For more details see Tanaka, Saga and Nakano <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i06>.

Ordnance Survey ('OS') is the national mapping agency for Great Britain and produces a large variety of mapping and geospatial products. Much of OS's data is available via the OS Data Hub <https://osdatahub.os.uk/>, a platform that hosts both free and premium data products. osdatahub provides a user-friendly way to access, query, and download these data.

Social media sites often embed cards when links are shared, based on metadata in the Open Graph Protocol (<https://ogp.me/>). This supports extracting that metadata from a website. It further allows for the creation of tags to add to a website to support the Open Graph Protocol and provides a list of the standard tags and their required properties.

Propagation of uncertainty using higher-order Taylor expansion and Monte Carlo simulation. Calculations of propagated uncertainties are based on matrix calculus including covariance structure according to Arras 1998 <doi:10.3929/ethz-a-010113668> (first order), Wang & Iyer 2005 <doi:10.1088/0026-1394/42/5/011> (second order) and BIPM Supplement 1 (Monte Carlo) <doi:10.59161/JCGM101-2008>.

This package provides an implementation of the Sparse ICA method in Wang et al. (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2370593> for estimating sparse independent source components of cortical surface functional MRI data, by addressing a non-smooth, non-convex optimization problem through the relax-and-split framework. This method effectively balances statistical independence and sparsity while maintaining computational efficiency.

This is a collection of various kinds of data with broad uses for teaching. My students, and academics like me who teach the same topics I teach, should find this useful if their teaching workflow is also built around the R programming language. The applications are multiple but mostly cluster on topics of statistical methodology, international relations, and political economy.

Multilevel models can be expressed using lme4 syntax (Bates, Maechler, Bolker, and Walker (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i01>).

Flexible stochastic tree ensemble software. Robust implementations of Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) Chipman, George, McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285> for supervised learning and Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF) Hahn, Murray, Carvalho (2020) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1195> for causal inference. Enables model serialization and parallel sampling and provides a low-level interface for custom stochastic forest samplers.

This package provides a container for data used by the usmap package. The data used by usmap has been extracted into this package so that the file size of the usmap package can be reduced greatly. The data in this package will be updated roughly once per year as new map data files are provided by the US Census Bureau.

Simplifies functions assess normality for bivariate and multivariate statistical techniques. Includes functions designed to replicate plots and tables that would result from similar calls in SPSS', including hst(), box(), qq(), tab(), cormat(), and residplot(). Also includes simplified formulae, such as mode(), scatter(), p.corr(), ow.anova(), and rm.anova().

Full model selection (detection of the relevant features and estimation of the number of clusters) for model-based clustering (see reference here <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9670-1>). Data to analyze can be continuous, categorical, integer or mixed. Moreover, missing values can occur and do not necessitate any pre-processing. Shiny application permits an easy interpretation of the results.

Pathifier is an algorithm that infers pathway deregulation scores for each tumor sample on the basis of expression data. This score is determined, in a context-specific manner, for every particular dataset and type of cancer that is being investigated. The algorithm transforms gene-level information into pathway-level information, generating a compact and biologically relevant representation of each sample.

The complexity of high-throughput quantitative omics experiments often leads to low replicates numbers and many missing values. We implemented a new test to simultaneously consider missing values and quantitative changes, which we combined with well-performing statistical tests for high confidence detection of differentially regulated features. The package contains functions to run the test and to visualize the results.

This package provides an R API and htmlwidget facilitating interactive visualization of spatial single-cell data with Vitessce. The R API contains classes and functions for loading single-cell data stored in compatible on-disk formats. The htmlwidget is a wrapper around the Vitessce JavaScript library and can be used in the Viewer tab of RStudio or Shiny apps.

The ACE file format is used in genomics to store contigs from sequencing machines. This tools converts it into FASTQ format. Both formats contain the sequence characters and their corresponding quality information. Unlike the FASTQ file, the ACE file stores the quality values numerically. The conversion algorithm uses the standard Sanger formula. The package facilitates insertion into pipelines, and content inspection.

This package provides a collection of tools to evaluate probability density functions, cumulative distribution functions, quantile functions and random numbers for truncated random variables. These functions are provided to also compute the expected value and variance. Q-Q plots can be produced. All the probability functions in the stats, stats4 and evd packages are automatically available for truncation.

RegulonDB has collected, harmonized and centralized data from hundreds of experiments for nearly two decades and is considered a point of reference for transcriptional regulation in Escherichia coli K12. Here, we present the regutools R package to facilitate programmatic access to RegulonDB data in computational biology. regutools provides researchers with the possibility of writing reproducible workflows with automated queries to RegulonDB. The regutools package serves as a bridge between RegulonDB data and the Bioconductor ecosystem by reusing the data structures and statistical methods powered by other Bioconductor packages. We demonstrate the integration of regutools with Bioconductor by analyzing transcription factor DNA binding sites and transcriptional regulatory networks from RegulonDB. We anticipate that regutools will serve as a useful building block in our progress to further our understanding of gene regulatory networks.

Methods of different nature are implemented: with fixed Head-to-Head structure, with variable Head-to-Head structure and with iterative nature. All algorithms are taken from the book Whoâ s #1?: The science of rating and ranking by Amy N. Langville and Carl D. Meyer (2012, ISBN:978-0-691-15422-0).

Computes discrete fast Fourier transform of river discharge data and the derived metrics. The methods are described in J. L. Sabo, D. M. Post (2008) <doi:10.1890/06-1340.1> and J. L. Sabo, A.

Given a set of predictive quantiles from a distribution, estimate the distribution and create `d`, `p`, `q`, and `r` functions to evaluate its density function, distribution function, and quantile function, and generate random samples. On the interior of the provided quantiles, an interpolation method such as a monotonic cubic spline is used; the tails are approximated by a location-scale family.

Test hypotheses and construct confidence intervals for AUC (area under Receiver Operating Characteristic curve) and pAUC (partial area under ROC curve), from the given two samples of test data with disease/healthy subjects. The method used is based on TWO SAMPLE empirical likelihood and PROFILE empirical likelihood, as described in <https://www.ms.uky.edu/~mai/research/eAUC1.pdf>.
