This package provides a suite of functions to work with data from the National Institutes of Health Brain Development Cohorts Data Hub. The package provides tools to create, clean, process, and filter datasets and associated metadata. These utilities are intended to simplify reproducible data-preparation for future research.
Enables user to perform the following: 1. Roll n number of die/dice (roll()). 2. Toss n number of coin(s) (toss()). 3. Play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. 4. Choose n number of card(s) from a pack of 52 playing cards (Joker optional).
Estimation methods for optimal treatment regimes under three different criteria, namely marginal quantile, marginal mean, and mean absolute difference. For the first two criteria, both one-stage and two-stage estimation method are implemented. A doubly robust estimator for estimating the quantile-optimal treatment regime is also included.
This package implements named semaphores from the boost C++ library <https://www.boost.org/> for interprocess communication. Multiple R sessions on the same host can block (with optional timeout) on a semaphore until it becomes positive, then atomically decrement it and unblock. Any session can increment the semaphore.
Simulate age-structured populations that vary in space and time and explore the efficacy of a range of built-in or user-defined sampling protocols to reproduce the population parameters of the known population. (See Regular et al. (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0232822> for more details).
Transformation of sea currents to connectivity data. Two files of horizontal and vertical currents flows are transformed into connectivity data in the form of sfnetwork', shapefile, edge list and adjacency matrix. An application example is shown at Nagkoulis et al. (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.dib.2024.111268>.
Delta Method implementation to estimate standard errors with known asymptotic properties within the tidyverse workflow. The Delta Method is a statistical tool that approximates an estimatorâ s behaviour using a Taylor Expansion. For a comprehensive explanation, please refer to Chapter 3 of van der Vaart (1998, ISBN: 9780511802256).
This package provides a unified R6-based interface for various machine learning models with automatic interface detection, consistent cross-validation, model interpretations via numerical derivatives, and visualization. Supports both regression and classification tasks with any model function that follows R's standard modeling conventions (formula or matrix interface).
Minirhizotrons are widely used to observe and explore roots and their growth. This package provides the means to stitch images and divide them into depth layers. Please note that this R package was developed alongside the following manuscript: Stitching root scans and extracting depth layer information -- a workflow and practical examples, S. Kersting, L. Knüver, and M. Fischer. The manuscript is currently in preparation and should be citet as soon as it is available. This project was supported by the project ArtIGROW, which is a part of the WIR!-Alliance ArtIFARM â Artificial Intelligence in Farming funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (No. 03WIR4805).
This package provides tools for large, sparse optimal matching of treated units and control units in observational studies. Provisions are made for refined covariate balance constraints, which include fine and near-fine balance as special cases. Matches are optimal in the sense that they are computed as solutions to network optimization problems rather than greedy algorithms. See Pimentel, et al.(2015) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2014.997879> and Pimentel (2016), Obs. Studies 2(1):4-23. The rrelaxiv package, which provides an alternative solver for the underlying network flow problems, carries an academic license and is not available on CRAN, but may be downloaded from Github at <https://github.com/josherrickson/rrelaxiv/>.
This package provides software and data for the book "An Introduction to the Bootstrap" by B. Efron and R. Tibshirani, 1993, Chapman and Hall. This package is primarily provided for projects already based on it, and for support of the book. New projects should preferentially use the recommended package "boot".
This library implements unicode-casemap, the simple, non locale-sensitive unicode collation algorithm described in RFC 5051. Proper unicode collation can be done using text-icu, but that is a big dependency that depends on a large C library, and rfc5051 might be better for some purposes.
The ptools (power tools) library extends Ruby's core File class with many additional methods modelled after common POSIX tools, such as File.which for finding executables, File.tail to print the last lines of a file, File.wc to count words, and so on.
An implementation of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E691 for interlaboratory testing procedures, designed for cross-platform genomic measurements. Given three (3) or more genomic platforms or laboratory protocols, this package provides interlaboratory testing procedures giving per-locus comparisons for sensitivity and precision between platforms.
Automatically do statistical exploration. Create formulas using tidyselect syntax, and then determine cross-validated model accuracy and variable contributions using glm and xgboost'. Contains additional helper functions to create and modify formulas. Has a flagship function to quickly determine relationships between categorical and continuous variables in the data set.
Interact with the Attentional Control Data Collection (ACDC) or the Truth Effect Database (TED). Download the databases using download_acdc() or download_ted(), connect to the database via connect_to_db(), set filter arguments via add_argument() and query the database via query_db().
Calculate the distance between single-arm observational studies using covariate information to remove heterogeneity in Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) of randomized clinical trials. Facilitate the inclusion of observational data in NMA, enhancing the comprehensiveness and robustness of comparative effectiveness research. Schmitz (2018) <doi:10.1186/s12874-018-0509-7>.
Data manipulation for Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase-6 (CMIP6) hydroclimatic data. The files are archived in the Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) (Rajulapati et al, 2024, <doi:10.20383/103.0829>). The data set is described in Abdelmoaty et al. (2025, <doi:10.1038/s41597-025-04396-z>).
Filter CpGs based on Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) when replicates are available. ICCs are calculated by fitting linear mixed effects models to all samples including the un-replicated samples. Including the large number of un-replicated samples improves ICC estimates dramatically. The method accommodates any replicate design.
This package creates discretised versions of continuous distribution functions by mapping continuous values to an underlying discrete grid, based on a (uniform) frequency of discretisation, a valid discretisation point, and an integration range. For a review of discretisation methods, see Chakraborty (2015) <doi:10.1186/s40488-015-0028-6>.
Model-based methods for the detection of disease clusters using GLMs, GLMMs and zero-inflated models. These methods are described in V. Gómez-Rubio et al. (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v090.i14> and V. Gómez-Rubio et al. (2018) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-01584-8_1>.
This is a port of Fortran ETERNA 3.4 <http://igets.u-strasbg.fr/soft_and_tool.php> by H.G. Wenzel for calculating synthetic Earth tides using the Hartmann and Wenzel (1994) <doi:10.1029/95GL03324> or Kudryavtsev (2004) <doi:10.1007/s00190-003-0361-2> tidal catalogs.
This package implements the Edwards (1997) <doi:10.1002/j.1551-8833.1997.tb08229.x> Langmuir-based semi-empirical coagulation model, which predicts the concentration of organic carbon remaining in water after treatment with an Al- or Fe-based coagulant. Data and methods are provided to optimise empirical coefficients.
This package provides tools for detecting and summarize influential cases that can affect exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis models as well as structural equation models more generally (Chalmers, 2015, <doi:10.1177/0146621615597894>; Flora, D. B., LaBrish, C. & Chalmers, R. P., 2012, <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00055>).
