Bayesian inference algorithms based on the population-based "differential evolution" (DE) algorithm. Users can obtain posterior mode (MAP) estimates via DEMAP, posterior samples via DEMCMC, and variational approximations via DEVI.

R codes for distance based cell lineage reconstruction. Our methods won both sub-challenges 2 and 3 of the Allen Institute Cell Lineage Reconstruction DREAM Challenge in 2020. References: Gong et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.cels.2021.05.008>, Gong et al. (2022) <doi:10.1186/s12859-022-04633-x>.

Package to fit diffusion-based IRT models to response and response time data. Models are fit using marginal maximum likelihood. Parameter restrictions (fixed value and equality constraints) are possible. In addition, factor scores (person drift rate and person boundary separation) can be estimated. Model fit assessment tools are also available. The traditional diffusion model can be estimated as well.

This package provides a simple interface to build designs using the package DeclareDesign'. In one line of code, users can specify the parameters of individual designs and diagnose their properties. The designers can also be used to compare performance of a given design across a range of combinations of parameters, such as effect size, sample size, and assignment probabilities.

The package requires a minimal number of dependencies. It offers functionality to retrieve a user-defined sample of disaster events from ReliefWeb, providing an easy alternative to scraping the ReliefWeb website. It enables a seamless integration of regular data updates into the research work flow.

This package provides an interactive viewer for data.frame', tibble and data.table objects using shiny <https://shiny.posit.co/> and DT <https://rstudio.github.io/DT/>. It supports complex filtering, column selection, and automatic generation of reproducible dplyr <https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/> code for data manipulation. The package is designed for ease of use in data exploration and reporting workflows.

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.

Helper functions for descriptive tasks such as making print-friendly bivariate tables, sample size flow counts, and visualizing sample distributions. Also contains R approximations of some common SAS and Stata functions such as PROC MEANS from SAS and ladder', gladder', and pwcorr from Stata'.

Mimics the demo functionality for Shiny apps in a package. Apps stored to the package subdirectory inst/shiny can be called by demoShiny(topic).

Probability generating function, formulae for the probabilities (discrete density) and random generation for discrete stable random variables.

This package performs the drifting Markov models (DMM) which are non-homogeneous Markov models designed for modeling the heterogeneities of sequences in a more flexible way than homogeneous Markov chains or even hidden Markov models. In this context, we developed an R package dedicated to the estimation, simulation and the exact computation of associated reliability of drifting Markov models. The implemented methods are described in Vergne, N. (2008), <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1326> and Barbu, V.S., Vergne, N. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11009-018-9682-8> .

Three general demographic decomposition methods: Pseudo-continuous decomposition proposed by Horiuchi, Wilmoth, and Pletcher (2008) <doi:10.1353/dem.0.0033>, stepwise replacement decomposition proposed by Andreev, Shkolnikov and Begun (2002) <doi:10.4054/DemRes.2002.7.14>, and lifetable response experiments proposed by Caswell (1989) <doi:10.1016/0304-3800(89)90019-7>.

This package contains one main function deduped() which speeds up slow, vectorized functions by only performing computations on the unique values of the input and expanding the results at the end.

Prepare the results of a DCE to be analysed through choice models.'DCEmgmt reshapes DCE data from wide to long format considering the special characteristics of a DCE. DCEmgmt includes the function DCEestm which estimates choice models once the database has been reshaped with DCEmgmt'.

Interface with the Dat p2p network protocol <https://datproject.org>. Clone archives from the network, share your own files, and install packages from the network.

This package provides a framework to help construct R data packages in a reproducible manner. Potentially time consuming processing of raw data sets into analysis ready data sets is done in a reproducible manner and decoupled from the usual R CMD build process so that data sets can be processed into R objects in the data package and the data package can then be shared, built, and installed by others without the need to repeat computationally costly data processing. The package maintains data provenance by turning the data processing scripts into package vignettes, as well as enforcing documentation and version checking of included data objects. Data packages can be version controlled on GitHub', and used to share data for manuscripts, collaboration and reproducible research.

Data depth concept offers a variety of powerful and user friendly tools for robust exploration and inference for multivariate data. The offered techniques may be successfully used in cases of lack of our knowledge on parametric models generating data due to their nature. The package consist of among others implementations of several data depth techniques involving multivariate quantile-quantile plots, multivariate scatter estimators, multivariate Wilcoxon tests and robust regressions.

Compares the fit of alternative models of continuous trait differentiation between sister species and other paired lineages. Differences in trait means between two lineages arise as they diverge from a common ancestor, and alternative processes of evolutionary divergence are expected to leave unique signatures in the distribution of trait differentiation in datasets comprised of many lineage pairs. Models include approximations of divergent selection, drift, and stabilizing selection. A variety of model extensions facilitate the testing of process-to-pattern hypotheses. Users supply trait data and divergence times for each lineage pair. The fit of alternative models is compared in a likelihood framework.

Estimate the Deterministic Input, Noisy "And" Gate (DINA) cognitive diagnostic model parameters using the Gibbs sampler described by Culpepper (2015) <doi:10.3102/1076998615595403>.

Demonstration code showing how (univariate) kernel density estimates are computed, at least conceptually, and allowing users to experiment with different kernels, should they so wish. The method used follows directly the definition, but gains efficiency by replacing the observations by frequencies in a very fine grid covering the sample range. A canonical reference is B. W. Silverman, (1998) <doi: 10.1201/9781315140919>. NOTE: the density function in the stats package uses a more sophisticated method based on the fast Fourier transform and that function should be used if computational efficiency is a prime consideration.

Basic routines used in scientific coding, such as timing routines, vector/array handing functions and I/O support routines.

Diagnostics for linear L1 regression (also known as LAD - Least Absolute Deviations), including: estimation, confidence intervals, tests of hypotheses, measures of leverage, methods of diagnostics for L1 regression, special diagnostics graphs and measures of leverage. The algorithms are based in Dielman (2005) <doi:10.1080/0094965042000223680>, Elian et al. (2000) <doi:10.1080/03610920008832518> and Dodge (1997) <doi:10.1006/jmva.1997.1666>. This package builds on the quantreg package, which is a well-established package for tuning quantile regression models. There are also tests to verify if the errors have a Laplace distribution based on the work of Puig and Stephens (2000) <doi:10.2307/1270952>.

This package provides a general-purpose computational engine for data analysis, drake rebuilds intermediate data objects when their dependencies change, and it skips work when the results are already up to date. Not every execution starts from scratch, there is native support for parallel and distributed computing, and completed projects have tangible evidence that they are reproducible. Extensive documentation, from beginner-friendly tutorials to practical examples and more, is available at the reference website <https://docs.ropensci.org/drake/> and the online manual <https://books.ropensci.org/drake/>.
