Gaze data from the Visual World Paradigm requires significant preprocessing prior to plotting and analyzing the data. This package provides functions for preparing visual world eye-tracking data for statistical analysis and plotting. It can prepare data for linear analyses (e.g., ANOVA, Gaussian-family LMER, Gaussian-family GAMM) as well as logistic analyses (e.g., binomial-family LMER and binomial-family GAMM). Additionally, it contains various plotting functions for creating grand average and conditional average plots. See the vignette for samples of the functionality. Currently, the functions in this package are designed for handling data collected with SR Research Eyelink eye trackers using Sample Reports created in SR Research Data Viewer. While we would like to add functionality for data collected with other systems in the future, the current package is considered to be feature-complete; further updates will mainly entail maintenance and the addition of minor functionality.

An implementation of methods related to sparse clustering and variable importance in clustering. The package currently allows to perform sparse k-means clustering with a group penalty, so that it automatically selects groups of numerical features. It also allows to perform sparse clustering and variable selection on mixed data (categorical and numerical features), by preprocessing each categorical feature as a group of numerical features. Several methods for visualizing and exploring the results are also provided. M. Chavent, J. Lacaille, A. Mourer and M. Olteanu (2020)<https://www.esann.org/sites/default/files/proceedings/2020/ES2020-103.pdf>.

The Vega-Lite JavaScript framework provides a higher-level grammar for visual analysis, akin to ggplot or Tableau', that generates complete Vega specifications. Functions exist which enable building a valid spec from scratch or importing a previously created spec file. Functions also exist to export spec files and to generate code which will enable plots to be embedded in properly configured web pages. The default behavior is to generate an htmlwidget'.

This package provides tools to analyze vaccine coverage data and simulate potential disease outbreak scenarios. It allows users to calculate key epidemiological metrics such as the effective reproduction number (Re), outbreak probabilities, and expected infection counts based on county-level vaccination rates, disease characteristics, and vaccine effectiveness. The package includes historical kindergarten vaccination data for Florida counties and offers functions for generating summary tables, visualizations, and exporting the underlying plot data.

This package implements the Variable importance Explainable Elastic Shape Analysis pipeline for explainable machine learning with functional data inputs. Converts training and testing data functional inputs to elastic shape analysis principal components that account for vertical and/or horizontal variability. Computes feature importance to identify important principal components and visualizes variability captured by functional principal components. See Goode et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.07602> for technical details about the methodology.

This package provides low-level access to GDAL functionality. GDAL is the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library a translator for raster and vector geospatial data formats that presents a single raster abstract data model and single vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats <https://gdal.org/>. This package is focussed on providing exactly and only what GDAL does, to enable developing further tools.

This package implements a set of routines to perform structured matrix factorization with minimum volume constraints. The NMF procedure decomposes a matrix X into a product C * D. Given conditions such that the matrix C is non-negative and has sufficiently spread columns, then volume minimization of a matrix D delivers a correct and unique, up to a scale and permutation, solution (C, D). This package provides both an implementation of volume-regularized NMF and "anchor-free" NMF, whereby the standard NMF problem is reformulated in the covariance domain. This algorithm was applied in Vladimir B. Seplyarskiy Ruslan A. Soldatov, et al. "Population sequencing data reveal a compendium of mutational processes in the human germ line". Science, 12 Aug 2021. <doi:10.1126/science.aba7408>. This package interacts with data available through the simulatedNMF package, which is available in a drat repository. To access this data package, see the instructions at <https://github.com/kharchenkolab/vrnmf>. The size of the simulatedNMF package is approximately 8 MB.

Variance function estimation for models proposed by W. Sadler in his variance function program ('VFP', www.aacb.asn.au/AACB/Resources/Variance-Function-Program). Here, the idea is to fit multiple variance functions to a data set and consequently assess which function reflects the relationship Var ~ Mean best. For in-vitro diagnostic ('IVD') assays modeling this relationship is of great importance when individual test-results are used for defining follow-up treatment of patients.
