This package provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to import, save, detrend and perform standard tree-ring analyses. The interactive detrending allows the user to check how well the detrending curve fits each time-series and change it when needed.

We consider a set of sample counts obtained by sampling arbitrary fractions of a finite volume containing an homogeneously dispersed population of identical objects. This package implements a Bayesian derivation of the posterior probability distribution of the population size using a binomial likelihood and non-conjugate, discrete uniform priors under sampling with or without replacement. This can be used for a variety of statistical problems involving absolute quantification under uncertainty. See Comoglio et al. (2013) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0074388>.

Explore neural networks in a layer oriented way, the framework is intended to give the user total control of the internals of a net without much effort. Use classes like PerceptronLayer to create a layer of Percetron neurons, and specify how many you want. The package does all the tricky stuff internally leaving you focused in what you want. I wrote this package during a neural networks course to help me with the problem set.

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.

In practice, we will encounter problems where the longitudinal performance of processes needs to be monitored over time. Dynamic screening systems (DySS) are methods that aim to identify and give signals to processes with poor performance as early as possible. This package is designed to implement dynamic screening systems and the related methods. References: Qiu, P. and Xiang, D. (2014) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2013.822423>; Qiu, P. and Xiang, D.

This package provides a d-statistic tests the null hypothesis of no treatment effect in a matched, nonrandomized study of the effects caused by treatments. A d-statistic focuses on subsets of matched pairs that demonstrate insensitivity to unmeasured bias in such an observational study, correcting for double-use of the data by conditional inference. This conditional inference can, in favorable circumstances, substantially increase the power of a sensitivity analysis (Rosenbaum (2010) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4419-1213-8_14>). There are two examples, one concerning unemployment from Lalive et al. (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-937X.2006.00406.x>, the other concerning smoking and periodontal disease from Rosenbaum (2017) <doi:10.1214/17-STS621>.

Discriminant Analysis (DA) for evolutionary inference (Qin, X. et al, 2020, <doi:10.22541/au.159256808.83862168>), especially for population genetic structure and community structure inference. This package incorporates the commonly used linear and non-linear, local and global supervised learning approaches (discriminant analysis), including Linear Discriminant Analysis of Kernel Principal Components (LDAKPC), Local (Fisher) Linear Discriminant Analysis (LFDA), Local (Fisher) Discriminant Analysis of Kernel Principal Components (LFDAKPC) and Kernel Local (Fisher) Discriminant Analysis (KLFDA). These discriminant analyses can be used to do ecological and evolutionary inference, including demography inference, species identification, and population/community structure inference.

Joint dimension reduction and spatial clustering is conducted for Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data, and more details can be referred to Wei Liu, Xu Liao, Yi Yang, Huazhen Lin, Joe Yeong, Xiang Zhou, Xingjie Shi and Jin Liu. (2022) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkac219>. It is not only computationally efficient and scalable to the sample size increment, but also is capable of choosing the smoothness parameter and the number of clusters as well.

Define a spatial Area of Interest (AOI) around a constructed dam using hydrology data. Dams have environmental and social impacts, both positive and negative. Current analyses of dams have no consistent way to specify at what spatial extent we should evaluate these impacts. damAOI implements methods to adjust reservoir polygons to match satellite-observed surface water areas, plot upstream and downstream rivers using elevation data and accumulated river flow, and draw buffers clipped by river basins around reservoirs and relevant rivers. This helps to consistently determine the areas which could be impacted by dam construction, facilitating comparative analysis and informed infrastructure investments.

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>).

Fast, flexible and user-friendly tools for distribution comparison through direct density ratio estimation. The estimated density ratio can be used for covariate shift adjustment, outlier-detection, change-point detection, classification and evaluation of synthetic data quality. The package implements multiple non-parametric estimation techniques (unconstrained least-squares importance fitting, ulsif(), Kullback-Leibler importance estimation procedure, kliep(), spectral density ratio estimation, spectral(), kernel mean matching, kmm(), and least-squares hetero-distributional subspace search, lhss()). with automatic tuning of hyperparameters. Helper functions are available for two-sample testing and visualizing the density ratios. For an overview on density ratio estimation, see Sugiyama et al. (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139035613> for a general overview, and the help files for references on the specific estimation techniques.

Perform tree-ring analyses such as detrending, chronology building, and cross dating. Read and write standard file formats used in dendrochronology.

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.

RStudio as of recently offers the option to define addins and assign shortcuts to them. This package contains addins for a few most frequently used functions in a data scientist's (at least mine) daily work (like str(), example(), plot(), head(), view(), Desc()). Most of these functions will use the current selection in the editor window and send the specific command to the console while instantly executing it. Assigning shortcuts to these addins will save you quite a few keystrokes.

This package provides data transformations, estimation utilities, predictive evaluation measures and simulation functions for discrete time survival analysis.

Nonparametric kernel density estimation, bandwidth selection, and other utilities for analyzing directional data. Implements the estimator in Bai, Rao and Zhao (1987) <doi:10.1016/0047-259X(88)90113-3>, the cross-validation bandwidth selectors in Hall, Watson and Cabrera (1987) <doi:10.1093/biomet/74.4.751> and the plug-in bandwidth selectors in Garcà a-Portugués (2013) <doi:10.1214/13-ejs821>.

Statistical models fit to compositional data are often difficult to interpret due to the sum to 1 constraint on data variables. DImodelsVis provides novel visualisations tools to aid with the interpretation of models fit to compositional data. All visualisations in the package are created using the ggplot2 plotting framework and can be extended like every other ggplot object.

This package provides methods for efficient algebraic operations and factorization of dyadic matrices using Rcpp and RcppArmadillo'. The details of dyadic matrices and the corresponding methodology are described in Kos, M., Podgórski, K., and Wu, H. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.08144>.

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.
