104-018-3878-0>.

This package provides a small subset of plots throughout the U.S. are sampled and assessed "on-the-ground" as forested or non-forested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program, but the FIA also has access to remotely sensed data for all land in the country. The forested package contains data frames intended for use in predictive modeling applications where the more easily-accessible remotely sensed data can be used to predict whether a plot is forested or non-forested. Currently, the package provides data for Washington and Georgia.
