Application of reinsurance treaties to claims portfolios. The package creates a class Claims whose objective is to store claims and premiums, on which different treaties can be applied. A statistical analysis can then be applied to measure the impact of reinsurance, producing a table or graphical output. This package can be used for estimating the impact of reinsurance on several portfolios or for pricing treaties through statistical analysis. Documentation for the implemented methods can be found in "Reinsurance: Actuarial and Statistical Aspects" by Hansjöerg Albrecher, Jan Beirlant, Jozef L. Teugels (2017, ISBN: 978-0-470-77268-3) and "REINSURANCE: A Basic Guide to Facultative and Treaty Reinsurance" by Munich Re (2010) <https://www.munichre.com/site/mram/get/documents_E96160999/mram/assetpool.mr_america/PDFs/3_Publications/reinsurance_basic_guide.pdf>.
The goal of NicheNet is to study intercellular communication from a computational perspective. NicheNet uses human or mouse gene expression data of interacting cells as input and combines this with a prior model that integrates existing knowledge on ligand-to-target signaling paths. This allows to predict ligand-receptor interactions that might drive gene expression changes in cells of interest.

To estimate parameters by the simplex method, parallel computation using OpenMP application programming interface is available. For more details see Tanaka, Saga and Nakano <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i06>.
Social media sites often embed cards when links are shared, based on metadata in the Open Graph Protocol (<https://ogp.me/>). This supports extracting that metadata from a website. It further allows for the creation of tags to add to a website to support the Open Graph Protocol and provides a list of the standard tags and their required properties.
Ordnance Survey ('OS') is the national mapping agency for Great Britain and produces a large variety of mapping and geospatial products. Much of OS's data is available via the OS Data Hub <https://osdatahub.os.uk/>, a platform that hosts both free and premium data products. osdatahub provides a user-friendly way to access, query, and download these data.
Flexible stochastic tree ensemble software. Robust implementations of Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) Chipman, George, McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285> for supervised learning and Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF) Hahn, Murray, Carvalho (2020) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1195> for causal inference. Enables model serialization and parallel sampling and provides a low-level interface for custom stochastic forest samplers.
Fits semiparametric linear and multilevel models with non-parametric additive Bayesian additive regression tree (BART; Chipman, George, and McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>) components and Stan (Stan Development Team (2021) <https://mc-stan.org/>) sampled parametric ones.

This is a collection of various kinds of data with broad uses for teaching. My students, and academics like me who teach the same topics I teach, should find this useful if their teaching workflow is also built around the R programming language. The applications are multiple but mostly cluster on topics of statistical methodology, international relations, and political economy.
This package provides an implementation of the Sparse ICA method in Wang et al. (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2370593> for estimating sparse independent source components of cortical surface functional MRI data, by addressing a non-smooth, non-convex optimization problem through the relax-and-split framework. This method effectively balances statistical independence and sparsity while maintaining computational efficiency.
This package provides a container for data used by the usmap package. The data used by usmap has been extracted into this package so that the file size of the usmap package can be reduced greatly. The data in this package will be updated roughly once per year as new map data files are provided by the US Census Bureau.

Full model selection (detection of the relevant features and estimation of the number of clusters) for model-based clustering (see reference here <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9670-1>). Data to analyze can be continuous, categorical, integer or mixed. Moreover, missing values can occur and do not necessitate any pre-processing. Shiny application permits an easy interpretation of the results.
The complexity of high-throughput quantitative omics experiments often leads to low replicates numbers and many missing values. We implemented a new test to simultaneously consider missing values and quantitative changes, which we combined with well-performing statistical tests for high confidence detection of differentially regulated features. The package contains functions to run the test and to visualize the results.
Pathifier is an algorithm that infers pathway deregulation scores for each tumor sample on the basis of expression data. This score is determined, in a context-specific manner, for every particular dataset and type of cancer that is being investigated. The algorithm transforms gene-level information into pathway-level information, generating a compact and biologically relevant representation of each sample.
This package provides functions for annotation-agnostic differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data. Two implementations of the DER Finder approach are included in this package:
single base-level F-statistics and
DER identification at the expressed regions-level.
The DER Finder approach can also be used to identify differentially bounded ChIP-seq peaks.
This package provides .C64(), an enhanced version of .C() and .Fortran() from the R foreign function interface. .C64() supports long vectors, arguments of type 64-bit integer, and provides a mechanism to avoid unnecessary copies of read-only and write-only arguments. This makes it a convenient and fast interface to C/C++ and Fortran code.
Graphical toolbox for clustering and classification of data frames. It proposes a graphical interface to process clustering and classification methods on features data-frames, and to view initial data as well as resulted cluster or classes. According to the level of available labels, different approaches are proposed: unsupervised clustering, semi-supervised clustering and supervised classification. To assess the processed clusters or classes, the toolbox can import and show some supplementary data formats: either profile/time series, or images. These added information can help the expert to label clusters (clustering), or to constrain data frame rows (semi-supervised clustering), using Constrained spectral embedding algorithm by Wacquet et al. (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.patrec.2013.02.003> and the methodology provided by Wacquet et al. (2013) <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-35638-4_21>.
