Build graphs for landscape genetics analysis. This set of functions can be used to import and convert spatial and genetic data initially in different formats, import landscape graphs created with GRAPHAB software (Foltete et al., 2012) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2012.07.002>, make diagnosis plots of isolation by distance relationships in order to choose how to build genetic graphs, create graphs with a large range of pruning methods, weight their links with several genetic distances, plot and analyse graphs, compare them with other graphs. It uses functions from other packages such as adegenet (Jombart, 2008) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btn129> and igraph (Csardi et Nepusz, 2006) <https://igraph.org/>. It also implements methods commonly used in landscape genetics to create graphs, described by Dyer et Nason (2004) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-294X.2004.02177.x> and Greenbaum et Fefferman (2017) <doi:10.1111/mec.14059>, and to analyse distance data (van Strien et al., 2015) <doi:10.1038/hdy.2014.62>.

This package provides functions for fitting and doing predictions with Gaussian process models using Vecchia's (1988) approximation. Package also includes functions for reordering input locations, finding ordered nearest neighbors (with help from FNN package), grouping operations, and conditional simulations. Covariance functions for spatial and spatial-temporal data on Euclidean domains and spheres are provided. The original approximation is due to Vecchia (1988) <http://www.jstor.org/stable/2345768>, and the reordering and grouping methods are from Guinness (2018) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2018.1437476>. Model fitting employs a Fisher scoring algorithm described in Guinness (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1905.08374>.

This is a set of functions to retrieve information about GIMMS NDVI3g files currently available online; download (and re-arrange, in the case of NDVI3g.v0) the half-monthly data sets; import downloaded files from ENVI binary (NDVI3g.v0) or NetCDF format (NDVI3g.v1) directly into R based on the widespread raster package; conduct quality control; and generate monthly composites (e.g., maximum values) from the half-monthly input data. As a special gimmick, a method is included to conveniently apply the Mann-Kendall trend test upon Raster* images, optionally featuring trend-free pre-whitening to account for lag-1 autocorrelation.

This package provides residual global fit indices for generalized latent variable models.

Spline regression, generalized additive models and component-wise gradient boosting utilizing geometrically designed (GeD) splines. GeDS regression is a non-parametric method inspired by geometric principles, for fitting spline regression models with variable knots in one or two independent variables. It efficiently estimates the number of knots and their positions, as well as the spline order, assuming the response variable follows a distribution from the exponential family. GeDS models integrate the broader category of generalized (non-)linear models, offering a flexible approach to model complex relationships. A description of the method can be found in Kaishev et al. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00180-015-0621-7> and Dimitrova et al. (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.amc.2022.127493>. Further extending its capabilities, GeDS's implementation includes generalized additive models (GAM) and functional gradient boosting (FGB), enabling versatile multivariate predictor modeling, as discussed in the forthcoming work of Dimitrova et al. (2025).

The geohabnet package is designed to perform a geographically or spatially explicit risk analysis of habitat connectivity. Xing et al (2021) <doi:10.1093/biosci/biaa067> proposed the concept of cropland connectivity as a risk factor for plant pathogen or pest invasions. As the functions in geohabnet were initially developed thinking on cropland connectivity, users are recommended to first be familiar with the concept by looking at the Xing et al paper. In a nutshell, a habitat connectivity analysis combines information from maps of host density, estimates the relative likelihood of pathogen movement between habitat locations in the area of interest, and applies network analysis to calculate the connectivity of habitat locations. The functions of geohabnet are built to conduct a habitat connectivity analysis relying on geographic parameters (spatial resolution and spatial extent), dispersal parameters (in two commonly used dispersal kernels: inverse power law and negative exponential models), and network parameters (link weight thresholds and network metrics). The functionality and main extensions provided by the functions in geohabnet to habitat connectivity analysis are a) Capability to easily calculate the connectivity of locations in a landscape using a single function, such as sensitivity_analysis() or msean(). b) As backbone datasets, the geohabnet package supports the use of two publicly available global datasets to calculate cropland density. The backbone datasets in the geohabnet package include crop distribution maps from Monfreda, C., N. Ramankutty, and J. A. Foley (2008) <doi:10.1029/2007gb002947> "Farming the planet: 2. Geographic distribution of crop areas, yields, physiological types, and net primary production in the year 2000, Global Biogeochem. Cycles, 22, GB1022" and International Food Policy Research Institute (2019) <doi:10.7910/DVN/PRFF8V> "Global Spatially-Disaggregated Crop Production Statistics Data for 2010 Version 2.0, Harvard Dataverse, V4". Users can also provide any other geographic dataset that represents host density. c) Because the geohabnet package allows R users to provide maps of host density (as originally in Xing et al (2021)), host landscape density (representing the geographic distribution of either crops or wild species), or habitat distribution (such as host landscape density adjusted by climate suitability) as inputs, we propose the term habitat connectivity. d) The geohabnet package allows R users to customize parameter values in the habitat connectivity analysis, facilitating context-specific (pathogen- or pest-specific) analyses. e) The geohabnet package allows users to automatically visualize maps of the habitat connectivity of locations resulting from a sensitivity analysis across all customized parameter combinations. The primary functions are msean() and sensitivity analysis(). Most functions in geohabnet provide three main outcomes: i) A map of mean habitat connectivity across parameters selected by the user, ii) a map of variance of habitat connectivity across the selected parameters, and iii) a map of the difference between the ranks of habitat connectivity and habitat density. Each function can be used to generate these maps as final outcomes. Each function can also provide intermediate outcomes, such as the adjacency matrices built to perform the analysis, which can be used in other network analysis. Refer to article at <https://garrettlab.github.io/HabitatConnectivity/articles/analysis.html> to see examples of each function and how to access each of these outcome types. To change parameter values, the file called parameters.yaml stores the parameters and their values, can be accessed using get_parameters() and set new parameter values with set_parameters()'. Users can modify up to ten parameters.

This package provides Bayesian linear and generalized linear model fitting with independent and identically distributed (iid) posterior samples. The main functions mirror R's lm() and glm() interfaces while adding prior family specifications for Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, and Gamma models with log-concave likelihoods. Sampling for supported non-conjugate models uses accept-reject methods based on likelihood subgradients as in Nygren and Nygren (2006) <doi:10.1198/016214506000000357>. The package also includes tools for prior setup, posterior summaries, prediction, diagnostics, simulation, vignettes, and optional OpenCL acceleration for larger models.

This package provides functions to develop simulated continuous data (e.g., gene expression) from a sigma covariance matrix derived from a graph structure in igraph objects. Intended to extend mvtnorm to take igraph structures rather than sigma matrices as input. This allows the use of simulated data that correctly accounts for pathway relationships and correlations. This allows the use of simulated data that correctly accounts for pathway relationships and correlations. Here we present a versatile statistical framework to simulate correlated gene expression data from biological pathways, by sampling from a multivariate normal distribution derived from a graph structure. This package allows the simulation of biological pathways from a graph structure based on a statistical model of gene expression. For example methods to infer biological pathways and gene regulatory networks from gene expression data can be tested on simulated datasets using this framework. This also allows for pathway structures to be considered as a confounding variable when simulating gene expression data to test the performance of genomic analyses.

This package provides a fast C++ implementation of the design-based, Diffusion Decision Model (DDM) and the Linear Ballistic Accumulation (LBA) model. It enables the user to optimise the choice response time model by connecting with the Differential Evolution Markov Chain Monte Carlo (DE-MCMC) sampler implemented in the ggdmc package. The package fuses the hierarchical modelling, Bayesian inference, choice response time models and factorial designs, allowing users to build their own design-based models. For more information on the underlying models, see the works by Voss, Rothermund, and Voss (2004) <doi:10.3758/BF03196893>, Ratcliff and McKoon (2008) <doi:10.1162/neco.2008.12-06-420>, and Brown and Heathcote (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.cogpsych.2007.12.002>.
