This package provides functions for the computation of functional elastic shape means over sets of open planar curves. The package is particularly suitable for settings where these curves are only sparsely and irregularly observed. It uses a novel approach for elastic shape mean estimation, where planar curves are treated as complex functions and a full Procrustes mean is estimated from the corresponding smoothed Hermitian covariance surface. This is combined with the methods for elastic mean estimation proposed in Steyer, Stöcker, Greven (2022) <doi:10.1111/biom.13706>. See Stöcker et. al. (2022) <arXiv:2203.10522> for details.

Estimation of four-fold table cell frequencies (raw data) from risk ratios (relative risks), risk differences and odds ratios. While raw data can be useful for doing meta-analysis, such data is often not provided by primary studies (with summary statistics being solely presented). Therefore, based on summary statistics (namely, risk ratios, risk differences and odds ratios), this package estimates the value of each cell in a 2x2 table according to the equations described in Di Pietrantonj C (2006) <doi:10.1002/sim.2287>.

An implementation of the quantitative ethnobotany indices in R. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use platform for ethnobotanists to assess the cultural significance of plant species based on informant consensus.

Computes the most important properties of four Bayesian early gating designs (two single arm and two randomized controlled designs), such as minimum required number of successes in the experimental group to make a GO decision, operating characteristics and average operating characteristics with respect to the sample size. These might aid in deciding what design to use for the early phase trial.

This package provides a function for distribution free control chart based on the change point model, for multivariate statistical process control. The main constituent of the chart is the energy test that focuses on the discrepancy between empirical characteristic functions of two random vectors. This new control chart highlights in three aspects. Firstly, it is distribution free, requiring no knowledge of the random processes. Secondly, this control chart can monitor mean and variance simultaneously. Thirdly it is devised for multivariate time series which is more practical in real data application. Fourthly, it is designed for online detection (Phase II), which is central for real time surveillance of stream data. For more information please refer to O. Okhrin and Y.F. Xu (2017) <https://github.com/YafeiXu/working_paper/raw/master/CPM102.pdf>.

Expert Algorithm Verbal Autopsy assigns causes of death to 2016 WHO Verbal Autopsy Questionnaire data. odk2EAVA() converts data to a standard input format for cause of death determination building on the work of Thomas (2021) <https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/CrossVA/>. codEAVA() uses the presence and absence of signs and symptoms reported in the Verbal Autopsy interview to diagnose common causes of death. A deterministic algorithm assigns a single cause of death to each Verbal Autopsy interview record using a hierarchy of all common causes for neonates or children 1 to 59 months of age.

Current layout algorithms such as Kamada Kawai do not take into consideration disjoint clusters in a network, often resulting in a high overlap among the clusters, resulting in a visual â hairballâ that often is uninterpretable. The ExplodeLayout algorithm takes as input (1) an edge list of a unipartite or bipartite network, (2) node layout coordinates (x, y) generated by a layout algorithm such as Kamada Kawai, (3) node cluster membership generated from a clustering algorithm such as modularity maximization, and (4) a radius to enable the node clusters to be â explodedâ to reduce their overlap. The algorithm uses these inputs to generate new layout coordinates of the nodes which â explodesâ the clusters apart, such that the edge lengths within the clusters are preserved, while the edge lengths between clusters are recalculated. The modified network layout with nodes and edges are displayed in two dimensions. The user can experiment with different explode radii to generate a layout which has sufficient separation of clusters, while reducing the overall layout size of the network. This package is a basic version of an earlier version called [epl]<https://github.com/UTMB-DIVA-Lab/epl> that searched for an optimal explode radius, and offered multiple ways to separate clusters in a network (Bhavnani et al(2017) <https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5543384/>). The example dataset is for a bipartite network, but the algorithm can work also for unipartite networks.

This package provides functions for eleven procedures for determining the number of factors, including functions for parallel analysis and the minimum average partial test. There are also functions for conducting principal components analysis, principal axis factor analysis, maximum likelihood factor analysis, image factor analysis, and extension factor analysis, all of which can take raw data or correlation matrices as input and with options for conducting the analyses using Pearson correlations, Kendall correlations, Spearman correlations, gamma correlations, or polychoric correlations. Varimax rotation, promax rotation, and Procrustes rotations can be performed. Additional functions focus on the factorability of a correlation matrix, the congruences between factors from different datasets, the assessment of local independence, the assessment of factor solution complexity, internal consistency, and for correcting Pearson correlation coefficients for attenuation due to unreliability.

The output variable of the datasets is a scalar (quantitative). The optimization of the likelihood function can be chosen by the users (see the documentation of EzGP_fit()). The modeling method is published in "EzGP: Easy-to-Interpret Gaussian Process Models for Computer Experiments with Both Quantitative and Qualitative Factors" by Qian Xiao, Abhyuday Mandal, C.
