This package provides functionality for calculating pregnancy-related dates and tracking medications during pregnancy and fertility treatment. Calculates due dates from various starting points including last menstrual period and IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) transfer dates, determines pregnancy progress on any given date, and identifies when specific pregnancy weeks are reached. Includes medication tracking capabilities for individuals undergoing fertility treatment or during pregnancy, allowing users to monitor remaining doses and quantities needed over specified time periods. Designed for those tracking their own pregnancies or supporting partners through the process, making use of options to personalise output messages. For details on due date calculations, see <https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2017/05/methods-for-estimating-the-due-date>.

Sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) attempts to find sparse weight vectors (loadings), i.e., a weight vector with only a few active (nonzero) values. This approach provides better interpretability for the principal components in high-dimensional data settings. This is, because the principal components are formed as a linear combination of only a few of the original variables. This package provides efficient routines to compute SPCA. Specifically, a variable projection solver is used to compute the sparse solution. In addition, a fast randomized accelerated SPCA routine and a robust SPCA routine is provided. Robust SPCA allows to capture grossly corrupted entries in the data. The methods are discussed in detail by N. Benjamin Erichson et al. (2018) <arXiv:1804.00341>.

Estimates time varying regression effects under Cox type models in survival data using classification and regression tree. The codes in this package were originally written in S-Plus for the paper "Survival Analysis with Time-Varying Regression Effects Using a Tree-Based Approach," by Xu, R. and Adak, S. (2002) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2002.00305.x>, Biometrics, 58: 305-315. Development of this package was supported by NIH grants AG053983 and AG057707, and by the UCSD Altman Translational Research Institute, NIH grant UL1TR001442. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the NIH. The example data are from the Honolulu Heart Program/Honolulu Asia Aging Study (HHP/HAAS).

This package provides multiple water chemistry-based models and published empirical models in one standard format. As many models have been included as possible, however, users should be aware that models have varying degrees of accuracy and applicability. To learn more, read the references provided below for the models implemented. Functions can be chained together to model a complete treatment process and are designed to work in a tidyverse workflow. Models are primarily based on these sources: Benjamin, M. M. (2002, ISBN:147862308X), Crittenden, J. C., Trussell, R., Hand, D., Howe, J. K., & Tchobanoglous, G., Borchardt, J. H. (2012, ISBN:9781118131473), USEPA. (2001) <https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2017-03/documents/wtp_model_v._2.0_manual_508.pdf>.

Processing collections of Earth observation images as on-demand multispectral, multitemporal raster data cubes. Users define cubes by spatiotemporal extent, resolution, and spatial reference system and let gdalcubes automatically apply cropping, reprojection, and resampling using the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library ('GDAL'). Implemented functions on data cubes include reduction over space and time, applying arithmetic expressions on pixel band values, moving window aggregates over time, filtering by space, time, bands, and predicates on pixel values, exporting data cubes as netCDF or GeoTIFF files, plotting, and extraction from spatial and or spatiotemporal features. All computational parts are implemented in C++, linking to the GDAL', netCDF', CURL', and SQLite libraries. See Appel and Pebesma (2019) <doi:10.3390/data4030092> for further details.

This package provides an extension to ggplot2 (Wickham, 2016, <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-24277-4>) for creating two types of continuous confidence interval plots (Violin CI and Gradient CI plots), typically for the sample mean. These plots contain multiple user-defined confidence areas with varying colours, defined by the underlying t-distribution used to compute standard confidence intervals for the mean of the normal distribution when the variance is unknown. Two types of plots are available, a gradient plot with rectangular areas, and a violin plot where the shape (horizontal width) is defined by the probability density function of the t-distribution. These visualizations are studied in (Helske, Helske, Cooper, Ynnerman, and Besancon, 2021) <doi:10.1109/TVCG.2021.3073466>.

In the omics data association studies, it is common to conduct the p-value corrections to control the false significance. Beyond the P-value corrections, E-value is recently studied to facilitate multiple testing correction based on V. Vovk and R. Wang (2021) <doi:10.1214/20-AOS2020>. This package provides E-value calculation for DNA methylation data and RNA-seq data. Currently, five data formats are supported: DNA methylation levels using DMR detection tools (BiSeq, DMRfinder, MethylKit, Metilene and other DNA methylation tools) and RNA-seq data. The relevant references are listed below: Katja Hebestreit and Hans-Ulrich Klein (2022) <doi:10.18129/B9.bioc.BiSeq>; Altuna Akalin et.al (2012) <doi:10.18129/B9.bioc.methylKit>.

Generates LaTeX code for drawing well-formatted neural network diagrams with TikZ'. Users have to define number of neurons on each layer, and optionally define neuron connections they would like to keep or omit, layers they consider to be oversized and neurons they would like to draw with lighter color. They can also specify the title of diagram, color, opacity of figure, labels of layers, input and output neurons. In addition, this package helps to produce LaTeX code for drawing activation functions which are crucial in neural network analysis. To make the code work in a LaTeX editor, users need to install and import some TeX packages including TikZ in the setting of TeX file.

Survey sampling using permanent random numbers (PRN's). A solution to the problem of unknown overlap between survey samples, which leads to a low precision in estimates when the survey is repeated or combined with other surveys. The PRN solution is to supply the U(0, 1) random numbers to the sampling procedure, instead of having the sampling procedure generate them. In Lindblom (2014) <doi:10.2478/jos-2014-0047>, and therein cited papers, it is shown how this is carried out and how it improves the estimates. This package supports two common fixed-size sampling procedures (simple random sampling and probability-proportional-to-size sampling) and includes a function for transforming the PRN's in order to control the sample overlap.

The Poverty Probability Index (PPI) is a poverty measurement tool for organizations and businesses with a mission to serve the poor. The PPI is statistically-sound, yet simple to use: the answers to 10 questions about a household's characteristics and asset ownership are scored to compute the likelihood that the household is living below the poverty line - or above by only a narrow margin. This package contains country-specific lookup data tables used as reference to determine the poverty likelihood of a household based on their score from the country-specific PPI questionnaire. These lookup tables have been extracted from documentation of the PPI found at <https://www.povertyindex.org> and managed by Innovations for Poverty Action <https://poverty-action.org/>.

This package provides a toolkit for analysis and visualization of data from fluorophore-assisted seed amplification assays, such as Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion (RT-QuIC) and Fluorophore-Assisted Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification (PMCA). QuICSeedR addresses limitations in existing software by automating data processing, supporting large-scale analysis, and enabling comparative studies of analysis methods. It incorporates methods described in Henderson et al. (2015) <doi:10.1099/vir.0.069906-0>, Li et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-021-96127-8>, Rowden et al. (2023) <doi:10.3390/pathogens12020309>, Haley et al. (2013) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0081488>, and Mair and Wilcox (2020) <doi:10.3758/s13428-019-01246-w>.

An extension of the AlphaSimR package (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=AlphaSimR>) for stochastic simulations of honeybee populations and breeding programmes. SIMplyBee enables simulation of individual bees that form a colony, which includes a queen, fathers (drones the queen mated with), virgin queens, workers, and drones. Multiple colony can be merged into a population of colonies, such as an apiary or a whole country of colonies. Functions enable operations on castes, colony, or colonies, to ease R scripting of whole populations. All AlphaSimR functionality with respect to genomes and genetic and phenotype values is available and further extended for honeybees, including haplo-diploidy, complementary sex determiner locus, colony events (swarming, supersedure, etc.), and colony phenotype values.

This package provides tools to process CBASS-derived PAM data efficiently. Minimal requirements are PAM-based photosynthetic efficiency data (or data from any other continuous variable that changes with temperature, e.g. relative bleaching scores) from 4 coral samples (nubbins) subjected to 4 temperature profiles of at least 2 colonies from 1 coral species from 1 site. Please refer to the following CBASS (Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System) papers for in-depth information regarding CBASS acute thermal stress assays, experimental design considerations, and ED5/ED50/ED95 thermal parameters: Nicolas R. Evensen et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/lom3.10555> Christian R. Voolstra et al. (2020) <doi:10.1111/gcb.15148> Christian R. Voolstra et al. (2025) <doi:10.1146/annurev-marine-032223-024511>.

This package implements the adaptive designs for integrated phase I/II trials of drug combinations via continual reassessment method (CRM) to evaluate toxicity and efficacy simultaneously for each enrolled patient cohort based on Bayesian inference. It supports patients assignment guidance in a single trial using current enrolled data, as well as conducting extensive simulation studies to evaluate operating characteristics before the trial starts. It includes various link functions such as empiric, one-parameter logistic, two-parameter logistic, and hyperbolic tangent, as well as considering multiple prior distributions of the parameters like normal distribution, gamma distribution and exponential distribution to accommodate diverse clinical scenarios. Method using Bayesian framework with empiric link function is described in: Wages and Conaway (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6097>.

Many statistical models and analyses in R are implemented through formula objects. The formulaic package creates a unified approach for programmatically and dynamically generating formula objects. Users may specify the outcome and inputs of a model directly, search for variables to include based upon naming patterns, incorporate interactions, and identify variables to exclude. A wide range of quality checks are implemented to identify issues such as misspecified variables, duplication, a lack of contrast in the inputs, and a large number of levels in categorical data. Variables that do not meet these quality checks can be automatically excluded from the model. These issues are documented and reported in a manner that provides greater accountability and useful information to guide an investigation of the data.

The goal of this package is to cover the most common steps in probability of default (PD) rating model development and validation. The main procedures available are those that refer to univariate, bivariate, multivariate analysis, calibration and validation. Along with accompanied monobin and monobinShiny packages, PDtoolkit provides functions which are suitable for different data transformation and modeling tasks such as: imputations, monotonic binning of numeric risk factors, binning of categorical risk factors, weights of evidence (WoE) and information value (IV) calculations, WoE coding (replacement of risk factors modalities with WoE values), risk factor clustering, area under curve (AUC) calculation and others. Additionally, package provides set of validation functions for testing homogeneity, heterogeneity, discriminatory and predictive power of the model.

Because larger (> 50 MB) data files cannot easily be committed to git, a different approach is required to manage data associated with an analysis in a GitHub repository. This package provides a simple work-around by allowing larger (up to 2 GB) data files to piggyback on a repository as assets attached to individual GitHub releases. These files are not handled by git in any way, but instead are uploaded, downloaded, or edited directly by calls through the GitHub API. These data files can be versioned manually by creating different releases. This approach works equally well with public or private repositories. Data can be uploaded and downloaded programmatically from scripts. No authentication is required to download data from public repositories.

This package implements models of leaf temperature using energy balance. It uses units to ensure that parameters are properly specified and transformed before calculations. It allows separate lower and upper surface conductances to heat and water vapour, so sensible and latent heat loss are calculated for each surface separately as in Foster and Smith (1986) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-3040.1986.tb02108.x>. It's straightforward to model leaf temperature over environmental gradients such as light, air temperature, humidity, and wind. It can also model leaf temperature over trait gradients such as leaf size or stomatal conductance. Other references are Monteith and Unsworth (2013, ISBN:9780123869104), Nobel (2009, ISBN:9780123741431), and Okajima et al. (2012) <doi:10.1007/s11284-011-0905-5>.

Nucleolus is an important structure inside the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. It is the site for transcribing rDNA into rRNA and for assembling ribosomes, aka ribosome biogenesis. In addition, nucleoli are dynamic hubs through which numerous proteins shuttle and contact specific non-rDNA genomic loci. Deep sequencing analyses of DNA associated with isolated nucleoli (NAD- seq) have shown that specific loci, termed nucleolus- associated domains (NADs) form frequent three- dimensional associations with nucleoli. NAD-seq has been used to study the biological functions of NAD and the dynamics of NAD distribution during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Here, we developed a Bioconductor package NADfinder for bioinformatic analysis of the NAD-seq data, including baseline correction, smoothing, normalization, peak calling, and annotation.

We provide functions for identifying the core community phylogeny in any microbiome, drawing phylogenetic Venn diagrams, calculating the core Faithâ s PD for a set of communities, and calculating the core UniFrac distance between two sets of communities. All functions rely on construction of a core community phylogeny, which is a phylogeny where branches are defined based on their presence in multiple samples from a single type of habitat. Our package provides two options for constructing the core community phylogeny, a tip-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of leaf nodes and a branch-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of individual branches. We suggest use of the microViz package.

We develop a novel matrix factorization tool named scINSIGHT to jointly analyze multiple single-cell gene expression samples from biologically heterogeneous sources, such as different disease phases, treatment groups, or developmental stages. Given multiple gene expression samples from different biological conditions, scINSIGHT simultaneously identifies common and condition-specific gene modules and quantify their expression levels in each sample in a lower-dimensional space. With the factorized results, the inferred expression levels and memberships of common gene modules can be used to cluster cells and detect cell identities, and the condition-specific gene modules can help compare functional differences in transcriptomes from distinct conditions. Please also see Qian K, Fu SW, Li HW, Li WV (2022) <doi:10.1186/s13059-022-02649-3>.

CellScape facilitates interactive browsing of single cell clonal evolution datasets. The tool requires two main inputs: (i) the genomic content of each single cell in the form of either copy number segments or targeted mutation values, and (ii) a single cell phylogeny. Phylogenetic formats can vary from dendrogram-like phylogenies with leaf nodes to evolutionary model-derived phylogenies with observed or latent internal nodes. The CellScape phylogeny is flexibly input as a table of source-target edges to support arbitrary representations, where each node may or may not have associated genomic data. The output of CellScape is an interactive interface displaying a single cell phylogeny and a cell-by-locus genomic heatmap representing the mutation status in each cell for each locus.

LINCS L1000 is a high-throughput technology that allows the gene expression measurement in a large number of assays. However, to fit the measurements of ~1000 genes in the ~500 color channels of LINCS L1000, every two landmark genes are designed to share a single channel. Thus, a deconvolution step is required to infer the expression values of each gene. Any errors in this step can be propagated adversely to the downstream analyses. We present a LINCS L1000 data peak calling R package l1kdeconv based on a new outlier detection method and an aggregate Gaussian mixture model. Upon the remove of outliers and the borrowing information among similar samples, l1kdeconv shows more stable and better performance than methods commonly used in LINCS L1000 data deconvolution.
