Set of the data science tools created by various members of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) community. These functions were initially written largely as standalone operations and have later been aggregated into this package.

Implementation of the drift-diffusion mixed model for category learning as described in Paulon et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1801448>.

Based on right or interval censored data, compute the maximum likelihood estimator of a (sub)probability density under the assumption that it is log-concave. For further information see Duembgen, Rufibach and Schuhmacher (2014) <doi:10.1214/14-EJS930>.

This package implements novel nonparametric approaches to address biases and confounding when comparing treatments or exposures in observational studies of outcomes. While designed and appropriate for use in studies involving medicine and the life sciences, the package can be used in other situations involving outcomes with multiple confounders. The package implements a family of methods for non-parametric bias correction when comparing treatments in observational studies, including survival analysis settings, where competing risks and/or censoring may be present. The approach extends to bias-corrected personalized predictions of treatment outcome differences, and analysis of heterogeneity of treatment effect-sizes across patient subgroups.

This package provides regularized structural equation modeling (regularized SEM) with non-smooth penalty functions (e.g., lasso) building on lavaan'. The package is heavily inspired by the ['regsem'](<https://github.com/Rjacobucci/regsem>) and ['lslx'](<https://github.com/psyphh/lslx>) packages.

This package provides a method for detecting multiple change points in high-dimensional time series, targeting dense or spatially clustered signals. See Li et al. (2023) "L2 Inference for Change Points in High-Dimensional Time Series via a Two-Way MOSUM". arXiv preprint <arXiv:2208.13074>.

This package provides a bridge between the loon and ggplot2 packages. Extends the grammar of ggplot to add clauses to create interactive loon plots. Existing ggplot(s) can be turned into interactive loon plots and loon plots into static ggplot(s); the function loon.ggplot() is the bridge from one plot structure to the other.

This package contains a set of functions to create data libraries, generate data dictionaries, and simulate a data step. The libname() function will load a directory of data into a library in one line of code. The dictionary() function will generate data dictionaries for individual data frames or an entire library. And the datestep() function will perform row-by-row data processing.

Estimate, fit and compare Structural Equation Models (SEM) and network models (Gaussian Graphical Models; GGM) using OpenMx. Allows for two possible generalizations to include GGMs in SEM: GGMs can be used between latent variables (latent network modeling; LNM) or between residuals (residual network modeling; RNM). For details, see Epskamp, Rhemtulla and Borsboom (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9557-x>.

This package provides a suite of tools for estimating, assessing model fit, simulating from, and visualizing location dependent marked point processes characterized by regularity in the pattern. You provide a reference marked point process, a set of raster images containing location specific covariates, and select the estimation algorithm and type of mark model. ldmppr estimates the process and mark models and allows you to check the appropriateness of the model using a variety of diagnostic tools. Once a satisfactory model fit is obtained, you can simulate from the model and visualize the results. Documentation for the package ldmppr is available in the form of a vignette.

This package provides a framework that allows for easy logging of changes in data. Main features: start tracking changes by adding a single line of code to an existing script. Track changes in multiple datasets, using multiple loggers. Add custom-built loggers or use loggers offered by other packages. <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i01>.

Sparklines are small plots (about one line of text high), made popular by Edward Tufte. This package is the interface from R to the LaTeX package sparklines by Andreas Loeffer and Dan Luecking (<http://www.ctan.org/pkg/sparklines>). It can work with Sweave or knitr or other engines that produce TeX. The package can be used to plot vectors, matrices, data frames, time series (in ts or zoo format).

LineUp is an interactive technique designed to create, visualize and explore rankings of items based on a set of heterogeneous attributes. This is a htmlwidget wrapper around the JavaScript library LineUp.js'. It is designed to be used in R Shiny apps and R Markddown files. Due to an outdated webkit version of RStudio it won't work in the integrated viewer.

Bootstrap routines for nested linear mixed effects models fit using either lme4 or nlme'. The provided bootstrap() function implements the parametric, residual, cases, random effect block (REB), and wild bootstrap procedures. An overview of these procedures can be found in Van der Leeden et al. (2008) <doi: 10.1007/978-0-387-73186-5_11>, Carpenter, Goldstein & Rasbash (2003) <doi: 10.1111/1467-9876.00415>, and Chambers & Chandra (2013) <doi: 10.1080/10618600.2012.681216>.

This package provides a set of functions and tools to conduct acoustic source localization, as well as organize and check localization data and results. The localization functions implement the modified steered response power algorithm described by Cobos et al. (2010) <doi:10.1109/LSP.2010.2091502>.

This package provides extensions to the leaflet package to customize legends with images, text styling, orientation, sizing, and symbology and functions to create symbols to plot on maps.

Due to lack of proper inference procedure and software, the ordinary linear regression model is seldom used in practice for the analysis of right censored data. This paper presents an S-Plus/R program that implements a recently developed inference procedure (Jin, Lin and Ying, 2006) <doi:10.1093/biomet/93.1.147> for the accelerated failure time model based on the least-squares principle.

We provide a solution for performing permutation tests on linear and mixed linear regression models. It allows users to obtain accurate p-values without making distributional assumptions about the data. By generating a null distribution of the test statistics through repeated permutations of the response variable, permutation tests provide a powerful alternative to traditional parameter tests (Holt et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s10683-023-09799-6>). In this early version, we focus on the permutation tests over observed t values of beta coefficients, i.e.original t values generated by parameter tests. After generating a null distribution of the test statistic through repeated permutations of the response variable, each observed t values would be compared to the null distribution to generate a p-value. To improve the efficiency,a stop criterion (Anscombe (1953) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1953.tb00121.x>) is adopted to force permutation to stop if the estimated standard deviation of the value falls below a fraction of the estimated p-value. By doing so, we avoid the need for massive calculations in exact permutation methods while still generating stable and accurate p-values.

Generates data based on latent factor models. Data can be continuous, polytomous, dichotomous, or mixed. Skews, cross-loadings, wording effects, population errors, and local dependencies can be added. All parameters can be manipulated. Data categorization is based on Garrido, Abad, and Ponsoda (2011) <doi:10.1177/0013164410389489>.

This package provides tools to retrieve and summarize taxonomic information and synonymy data for reptile species using data scraped from The Reptile Database website (<https://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/>). Outputs include clean and structured data frames useful for ecological, evolutionary, and conservation research.

Tests whether the linear hypothesis of a model is correct specified using Dominguez-Lobato test. Also Ramsey's RESET (Regression Equation Specification Error Test) test is implemented and Wald tests can be carried out. Although RESET test is widely used to test the linear hypothesis of a model, Dominguez and Lobato (2019) proposed a novel approach that generalizes well known specification tests such as Ramsey's. This test relies on wild-bootstrap; this package implements this approach to be usable with any function that fits linear models and is compatible with the update() function such as stats'::lm(), lfe'::felm() and forecast'::Arima(), for ARMA (autoregressiveâ moving-average) models. Also the package can handle custom statistics such as Cramer von Mises and Kolmogorov Smirnov, described by the authors, and custom distributions such as Mammen (discrete and continuous) and Rademacher.
