Writing an R value as JSON that a human can read, and reading it back unchanged. The jsonlite package offers either a readable but lossy pair of functions or a faithful but verbose one; this package emits ordinary JSON for ordinary values and annotates only what JSON cannot express, namely the distinction between integer and double, typed missing values, non-finite numbers, attributes, and objects from the S3, S4 and S7 systems.
In repeated measures studies with extreme large or small values it is common that the subjects measurements on average are closer to the mean of the basic population. Interpreting possible changes in the mean in such situations can lead to biased results since the values were not randomly selected, they come from truncated sampling. This method allows to estimate the range of means where treatment effects are likely to occur when regression toward the mean is present. Ostermann, T., Willich, Stefan N. & Luedtke, Rainer. (2008). Regression toward the mean - a detection method for unknown population mean based on Mee and Chua's algorithm. BMC Medical Research Methodology.<doi:10.1186/1471-2288-8-52>. Acknowledgments: We would like to acknowledge "Lena Roth" and "Nico Steckhan" for the package's initial updates (Q3 2024) and continued supervision and guidance. Both have contributed to discussing and integrating these methods into the package, ensuring they are up-to-date and contextually relevant.

An implementation, which takes input data and makes it available for proper batch effect removal by ComBat or Limma. The implementation appropriately handles missing values by dissecting the input matrix into smaller matrices with sufficient data to feed the ComBat or limma algorithm. The adjusted data is returned to the user as a rebuild matrix. The implementation is meant to make as much data available as possible with minimal data loss.
timeOmics is a generic data-driven framework to integrate multi-Omics longitudinal data measured on the same biological samples and select key temporal features with strong associations within the same sample group. The main steps of timeOmics are: 1. Plaform and time-specific normalization and filtering steps; 2. Modelling each biological into one time expression profile; 3. Clustering features with the same expression profile over time; 4. Post-hoc validation step.

The basic idea of this package is provides some tools to help the researcher to work with geostatistics. Initially, we present a collection of functions that allow the researchers to deal with spatial data using bootstrap procedure. There are five methods available and two ways to display them: bootstrap confidence interval - provides a two-sided bootstrap confidence interval; bootstrap plot - a graphic with the original variogram and each of the B bootstrap variograms.
This package provides functions to conduct robust inference in difference-in-differences and event study designs by implementing the methods developed in Rambachan & Roth (2023) <doi:10.1093/restud/rdad018>, "A More Credible Approach to Parallel Trends" [Previously titled "An Honest Approach..."]. Inference is conducted under a weaker version of the parallel trends assumption. Uniformly valid confidence sets are constructed based upon conditional confidence sets, fixed-length confidence sets and hybridized confidence sets.
This package provides functions and classes to compute, handle and visualise incidence from dated events for a defined time interval. Dates can be provided in various standard formats. The class incidence is used to store computed incidence and can be easily manipulated, subsetted, and plotted. In addition, log-linear models can be fitted to incidence objects using fit'.

Utility functions for mutational signature analysis as described in Alexandrov, L. B. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41586-020-1943-3>. This package provides two groups of functions. One is for dealing with mutational signature "exposures" (i.e. the counts of mutations in a sample that are due to each mutational signature). The other group of functions is for matching or comparing sets of mutational signatures. mSigTools stands for mutational Signature analysis Tools.
Enhanced RTF wrapper written in R for use with existing R tables packages such as Huxtable or GT'. This package fills a gap where tables in certain packages can be written out to RTF, but cannot add certain metadata or features to the document that are required/expected in a report for a regulatory submission, such as multiple levels of titles and footnotes, making the document landscape, and controlling properties such as margins.
Psychometric mixture models based on flexmix infrastructure. At the moment Rasch mixture models with different parameterizations of the score distribution (saturated vs. mean/variance specification), Bradley-Terry mixture models, and MPT mixture models are implemented. These mixture models can be estimated with or without concomitant variables. See Frick et al. (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i07> and Frick et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/0013164414536183> for details on the Rasch mixture models.
The steepness package computes steepness as a property of dominance hierarchies. Steepness is defined as the absolute slope of the straight line fitted to the normalized David's scores. The normalized David's scores can be obtained on the basis of dyadic dominance indices corrected for chance or by means of proportions of wins. Given an observed sociomatrix, it computes hierarchy's steepness and estimates statistical significance by means of a randomization test.
Implementation of the BLEU-Score in C++ to evaluate the quality of generated text. The BLEU-Score, introduced by Papineni et al.
