Data that are collected through online sources such as Mechanical Turk may require excluding rows because of IP address duplication, geolocation, or completion duration. This package facilitates exclusion of these data for Qualtrics datasets.

This package performs frequentist inference for the extremal index of a stationary time series. Two types of methodology are used. One type is based on a model that relates the distribution of block maxima to the marginal distribution of series and leads to the semiparametric maxima estimators described in Northrop (2015) <doi:10.1007/s10687-015-0221-5> and Berghaus and Bucher (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-AOS1621>. Sliding block maxima are used to increase precision of estimation. A graphical block size diagnostic is provided. The other type of methodology uses a model for the distribution of threshold inter-exceedance times (Ferro and Segers (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00401>). Three versions of this type of approach are provided: the iterated weight least squares approach of Suveges (2007) <doi:10.1007/s10687-007-0034-2>, the K-gaps model of Suveges and Davison (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS292> and a similar approach of Holesovsky and Fusek (2020) <doi:10.1007/s10687-020-00374-3> that we refer to as D-gaps. For the K-gaps and D-gaps models this package allows missing values in the data, can accommodate independent subsets of data, such as monthly or seasonal time series from different years, and can incorporate information from right-censored inter-exceedance times. Graphical diagnostics for the threshold level and the respective tuning parameters K and D are provided.

In personalized medicine, one wants to know, for a given patient and his or her outcome for a predictor (pre-treatment variable), how likely it is that a treatment will be more beneficial than an alternative treatment. This package allows for the quantification of the predictive causal association (i.e., the association between the predictor variable and the individual causal effect of the treatment) and related metrics. Part of this software has been developed using funding provided from the European Union's 7th Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under Grant Agreement no 602552.

This is an R package implementing the epidemic volatility index (EVI), as discussed by Kostoulas et. al. (2021) and variations by Pateras et. al. (2023). EVI is a new, conceptually simple, early warning tool for oncoming epidemic waves. EVI is based on the volatility of newly reported cases per unit of time, ideally per day, and issues an early warning when the volatility change rate exceeds a threshold.

The US EPA ECOTOX database is a freely available database with a treasure of aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicological data. As the online search interface doesn't come with an API, this package provides the means to easily access and search the database in R. To this end, all raw tables are downloaded from the EPA website and stored in a local SQLite database <doi:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143078>.

This package implements the methods of McGrath et al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280219889080> and Cai et al. (2021) <doi:10.1177/09622802211047348> for estimating the sample mean and standard deviation from commonly reported quantiles in meta-analysis. These methods can be applied to studies that report the sample median, sample size, and one or both of (i) the sample minimum and maximum values and (ii) the first and third quartiles. The corresponding standard error estimators described by McGrath et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221139233> are also included.

Maximum likelihood estimation of nonlinear mixed effects models of epidemic growth using Template Model Builder ('TMB'). Enables joint estimation for collections of disease incidence time series, including time series that describe multiple epidemic waves. Supports a set of widely used phenomenological models: exponential, logistic, Richards (generalized logistic), subexponential, and Gompertz. Provides methods for interrogating model objects and several auxiliary functions, including one for computing basic reproduction numbers from fitted values of the initial exponential growth rate. Preliminary versions of this software were applied in Ma et al. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11538-013-9918-2> and in Earn et al. (2020) <doi:10.1073/pnas.2004904117>.

This package provides a small collection of datasets supporting Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis. It includes the precomputed dataset sos100', with integer values summing to zero and squared sum equal to 100. For other values of n and user-defined parameters, the sos() function from the exams.forge package can be used to generate datasets on the fly. In addition, the package contains around 500 german R Markdown exercises that illustrate the usage of exams.forge commands.

The summation notation suggested by Einstein (1916) <doi:10.1002/andp.19163540702> is a concise mathematical notation that implicitly sums over repeated indices of n-dimensional arrays. Many ordinary matrix operations (e.g. transpose, matrix multiplication, scalar product, diag()', trace etc.) can be written using Einstein notation. The notation is particularly convenient for expressing operations on arrays with more than two dimensions because the respective operators ('tensor products') might not have a standardized name.

Set of functions to keep track and find objects in user-defined environments by identifying environments by name --which cannot be retrieved with the built-in function environmentName(). The package also provides functionality to obtain simplified information about function calling chains and to get an object's memory address.

Expert Algorithm Verbal Autopsy assigns causes of death to 2016 WHO Verbal Autopsy Questionnaire data. odk2EAVA() converts data to a standard input format for cause of death determination building on the work of Thomas (2021) <https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/CrossVA/>. codEAVA() uses the presence and absence of signs and symptoms reported in the Verbal Autopsy interview to diagnose common causes of death. A deterministic algorithm assigns a single cause of death to each Verbal Autopsy interview record using a hierarchy of all common causes for neonates or children 1 to 59 months of age.

Testing for parallel trends is crucial in the Difference-in-Differences framework. To this end, this package performs equivalence testing in the context of Difference-in-Differences estimation. It allows users to test if pre-treatment trends in the treated group are â equivalentâ to those in the control group. Here, â equivalenceâ means that rejection of the null hypothesis implies that a function of the pre-treatment placebo effects (maximum absolute, average or root mean squared value) does not exceed a pre-specified threshold below which trend differences are considered negligible. The package is based on the theory developed in Dette & Schumann (2024) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2024.2308121>.

Do data management functions common in real-time monitoring (also called: ecological momentary assessment, experience sampling, micro-longitudinal) data, including creating power curves for multilevel data, centering on participant means and merging event-level data into momentary data sets where you need the events to correspond to the nearest data point in the momentary data. For background on this data type see Shiffman, Stone and Hufford (2008) <doi:10.1146/annurev.clinpsy.3.022806.091415>, and on the centering methods see Enders and Tofighi (2007) <doi:10.1037/1082-989X.12.2.121>. This is VERY early release software, and more features will be added over time.
