The purpose is to account for the random displacements (jittering) of true survey household cluster center coordinates in geostatistical analyses of Demographic and Health Surveys program (DHS) data. Adjustment for jittering can be implemented either in the spatial random effect, or in the raster/distance based covariates, or in both. Detailed information about the methods behind the package functionality can be found in our two papers. Umut Altay, John Paige, Andrea Riebler, Geir-Arne Fuglstad (2024) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2024-027>.

Statistical testing procedures for detecting GxE (gene-environment) interactions. The main focus lies on GRSxE interaction tests that aim at detecting GxE interactions through GRS (genetic risk scores). Moreover, a novel testing procedure based on bagging and OOB (out-of-bag) predictions is implemented for incorporating all available observations at both GRS construction and GxE testing (Lau et al., 2023, <doi:10.1038/s41598-023-28172-4>).

Understanding spatial association is essential for spatial statistical inference, including factor exploration and spatial prediction. Geographically optimal similarity (GOS) model is an effective method for spatial prediction, as described in Yongze Song (2022) <doi:10.1007/s11004-022-10036-8>. GOS was developed based on the geographical similarity principle, as described in Axing Zhu (2018) <doi:10.1080/19475683.2018.1534890>. GOS has advantages in more accurate spatial prediction using fewer samples and critically reduced prediction uncertainty.

This package provides tools to assist planning and monitoring of time-to-event trials under complicated censoring assumptions and/or non-proportional hazards. There are three main components: The first is analytic calculation of predicted time-to-event trial properties, providing estimates of expected hazard ratio, event numbers and power under different analysis methods. The second is simulation, allowing stochastic estimation of these same properties. Thirdly, it provides parametric event prediction using blinded trial data, including creation of prediction intervals. Methods are based upon numerical integration and a flexible object-orientated structure for defining event, censoring and recruitment distributions (Curves).

The primary tool is the exact computation of the intractable normalising constant for small rectangular lattices. Beside the latter function, it contains method that give exact sample from the likelihood for small enough rectangular lattices or approximate sample from the likelihood using MCMC samplers for large lattices.

Inference, goodness-of-fit test, and prediction densities and intervals for univariate Gaussian Hidden Markov Models (HMM). The goodness-of-fit is based on a Cramer-von Mises statistic and uses parametric bootstrap to estimate the p-value. The description of the methodology is taken from Chapter 10.2 of Remillard (2013) <doi:10.1201/b14285>.

Models are pre-specified using the Stan programming language, a platform for Bayesian inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). References: Carpenter et al.

Computes the test statistic and p-value of the Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling test for some continuous distribution functions proposed by Chen and Balakrishnan (1995) <http://asq.org/qic/display-item/index.html?item=11407>. In addition to our classic distribution functions here, we calculate the Goodness of Fit (GoF) test to dataset which follows the extreme value distribution function, without remembering the formula of distribution/density functions. Calculates the Value at Risk (VaR) and Average VaR are another important risk factors which are estimated by using well-known distribution functions. Pflug and Romisch (2007, ISBN: 9812707409) is a good reference to study the properties of risk measures.

The geomod does spatial prediction of the Geotechnical soil properties. It predicts the spatial distribution of Geotechnical properties of soil e.g. shear strength, permeability, plasticity index, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) counts, etc. The output of the prediction takes the form of a map or a series of maps. It uses the interpolation technique where a single or statistically â bestâ estimate of spatial occurrence soil property is determined. The interpolation is based on both the sampled data and a variogram model for the spatial correlation of the sampled data. The single estimate is produced by a Kriging technique.

Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is a stratified sampling method known for its efficiency compared to Simple Random Sampling (SRS). When sample allocation is equal across strata, it is referred to as balanced RSS (BRSS) whereas unequal allocation is called unbalanced RSS (URSS), which is particularly effective for asymmetric or skewed distributions. This package offers practical statistical tools and sampling methods for both BRSS and URSS, emphasizing flexible sampling designs and inference for population means, medians, proportions, and Area Under the Curve (AUC). It incorporates parametric and nonparametric tests, including empirical likelihood ratio (LR) methods. The package provides ranked set sampling methods from a given population, including sampling with imperfect ranking using auxiliary variables. Furthermore, it provides tools for efficient sample allocation in URSS, ensuring greater efficiency than SRS and BRSS. For more details, refer e.g. to Chen et al. (2003) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-21664-5>, Ahn et al. (2022) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-14525-4_3>, and Ahn et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/insr.12589>.

This package provides methods include converting series of event names to strings, finding common patterns in a group of strings, discovering featured patterns when comparing two groups of strings as well as the number and starting position of each pattern in each string, obtaining transition matrix, computing transition entropy, statistically comparing the difference between two groups of strings, and clustering string groups. Event names can be any action names or labels such as events in log files or areas of interest (AOIs) in eye tracking research.

Description: For the risk, progression, and response to treatment of many complex diseases, it has been increasingly recognized that gene-environment interactions play important roles beyond the main genetic and environmental effects. In practical interaction analyses, outliers in response variables and covariates are not uncommon. In addition, missingness in environmental factors is routinely encountered in epidemiological studies. The developed package consists of five robust approaches to address the outliers problems, among which two approaches can also accommodate missingness in environmental factors. Both continuous and right censored responses are considered. The proposed approaches are based on penalization and sparse boosting techniques for identifying important interactions, which are realized using efficient algorithms. Beyond the gene-environment analysis, the developed package can also be adopted to conduct analysis on interactions between other types of low-dimensional and high-dimensional data.
