Various recursive two-stage models to address the endogeneity issue of treatment variables in observational study or mediators in experiments. The details of the models are discussed in Peng (2023) <doi:10.1287/isre.2022.1113>.

This package provides a data transformation method which takes into account the special property of scale non-invariance with a breakpoint at 1 of the Euclidean distance.

An interactive shiny application that estimates all-cause mortality and excess mortality from country-level weekly or monthly death counts. Users supply observed deaths and an event calendar (for example COVID-19 waves or typhoons); the app fits one or more statistical baseline models (historical average, negative binomial regression, quasi-Poisson regression, zero-inflated Poisson regression, ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) and SARIMA (seasonal ARIMA) models, GAM (generalized additive model) splines, and the model of Karlinsky and Kobak (2021) <doi:10.7554/eLife.69336>) on a user-defined baseline period, projects the expected deaths into the post-baseline period, and reports excess deaths, P-scores (excess deaths as a percentage of expected deaths) and confidence limits with tables, plots and downloadable reports. Launch the application with run_app().

This package provides a framework to simulate ecosystem dynamics through ordinary differential equations (ODEs). You create an ODE model, tells ecode to explore its behaviour, and perform numerical simulations on the model. ecode also allows you to fit model parameters by machine learning algorithms. Potential users include researchers who are interested in the dynamics of ecological community and biogeochemical cycles.

The purpose of Early Warning Systems (EWS) is to detect accurately the occurrence of a crisis, which is represented by a binary variable which takes the value of one when the event occurs, and the value of zero otherwise. EWS are a toolbox for policymakers to prevent or attenuate the impact of economic downturns. Modern EWS are based on the econometric framework of Kauppi and Saikkonen (2008) <doi:10.1162/rest.90.4.777>. Specifically, this framework includes four dichotomous models, relying on a logit approach to model the relationship between yield spreads and future recessions, controlling for recession risk factors. These models can be estimated in a univariate or a balanced panel framework as in Candelon, Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2014.03.015>. This package provides both methods for estimating these models and a dataset covering 13 OECD countries over a period of 45 years. In addition, this package also provides methods for the analysis of the propagation mechanisms of an exogenous shock, as well as robust confidence intervals for these response functions using a block-bootstrap method as in Lajaunie (2021). This package constitutes a useful toolbox (data and functions) for scholars as well as policymakers.

Create forecasts from multiple predictions using ensemble Bayesian model averaging (EBMA). EBMA models can be estimated using an expectation maximization (EM) algorithm or as fully Bayesian models via Gibbs sampling. The methods in this package are Montgomery, Hollenbach, and Ward (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2014.08.001> and Montgomery, Hollenbach, and Ward (2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mps002>.

This package implements several methods for False Discovery Rate control based on the e-Closure Principle, in particular the Closed Benjamini-Hochberg, Closed e-Benjamini-Hochberg and Closed Benjamini-Yekutieli procedures.

By using a multispectral image and ESRI shapefile (Point/ Line/ Polygon), a data table will be generated for classification, regression or other processing. The data table will be contained by band wise raster values and shapefile ids (User Defined).

Downloads a satellite image via ESRI and maptiles (these are originally from a variety of aerial photography sources), translates the image into a perceptually uniform color space, runs one of a few different clustering algorithms on the colors in the image searching for a user-supplied number of colors, and returns the resulting color palette.

This package performs a compact genetic algorithm search to reduce errors-in-variables bias in linear regression. The algorithm estimates the regression parameters with lower biases and higher variances but mean-square errors (MSEs) are reduced.

Notice: The package EffectStars2 provides a more up-to-date implementation of effect stars! EffectStars provides functions to visualize regression models with categorical response as proposed by Tutz and Schauberger (2013) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2012.701379>. The effects of the variables are plotted with star plots in order to allow for an optical impression of the fitted model.

This package provides functions to test for gene x gene interactions in a bi-parental population of inbred lines. The data are fitted with the mixed linear model described in Rio et al. (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.12.18.520958>, that accounts for gene x gene interactions at both the fixed effect and variance levels. The package also provides graphical tools to display the gene x gene interaction trend at the mean level and the variance component analysis.

Computes and plots a transformed empirical CDF (ecdf) as a diagnostic for heavy tailed data, specifically data with power law decay on the tails. Routines for annotating the plot, comparing data to a model, fitting a nonparametric model, and some multivariate extensions are given.

This package provides functions to profile a dataset, identify anomalies (special values, outliers, and inliers, defined as data values that are repeated unusually often), and compare data subsets with respect to either numerical or categorical variable distributions.

This package implements the conditional estimation procedure of Lee, Sun, Sun and Taylor (2016) <doi:10.1214/15-AOS1371>. This procedure allows hypothesis testing on the mean of a normal random vector subject to linear constraints. Also supports computation of the MLE of the mean subject to the same constraints.

The forecast metrics are imported from the SpecsVerification package, and additional forecast metrics are provided with this package. Alternatively, new user-defined forecast scores can be implemented using the example scores provided and applied using the functionality of this package.

Analysis and visualization of similarities between epilepsy ontologies based on text mining results by comparing ranked lists of co-occurring drug terms in the BioASQ corpus. The ranked result lists of neurological drug terms co-occurring with terms from the epilepsy ontologies EpSO, ESSO, EPILONT, EPISEM and FENICS undergo further analysis. The source data to create the ranked lists of drug names is produced using the text mining workflows described in Mueller, Bernd and Hagelstein, Alexandra (2016) <doi:10.4126/FRL01-006408558>, Mueller, Bernd et al. (2017) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-58694-6_22>, Mueller, Bernd and Rebholz-Schuhmann, Dietrich (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-43887-6_52>, and Mueller, Bernd et al. (2022) <doi:10.1186/s13326-021-00258-w>.

This package provides a system for batch-marking data analysis to estimate survival probabilities, capture probabilities, and enumerate the population abundance for both marked and unmarked individuals. The estimation of only marked individuals can be achieved through the batchMarkOptim() function. Similarly, the combined marked and unmarked can be achieved through the batchMarkUnmarkOptim() function. The algorithm was also implemented for the hidden Markov model encapsulated in batchMarkUnmarkOptim() to estimate the abundance of both marked and unmarked individuals in the population. The package is based on the paper: "Hidden Markov Models for Extended Batch Data" of Cowen et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12701>.

Miscellaneous functions for data cleaning and data analysis of educational assessments. Includes functions for descriptive analyses, character vector manipulations and weighted statistics. Mainly a lightweight dependency for the packages eatRep', eatGADS', eatPrep and eatModel (which will be subsequently submitted to CRAN'). The function for defining (weighted) contrasts in weighted effect coding refers to te Grotenhuis et al. (2017) <doi:10.1007/s00038-016-0901-1>. Functions for weighted statistics refer to Wolter (2007) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-35099-8>.

The amplitude-dependent autoregressive time series model (EXPAR) proposed by Haggan and Ozaki (1981) <doi:10.2307/2335819> was improved by incorporating the moving average (MA) framework for capturing the variability efficiently. Parameters of the EXPARMA model can be estimated using this package. The user is provided with the best fitted EXPARMA model for the data set under consideration.
