An implementation, which takes input data and makes it available for proper batch effect removal by ComBat or Limma. The implementation appropriately handles missing values by dissecting the input matrix into smaller matrices with sufficient data to feed the ComBat or limma algorithm. The adjusted data is returned to the user as a rebuild matrix. The implementation is meant to make as much data available as possible with minimal data loss.
timeOmics is a generic data-driven framework to integrate multi-Omics longitudinal data measured on the same biological samples and select key temporal features with strong associations within the same sample group. The main steps of timeOmics are: 1. Plaform and time-specific normalization and filtering steps; 2. Modelling each biological into one time expression profile; 3. Clustering features with the same expression profile over time; 4. Post-hoc validation step.
This package provides a collection of functions allowing to derive the posterior distribution of the model parameters in random-effects meta-analysis or meta-regression, and providing functionality to evaluate joint and marginal posterior probability distributions, predictive distributions, shrinkage effects, posterior predictive p-values, etc.; For more details, see also Roever C (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v093.i06>, or Roever C and Friede T (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2022.107303>.

We provide a list of functions for replicating the results of the Monte Carlo simulations and empirical application of Jiang et al. (2022). In particular, we provide corresponding functions for generating the three types of random data described in this paper, as well as all the estimation strategies. Detailed information about the data generation process and estimation strategy can be found in Jiang et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2201.13004>.
This package provides functions to quantify animal dominance hierarchies. The major focus is on Elo rating and its ability to deal with temporal dynamics in dominance interaction sequences. For static data, David's score and de Vries I&SI are also implemented. In addition, the package provides functions to assess transitivity, linearity and stability of dominance networks. See Neumann et al (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.anbehav.2011.07.016> for an introduction.

It supports pagination for large result sets and time-series analysis of island performance. The API endpoint is <https://api.fortnite.com/ecosystem/v1>.
The basic idea of this package is provides some tools to help the researcher to work with geostatistics. Initially, we present a collection of functions that allow the researchers to deal with spatial data using bootstrap procedure. There are five methods available and two ways to display them: bootstrap confidence interval - provides a two-sided bootstrap confidence interval; bootstrap plot - a graphic with the original variogram and each of the B bootstrap variograms.
This package provides functions to conduct robust inference in difference-in-differences and event study designs by implementing the methods developed in Rambachan & Roth (2023) <doi:10.1093/restud/rdad018>, "A More Credible Approach to Parallel Trends" [Previously titled "An Honest Approach..."]. Inference is conducted under a weaker version of the parallel trends assumption. Uniformly valid confidence sets are constructed based upon conditional confidence sets, fixed-length confidence sets and hybridized confidence sets.
This package provides functions and classes to compute, handle and visualise incidence from dated events for a defined time interval. Dates can be provided in various standard formats. The class incidence is used to store computed incidence and can be easily manipulated, subsetted, and plotted. In addition, log-linear models can be fitted to incidence objects using fit'. This package is part of the RECON (<https://www.repidemicsconsortium.org/>) toolkit for outbreak analysis.
Computation of an estimation of the long-memory parameters and the long-run covariance matrix using a multivariate model (Lobato (1999) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(98)00038-4>; Shimotsu (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2006.01.003>). Two semi-parametric methods are implemented: a Fourier based approach (Shimotsu (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2006.01.003>) and a wavelet based approach (Achard and Gannaz (2016) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12170>).
Utility functions for mutational signature analysis as described in Alexandrov, L. B. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41586-020-1943-3>. This package provides two groups of functions. One is for dealing with mutational signature "exposures" (i.e. the counts of mutations in a sample that are due to each mutational signature). The other group of functions is for matching or comparing sets of mutational signatures. mSigTools stands for mutational Signature analysis Tools.
Interface to the Nomis database (<https://www.nomisweb.co.uk>), a comprehensive resource of United Kingdom labour market statistics provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Facilitates programmatic access to census data, labour force surveys, benefit statistics, and socioeconomic indicators through a modern HTTP client with intelligent caching, automatic query pagination, and tidy data principles. Includes spatial data integration, interactive helpers, and visualization utilities. Independent implementation unaffiliated with ONS or Durham University.
Enhanced RTF wrapper written in R for use with existing R tables packages such as Huxtable or GT'. This package fills a gap where tables in certain packages can be written out to RTF, but cannot add certain metadata or features to the document that are required/expected in a report for a regulatory submission, such as multiple levels of titles and footnotes, making the document landscape, and controlling properties such as margins.
Psychometric mixture models based on flexmix infrastructure. At the moment Rasch mixture models with different parameterizations of the score distribution (saturated vs. mean/variance specification), Bradley-Terry mixture models, and MPT mixture models are implemented. These mixture models can be estimated with or without concomitant variables. See Frick et al. (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i07> and Frick et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/0013164414536183> for details on the Rasch mixture models.
We implement an adaptation of Jiang & Zeng's (1995) <https://www.genetics.org/content/140/3/1111> likelihood ratio test for testing the null hypothesis of pleiotropy against the alternative hypothesis, two separate quantitative trait loci. The test differs from that in Jiang & Zeng (1995) <https://www.genetics.org/content/140/3/1111> and that in Tian et al. (2016) <doi:10.1534/genetics.115.183624> in that our test accommodates multiparental populations.
Obtain parameters of Svensson's Method, including percentage agreement, systematic change and individual change. Also, the contingency table can be generated. Svensson's Method is a rank-invariant nonparametric method for the analysis of ordered scales which measures the level of change both from systematic and individual aspects. For the details, please refer to Svensson E. Analysis of systematic and random differences between paired ordinal categorical data [dissertation]. Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksell International; 1993.
Generate synthetic time series from commonly used statistical models, including linear, nonlinear and chaotic systems. Applications to testing methods can be found in Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.advwatres.2019.103430> and Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2020) <doi:10.1029/2019WR026962> associated with an open-source tool by Jiang, Z., Rashid, M. M., Johnson, F., & Sharma, A. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2020.104907>.
Implementation of the BLEU-Score in C++ to evaluate the quality of generated text. The BLEU-Score, introduced by Papineni et al. (2002) <doi:10.3115/1073083.1073135>, is a metric for evaluating the quality of generated text. It is based on the n-gram overlap between the generated text and reference texts. Additionally, the package provides some smoothing methods as described in Chen and Cherry (2014) <doi:10.3115/v1/W14-3346>.
The steepness package computes steepness as a property of dominance hierarchies. Steepness is defined as the absolute slope of the straight line fitted to the normalized David's scores. The normalized David's scores can be obtained on the basis of dyadic dominance indices corrected for chance or by means of proportions of wins. Given an observed sociomatrix, it computes hierarchy's steepness and estimates statistical significance by means of a randomization test.
This package provides functions for preparing and analyzing animal tracking data, with the intention of identifying areas which are potentially important at the population level and therefore of conservation interest. Areas identified using this package may be checked against global or regionally-defined criteria, such as those set by the Key Biodiversity Area program. The method published herein is described in full in Beal et al. 2021 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13713>.
ATAC-seq, an assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing, is a rapid and sensitive method for chromatin accessibility analysis. It was developed as an alternative method to MNase-seq, FAIRE-seq and DNAse-seq. The ATACseqQC package was developed to help users to quickly assess whether their ATAC-seq experiment is successful. It includes diagnostic plots of fragment size distribution, proportion of mitochondria reads, nucleosome positioning pattern, and CTCF or other Transcript Factor footprints.
This package provides a set of tools for making TxDb objects from genomic annotations from various sources (e.g. UCSC, Ensembl, and GFF files). These tools allow the user to download the genomic locations of transcripts, exons, and CDS, for a given assembly, and to import them in a TxDb object. TxDb objects are implemented in the GenomicFeatures package, together with flexible methods for extracting the desired features in convenient formats.
