Carvalho (2019) presents a statistical evaluation of algorithmic computational experimentation with infeasible solutions <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1902.00101>. Moreira and Carvalho (2023) analyze power in preprocessing methodologies for datasets with missing values <doi:10.1080/03610918.2023.2234683>.

This package provides a collection of advanced tools, methods and models specifically designed for analyzing different types of ecological networks - especially antagonistic (food webs, host-parasite), mutualistic (plant-pollinator, plant-fungus, etc) and competitive networks, as well as their variability in time and space. Statistical models are developed to describe and understand the mechanisms that determine species interactions, and to decipher the organization of these ecological networks (Ohlmann et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/ele.13221>, Gonzalez et al. (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.04.02.021691>, Miele et al. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2103.10433>, Botella et al (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13738>).

The goal of image2data is to extract images and return them into a data set, especially for teaching data manipulation and data visualization. Basically, the eponymous function takes an image file ('png', tiff', jpeg', bmp') and turn it into a data set, pixels being rows (subjects) and columns (variables) being their coordinate positions (x- and y-axis) and their respective color (in hex codes). The function can return a complete image or a range of color (i.e., contour, silhouette). The data can then be manipulated as would any data set by either creating other related variables (to hide the image) or as a genuine toy data set.

This package provides a calculator for the two-dimensional clinical Disease Activity index for Psoriatic Arthritis (TwoDcDAPSA), a principal component-derived measure that complements the conventional clinical DAPSA score. The TwoDcDAPSA captures residual variation in patient-reported outcomes (pain and patient global assessment) and joint counts (swollen and tender) after adjusting for standardized cDAPSA using natural spline coefficients derived from published models. Residuals are standardized and combined with fixed principal component loadings to yield a continuous PROs-Joint Contrast (PJC) score and quartile groupings. The package applies pre-specified coefficients and loadings to new datasets but does not estimate spline models or principal components itself.

This package provides a pipeline for the comparative analysis of collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, baboon troops) by processing 2-dimensional positional data (x,y,t) from GPS trackers or computer vision tracking systems, discretizing events of collective motion, calculating a set of established metrics that characterize each event, and placing the events in a multi-dimensional swarm space constructed from these metrics. The swarm space concept, the metrics and data sets included are described in: Papadopoulou Marina, Furtbauer Ines, O'Bryan Lisa R., Garnier Simon, Georgopoulou Dimitra G., Bracken Anna M., Christensen Charlotte and King Andrew J. (2023) <doi:10.1098/rstb.2022.0068>.

The main aim of this package is to combine the advantage of wavelet and support vector machine models for time series forecasting. This package also gives the accuracy measurements in terms of RMSE and MAPE. This package fits the hybrid Wavelet SVR model for time series forecasting The main aim of this package is to combine the advantage of wavelet and Support Vector Regression (SVR) models for time series forecasting. This package also gives the accuracy measurements in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Prediction Error (MAPE). This package is based on the algorithm of Raimundo and Okamoto (2018) <DOI: 10.1109/INFOCT.2018.8356851>.

High-throughput sequencing technologies allow the production of large volumes of short sequences, which can be aligned to the genome to create a set of matches to the genome. By looking for regions of the genome which to which there are high densities of matches, we can infer a segmentation of the genome into regions of biological significance. The methods in this package allow the simultaneous segmentation of data from multiple samples, taking into account replicate data, in order to create a consensus segmentation. This has obvious applications in a number of classes of sequencing experiments, particularly in the discovery of small RNA loci and novel mRNA transcriptome discovery.

Testing for parallel trends is crucial in the Difference-in-Differences framework. To this end, this package performs equivalence testing in the context of Difference-in-Differences estimation. It allows users to test if pre-treatment trends in the treated group are â equivalentâ to those in the control group. Here, â equivalenceâ means that rejection of the null hypothesis implies that a function of the pre-treatment placebo effects (maximum absolute, average or root mean squared value) does not exceed a pre-specified threshold below which trend differences are considered negligible. The package is based on the theory developed in Dette & Schumann (2024) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2024.2308121>.

Allows access to data in running instance of Microsoft Excel (e. g. xl[a1] = xl[b2]*3 and so on). Graphics can be transferred with xl[a1] = current.graphics()'. Additionally there are function for reading/writing Excel files - xl.read.file'/'xl.save.file'. They are not fast but able to read/write *.xlsb'-files and password-protected files. There is an Excel workbook with examples of calling R from Excel in the doc folder. It tries to keep things as simple as possible - there are no needs in any additional installations besides R, only VBA code in the Excel workbook. Microsoft Excel is required for this package.

This package implements an empirical approach referred to as PeakTrace which uses multiple hydrographs to detect and follow hydropower plant-specific hydropeaking waves at the sub-catchment scale and to describe how hydropeaking flow parameters change along the longitudinal flow path. The method is based on the identification of associated events and uses (linear) regression models to describe translation and retention processes between neighboring hydrographs. Several regression model results are combined to arrive at a power plant-specific model. The approach is proposed and validated in Greimel et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/rra.3978>. The identification of associated events is based on the event detection implemented in hydropeak'.

Use standard genomics file format (BED) and a table of orthologs to illustrate synteny conservation at the genome-wide scale. Significantly conserved linkage groups are identified as described in Simakov et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41559-020-1156-z> and displayed on an Oxford Grid (Edwards (1991) <doi:10.1111/j.1469-1809.1991.tb00394.x>) or a chord diagram as in Simakov et al. (2022) <doi:10.1126/sciadv.abi5884>. The package provides a function that uses a network-based greedy algorithm to find communities (Clauset et al. (2004) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.70.066111>) and so automatically order the chromosomes on the plot to improve interpretability.

Allows production of Microsoft corporate documents from R Markdown by reusing formatting defined in Microsoft Word documents. You can reuse table styles, list styles but also add column sections, landscape oriented pages. Table and image captions as well as cross-references are transformed into Microsoft Word fields, allowing documents edition and merging without issue with references; the syntax conforms to the bookdown cross-reference definition. Objects generated by the officer package are also supported in the knitr chunks. Microsoft PowerPoint presentations also benefit from this as well as the ability to produce editable vector graphics in PowerPoint and also to define placeholder where content is to be added.

Model-implied simulation-based power estimation (MSPE) for nonlinear (and linear) SEM, path analysis and regression analysis. A theoretical framework is used to approximate the relation between power and sample size for given type I error rates and effect sizes. The package offers an adaptive search algorithm to find the optimal N for given effect sizes and type I error rates. Plots can be used to visualize the power relation to N for different parameters of interest (POI). Theoretical justifications are given in Irmer et al. (2024a) <doi:10.31219/osf.io/pe5bj> and detailed description are given in Irmer et al. (2024b) <doi:10.3758/s13428-024-02476-3>.

Survival analysis using a flexible Bayesian model for individual-level right-censored data, optionally combined with aggregate data on counts of survivors in different periods of time. An M-spline is used to describe the hazard function, with a prior on the coefficients that controls over-fitting. Proportional hazards or flexible non-proportional hazards models can be used to relate survival to predictors. Additive hazards (relative survival) models, waning treatment effects, and mixture cure models are also supported. Priors can be customised and calibrated to substantive beliefs. Posterior distributions are estimated using Stan', and outputs are arranged in a tidy format. See Jackson (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12874-023-02094-1>.

Core Hunter is a tool to sample diverse, representative subsets from large germplasm collections, with minimum redundancy. Such so-called core collections have applications in plant breeding and genetic resource management in general. Core Hunter can construct cores based on genetic marker data, phenotypic traits or precomputed distance matrices, optimizing one of many provided evaluation measures depending on the precise purpose of the core (e.g. high diversity, representativeness, or allelic richness). In addition, multiple measures can be simultaneously optimized as part of a weighted index to bring the different perspectives closer together. The Core Hunter library is implemented in Java 8 as an open source project (see <http://www.corehunter.org>).

This package provides tools for quantitative analysis in gender studies, including functions to calculate various gender inequality metrics such as the Gender Pay Gap, Gender Inequality Index (GII), Gender Development Index (GDI), and Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM). Also includes extracted secondary example datasets for practice and learning purposes, which were obtained from the UNDP Human Development Reports Data Center and the World Bank Gender Data Portal by the author the dataset is available on <doi:10.34740/kaggle/dsv/6359326>.

This package implements various heuristics like Take The Best and unit-weight linear, which do two-alternative choice: which of two objects will have a higher criterion? Also offers functions to assess performance, e.g. percent correct across all row pairs in a data set and finding row pairs where models disagree. New models can be added by implementing a fit and predict function-- see vignette. Take The Best was first described in: Gigerenzer, G. & Goldstein, D. G. (1996) <doi:10.1037/0033-295X.103.4.650>. All of these heuristics were run on many data sets and analyzed in: Gigerenzer, G., Todd, P. M., & the ABC Group (1999). <ISBN:978-0195143812>.

This package provides methods for inference about/under complex relationships using peak height data from DNA mixtures: the most basic example would be testing whether a contributor to a mixture is the father of a child of known genotype. This provides most of the functionality of the KinMix package, but with some loss of efficiency and restriction on problem size, as the latter uses RHugin as the Bayes net engine, while this package uses gRain'. The package implements the methods introduced in Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2017.02.001> and Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2021) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12498>.

Modifying a load shape to match specific peak and load factor is a fundamental component for various power system planning and operation studies. This package is an efficient tool to modify a reference load shape while matching the desired peak and load factor. The package offers both linear and non-linear method, described in <https://rpubs.com/riazakhan94/load_shape_match_peak_energy>. The user can control the shape of the final load shape by regulating certain parameters. The package provides validation metrics for assessing the derived load shape in terms of preserving time series properties. It also offers powerful graphics, that allows the user to visually assess the derived load shape.

With high-dimensional omics features, repeated measure ANOVA leads to longitudinal gene-environment interaction studies that have intra-cluster correlations, outlying observations and structured sparsity arising from the ANOVA design. In this package, we have developed robust sparse Bayesian mixed effect models tailored for the above studies (Fan et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/jrsssc/qlaf027>). An efficient Gibbs sampler has been developed to facilitate fast computation. The Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms of the proposed and alternative methods are efficiently implemented in C++'. The development of this software package and the associated statistical methods have been partially supported by an Innovative Research Award from Johnson Cancer Research Center, Kansas State University.

This package provides a framework for evaluating drug combination effects in preclinical in vivo studies. SynergyLMM provides functions to analyze longitudinal tumor growth experiments using mixed-effects models, perform time-resolved analyses of synergy and antagonism, evaluate model diagnostics and performance, and assess both post-hoc and a priori statistical power. The calculation of drug combination synergy follows the statistical framework provided by Demidenko and Miller (2019, <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0224137>). The implementation and analysis of linear mixed-effect models is based on the methods described by Pinheiro and Bates (2000, <doi:10.1007/b98882>), and GaÅ ecki and Burzykowski (2013, <doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-3900-4>).

Computing diversity measures on tripartite graphs. This package first implements a parametrized family of such diversity measures which apply on probability distributions. Sometimes called "True Diversity", this family contains famous measures such as the richness, the Shannon entropy, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, and the Berger-Parker index. Second, the package allows to apply these measures on probability distributions resulting from random walks between the levels of tripartite graphs. By defining an initial distribution at a given level of the graph and a path to follow between the three levels, the probability of the walker's position within the final level is then computed, thus providing a particular instance of diversity to measure.

Provide estimation and data generation tools for new multivariate frailty models. This version includes the gamma, inverse Gaussian, weighted Lindley, Birnbaum-Saunders, truncated normal, mixture of inverse Gaussian, mixture of Birnbaum-Saunders, generalized exponential and Jorgensen-Seshadri-Whitmore as the distribution for frailty terms. For the basal model, it is considered a parametric approach based on the exponential, Weibull and the piecewise exponential distributions as well as a semiparametric approach.
