The function generates and plots random snowflakes. Each snowflake is defined by a given diameter, width of the crystal, color, and random seed. Snowflakes are plotted in such way that they always remain round, no matter what the aspect ratio of the plot is. Snowflakes can be created using transparent colors, which creates a more interesting, somewhat realistic, image. Images of the snowflakes can be separately saved as svg files and used in websites as static or animated images.

Generates multiple imputed datasets from a substantive model compatible fully conditional specification model for time-to-event data. Our method assumes that the censoring process also depends on the covariates with missing values. Details will be available in an upcoming publication.

Decision support tool for prioritizing sites for ecological surveys based on their potential to improve plans for conserving biodiversity (e.g. plans for establishing protected areas). Given a set of sites that could potentially be acquired for conservation management, it can be used to generate and evaluate plans for surveying additional sites. Specifically, plans for ecological surveys can be generated using various conventional approaches (e.g. maximizing expected species richness, geographic coverage, diversity of sampled environmental algorithms. After generating such survey plans, they can be evaluated using conditions) and maximizing value of information. Please note that several functions depend on the Gurobi optimization software (available from <https://www.gurobi.com>). Additionally, the JAGS software (available from <https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/>) is required to fit hierarchical generalized linear models. For further details, see Hanson et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/1365-2664.14309>.

This package provides functions and data sets inspired by data sharpening - data perturbation to achieve improved performance in nonparametric estimation, as described in Choi, E., Hall, P. and Rousson, V. (2000). Capabilities for enhanced local linear regression function and derivative estimation are included, as well as an asymptotically correct iterated data sharpening estimator for any degree of local polynomial regression estimation. A cross-validation-based bandwidth selector is included which, in concert with the iterated sharpener, will often provide superior performance, according to a median integrated squared error criterion. Sample data sets are provided to illustrate function usage.

This package provides a simple package facilitating ML based analysis for physics education research (PER) purposes. The implemented machine learning technique is random forest optimized by item response theory (IRT) for feature selection and genetic algorithm (GA) for hyperparameter tuning. The data analyzed here has been made available in the CRAN repository through the spheredata package. The SPHERE stands for Students Performance in Physics Education Research (PER). The students are the eleventh graders learning physics at the high school curriculum. We follow the stream of multidimensional students assessment as probed by some research based assessments in PER. The goal is to predict the students performance at the end of the learning process. Three learning domains are measured including conceptual understanding, scientific ability, and scientific attitude. Furthermore, demographic backgrounds and potential variables predicting students performance on physics are also demonstrated.

This package provides functions to perform most of the common analysis in genome association studies are implemented. These analyses include descriptive statistics and exploratory analysis of missing values, calculation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, analysis of association based on generalized linear models (either for quantitative or binary traits), and analysis of multiple SNPs (haplotype and epistasis analysis). Permutation test and related tests (sum statistic and truncated product) are also implemented. Max-statistic and genetic risk-allele score exact distributions are also possible to be estimated. The methods are described in Gonzalez JR et al., 2007 <doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btm025>.

Inference techniques for Fay Herriot Model.

Spatio-temporal change of support (STCOS) methods are designed for statistical inference on geographic and time domains which differ from those on which the data were observed. In particular, a parsimonious class of STCOS models supporting Gaussian outcomes was introduced by Bradley, Wikle, and Holan <doi:10.1002/sta4.94>. The stcos package contains tools which facilitate use of STCOS models.
