The package contains datasets used in our open-source textbooks along with custom plotting functions for reproducing book figures. Note that many functions and examples include color transparency; some plotting elements may not show up properly (or at all) when run in some versions of Windows operating system.
Estimate sample size based on precision rather than power. precisely is a study planning tool to calculate sample size based on precision. Power calculations are focused on whether or not an estimate will be statistically significant; calculations of precision are based on the same principles as power calculation but turn the focus to the width of the confidence interval. precisely is based on the work of Rothman and Greenland (2018).
This package provides a function kitten() which creates cute little packages which pass R package checks. This sets it apart from package.skeleton() which it calls, and which leaves imperfect files behind. As this is not exactly helpful for beginners, kitten() offers an alternative. Unit test support can be added via the tinytest package (if present), and documentation-creation support can be added via roxygen2 (if present).
RStudio addin which provides a GUI to visualize and analyse networks. After finishing a session, the code to produce the plot is inserted in the current script. Alternatively, the function SNAhelperGadget() can be used directly from the console. Additional addins include the Netreader() for reading network files, Netbuilder() to create small networks via point and click, and the Componentlayouter() to layout networks with many components manually.
Econometric estimation of simultaneous systems of linear and nonlinear equations using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Weighted Least Squares (WLS), Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR), Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS), Weighted Two-Stage Least Squares (W2SLS), and Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) as suggested, e.g., by Zellner (1962) <doi:10.2307/2281644>, Zellner and Theil (1962) <doi:10.2307/1911287>, and Schmidt (1990) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(90)90127-F>.
This package provides functions related to multivariate measures of independence and ICA: -estimate independent components by minimizing distance covariance; -conduct a test of mutual independence based on distance covariance; -estimate independent components via infomax (a popular method but generally performs poorer than mdcovica, ProDenICA, and/or fastICA, but is useful for comparisons); -order indepedent components by skewness; -match independent components from multiple estimates; -other functions useful in ICA.
If a procedure consists of several stages and there are several models that can be selected for each stage, uncertainty of the procedure can be decomposed by stages or models. This package includes the ANOVA-based method, the cumulative uncertainty-based method, and the balanced decomposition method. Yongdai Kim et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.hydroa.2019.100024> is a related paper which is accessible via the URL below.

This package provides classes for holding and manipulating Illumina methylation data. Based on eSet, it can contain MIAME information, sample information, feature information, and multiple matrices of data. An "intelligent" import function, methylumiR can read the Illumina text files and create a MethyLumiSet. methylumIDAT can directly read raw IDAT files from HumanMethylation27 and HumanMethylation450 microarrays. Normalization, background correction, and quality control features for GoldenGate, Infinium, and Infinium HD arrays are also included.
This package provides a visual and interactive web application using RStudio's shiny package. Bad quality samples are detected using sample-dependent and sample-independent controls present on the array and user adjustable thresholds. In depth exploration of bad quality samples can be performed using several interactive diagnostic plots of the quality control probes present on the array. Furthermore, the impact of any batch effect provided by the user can be explored.
This package has been prepared to assist users in computing either a sample size or power value for a microarray experimental study. The user is referred to the cited references for technical background on the methodology underpinning these calculations. This package provides support for five types of sample size and power calculations. These five types can be adapted in various ways to encompass many of the standard designs encountered in practice.

The AIFF file format is defined in <https://web.archive.org/web/20080125221040/http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/aiff.htm> and <https://www.mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/AIFF/Docs/AIFF-1.3.pdf> .
This package provides tools to compute the center of gravity and moment of inertia tensor of any flying bird. The tools function by modeling a bird as a composite structure of simple geometric objects. This requires detailed morphological measurements of bird specimens although those obtained for the associated paper have been included in the package for use. Refer to the vignettes and supplementary material for detailed information on the package function.
Implement in R interactive Circos-like visualizations of genomic data, to map information such as genetic variants, genomic fusions and aberrations to a circular genome, as proposed by the JavaScript library BioCircos.js', based on the JQuery and D3 technologies. The output is by default displayed in stand-alone HTML documents or in the RStudio viewer pane. Moreover it can be integrated in R Markdown documents and Shiny applications.
Simulates time-to-event data with type I right censoring using two methods: the inverse CDF method and our proposed memoryless method. The latter method takes advantage of the memoryless property of survival and simulates a separate distribution between change-points. We include two parametric distributions: exponential and Weibull. Inverse CDF method draws on the work of Rainer Walke (2010), <https://www.demogr.mpg.de/papers/technicalreports/tr-2010-003.pdf>.
