You can apply image processing effects that modifies the perceived material properties of objects in photos, such as gloss, smoothness, and blemishes. This is an implementation of the algorithm proposed by Boyadzhiev et al. (2015) "Band-Sifting Decomposition for Image Based Material Editing". Documentation and practical tips of the package is available at <https://github.com/tsuda16k/materialmodifier>.

This package provides functions to classify mass spectra in known categories and to determine discriminant mass-to-charge values (m/z). Includes easy-to-use preprocessing pipelines for Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation - Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) mass spectra, methods to select discriminant m/z from labelled libraries, and tools to predict categories (species, phenotypes, etc.) from selected features. Also provides utilities to build design matrices from peak intensities and labels. While this package was developed with the aim of identifying very similar species or phenotypes of bacteria from MALDI-TOF MS, the functions of this package can also be used to classify other categories associated to mass spectra; or from mass spectra obtained with other mass spectrometry techniques. Parallelized processing and optional C++-accelerated functions are available (notably to deal with large datasets) from version 0.5.0. If you use this package in your research, please cite the associated publication (<doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2025.128796>). For a comprehensive guide, additional applications, and detailed examples, see <https://github.com/agodmer/MSclassifR_examples>.

Defines predict function that transforms output from a Tweedie Generalized Linear Mixed Model (using glmmTMB'), Generalized Additive Model (using mgcv'), or spatio-temporal Generalized Linear Mixed Model (using package tinyVAST'), and returns predicted proportions (and standard errors) across a grouping variable from an equivalent multivariate-logit Tweedie model. These predicted proportions can then be used for standard plotting and diagnostics. See Thorson et al. 2022 <doi:10.1002/ecy.3637>.

This package provides a supervised learning algorithm inputs a train set, and outputs a prediction function, which can be used on a test set. If each data point belongs to a subset (such as geographic region, year, etc), then how do we know if subsets are similar enough so that we can get accurate predictions on one subset, after training on Other subsets? And how do we know if training on All subsets would improve prediction accuracy, relative to training on the Same subset? SOAK, Same/Other/All K-fold cross-validation, <doi:10.1002/sam.70055> can be used to answer these questions, by fixing a test subset, training models on Same/Other/All subsets, and then comparing test error rates (Same versus Other and Same versus All). Also provides code for estimating how many train samples are required to get accurate predictions on a test set.

Use multi-state splitting to apply Adaptive-Dynamic PCA (ADPCA) to data generated from a continuous-time multivariate industrial or natural process. Employ PCA-based dimension reduction to extract linear combinations of relevant features, reducing computational burdens. For a description of ADPCA, see <doi:10.1007/s00477-016-1246-2>, the 2016 paper from Kazor et al. The multi-state application of ADPCA is from a manuscript under current revision entitled "Multi-State Multivariate Statistical Process Control" by Odom, Newhart, Cath, and Hering, and is expected to appear in Q1 of 2018.

Conduct network meta-analyses through a graphical user interface using bnma', gemtc and netmeta with additional analysis provided by meta and metafor'. Frequentist, Bayesian, meta-regression and baseline risk meta-regression analyses can all be conducted using a consistent data structure and terminology. Many options are provided for downloading publication-ready outputs and analyses can be reproduced outside of the application by downloading a quarto file. The interface was generated using shinyscholar'. The initial version of the app was described by Owen et al.

(2025) <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2025.111839>.

Balancing quasi-experimental field research for effects of covariates is fundamental for drawing causal inference. Propensity Score Matching deals with this issue but current techniques are restricted to binary treatment variables. Moreover, they provide several solutions without providing a comprehensive framework on choosing the best model. The MAGMA R-package addresses these restrictions by offering nearest neighbor matching for two to four groups. It also includes the option to match data of a 2x2 design. In addition, MAGMA includes a framework for evaluating the post-matching balance. The package includes functions for the matching process and matching reporting. We provide a tutorial on MAGMA as vignette. More information on MAGMA can be found in Feuchter, M. D., Urban, J., Scherrer V., Breit, M. L., and Preckel F. (2022) <https://osf.io/p47nc/>.

Many times, you will not find data for all dates. After first January, 2011 you may have next data on 20th January, 2011 and so on. Also available dates may have zero values. Try to gather all such kinds of data in different excel sheets of a single excel file. Every sheet will contain two columns (1st one is dates and second one is the data). After loading all the sheets into different elements of a list, using this you can fill the gaps for all the sheets and mark all the corresponding values as zeros. Here I am talking about daily data. Finally, it will combine all the filled results into one data frame (first column is date and other columns will be corresponding values of your sheets) and give one combined data frame. Number of columns in the data frame will be number of sheets plus one. Then imputation will be done. Daily to monthly and weekly conversion is also possible. More details can be found in Garai and others (2023) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.11977.42087>.

Integrating morphological modeling with machine learning to support structured decision-making (e.g., in management and consulting). The package enumerates a morphospace of feasible configurations and uses random forests to estimate class probabilities over that space, bridging deductive model exploration with empirical validation. It includes utilities for factorizing inputs, model training, morphospace construction, and an interactive shiny app for scenario exploration.

This package provides an extension of the shadow-test approach to computerized adaptive testing (CAT) implemented in the TestDesign package for the assessment framework involving multiple tests administered periodically throughout the year. This framework is referred to as the Multiple Administrations Adaptive Testing (MAAT) and supports multiple item pools vertically scaled and multiple phases (stages) of CAT within each test. Between phases and tests, transitioning from one item pool (and associated constraints) to another is allowed as deemed necessary to enhance the quality of measurement.

Publicly available data from Medicare frequently requires extensive initial effort to extract desired variables and merge them; this package formalizes the techniques I've found work best. More information on the Medicare program, as well as guidance for the publicly available data this package targets, can be found on CMS's website covering publicly available data. See <https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems.html>.

This package provides a leadership-inference framework for multivariate time series. The framework for multiple-faction-leadership inference from coordinated activities or mFLICA uses a notion of a leader as an individual who initiates collective patterns that everyone in a group follows. Given a set of time series of individual activities, our goal is to identify periods of coordinated activity, find factions of coordination if more than one exist, as well as identify leaders of each faction. For each time step, the framework infers following relations between individual time series, then identifying a leader of each faction whom many individuals follow but it follows no one. A faction is defined as a group of individuals that everyone follows the same leader. mFLICA reports following relations, leaders of factions, and members of each faction for each time step.
