Implementation of the exact, normal approximation, and simulation-based methods for computing the probability mass function (pmf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the Poisson-Multinomial distribution, together with a random number generator for the distribution. The exact method is based on multi-dimensional fast Fourier transformation (FFT) of the characteristic function of the Poisson-Multinomial distribution. The normal approximation method uses a multivariate normal distribution to approximate the pmf of the distribution based on central limit theorem. The simulation method is based on the law of large numbers. Details about the methods are available in Lin, Wang, and Hong (2022) <DOI:10.1007/s00180-022-01299-0>.

This package provides a modeling tool dedicated to biological network modeling (Bertrand and others 2020, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa855>). It allows for single or joint modeling of, for instance, genes and proteins. It starts with the selection of the actors that will be the used in the reverse engineering upcoming step. An actor can be included in that selection based on its differential measurement (for instance gene expression or protein abundance) or on its time course profile. Wrappers for actors clustering functions and cluster analysis are provided. It also allows reverse engineering of biological networks taking into account the observed time course patterns of the actors. Many inference functions are provided and dedicated to get specific features for the inferred network such as sparsity, robust links, high confidence links or stable through resampling links. Some simulation and prediction tools are also available for cascade networks (Jung and others 2014, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btt705>). Example of use with microarray or RNA-Seq data are provided.

This package provides data set and function for exploration of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2017-18 Children Age 5-17 questionnaire data for Punjab, Pakistan. The results of the present survey are critically important for the purposes of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) monitoring, as the survey produces information on 32 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators. The data was collected from 53,840 households selected at the second stage with systematic random sampling out of a sample of 2,692 clusters selected using probability proportional to size sampling. Six questionnaires were used in the survey: (1) a household questionnaire to collect basic demographic information on all de jure household members (usual residents), the household, and the dwelling; (2) a water quality testing questionnaire administered in three households in each cluster of the sample; (3) a questionnaire for individual women administered in each household to all women age 15-49 years; (4) a questionnaire for individual men administered in every second household to all men age 15-49 years; (5) an under-5 questionnaire, administered to mothers (or caretakers) of all children under 5 living in the household; and (6) a questionnaire for children age 5-17 years, administered to the mother (or caretaker) of one randomly selected child age 5-17 years living in the household (<http://www.mics.unicef.org/surveys>).

Stochastic block model used for dynamic graphs represented by Poisson processes. To model recurrent interaction events in continuous time, an extension of the stochastic block model is proposed where every individual belongs to a latent group and interactions between two individuals follow a conditional inhomogeneous Poisson process with intensity driven by the individualsâ latent groups. The model is shown to be identifiable and its estimation is based on a semiparametric variational expectation-maximization algorithm. Two versions of the method are developed, using either a nonparametric histogram approach (with an adaptive choice of the partition size) or kernel intensity estimators. The number of latent groups can be selected by an integrated classification likelihood criterion. Y. Baraud and L. Birgé (2009). <doi:10.1007/s00440-007-0126-6>. C. Biernacki, G. Celeux and G.

Global hypothesis tests combine information across multiple endpoints to test a single hypothesis. The prediction test is a recently proposed global hypothesis test with good performance for small sample sizes and many endpoints of interest. The test is also flexible in the types and combinations of expected results across the individual endpoints. This package provides functions for data processing and calculation of the prediction test.

Estimation and inference for coefficients of linear EIV models with symmetric measurement errors. The measurement errors can be homoscedastic or heteroscedastic, for the latter, replication for at least some observations needs to be available. The estimation method and asymptotic inference are based on a generalised method of moments framework, where the estimating equations are formed from (1) minimising the distance between the empirical phase function (normalised characteristic function) of the response and that of the linear combination of all the covariates at the estimates, and (2) minimising a corrected least-square discrepancy function. Specifically, for a linear EIV model with p error-prone and q error-free covariates, if replicates are available, the GMM approach is based on a 2(p+q) estimating equations if some replicates are available and based on p+2q estimating equations if no replicate is available. The details of the method are described in Nghiem and Potgieter (2020) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa025> and Nghiem and Potgieter (2025) <doi:10.5705/ss.202022.0331>.

Hybrid control design is a way to borrow information from external controls to augment concurrent controls in a randomized controlled trial and is expected to overcome the feasibility issue when adequate randomized controlled trials cannot be conducted. A major challenge in the hybrid control design is its inability to eliminate a prior-data conflict caused by systematic imbalances in measured or unmeasured confounding factors between patients in the concurrent treatment/control group and external controls. To prevent the prior-data conflict, a combined use of propensity score matching and Bayesian commensurate prior has been proposed in the context of hybrid control design. The propensity score matching is first performed to guarantee the balance in baseline characteristics, and then the Bayesian commensurate prior is constructed while discounting the information based on the similarity in outcomes between the concurrent and external controls. psBayesborrow is a package to implement the propensity score matching and the Bayesian analysis with commensurate prior, as well as to conduct a simulation study to assess operating characteristics of the hybrid control design, where users can choose design parameters in flexible and straightforward ways depending on their own application.

This package provides functions that facilitate the elaboration of population pyramids.

Quantile regression with fixed effects is a general model for longitudinal data. Here we proposed to solve it by several methods. The estimation methods include three loss functions as check, asymmetric least square and asymmetric Huber functions; and three structures as simple regression, fixed effects and fixed effects with penalized intercepts by LASSO.

This package provides a function for estimating the transition probabilities in an illness-death model. The transition probabilities can be estimated from the unsmoothed landmark estimators developed by de Una-Alvarez and Meira-Machado (2015) <doi:10.1111/biom.12288>. Presmoothed estimates can also be obtained through the use of a parametric family of binary regression curves, such as logit, probit or cauchit. The additive logistic regression model and nonparametric regression are also alternatives which have been implemented. The idea behind the presmoothed landmark estimators is to use the presmoothing techniques developed by Cao et al. (2005) <doi:10.1007/s00180-007-0076-6> in the landmark estimation of the transition probabilities.
