GPUs are great resources for data analysis, especially in statistics and linear algebra. Unfortunately, very few packages connect R to the GPU, and none of them are transparent enough to run the computations on the GPU without substantial changes to the code. The maintenance of these packages is cumbersome: several of the earlier attempts have been removed from their respective repositories. It would be desirable to have a properly maintained R package that takes advantage of the GPU with minimal changes to the existing code. We have developed the GPUmatrix package (available on CRAN). GPUmatrix mimics the behavior of the Matrix package and extends R to use the GPU for computations. It includes single(FP32) and double(FP64) precision data types, and provides support for sparse matrices. It is easy to learn, and requires very few code changes to perform the operations on the GPU. GPUmatrix relies on either the Torch or Tensorflow R packages to perform the GPU operations. We have demonstrated its usefulness for several statistical applications and machine learning applications: non-negative matrix factorization, logistic regression and general linear models. We have also included a comparison of GPU and CPU performance on different matrix operations.

This package provides R functions to access the API of the project and repository management web application GitLab'. For many common tasks (repository file access, issue assignment and status, commenting) convenience wrappers are provided, and in addition the full API can be used by specifying request locations. GitLab is open-source software and can be self-hosted or used on <https://about.gitlab.com>.

This package infers state-recorded gender categories from first names and dates of birth using historical datasets. By using these datasets instead of lists of male and female names, this package is able to more accurately infer the gender of a name, and it is able to report the probability that a name was male or female. GUIDELINES: This method must be used cautiously and responsibly. Please be sure to see the guidelines and warnings about usage in the README or the package documentation. See Blevins and Mullen (2015) <http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/9/3/000223/000223.html>.

The getDTeval() function facilitates the translation of the original coding statement to an optimized form for improved runtime efficiency without compromising on the programmatic coding design. The function can either provide a translation of the coding statement, directly evaluate the translation to return a coding result, or provide both of these outputs.

This package provides a set of accessible and automated functions to apply statistical models such as Simple Linear Regression (RLS, from the Spanish Regresión Lineal Simple'), Multiple Linear Regression (RLM, from the Spanish Regresión Lineal Múltiple'), Generalized Linear Models (GLM), and time series analysis through Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models. Designed to support teaching at the Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, it facilitates results interpretation and assumption validation through automatic graphical diagnostics. Methods for regression and time series are based on Montgomery et al. (2021, ISBN:978-1119570141) and Box & Jenkins (1970, ISBN:978-0816211043).

Quantifying systematic heterogeneity in meta-analysis using R. The M statistic aggregates heterogeneity information across multiple variants to, identify systematic heterogeneity patterns and their direction of effect in meta-analysis. It's primary use is to identify outlier studies, which either show "null" effects or consistently show stronger or weaker genetic effects than average across, the panel of variants examined in a GWAS meta-analysis. In contrast to conventional heterogeneity metrics (Q-statistic, I-squared and tau-squared) which measure random heterogeneity at individual variants, M measures systematic (non-random) heterogeneity across multiple independently associated variants. Systematic heterogeneity can arise in a meta-analysis due to differences in the study characteristics of participating studies. Some of the differences may include: ancestry, allele frequencies, phenotype definition, age-of-disease onset, family-history, gender, linkage disequilibrium and quality control thresholds. See <https://magosil86.github.io/getmstatistic/> for statistical statistical theory, documentation and examples.

Understanding spatial association is essential for spatial statistical inference, including factor exploration and spatial prediction. Geographically optimal similarity (GOS) model is an effective method for spatial prediction, as described in Yongze Song (2022) <doi:10.1007/s11004-022-10036-8>. GOS was developed based on the geographical similarity principle, as described in Axing Zhu (2018) <doi:10.1080/19475683.2018.1534890>. GOS has advantages in more accurate spatial prediction using fewer samples and critically reduced prediction uncertainty.

It also allows estimating models with discrete heterogeneity such as the latent class and the mixed-mixed multinomial logit model.

This package implements the GALAHAD algorithm (Geometry-Adaptive Lyapunov-Assured Hybrid Optimizer), updated in version 2 to replace the hard-clamp positivity constraint of v1 with a numerically smooth softplus reparameterization, add rho-based trust-region adaptation (actual vs. predicted objective reduction), extend convergence detection to include both absolute and relative function-stall criteria, and enrich the per-iteration history with Armijo backtrack counts and trust-region quality ratios. Parameters constrained to be positive (rates, concentrations, scale parameters) are handled in a transformed z-space via the softplus map so that gradients remain well-defined at the constraint boundary. A two-partition API (positive / euclidean) replaces the three-way T/P/E partition of v1; the legacy form is still accepted for backwards compatibility. Designed for biological modeling problems (germination, dose-response, prion RT-QuIC, survival) where rates, concentrations, and unconstrained coefficients coexist. Developed at the Minnesota Center for Prion Research and Outreach (MNPRO), University of Minnesota. Based on Conn et al.

Functionalities to compute model based genetic components i.e. genotypic variance, phenotypic variance and heritability for given traits of different genotypes from replicated data using methodology explained by Burton, G. W. & Devane, E. H. (1953) (<doi:10.2134/agronj1953.00021962004500100005x>) and Allard, R.W. (2010, ISBN:8126524154).

In statistical modeling, there is a wide variety of regression models for categorical dependent variables (nominal or ordinal data); yet, there is no software embracing all these models together in a uniform and generalized format. Following the methodology proposed by Peyhardi, Trottier, and Guédon (2015) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asv042>, we introduce GLMcat', an R package to estimate generalized linear models implemented under the unified specification (r, F, Z). Where r represents the ratio of probabilities (reference, cumulative, adjacent, or sequential), F the cumulative cdf function for the linkage, and Z, the design matrix. The package accompanies the paper "GLMcat: An R Package for Generalized Linear Models for Categorical Responses" in the Journal of Statistical Software, Volume 114, Issue 9 (see <doi:10.18637/jss.v114.i09>).

Automatically performs desired statistical tests (e.g. wilcox.test(), t.test()) to compare between groups, and adds the resulting p-values to the plot with an annotation bar. Visualizing group differences are frequently performed by boxplots, bar plots, etc. Statistical test results are often needed to be annotated on these plots. This package provides a convenient function that works on ggplot2 objects, performs the desired statistical test between groups of interest and annotates the test results on the plot.
