Resources, tutorials, and code snippets dedicated to exploring the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of analyzing Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) lymphocytes and optimizing antiretroviral therapy (ART) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). With the emergence of quantum artificial intelligence and the development of small-scale quantum computers, there's an unprecedented opportunity to revolutionize the understanding of HIV dynamics and treatment strategies. This project leverages the R package qsimulatR (Ostmeyer and Urbach, 2023, <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=qsimulatR>), a quantum computer simulator, to explore these applications in quantum computing techniques, addressing the challenges in studying CD4 lymphocytes and enhancing ART efficacy.

Calculates the right-tail probability of quadratic forms of Gaussian variables using the skewness-kurtosis ratio matching method, modified Liu-Tang-Zhang method and Satterthwaite-Welch method. The technical details can be found in Hong Zhang, Judong Shen and Zheyang Wu (2020) <arXiv:2005.00905>.

The computation of quadratic form (QF) distributions is often not trivial and it requires numerical routines. The package contains functions aimed at evaluating the exact distribution of quadratic forms (QFs) and ratios of QFs. In particular, we propose to evaluate density, quantile and distribution functions of positive definite QFs and ratio of independent positive QFs by means of an algorithm based on the numerical inversion of Mellin transforms.

Developed to perform the estimation and inference for regression coefficient parameters in longitudinal marginal models using the method of quadratic inference functions. Like generalized estimating equations, this method is also a quasi-likelihood inference method. It has been showed that the method gives consistent estimators of the regression coefficients even if the correlation structure is misspecified, and it is more efficient than GEE when the correlation structure is misspecified. Based on Qu, A., Lindsay, B.G. and Li, B. (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.4.823>.

Textual statistics functions formerly in the quanteda package. Textual statistics for characterizing and comparing textual data. Includes functions for measuring term and document frequency, the co-occurrence of words, similarity and distance between features and documents, feature entropy, keyword occurrence, readability, and lexical diversity. These functions extend the quanteda package and are specially designed for sparse textual data.

Computes normalized cycle threshold (Ct) values (delta Ct) from raw quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) Ct values and conducts test of significance using t.test(). Plots expression values based from log2(2^(-1*delta delta Ct)) across groups per gene of interest. Methods for calculation of delta delta Ct and relative expression (2^(-1*delta delta Ct)) values are described in: Livak & Schmittgen, (2001) <doi:10.1006/meth.2001.1262>.

Quality control of chromatin immunoprecipitation libraries (ChIP-seq) by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). This function calculates Enrichment value with respect to reference for each histone modification (specific to Vii7 software <http://www.thermofisher.com/ca/en/home/life-science/pcr/real-time-pcr/real-time-pcr-instruments/viia-7-real-time-pcr-system/viia-7-software.html>). This function is applicable to full panel of histone modifications described by International Human Epigenomic Consortium (IHEC).

Design of QTL (quantitative trait locus) experiments involves choosing which strains to cross, the type of cross, genotyping strategies, phenotyping strategies, and the number of progeny to raise and phenotype. This package provides tools to help make such choices. Sen and others (2007) <doi:10.1007/s00335-006-0090-y>.

These functions use data augmentation and Bayesian techniques for the assessment of single-member and incomplete ensembles of climate projections. It provides unbiased estimates of climate change responses of all simulation chains and of all uncertainty variables. It additionally propagates uncertainty due to missing information in the estimates. - Evin, G., B. Hingray, J. Blanchet, N. Eckert, S. Morin, and D. Verfaillie.

Offers a suite of functions to prepare questionnaire data for analysis (perhaps other types of data as well). By data preparation, I mean data analytic tasks to get your raw data ready for statistical modeling (e.g., regression). There are functions to investigate missing data, reshape data, validate responses, recode variables, score questionnaires, center variables, aggregate by groups, shift scores (i.e., leads or lags), etc. It provides functions for both single level and multilevel (i.e., grouped) data. With a few exceptions (e.g., ncases()), functions without an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., center_by()) act on atomic vectors, while functions with an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., centers_by()) act on multiple columns of a data.frame.

Compile R functions annotated with type and shape declarations for extremely fast performance and robust runtime type checking. Supports both just-in-time (JIT) and ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. Compilation is performed by lowering R code to Fortran.

Finding hidden clusters in structured data can be hindered by the presence of masking variables. If not detected, masking variables are used to calculate the overall similarities between units, and therefore the cluster attribution is more imprecise. The algorithm q-vars implements an optimization method to find the variables that most separate units between clusters. In this way, masking variables can be discarded from the data frame and the clustering is more accurate. Tests can be found in Benati et al.(2017) <doi:10.1080/01605682.2017.1398206>.
