Various Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms are implemented for item response theory (IRT) models. The package includes IRT models for binary and ordinal responses, along with dynamic and hierarchical IRT models with binary responses. The latter two models are fitted using variational EM. The package also includes variational network and text scaling models. The algorithms are described in Imai, Lo, and Olmsted (2016) <DOI:10.1017/S000305541600037X>.

EB-PRS is a novel method that leverages information for effect sizes across all the markers to improve the prediction accuracy. No parameter tuning is needed in the method, and no external information is needed. This R-package provides the calculation of polygenic risk scores from the given training summary statistics and testing data. We can use EB-PRS to extract main information, estimate Empirical Bayes parameters, derive polygenic risk scores for each individual in testing data, and evaluate the PRS according to AUC and predictive r2. See Song et al. (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007565> for a detailed presentation of the method.

Integrates methods for epidemiological analysis, modeling, and visualization, including functions for summary statistics, SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) modeling, DALY (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) estimation, age standardization, diagnostic test evaluation, NLP (Natural Language Processing) keyword extraction, clinical trial power analysis, survival analysis, SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) association, and machine learning methods such as logistic regression, k-means clustering, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM).

This package provides a collection of functions that allows for easy and consistent use of environment variables. This includes setting, checking, retrieving, transforming, and validating values stored in environment variables.

This package provides a predictable and pipeable framework for performing ETL (extract-transform-load) operations on publicly-accessible medium-sized data set. This package sets up the method structure and implements generic functions. Packages that depend on this package download specific data sets from the Internet, clean them up, and import them into a local or remote relational database management system.

An implementation of the ESS algorithm following Amol Deshpande, Minos Garofalakis, Michael I Jordan (2013) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1301.2267>. The ESS algorithm is used for model selection in decomposable graphical models.

The concept of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV, <https://geobon.org/ebvs/what-are-ebvs/>) comes with a data structure based on the Network Common Data Form (netCDF). The ebvcube R package provides functionality to easily create, access and visualise this data. The EBV netCDFs can be downloaded from the EBV Data Portal: Christian Langer/ iDiv (2020) <https://portal.geobon.org/>.

High-performance implementation of various effect plots useful for regression and probabilistic classification tasks. The package includes partial dependence plots (Friedman, 2021, <doi:10.1214/aos/1013203451>), accumulated local effect plots and M-plots (both from Apley and Zhu, 2016, <doi:10.1111/rssb.12377>), as well as plots that describe the statistical associations between model response and features. It supports visualizations with either ggplot2 or plotly', and is compatible with most models, including Tidymodels', models wrapped in DALEX explainers, or models with case weights.

This package provides functions that help with analysis of prognostic study data. This allows users with little experience of developing models to develop models and assess the performance of the prognostic models. This also summarises the information, so the performance of multiple models can be displayed simultaneously. This minor update fixes issues related to memory requirements with large number of simulations and deals with situations when there is overfitting of data.

This package provides computational methods for detecting adverse high-order drug interactions from individual case safety reports using statistical techniques, allowing the exploration of higher-order interactions among drug cocktails.

An alternative to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for metrical data in R. Drawing on characteristics of classical test theory, Exploratory Likert Scaling (ELiS) supports the user exploring multiple one-dimensional data structures. In common research practice, however, EFA remains the go-to method to uncover the (underlying) structure of a data set. Orthogonal dimensions and the potential of overextraction are often accepted as side effects. As described in Müller-Schneider (2001) <doi:10.1515/zfsoz-2001-0404>), ELiS confronts these problems. As a result, elisr provides the platform to fully exploit the exploratory potential of the multiple scaling approach itself.

Generalized linear mixed modeling is used for estimating the effects of item-related and person-related variables on dichotomous and polytomous item responses.
