Estimate gender from names in Spanish and Portuguese. Works with vectors and dataframes. The estimation works not only for first names but also full names. The package relies on a compilation of common names with it's most frequent associated gender in both languages which are used as look up tables for gender inference.

In gene-expression microarray studies, for example, one generally obtains a list of dozens or hundreds of genes that differ in expression between samples and then asks What does all of this mean biologically? Alternatively, gene lists can be derived conceptually in addition to experimentally. For instance, one might want to analyze a group of genes known as housekeeping genes. The work of the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium <geneontology.org> provides a way to address that question. GO organizes genes into hierarchical categories based on biological process, molecular function and subcellular localization. The role of GoMiner is to automate the mapping between a list of genes and GO, and to provide a statistical summary of the results as well as a visualization.

GPU'/CPU Benchmarking on Debian-package based systems This package benchmarks performance of a few standard linear algebra operations (such as a matrix product and QR, SVD and LU decompositions) across a number of different BLAS libraries as well as a GPU implementation. To do so, it takes advantage of the ability to plug and play different BLAS implementations easily on a Debian and/or Ubuntu system. The current version supports - Reference BLAS ('refblas') which are un-accelerated as a baseline - Atlas which are tuned but typically configure single-threaded - Atlas39 which are tuned and configured for multi-threaded mode - Goto Blas which are accelerated and multi-threaded - Intel MKL which is a commercial accelerated and multithreaded version. As for GPU computing, we use the CRAN package - gputools For Goto Blas', the gotoblas2-helper script from the ISM in Tokyo can be used. For Intel MKL we use the Revolution R packages from Ubuntu 9.10.

This package provides a novel statistical model to detect the joint genetic and dynamic gene-environment (GxE) interaction with continuous traits in genetic association studies. It uses varying-coefficient models to account for different GxE trajectories, regardless whether the relationship is linear or not. The package includes one function, GxEtest(), to test a single genetic variant (e.g., a single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP), and another function, GxEscreen(), to test for a set of genetic variants. The method involves a likelihood ratio test described in Crainiceanu, C. M., and Ruppert, D. (2004) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2004.00438.x>.

Given an adjacency matrix drawn from a Generalized Stochastic Block Model with missing observations, this package robustly estimates the probabilities of connection between nodes and detects outliers nodes, as describes in Gaucher, Klopp and Robin (2019) <arXiv:1911.13122>.

Activate dark mode on your favorite ggplot2 theme with dark_mode() or use the dark versions of ggplot2 themes, including dark_theme_gray(), dark_theme_minimal(), and others. When a dark theme is applied, all geom color and geom fill defaults are changed to make them visible against a dark background. To restore the defaults to their original values, use invert_geom_defaults().

Aligning multiple visualisations by utilising generalised orthogonal Procrustes analysis (GPA) before combining coordinates into a single biplot display as described in Nienkemper-Swanepoel, le Roux and Lubbe (2023)<doi:10.1080/03610918.2021.1914089>. This is mainly suitable to combine visualisations constructed from multiple imputations, however, it can be generalised to combine variations of visualisations from the same datasets (i.e. resamples).
