Functions, data sets and shiny apps for "Epidemics: Models and Data in R" by Ottar N. Bjornstad (ISBN 978-3-319-97487-3) <https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319974866>. The package contains functions to study the S(E)IR model, spatial and age-structured SIR models; time-series SIR and chain-binomial stochastic models; catalytic disease models; coupled map lattice models of spatial transmission and network models for social spread of infection. The package is also an advanced quantitative companion to the coursera Epidemics Massive Online Open Course <https://www.coursera.org/learn/epidemics>.

This package provides discrete and continuous color palettes derived from the album cover artwork of each Taylor Swift Era. Each palette ships with a curated order-of-use so that smaller discrete subsets remain harmonious, and supports continuous interpolation via grDevices::colorRampPalette() for arbitrary n'. Designed to plug into ggplot2 workflows through standard manual and gradient scales.

The goal of this package is to provide an easy to use, fast and scalable exhaustive search framework. Exhaustive feature selections typically require a very large number of models to be fitted and evaluated. Execution speed and memory management are crucial factors here. This package provides solutions for both. Execution speed is optimized by using a multi-threaded C++ backend, and memory issues are solved by by only storing the best results during execution and thus keeping memory usage constant.

Genetic predisposition for complex traits is often manifested through multiple tissues of interest at different time points in the development. As an example, the genetic predisposition for obesity could be manifested through inherited variants that control metabolism through regulation of genes expressed in the brain and/or through the control of fat storage in the adipose tissue by dysregulation of genes expressed in adipose tissue. We present a method eGST (eQTL-based genetic subtyper) that integrates tissue-specific eQTLs with GWAS data for a complex trait to probabilistically assign a tissue of interest to the phenotype of each individual in the study. eGST estimates the posterior probability that an individual's phenotype can be assigned to a tissue based on individual-level genotype data of tissue-specific eQTLs and marginal phenotype data in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) cohort. Under a Bayesian framework of mixture model, eGST employs a maximum a posteriori (MAP) expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate the tissue-specific posterior probability across individuals.

An extended epidemiological modelling framework that goes beyond the classical SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) model. Supports SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered), SEIRD (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered-Deceased), SVEIRD (Susceptible-Vaccinated-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered-Deceased), and age-stratified compartmental models with flexible intervention functions (spline-based, Gaussian process, or user-defined). Inference is available via maximum likelihood or sequential Monte Carlo (SMC, also known as particle filtering) with no external binary dependencies. Includes a dependency-free real-time effective reproduction number (Rt) estimator, spatial multi-patch models with gravity-model mobility, ensemble forecasting via Bayesian model averaging (BMA), and proper scoring rules including CRPS (Continuous Ranked Probability Score), coverage, and MAE (Mean Absolute Error) for forecast evaluation.

Univariate and multivariate methods for compositional data analysis, based on logratios. The package implements the approach in the book Compositional Data Analysis in Practice by Michael Greenacre (2018), where accent is given to simple pairwise logratios. Selection can be made of logratios that account for a maximum percentage of logratio variance. Various multivariate analyses of logratios are included in the package.

It provides theoretical results and also estimated values based on Monte Carlo simulations. It is also possible to consider random data and ACK probabilities.

Computes empirical Bayes confidence estimators and confidence intervals in a normal means model. The intervals are robust in the sense that they achieve correct coverage regardless of the distribution of the means. If the means are treated as fixed, the intervals have an average coverage guarantee. The implementation is based on Armstrong, Kolesár and Plagborg-Møller (2020) <arXiv:2004.03448>.

Analysis of elliptical tubes with applications in biological modeling. The package is based on the references: Taheri, M., Pizer, S. M., & Schulz, J. (2024) "The Mean Shape under the Relative Curvature Condition." Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics <doi:10.1080/10618600.2025.2535600> and arXiv <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.01043>. Mohsen Taheri Shalmani (2024) "Shape Statistics via Skeletal Structures", PhD Thesis, University of Stavanger, Norway <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.34500.23685>. Key features include constructing discrete elliptical tubes, calculating transformations, validating structures under the Relative Curvature Condition (RCC), computing means, and generating simulations. Supports intrinsic and non-intrinsic mean calculations and transformations, size estimation, plotting, and random sample generation based on a reference tube. The intrinsic approach relies on the interior path of the original non-convex space, incorporating the RCC, while the non-intrinsic approach uses a basic robotic arm transformation that disregards the RCC.
