Reconstruct birth-year specific probabilities of immune imprinting to influenza A, using the methods of Gostic et al. (2016) <doi:10.1126/science.aag1322>. Plot, save, or export the calculated probabilities for use in your own research. By default, the package calculates subtype-specific imprinting probabilities, but with user-provided frequency data, it is possible to calculate probabilities for arbitrary kinds of primary exposure to influenza A, including primary vaccination and exposure to specific clades, strains, etc.

Enables small area estimation (SAE) of health and demographic indicators in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It powers an R shiny application for generating subnational estimates and prevalence maps of 150+ binary indicators from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). It builds on the SAE analysis workflow from the surveyPrev package. For documentation, visit <https://sae4health.stat.uw.edu/>. Methodological details can be found at Wu et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.01467>.

Label propagation approaches are a widely used procedure in computational biology for giving context to molecular entities using network data. Node labels, which can derive from gene expression, genome-wide association studies, protein domains or metabolomics profiling, are propagated to their neighbours in the network, effectively smoothing the scores through prior annotated knowledge and prioritising novel candidates. The R package diffuStats contains a collection of diffusion kernels and scoring approaches that facilitates their computation, characterisation and benchmarking.

An implementation of methods for designing, evaluating, and comparing primer sets for multiplex PCR. Primers are designed by solving a set cover problem such that the number of covered template sequences is maximized with the smallest possible set of primers. To guarantee that high-quality primers are generated, only primers fulfilling constraints on their physicochemical properties are selected. A Shiny app providing a user interface for the functionalities of this package is provided by the openPrimeRui package.

This package provides a number of functions to create and analyze factorial plans according to the Design of Experiments (DoE) approach, with the addition of some utility function to perform some statistical analyses. DoE approach follows the approach in "Design and Analysis of Experiments" by Douglas C. Montgomery (2019, ISBN:978-1-119-49244-3). The package also provides utilities used in the course "Analysis of Data and Statistics" at the University of Trento, Italy.

Blocks units into experimental blocks, with one unit per treatment condition, by creating a measure of multivariate distance between all possible pairs of units. Maximum, minimum, or an allowable range of differences between units on one variable can be set. Randomly assign units to treatment conditions. Diagnose potential interference between units assigned to different treatment conditions. Write outputs to .tex and .csv files. For more information on the methods implemented, see Moore (2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mps025>.

ProTracker is a popular music tracker to sequence music on a Commodore Amiga machine. This package offers the opportunity to import, export, manipulate and play ProTracker module files. Even though the file format could be considered archaic, it still remains popular to this date. This package intends to contribute to this popularity and therewith keeping the legacy of ProTracker and the Commodore Amiga alive. This package is the successor of ProTrackR providing better performance.

Standardized accuracy (staccuracy) is a framework for expressing accuracy scores such that 50% represents a reference level of performance and 100% is a perfect prediction. The staccuracy package provides tools for creating staccuracy functions as well as some recommended staccuracy measures. It also provides functions for some classic performance metrics such as mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC), as well as their winsorized versions when applicable.

The h5Seurat file format is specifically designed for the storage and analysis of multi-modal single-cell and spatially-resolved expression experiments, for example, from CITE-seq or 10X Visium technologies. It holds all molecular information and associated metadata, including (for example) nearest-neighbor graphs, dimensional reduction information, spatial coordinates and image data, and cluster labels. This package also supports rapid and on-disk conversion between h5Seurat and AnnData objects, with the goal of enhancing interoperability between Seurat and Scanpy.

This package implements the hybrid framework for event prediction described in Fang & Zheng (2011, <doi:10.1016/j.cct.2011.05.013>). To estimate the survival function the event prediction is based on, a piecewise exponential hazard function is fit to the time-to-event data to infer the potential change points. Prior to the last identified change point, the survival function is estimated using Kaplan-Meier, and the tail after the change point is fit using piecewise exponential.

Multimodal mediation analysis is an emerging problem in microbiome data analysis. Multimedia make advanced mediation analysis techniques easy to use, ensuring that all statistical components are transparent and adaptable to specific problem contexts. The package provides a uniform interface to direct and indirect effect estimation, synthetic null hypothesis testing, bootstrap confidence interval construction, and sensitivity analysis. More details are available in Jiang et al. (2024) "multimedia: Multimodal Mediation Analysis of Microbiome Data" <doi:10.1101/2024.03.27.587024>.

This package provides a basic interface for accessing annotation data from the Multi-CAST collection, a database of spoken natural language texts edited by Geoffrey Haig and Stefan Schnell. The collection draws from a diverse set of languages and has been annotated across multiple levels. Annotation data is downloaded on request from the servers of the University of Bamberg. See the Multi-CAST website <https://multicast.aspra.uni-bamberg.de/> for more information and a list of related publications.

The function generates and plots random snowflakes. Each snowflake is defined by a given diameter, width of the crystal, color, and random seed. Snowflakes are plotted in such way that they always remain round, no matter what the aspect ratio of the plot is. Snowflakes can be created using transparent colors, which creates a more interesting, somewhat realistic, image. Images of the snowflakes can be separately saved as svg files and used in websites as static or animated images.

Fast, lightweight toolkit for data splitting. Data sets can be partitioned into disjoint groups (e.g. into training, validation, and test) or into (repeated) k-folds for subsequent cross-validation. Besides basic splits, the package supports stratified, grouped as well as blocked splitting. Furthermore, cross-validation folds for time series data can be created. See e.g. Hastie et al. (2001) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-84858-7> for the basic background on data partitioning and cross-validation.

ParMETIS is an MPI-based parallel library that implements a variety of algorithms for partitioning unstructured graphs, meshes, and for computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices. ParMETIS extends the functionality provided by METIS and includes routines that are especially suited for parallel AMR computations and large scale numerical simulations. The algorithms implemented in ParMETIS are based on the parallel multilevel k-way graph-partitioning, adaptive repartitioning, and parallel multi-constrained partitioning schemes developed in our lab.

eudysbiome a package that permits to annotate the differential genera as harmful/harmless based on their ability to contribute to host diseases (as indicated in literature) or unknown based on their ambiguous genus classification. Further, the package statistically measures the eubiotic (harmless genera increase or harmful genera decrease) or dysbiotic(harmless genera decrease or harmful genera increase) impact of a given treatment or environmental change on the (gut-intestinal, GI) microbiome in comparison to the microbiome of the reference condition.

This package provides a multi-task learning approach to variable selection regression with highly correlated predictors and sparse effects, based on frequentist statistical inference. It provides statistical evidence to identify which subsets of predictors have non-zero effects on which subsets of response variables, motivated and designed for colocalization analysis across genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies. The ColocBoost model is described in Cao et. al. (2025) <doi:10.1101/2025.04.17.25326042>.
