Fuzzy set ordination is a multivariate analysis used in ecology to relate the composition of samples to possible explanatory variables. While differing in theory and method, in practice, the use is similar to constrained ordination. The package contains plotting and summary functions as well as the analyses.

This package provides functions for joining data frames based on inexact criteria, including string distance, Manhattan distance, Euclidean distance, and interval overlap. This API is designed as a modern, performance-oriented alternative to the fuzzyjoin package (Robinson 2026) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.fuzzyjoin>. String distance functions utilizing q-grams are adapted with permission from the textdistance Rust crate (Orsinium 2024) <https://docs.rs/textdistance/latest/textdistance/>. Other string distance calculations rely on the rapidfuzz Rust crate (Bachmann 2023) <https://docs.rs/rapidfuzz/0.5.0/rapidfuzz/>. Interval joins are backed by a Adelson-Velsky and Landis tree as implemented by the interavl Rust crate <https://docs.rs/interavl/0.5.0/interavl/>.

Read and write PNG images with arrays, rasters, native rasters, numeric arrays, integer arrays, raw vectors and indexed values. This PNG encoder exposes configurable internal options enabling the user to select a speed-size tradeoff. For example, disabling compression can speed up writing PNG by a factor of 50. Multiple image formats are supported including raster, native rasters, and integer and numeric arrays at color depths of 1, 2, 3 or 4. 16-bit images are also supported. This implementation uses the libspng C library which is available from <https://github.com/randy408/libspng/>.

This package provides efficient methods to compute local and genome wide genetic distances (corresponding to the so called Hudson Fst parameters) through moment method, perform chromosome segmentation into homogeneous Fst genomic regions, and selection sweep detection for multi-population comparison. When multiple profile segmentation is required, the procedure can be parallelized using the future package.

The FMT method computes posterior residual variances to be used in the denominator of a moderated t-statistic from a linear model analysis of gene expression data. It is an extension of the moderated t-statistic originally proposed by Smyth (2004) <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1027>. LOESS local regression and empirical Bayesian method are used to estimate gene specific prior degrees of freedom and prior variance based on average gene intensity levels. The posterior residual variance in the denominator is a weighted average of prior and residual variance and the weights are prior degrees of freedom and residual variance degrees of freedom. The degrees of freedom of the moderated t-statistic is simply the sum of prior and residual variance degrees of freedom.

An R interface to FLINT <https://flintlib.org/>, a C library for number theory. FLINT extends GNU MPFR <https://www.mpfr.org/> and GNU MP <https://gmplib.org/> with support for operations on standard rings (the integers, the integers modulo n, finite fields, the rational, p-adic, real, and complex numbers) as well as matrices and polynomials over rings. FLINT implements midpoint-radius interval arithmetic, also known as ball arithmetic, in the real and complex numbers, enabling computation in arbitrary precision with rigorous propagation of rounding and other errors; see Johansson (2017) <doi:10.1109/TC.2017.2690633>. Finally, FLINT provides ball arithmetic implementations of many special mathematical functions, with high coverage of reference works such as the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions <https://dlmf.nist.gov/>. The R interface defines S4 classes, generic functions, and methods for representation and basic operations as well as plain R functions mirroring and vectorizing entry points in the C library.

Estimates the probability matrix for the RÃ C Ecological Inference problem using the Expectation-Maximization Algorithm with four approximation methods for the E-Step, and an exact method as well. It also provides a bootstrap function to estimate the standard deviation of the estimated probabilities. In addition, it has functions that aggregate rows optimally to have more reliable estimates in cases of having few data points. For comparing the probability estimates of two groups, a Wald test routine is implemented. The library has data from the first round of the Chilean Presidential Election 2021 and can also generate synthetic election data. Methods described in Thraves, Charles; Ubilla, Pablo; Hermosilla, Daniel (2024) A Fast Ecological Inference Algorithm for the RÃ C case <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4832834>.

This package implements methods for analyzing competing risks data in multi-center survival studies using frailty models. The approach relies on a mixed proportional hazards model for the sub-distribution, allowing for cluster-specific random effects. The package provides tools for model estimation with or without frailty using Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML). It supports flexible modeling of between-center heterogeneity and is particularly suited for multi-center clinical trials or registries. Core features include data simulation, likelihood computation, cluster-dependent censoring options, and testing of frailty effects. For methodological details, see Katsahian et al. (2006) <doi:10.1002/sim.2684>.

Fuzzy forests, a new algorithm based on random forests, is designed to reduce the bias seen in random forest feature selection caused by the presence of correlated features. Fuzzy forests uses recursive feature elimination random forests to select features from separate blocks of correlated features where the correlation within each block of features is high and the correlation between blocks of features is low. One final random forest is fit using the surviving features. This package fits random forests using the randomForest package and allows for easy use of WGCNA to split features into distinct blocks. See D. Conn, Ngun, T., C. Ramirez, and G. Li (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i09> for further details.

Tabacchi et al. (2011) published a very detailed study producing a uniform system of functions to estimate tree volume and phytomass components (stem, branches, stool). The estimates of the 2005 Italian forest inventory (<https://www.inventarioforestale.org/it/>) are based on these functions. The study documents the domain of applicability of each function and the equations to quantify estimates accuracies for individual estimates as well as for aggregated estimates. This package makes the functions available in the R environment. Version 2 exposes two distinct functions for individual and summary estimates. To facilitate access to the functions, tree species identification is now based on EPPO species codes (<https://data.eppo.int/>).

This package provides a formula-based wrapper around glmnet that brings the glm()'-compatible modeling workflow to regularized generalized linear models. Training-time terms', xlevels', and contrasts are stored on the fit object and reused at predict time, so the design matrix is reconstructed consistently across sessions. Complete-case bookkeeping is exposed via nobs_info', and linearly dependent columns are detected by a QR pivot and reported as NA in coef() and summary() (the stats::glm() convention), distinguishing "not identifiable" from "shrunk to zero by the penalty". Novel factor levels at predict time raise the same error stats::predict.glm() does by default, with on_new_levels = "na" as a production-style opt-in. Accepts character family strings ('gaussian', binomial', poisson', cox', multinomial', mgaussian') and any glm family object the underlying glmnet itself accepts, including Gamma and fixed-theta negative binomial via MASS::negative.binomial'.

Package for parametric relative survival analyses. It allows to model non-linear and non-proportional effects and both non proportional and non linear effects, using splines (B-spline and truncated power basis), Weighted Cumulative Index of Exposure effect, with correction model for the life table. Both non proportional and non linear effects are described in Remontet, L. et al. (2007) <doi:10.1002/sim.2656> and Mahboubi, A. et al. (2011) <doi:10.1002/sim.4208>.

Recent technological advances have enable the simultaneous collection of multi-omics data i.e., different types or modalities of molecular data, presenting challenges for integrative prediction modeling due to the heterogeneous, high-dimensional nature and possible missing modalities of some individuals. We introduce this package for late integrative prediction modeling, enabling modality-specific variable selection and prediction modeling, followed by the aggregation of the modality-specific predictions to train a final meta-model. This package facilitates conducting late integration predictive modeling in a systematic, structured, and reproducible way.

This package provides a collection of user-friendly functions for assessing and visualizing fragility of individual studies (Walsh et al., 2014 <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2013.10.019>; Lin, 2021 <doi:10.1111/jep.13428>), conventional pairwise meta-analyses (Atal et al., 2019 <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2019.03.012>), and network meta-analyses of multiple treatments with binary outcomes (Xing et al., 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2020.07.003>). The included functions are designed to: 1) calculate the fragility index (i.e., the minimal event status modifications that can alter the significance or non-significance of the original result) and fragility quotient (i.e., fragility index divided by sample size) at a specific significance level; 2) give the cases of event status modifications for altering the result's significance or non-significance and visualize these cases; 3) visualize the trend of statistical significance as event status is modified; 4) efficiently derive fragility indexes and fragility quotients at multiple significance levels, and visualize the relationship between these fragility measures against the significance levels; and 5) calculate fragility indexes and fragility quotients of multiple datasets (e.g., a collection of clinical trials or meta-analyses) and produce plots of their overall distributions. The outputs from these functions may inform the robustness of clinical results in terms of statistical significance and aid the interpretation of fragility measures. The usage of this package is illustrated in Lin et al. (2023 <doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2022.08.053>) and detailed in Lin and Chu (2022 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0268754>).
