Estimates and plots as a heat map the correlation coefficients obtained via the wavelet local multiple correlation WLMC (Fernández-Macho 2018) and the dominant variable/s, i.e., the variable/s that maximizes the multiple correlation through time and scale (Polanco-Martà nez et al. 2020, Polanco-Martà nez 2022). We improve the graphical outputs of WLMC proposing a didactic and useful way to visualize the dominant variable(s) for a set of time series. The WLMC was designed for financial time series, but other kinds of data (e.g., climatic, ecological, etc.) can be used. The functions contained in VisualDom are highly flexible since these contains several parameters to personalize the time series under analysis and the heat maps. In addition, we have also included two data sets (named rdata_climate and rdata_Lorenz') to exemplify the use of the functions contained in VisualDom'. Methods derived from Fernández-Macho (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.physa.2017.11.050>, Polanco-Martà nez et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-77767-8> and Polanco-Martà nez (2023, in press).

Traces information spread through interactions between features, utilising information theory measures and a higher-order generalisation of the concept of widest paths in graphs. In particular, vistla can be used to better understand the results of high-throughput biomedical experiments, by organising the effects of the investigated intervention in a tree-like hierarchy from direct to indirect ones, following the plausible information relay circuits. Due to its higher-order nature, vistla can handle multi-modality and assign multiple roles to a single feature.

Calibrates cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMF) estimates generated by computer-coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms from WHO-standardized verbal autopsy (VA) survey data. It leverages data from the multi-country Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) project <https://champshealth.org/>, which determines gold standard causes of death via Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling (MITS). By modeling the CHAMPS data using the misclassification matrix modeling framework proposed in Pramanik et al. (2025, <doi:10.1214/24-AOAS2006>), the package includes an inventory of 48 uncertainty-quantified misclassification matrices for three CCVA algorithms (EAVA, InSilicoVA, InterVA), two age groups (neonates aged 0-27 days and children aged 1-59 months), and eight "countries" (seven countries in CHAMPS -- Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, South Africa -- and an estimate for countries not in CHAMPS). Given a VA-only data for an age group, CCVA algorithm, and country, the package uses the corresponding uncertainty-quantified misclassification matrix estimates as an informative prior, and utilizes the modular VA-calibration to produce calibrated CSMF estimates. It also supports ensemble calibration when VA-only data are provided for multiple algorithms. More generally, the package can be applied to calibrate predictions from a discrete classifier (or ensemble of classifiers) utilizing user-provided fixed or uncertainty-quantified misclassification matrices. This work is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Grant INV-034842.

This package creates Vertex Similarity matrix of an undirected graph based on the method stated by E. A. Leicht, Petter Holme, AND M. E. J. Newman in their paper <DOI:10.1103/PhysRevE.73.026120>.

This package provides a data.frame processor/conditioner that prepares real-world data for predictive modeling in a statistically sound manner. vtreat prepares variables so that data has fewer exceptional cases, making it easier to safely use models in production. Common problems vtreat defends against: Inf', NA', too many categorical levels, rare categorical levels, and new categorical levels (levels seen during application, but not during training).

Wrapper around the City of Vancouver Open Data API <https://opendata.vancouver.ca/api/v2/console> to simplify and standardize access to City of Vancouver open data. Functionality to list the data catalogue and access data and geographic records.

Automatically selects and visualises statistical hypothesis tests between two vectors, based on their class, distribution, sample size, and a user-defined confidence level (conf.level). Visual outputs - including box plots, bar charts, regression lines with confidence bands, mosaic plots, residual plots, and Q-Q plots - are annotated with relevant test statistics, assumption checks, and post-hoc analyses where applicable. The algorithmic workflow helps the user focus on the interpretation of test results rather than test selection. It is particularly suited for quick data analysis, e.g., in statistical consulting projects or educational settings. The test selection algorithm proceeds as follows: Input vectors of class numeric or integer are considered numerical; those of class factor are considered categorical. Assumptions of residual normality and homogeneity of variances are considered met if the corresponding test yields a p-value greater than the significance level alpha = 1 - conf.level. (1) When the response vector is numerical and the predictor vector is categorical, a test of central tendencies is selected. If the categorical predictor has exactly two levels, t.test() is applied when group sizes exceed 30 (Lumley et al. (2002) <doi:10.1146/annurev.publhealth.23.100901.140546>). For smaller samples, normality of residuals is tested using shapiro.test(); if met, t.test() is used; otherwise, wilcox.test(). If the predictor is categorical with more than two levels, an aov() is initially fitted. Residual normality is evaluated using both shapiro.test() and ad.test(); residuals are considered approximately normal if at least one test yields a p-value above alpha. If this assumption is met, bartlett.test() assesses variance homogeneity. If variances are homogeneous, aov() is used; otherwise oneway.test(). Both tests are followed by TukeyHSD(). If residual normality cannot be assumed, kruskal.test() is followed by pairwise.wilcox.test(). (2) When both the response and predictor vectors are numerical, a simple linear regression model is fitted using lm(). (3) When both vectors are categorical, Cochran's rule (Cochran (1954) <doi:10.2307/3001666>) is applied to test independence either by chisq.test() or fisher.test().

This package implements variable screening techniques for ultra-high dimensional regression settings. Techniques for independent (iid) data, varying-coefficient models, and longitudinal data are implemented. The package currently contains three screen functions: screenIID(), screenLD() and screenVCM(), and six methods for simulating dataset: simulateDCSIS(), simulateLD, simulateMVSIS(), simulateMVSISNY(), simulateSIRS() and simulateVCM(). The package is based on the work of Li-Ping ZHU, Lexin LI, Runze LI, and Li-Xing ZHU (2011) <DOI:10.1198/jasa.2011.tm10563>, Runze LI, Wei ZHONG, & Liping ZHU (2012) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2012.695654>, Jingyuan LIU, Runze LI, & Rongling WU (2014) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2013.850086> Hengjian CUI, Runze LI, & Wei ZHONG (2015) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2014.920256>, and Wanghuan CHU, Runze LI and Matthew REIMHERR (2016) <DOI:10.1214/16-AOAS912>.

Enables computationally efficient parameters-estimation by variational Bayesian methods for various diagnostic classification models (DCMs). DCMs are a class of discrete latent variable models for classifying respondents into latent classes that typically represent distinct combinations of skills they possess. Recently, to meet the growing need of large-scale diagnostic measurement in the field of educational, psychological, and psychiatric measurements, variational Bayesian inference has been developed as a computationally efficient alternative to the Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, e.g., Yamaguchi and Okada (2020a) <doi:10.1007/s11336-020-09739-w>, Yamaguchi and Okada (2020b) <doi:10.3102/1076998620911934>, Yamaguchi (2020) <doi:10.1007/s41237-020-00104-w>, Oka and Okada (2023) <doi:10.1007/s11336-022-09884-4>, and Yamaguchi and Martinez (2023) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12308>. To facilitate their applications, variationalDCM is developed to provide a collection of recently-proposed variational Bayesian estimation methods for various DCMs.

Facilitates modeling species ecological niches and geographic distributions based on occurrences and environments that have a vertical as well as horizontal component, and projecting models into three-dimensional geographic space. Working in three dimensions is useful in an aquatic context when the organisms one wishes to model can be found across a wide range of depths in the water column. The package also contains functions to automatically generate marine training model training regions using machine learning, and interpolate and smooth patchily sampled environmental rasters using thin plate splines.

This package provides a tool for fast, efficient bitwise operations along the elements within a vector. Provides such functionality for AND, OR and XOR, as well as infix operators for all of the binary bitwise operations.

The base tools union() intersect(), etc., follow the algebraic definition that each element of a set must be unique. Since it's often helpful to compare all elements of two vectors, this toolset treats every element as unique for counting purposes. For ease of use, all functions in vecsets have an argument multiple which, when set to FALSE, reverts them to the base::sets (alias for all the items) tools functionality.

Computes the random forest variable importance (VIMP) for the conditional inference random forest (cforest) of the party package. Includes a function (varImp) that computes the VIMP for arbitrary measures from the measures package. For calculating the VIMP regarding the measures accuracy and AUC two extra functions exist (varImpACC and varImpAUC).

This package implements methods for inference on potential waning of vaccine efficacy and for estimation of vaccine efficacy at a user-specified time after vaccination based on data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled vaccine trial in which participants may be unblinded and placebo subjects may be crossed over to the study vaccine. The methods also allow adjustment for possible confounding via inverse probability weighting through specification of models for the trial entry process, unblinding mechanisms, and the probability an unblinded placebo participant accepts study vaccine: Tsiatis, A. A. and Davidian, M. (2022) <doi:10.1111/biom.13509>.
