Models the nonnegative entries of a rectangular adjacency matrix using a sparse latent position model, as illustrated in Rastelli, R. (2018) "The Sparse Latent Position Model for nonnegative weighted networks" <arXiv:1808.09262>.

The methods discussed in this package are new non-parametric methods based on sequential normal scores SNS (Conover et al (2017) <doi:10.1080/07474946.2017.1360091>), designed for sequences of observations, usually time series data, which may occur singly or in batches, and may be univariate or multivariate. These methods are designed to detect changes in the process, which may occur as changes in location (mean or median), changes in scale (standard deviation, or variance), or other changes of interest in the distribution of the observations, over the time observed. They usually apply to large data sets, so computations need to be simple enough to be done in a reasonable time on a computer, and easily updated as each new observation (or batch of observations) becomes available. Some examples and more detail in SNS is presented in the work by Conover et al (2019) <arXiv:1901.04443>.

This package provides functions for performing stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) for binary and continuous outcomes and visualizing the results. SSVS is a Bayesian variable selection method used to estimate the probability that individual predictors should be included in a regression model. Using MCMC estimation, the method samples thousands of regression models in order to characterize the model uncertainty regarding both the predictor set and the regression parameters. For details see Bainter, McCauley, Wager, and Losin (2020) Improving practices for selecting a subset of important predictors in psychology: An application to predicting pain, Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science 3(1), 66-80 <DOI:10.1177/2515245919885617>.

This package implements SelectBoost'-style variable selection workflows for functional data analysis. The package provides FDA-native design and preprocessing objects for raw curves, spline-basis expansions, Functional principal component analysis scores, and scalar covariates; grouped stability-selection routines based on repeated subject-level subsampling; multiple selector backends including lasso, group lasso, and sparse-group lasso; FDA-aware grouping functions and calibration helpers for SelectBoost'; method-comparison utilities; a formula interface; simulation, benchmarking, and validation helpers with mapped ground truth; targeted sensitivity-study utilities and shipped benchmark summaries for mean F1 comparisons between FDA-aware and plain SelectBoost workflows; small example datasets; and an optional adapter to the native stability-selection interface from the FDboost package.

For Multi Parent Populations (MPP) Identity By Descend (IBD) probabilities are computed using Hidden Markov Models. These probabilities are then used in a mixed model approach for QTL Mapping as described in Li et al. (<doi:10.1007/s00122-021-03919-7>).

This package creates an S4 class "SSM" and defines functions for fitting smooth supersaturated models, a polynomial model with spline-like behaviour. Functions are defined for the computation of Sobol indices for sensitivity analysis and plotting the main effects using FANOVA methods. It also implements the estimation of the SSM metamodel error using a GP model with a variety of defined correlation functions.

This package implements the Self-Similarity Test for Normality (SSTN), a new statistical test designed to assess whether a given sample originates from a normal distribution. The method exploits the self-similarity property of the normal characteristic function by iteratively transforming and comparing standardized empirical characteristic functions. The null distribution of the test statistic is obtained via Monte Carlo simulation. Details of the methodology are described in Anarat and Schwender (2026), "A test for normality based on self-similarity", <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.03810>.

Social risks are increasingly becoming a critical component of health care research. One of the most common ways to identify social needs is by using ICD-10-CM "Z-codes." This package identifies social risks using varying taxonomies of ICD-10-CM Z-codes from administrative health care data. The conceptual taxonomies come from: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (2021) <https://www.cms.gov/files/document/zcodes-infographic.pdf>, Reidhead (2018) <https://web.mhanet.com/>, A Arons, S DeSilvey, C Fichtenberg, L Gottlieb (2018) <https://sirenetwork.ucsf.edu/tools-resources/resources/compendium-medical-terminology-codes-social-risk-factors>.

An R implementation of the Self-Organising Migrating Algorithm, a general-purpose, stochastic optimisation algorithm. The approach is similar to that of genetic algorithms, although it is based on the idea of a series of ``migrations by a fixed set of individuals, rather than the development of successive generations. It can be applied to any cost-minimisation problem with a bounded parameter space, and is robust to local minima.

This package provides a spectral framework to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting joint differential networks of gene co-Expression. Test the equivalence among multiple biological networks via spectral statistics. See reference Hu, J., Weber, J. N., Fuess, L. E., Steinel, N. C., Bolnick, D. I., & Wang, M. (2025) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1012953>.

This package provides a Graphical user interface to calculate the rainfall-runoff relation using the Natural Resources Conservation Service - Curve Number method (NRCS-CN method) but include modifications by Hawkins et al., (2002) about the Initial Abstraction. This GUI follows the programming logic of a previously published software (Hernandez-Guzman et al., 2011)<doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2011.07.006>. It is a raster-based GIS tool that outputs runoff estimates from Land use/land cover and hydrologic soil group maps. This package has already been published in Journal of Hydroinformatics (Hernandez-Guzman et al., 2021)<doi:10.2166/hydro.2020.087> but it is under constant development at the Institute about Natural Resources Research (INIRENA) from the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo and represents a collaborative effort between the Hydro-Geomatic Lab (INIRENA) with the Environmental Management Lab (CIAD, A.C.).

Sleep cycles are largely detected according to the originally proposed criteria by Feinberg & Floyd (1979) <doi:10.1111/j.1469-8986.1979.tb02991.x> as described in Blume & Cajochen (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.mex.2021.101318>.

The aim of this package is to offer new methodology for unit-level small area models under transformations and limited population auxiliary information. In addition to this new methodology, the widely used nested error regression model without transformations (see "An Error-Components Model for Prediction of County Crop Areas Using Survey and Satellite Data" by Battese, Harter and Fuller (1988) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478561>) and its well-known uncertainty estimate (see "The estimation of the mean squared error of small-area estimators" by Prasad and Rao (1990) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1995.10476570>) are provided. In this package, the log transformation and the data-driven log-shift transformation are provided. If a transformation is selected, an appropriate method is chosen depending on the respective input of the population data: Individual population data (see "Empirical best prediction under a nested error model with log transformation" by Molina and Martà n (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-aos1608>) but also aggregated population data (see "Estimating regional income indicators under transformations and access to limited population auxiliary information" by Würz, Schmid and Tzavidis <unpublished>) can be entered. Especially under limited data access, new methodologies are provided in saeTrafo. Several options are available to assess the used model and to judge, present and export its results. For a detailed description of the package and the methods used see the corresponding vignette.

This package provides a major challenge in estimating treatment decision rules from a randomized clinical trial dataset with covariates measured at baseline lies in detecting relatively small treatment effect modification-related variability (i.e., the treatment-by-covariates interaction effects on treatment outcomes) against a relatively large non-treatment-related variability (i.e., the main effects of covariates on treatment outcomes). The class of Single-Index Models with Multiple-Links is a novel single-index model specifically designed to estimate a single-index (a linear combination) of the covariates associated with the treatment effect modification-related variability, while allowing a nonlinear association with the treatment outcomes via flexible link functions. The models provide a flexible regression approach to developing treatment decision rules based on patients data measured at baseline. We refer to Park, Petkova, Tarpey, and Ogden (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2019.05.008> and Park, Petkova, Tarpey, and Ogden (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13320> (that allows an unspecified X main effect) for detail of the method. The main function of this package is simml().

This package provides a set of functions to support experimentation in the utility of partially synthetic data sets. All functions compare an observed data set to one or a set of partially synthetic data sets derived from the observed data to (1) check that data sets have identical attributes, (2) calculate overall and specific variable perturbation rates, (3) check for potential logical inconsistencies, and (4) calculate confidence intervals and standard errors of desired variables in multiple imputed data sets. Confidence interval and standard error formulas have options for either synthetic data sets or multiple imputed data sets.
