These are data sets for the hit TV show, RuPaul's Drag Race. Data right now include episode-level data, contestant-level data, and episode-contestant-level data. This is a work in progress, and a love letter of a kind to RuPaul's Drag Race and the performers that have appeared on the show. This may not be the most productive use of my time, but I have tenure and what are you going to do about it? I think there is at least some value in this package if it allows the show's fandom to learn more about the R programming language around its contents.

This package provides a comprehensive framework for bioinformatics exploratory analysis of bulk and single-cell T-cell receptor and antibody repertoires. It provides seamless data loading, analysis and visualisation for AIRR (Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire) data, both bulk immunosequencing (RepSeq) and single-cell sequencing (scRNAseq). Immunarch implements most of the widely used AIRR analysis methods, such as: clonality analysis, estimation of repertoire similarities in distribution of clonotypes and gene segments, repertoire diversity analysis, annotation of clonotypes using external immune receptor databases and clonotype tracking in vaccination and cancer studies. A successor to our previously published tcR immunoinformatics package (Nazarov 2015) <doi:10.1186/s12859-015-0613-1>.

Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for true QTL.

An object is called "outlier" if it remarkably deviates from the other objects in a data set. Outlier detection is the process to find outliers by using the methods that are based on distance measures, clustering and spatial methods (Ben-Gal, 2005 <ISBN 0-387-24435-2>). It is one of the intensively studied research topics for identification of novelties, frauds, anomalies, deviations or exceptions in addition to its use for outlier removing in data processing. This package provides the implementations of some novel approaches to detect the outliers based on typicality degrees that are obtained with the soft partitioning clustering algorithms such as Fuzzy C-means and its variants.

This package provides functions to estimate and interpret the alpha-NOMINATE ideal point model developed in Carroll et al. (2013, <doi:10.1111/ajps.12029>). alpha-NOMINATE extends traditional spatial voting frameworks by allowing for a mixture of Gaussian and quadratic utility functions, providing flexibility in modeling political actors preferences. The package uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for parameter estimation, supporting robust inference about individuals ideological positions and the shape of their utility functions. It also contains functions to simulate data from the model and to calculate the probability of a vote passing given the ideal points of the legislators/voters and the estimated location of the choice alternatives.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process is a versatile multi-criteria decision-making tool introduced by Saaty (1987) <doi:10.1016/0270-0255(87)90473-8> that allows decision-makers to weigh attributes and evaluate alternatives presented to them. This package provides a consistent methodology for researchers to reformat data and run analytic hierarchy process in R on data that are formatted using the survey data entry mode. It is optimized for performing the analytic hierarchy process with many decision-makers, and provides tools and options for researchers to aggregate individual preferences and test multiple options. It also allows researchers to quantify, visualize and correct for inconsistency in the decision-maker's comparisons.

This package contains Bayesian implementations of the Mixed-Effects Accelerated Failure Time (MEAFT) models for censored data. Those can be not only right-censored but also interval-censored, doubly-interval-censored or misclassified interval-censored. The methods implemented in the package have been published in Komárek and Lesaffre (2006, Stat. Modelling) <doi:10.1191/1471082X06st107oa>, Komárek, Lesaffre and Legrand (2007, Stat. in Medicine) <doi:10.1002/sim.3083>, Komárek and Lesaffre (2007, Stat. Sinica) <https://www3.stat.sinica.edu.tw/statistica/oldpdf/A17n27.pdf>, Komárek and Lesaffre (2008, JASA) <doi:10.1198/016214507000000563>, Garcà a-Zattera, Jara and Komárek (2016, Biometrics) <doi:10.1111/biom.12424>.

This package provides a class of Bayesian beta regression models for the analysis of continuous data with support restricted to an unknown finite support. The response variable is modeled using a four-parameter beta distribution with the mean or mode parameter depending linearly on covariates through a link function. When the response support is known to be (0,1), the above class of models reduce to traditional (0,1) supported beta regression models. Model choice is carried out via the logarithm of the pseudo marginal likelihood (LPML), the deviance information criterion (DIC), and the Watanabe-Akaike information criterion (WAIC). See Zhou and Huang (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107345>.

Generic Machine Learning Inference on heterogeneous treatment effects in randomized experiments as proposed in Chernozhukov, Demirer, Duflo and Fernández-Val (2020) <arXiv:1712.04802>. This package's workhorse is the mlr3 framework of Lang et al. (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01903>, which enables the specification of a wide variety of machine learners. The main functionality, GenericML(), runs Algorithm 1 in Chernozhukov, Demirer, Duflo and Fernández-Val (2020) <arXiv:1712.04802> for a suite of user-specified machine learners. All steps in the algorithm are customizable via setup functions. Methods for printing and plotting are available for objects returned by GenericML(). Parallel computing is supported.

Determining potential output and the output gap - two inherently unobservable variables - is a major challenge for macroeconomists. sectorgap features a flexible modeling and estimation framework for a multivariate Bayesian state space model identifying economic output fluctuations consistent with subsectors of the economy. The proposed model is able to capture various correlations between output and a set of aggregate as well as subsector indicators. Estimation of the latent states and parameters is achieved using a simple Gibbs sampling procedure and various plotting options facilitate the assessment of the results. For details on the methodology and an illustrative example, see Streicher (2024) <https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/653682>.

An interface for creating, registering, and resolving content-based identifiers for data management. Content-based identifiers rely on the cryptographic hashes to refer to the files they identify, thus, anyone possessing the file can compute the identifier using a well-known standard algorithm, such as SHA256'. By registering a URL at which the content is accessible to a public archive (such as Hash Archive) or depositing data in a scientific repository such Zenodo', DataONE or SoftwareHeritage', the content identifier can serve many functions typically associated with A Digital Object Identifier ('DOI'). Unlike location-based identifiers like DOIs', content-based identifiers permit the same content to be registered in many locations.

Efficient design matrix free lasso penalized estimation in large scale 2 and 3-dimensional generalized linear array model framework. The procedure is based on the gdpg algorithm from Lund et al. (2017) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1279548>. Currently Lasso or Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation (SCAD) penalized estimation is possible for the following models: The Gaussian model with identity link, the Binomial model with logit link, the Poisson model with log link and the Gamma model with log link. It is also possible to include a component in the model with non-tensor design e.g an intercept. Also provided are functions, glamlassoRR() and glamlassoS(), fitting special cases of GLAMs.

This package provides functions for forest objects detection, structure metrics computation, model calibration and mapping with airborne laser scanning: co-registration of field plots (Monnet and Mermin (2014) <doi:10.3390/f5092307>); tree detection (method 1 in Eysn et al. (2015) <doi:10.3390/f6051721>) and segmentation; forest parameters estimation with the area-based approach: model calibration with ground reference, and maps export (Aussenac et al. (2023) <doi:10.12688/openreseurope.15373.2>); extraction of both physical (gaps, edges, trees) and statistical features useful for e.g. habitat suitability modeling (Glad et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/rse2.117>) and forest maturity mapping (Fuhr et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/rse2.274>).

Grey model is commonly used in time series forecasting when statistical assumptions are violated with a limited number of data points. The minimum number of data points required to fit a grey model is four observations. This package fits Grey model of First order and One Variable, i.e., GM (1,1) for multivariate time series data and returns the parameters of the model, model evaluation criteria and h-step ahead forecast values for each of the time series variables. For method details see, Akay, D. and Atak, M. (2007) <DOI:10.1016/j.energy.2006.11.014>, Hsu, L. and Wang, C. (2007).<DOI:10.1016/j.techfore.2006.02.005>.

The method m:Explorer associates a given list of target genes (e.g. those involved in a biological process) to gene regulators such as transcription factors. Transcription factors that bind DNA near significantly many target genes or correlate with target genes in transcriptional (microarray or RNAseq data) are selected. Selection of candidate master regulators is carried out using multinomial regression models, likelihood ratio tests and multiple testing correction. Reference: m:Explorer: multinomial regression models reveal positive and negative regulators of longevity in yeast quiescence.

Despite that several tests for normality in stationary processes have been proposed in the literature, consistent implementations of these tests in programming languages are limited. Seven normality test are implemented. The asymptotic Lobato & Velasco's, asymptotic Epps, Psaradakis and Vávra, Lobato & Velasco's and Epps sieve bootstrap approximations, El bouch et al., and the random projections tests for univariate stationary process. Some other diagnostics such as, unit root test for stationarity, seasonal tests for seasonality, and arch effect test for volatility; are also performed. Additionally, the El bouch test performs normality tests for bivariate time series. The package also offers residual diagnostic for linear time series models developed in several packages.

This package provides a random forest based implementation of the method described in Chapter 7.1.2 (Regression model based anomaly detection) of Chandola et al. (2009) <doi:10.1145/1541880.1541882>. It works as follows: Each numeric variable is regressed onto all other variables by a random forest. If the scaled absolute difference between observed value and out-of-bag prediction of the corresponding random forest is suspiciously large, then a value is considered an outlier. The package offers different options to replace such outliers, e.g. by realistic values found via predictive mean matching. Once the method is trained on a reference data, it can be applied to new data.

Herein, we provide a broad variety of functions which are useful for handling, manipulating, and visualizing satellite-based remote sensing data. These operations range from mere data import and layer handling (eg subsetting), over Raster* typical data wrangling (eg crop, extend), to more sophisticated (pre-)processing tasks typically applied to satellite imagery (eg atmospheric and topographic correction). This functionality is complemented by a full access to the satellite layers metadata at any stage and the documentation of performed actions in a separate log file. Currently available sensors include Landsat 4-5 (TM), 7 (ETM+), and 8 (OLI/TIRS Combined), and additional compatibility is ensured for the Landsat Global Land Survey data set.

This package provides a collection of functions which (i) assess the quality of variable subsets as surrogates for a full data set, in either an exploratory data analysis or in the context of a multivariate linear model, and (ii) search for subsets which are optimal under various criteria. Theoretical support for the heuristic search methods and exploratory data analysis criteria is in Cadima, Cerdeira, Minhoto (2003, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2003.11.001>). Theoretical support for the leap and bounds algorithm and the criteria for the general multivariate linear model is in Duarte Silva (2001, <doi:10.1006/jmva.2000.1920>). There is a package vignette "subselect", which includes additional references.

Mixed models for repeated measures (MMRM) are a popular choice for analyzing longitudinal continuous outcomes in randomized clinical trials and beyond; see for example Cnaan, Laird and Slasor (1997) <doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19971030)16:20%3C2349::AID-SIM667%3E3.0.CO;2-E>. This package provides an interface for fitting MMRM within the tern <https://cran.r-project.org/package=tern> framework by Zhu et al. (2023) and tabulate results easily using rtables <https://cran.r-project.org/package=rtables> by Becker et al. (2023). It builds on mmrm <https://cran.r-project.org/package=mmrm> by Sabanés Bové et al. (2023) for the actual MMRM computations.

This package provides functions to create descriptive statistics tables for continuous and categorical variables. By default, summary statistics such as mean, standard deviation, quantiles, minimum and maximum for continuous variables and relative and absolute frequencies for categorical variables are calculated. DescrTab2 features a sophisticated algorithm to choose appropriate test statistics for your data and provides p-values. On top of this, confidence intervals for group differences of appropriated summary measures are automatically produces for two-group comparison. Tables generated by DescrTab2 can be integrated in a variety of document formats, including .html, .tex and .docx documents. DescrTab2 also allows printing tables to console and saving table objects for later use.

Models integrate environmental DNA (eDNA) detection data and traditional survey data to jointly estimate species catch rate (see package vignette: <https://ednajoint.netlify.app/>). Models can be used with count data via traditional survey methods (i.e., trapping, electrofishing, visual) and replicated eDNA detection/nondetection data via polymerase chain reaction (i.e., PCR or qPCR) from multiple survey locations. Estimated parameters include probability of a false positive eDNA detection, a site-level covariates that scale the sensitivity of eDNA surveys relative to traditional surveys, and catchability coefficients for traditional gear types. Models are implemented with a Bayesian framework (Markov chain Monte Carlo) using the Stan probabilistic programming language.
