Kiener distributions K1, K2, K3, K4 and K7 to characterize distributions with left and right, symmetric or asymmetric fat tails in finance, neuroscience and other disciplines. Two algorithms to estimate the distribution parameters, quantiles, value-at-risk and expected shortfall. IMPORTANT: Standardization has been changed in versions >= 2.0.0 to get sd = 1 when kappa = Inf rather than 2*pi/sqrt(3) in versions <= 1.8.6. This affects parameter g (other parameters stay unchanged). Do not update if you need consistent comparisons with previous results for the g parameter.

Make R scripts reproducible, by ensuring that every time a given script is run, the same version of the used packages are loaded (instead of whichever version the user running the script happens to have installed). This is achieved by using the command groundhog.library() instead of the base command library(), and including a date in the call. The date is used to call on the same version of the package every time (the most recent version available at that date). Load packages from CRAN, GitHub, or Gitlab.

Guided partial least squares (guided-PLS) is the combination of partial least squares by singular value decomposition (PLS-SVD) and guided principal component analysis (guided-PCA). This package provides implementations of PLS-SVD, guided-PLS, and guided-PCA for supervised dimensionality reduction. The guided-PCA function (new in v1.1.0) automatically handles mixed data types (continuous and categorical) in the supervision matrix and provides detailed contribution analysis for interpretability. For the details of the methods, see the reference section of GitHub README.md <https://github.com/rikenbit/guidedPLS>.

This package provides a collection of functions for working with time series data, including functions for drawing, decomposing, and forecasting. Includes capabilities to compare multiple series and fit both additive and multiplicative models. Used by iNZight', a graphical user interface providing easy exploration and visualisation of data for students of statistics, available in both desktop and online versions. Holt (1957) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2003.09.015>, Winters (1960) <doi:10.1287/mnsc.6.3.324>, Cleveland, Cleveland, & Terpenning (1990) "STL: A Seasonal-Trend Decomposition Procedure Based on Loess".

Quantify the causal effect of a binary exposure on a binary outcome with adjustment for multiple biases. The functions can simultaneously adjust for any combination of uncontrolled confounding, exposure/outcome misclassification, and selection bias. The underlying method generalizes the concept of combining inverse probability of selection weighting with predictive value weighting. Simultaneous multi-bias analysis can be used to enhance the validity and transparency of real-world evidence obtained from observational, longitudinal studies. Based on the work from Paul Brendel, Aracelis Torres, and Onyebuchi Arah (2023) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyad001>.

Optimal scaling of a data vector, relative to a set of targets, is obtained through a least-squares transformation subject to appropriate measurement constraints. The targets are usually predicted values from a statistical model. If the data are nominal level, then the transformation must be identity-preserving. If the data are ordinal level, then the transformation must be monotonic. If the data are discrete, then tied data values must remain tied in the optimal transformation. If the data are continuous, then tied data values can be untied in the optimal transformation.

Computation and visualization of Taxicab Correspondence Analysis, Choulakian (2006) <doi:10.1007/s11336-004-1231-4>. Classical correspondence analysis (CA) is a statistical method to analyse 2-dimensional tables of positive numbers and is typically applied to contingency tables (Benzecri, J.-P. (1973). L'Analyse des Donnees. Volume II. L'Analyse des Correspondances. Paris, France: Dunod). Classical CA is based on the Euclidean distance. Taxicab CA is like classical CA but is based on the Taxicab or Manhattan distance. For some tables, Taxicab CA gives more informative results than classical CA.

This package provides functions for importing external vector images and drawing them as part of R plots. This package is different from the grImport package because, where that package imports PostScript format images, this package imports SVG format images. Furthermore, this package imports a specific subset of SVG, so external images must be preprocessed using a package like rsvg to produce SVG that this package can import. SVG features that are not supported by R graphics, such as gradient fills, can be imported and then exported via the gridSVG package.

This package provides a Shiny app for visual exploration of omic datasets as compositions, and differential abundance analysis using ALDEx2. Useful for exploring RNA-seq, meta-RNA-seq, 16s rRNA gene sequencing with visualizations such as principal component analysis biplots (coloured using metadata for visualizing each variable), dendrograms and stacked bar plots, and effect plots (ALDEx2). Input is a table of counts and metadata file (if metadata exists), with options to filter data by count or by metadata to remove low counts, or to visualize select samples according to selected metadata.

SpotClean is a computational method to adjust for spot swapping in spatial transcriptomics data. Recent spatial transcriptomics experiments utilize slides containing thousands of spots with spot-specific barcodes that bind mRNA. Ideally, unique molecular identifiers at a spot measure spot-specific expression, but this is often not the case due to bleed from nearby spots, an artifact we refer to as spot swapping. SpotClean is able to estimate the contamination rate in observed data and decontaminate the spot swapping effect, thus increase the sensitivity and precision of downstream analyses.

This package implements two complementary high-dimensional feature screening methods, Adaptive Iterative Ridge High-dimensional Ordinary Least-squares Projection (Air-HOLP, suitable when the number of predictors p is greater than or equal to the sample size n) and Adaptive Iterative Ridge Ordinary Least Squares (Air-OLS, for n greater than p). Also provides helper functions to generate compound-symmetry and AR(1) correlated data, plus a unified Air() front end and a summary method. For methodological details see Joudah, Muller and Zhu (2025) <doi:10.1007/s11222-025-10599-6>.

This package provides Partial least squares Regression and various regular, sparse or kernel, techniques for fitting Cox models for big data. Provides a Partial Least Squares (PLS) algorithm adapted to Cox proportional hazards models that works with bigmemory matrices without loading the entire dataset in memory. Also implements a gradient-descent based solver for Cox proportional hazards models that works directly on bigmemory matrices. Bertrand and Maumy (2023) <https://hal.science/hal-05352069>, and <https://hal.science/hal-05352061> highlighted fitting and cross-validating PLS-based Cox models to censored big data.

Generates confidence intervals for standardized regression coefficients using delta method standard errors for models fitted by lm() as described in Yuan and Chan (2011) <doi:10.1007/s11336-011-9224-6> and Jones and Waller (2015) <doi:10.1007/s11336-013-9380-y>. The package can also be used to generate confidence intervals for differences of standardized regression coefficients and as a general approach to performing the delta method. A description of the package and code examples are presented in Pesigan, Sun, and Cheung (2023) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2023.2201277>.

Typical morphological profiling datasets have millions of cells and hundreds of features per cell. When working with this data, you must clean the data, normalize the features to make them comparable across experiments, transform the features, select features based on their quality, and aggregate the single-cell data, if needed. cytominer makes these steps fast and easy. Methods used in practice in the field are discussed in Caicedo (2017) <doi:10.1038/nmeth.4397>. An overview of the field is presented in Caicedo (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.copbio.2016.04.003>.

Extensions such as autoregressive DCTMs (Ruegamer et al, 2023, <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10212-8>) and transformation ensembles (Kook et al, 2022, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2205.12729>) are implemented. The software package is described in Kook et al (2024, <doi:10.18637/jss.v111.i10>).

We provide a comprehensive software to estimate general K-stage DTRs from SMARTs with Q-learning and a variety of outcome-weighted learning methods. Penalizations are allowed for variable selection and model regularization. With the outcome-weighted learning scheme, different loss functions - SVM hinge loss, SVM ramp loss, binomial deviance loss, and L2 loss - are adopted to solve the weighted classification problem at each stage; augmentation in the outcomes is allowed to improve efficiency. The estimated DTR can be easily applied to a new sample for individualized treatment recommendations or DTR evaluation.

This package provides a flexible framework for Agent-Based Models (ABM), the epiworldR package provides methods for prototyping disease outbreaks and transmission models using a C++ backend, making it very fast. It supports multiple epidemiological models, including the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS), Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR), Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR), and others, involving arbitrary mitigation policies and multiple-disease models. Users can specify infectiousness/susceptibility rates as a function of agents features, providing great complexity for the model dynamics. Furthermore, epiworldR is ideal for simulation studies featuring large populations.

Automate the detection of gaps and elevations in mapped sequencing read coverage using a 2D pattern-matching algorithm. ProActive detects, characterizes and visualizes read coverage patterns in both genomes and metagenomes. Optionally, users may provide gene annotations associated with their genome or metagenome in the form of a .gff file. In this case, ProActive will generate an additional output table containing the gene annotations found within the detected regions of gapped and elevated read coverage. Additionally, users can search for gene annotations of interest in the output read coverage plots.

Machine learning provides algorithms that can learn from data and make inferences or predictions. Stochastic automata is a class of input/output devices which can model components. This work provides implementation an inference algorithm for stochastic automata which is similar to the Viterbi algorithm. Moreover, we specify a learning algorithm using the expectation-maximization technique and provide a more efficient implementation of the Baum-Welch algorithm for stochastic automata. This work is based on Inference and learning in stochastic automata was by Karl-Heinz Zimmermann(2017) <doi:10.12732/ijpam.v115i3.15>.

Data exploration and modelling is a process in which a lot of data artifacts are produced. Artifacts like: subsets, data aggregates, plots, statistical models, different versions of data sets and different versions of results. Archivist helps to store and manage artifacts created in R. It allows you to store selected artifacts as binary files together with their metadata and relations. Archivist allows sharing artifacts with others. It can look for already created artifacts by using its class, name, date of the creation or other properties. It also makes it easy to restore such artifacts.
