This package provides a simple approach to measure political sophistication based on open-ended survey responses. Discursive sophistication captures the complexity of individual attitude expression by quantifying its relative size, range, and constraint. For more information on the measurement approach see: Kraft, Patrick W. 2023. "Women Also Know Stuff: Challenging the Gender Gap in Political Sophistication."

In practice, we will encounter problems where the longitudinal performance of processes needs to be monitored over time. Dynamic screening systems (DySS) are methods that aim to identify and give signals to processes with poor performance as early as possible. This package is designed to implement dynamic screening systems and the related methods. References: Qiu, P. and Xiang, D. (2014) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2013.822423>; Qiu, P. and Xiang, D.

Improves the balance of optimal matching with near-fine balance by giving penalties on the unbalanced covariates with the unbalanced directions. Many directional penalties can also be viewed as Lagrange multipliers, pushing a matched sample in the direction of satisfying a linear constraint that would not be satisfied without penalization. Yu and Rosenbaum (2019) <doi:10.1111/biom.13098>.

This package provides functions that offer seamless D3Plus integration. The examples provided here are taken from the official D3Plus website <http://d3plus.org>.

Includes functions for the construction of matched samples that are balanced and representative by design. Among others, these functions can be used for matching in observational studies with treated and control units, with cases and controls, in related settings with instrumental variables, and in discontinuity designs. Also, they can be used for the design of randomized experiments, for example, for matching before randomization. By default, designmatch uses the highs optimization solver, but its performance is greatly enhanced by the Gurobi optimization solver and its associated R interface. For their installation, please follow the instructions at <https://www.gurobi.com/getting-started/> and <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r/setup.html>. We have also included directions in the gurobi_installation file in the inst folder.

The rapid development of single-cell transcriptomic technologies has helped uncover the cellular heterogeneity within cell populations. However, bulk RNA-seq continues to be the main workhorse for quantifying gene expression levels due to technical simplicity and low cost. To most effectively extract information from bulk data given the new knowledge gained from single-cell methods, we have developed a novel algorithm to estimate the cell-type composition of bulk data from a single-cell RNA-seq-derived cell-type signature. Comparison with existing methods using various real RNA-seq data sets indicates that our new approach is more accurate and comprehensive than previous methods, especially for the estimation of rare cell types. More importantly,our method can detect cell-type composition changes in response to external perturbations, thereby providing a valuable, cost-effective method for dissecting the cell-type-specific effects of drug treatments or condition changes. As such, our method is applicable to a wide range of biological and clinical investigations. Dampened weighted least squares ('DWLS') is an estimation method for gene expression deconvolution, in which the cell-type composition of a bulk RNA-seq data set is computationally inferred. This method corrects common biases towards cell types that are characterized by highly expressed genes and/or are highly prevalent, to provide accurate detection across diverse cell types. See: <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-10802-z.pdf> for more information about the development of DWLS and the methods behind our functions.

This package provides a suite of tools are provided here to support authors in making their research more discoverable. check_keywords() - this function checks the keywords to assess whether they are already represented in the title and abstract. check_fields() - this function compares terminology used across the title, abstract and keywords to assess where terminological diversity (i.e. the use of synonyms) could increase the likelihood of the record being identified in a search. The function looks for terms in the title and abstract that also exist in other fields and highlights these as needing attention. suggest_keywords() - this function takes a full text document and produces a list of unigrams, bigrams and trigrams (1-, 2- or 2-word phrases) present in the full text after removing stop words (words with a low utility in natural language processing) that do not occur in the title or abstract that may be suitable candidates for keywords. suggest_title() - this function takes a full text document and produces a list of the most frequently used unigrams, bigrams and trigrams after removing stop words that do not occur in the abstract or keywords that may be suitable candidates for title words. check_title() - this function carries out a number of sub tasks: 1) it compares the length (number of words) of the title with the mean length of titles in major bibliographic databases to assess whether the title is likely to be too short; 2) it assesses the proportion of stop words in the title to highlight titles with low utility in search engines that strip out stop words; 3) it compares the title with a given sample of record titles from an .ris import and calculates a similarity score based on phrase overlap. This highlights the level of uniqueness of the title. This version of the package also contains functions currently in a non-CRAN package called litsearchr <https://github.com/elizagrames/litsearchr>.

This package provides a software package for using DEXi models. DEXi models are hierarchical qualitative multi-criteria decision models developed according to the method DEX (Decision EXpert, <https://dex.ijs.si/documentation/DEX_Method/DEX_Method.html>), using the program DEXi (<https://kt.ijs.si/MarkoBohanec/dexi.html>) or DEXiWin (<https://dex.ijs.si/dexisuite/dexiwin.html>). A typical workflow with DEXiR consists of: (1) reading a .dxi file, previously made using the DEXi software (function read_dexi()), (2) making a data frame containing input values of one or more decision alternatives, (3) evaluating those alternatives (function evaluate()), (4) analyzing alternatives (selective_explanation(), plus_minus(), compare_alternatives()), (5) drawing charts. DEXiR is restricted to using models produced externally by the DEXi software and does not provide functionality for creating and/or editing DEXi models directly in R'.
