The function get_parameters() is intended to be used within a docker container to read keyword arguments from a .json file automagically. A tool.yaml file contains specifications on these keyword arguments, which are then passed as input to containerized R tools in the [tool-runner framework](<https://github.com/hydrocode-de/tool-runner>). A template for a containerized R tool, which can be used as a basis for developing new tools, is available at the following URL: <https://github.com/VForWaTer/tool_template_r>.

Provide routines for filtering and smoothing, forecasting, sampling and Bayesian analysis of Dynamic Generalized Linear Models using the methodology described in Alves et al. (2024)<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2201.05387> and dos Santos Jr. et al. (2024)<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2403.13069>.

S4 tool box for capacity (or non-additive measure, fuzzy measure) and integral manipulation in a finite setting. It contains routines for handling various types of set functions such as games or capacities. It can be used to compute several non-additive integrals: the Choquet integral, the Sugeno integral, and the symmetric and asymmetric Choquet integrals. An analysis of capacities in terms of decision behavior can be performed through the computation of various indices such as the Shapley value, the interaction index, the orness degree, etc. The well-known Möbius transform, as well as other equivalent representations of set functions can also be computed. Kappalab further contains seven capacity identification routines: three least squares based approaches, a method based on linear programming, a maximum entropy like method based on variance minimization, a minimum distance approach and an unsupervised approach based on parametric entropies. The functions contained in Kappalab can for instance be used in the framework of multicriteria decision making or cooperative game theory.

Understanding the current status of forest resources is essential for monitoring changes in forest ecosystems and generating related statistics. In South Korea, the National Forest Inventory (NFI) surveys over 4,500 sample plots nationwide every five years and records 70 items, including forest stand, forest resource, and forest vegetation surveys. Many researchers use NFI as the primary data for research, such as biomass estimation or analyzing the importance value of each species over time and space, depending on the research purpose. However, the large volume of accumulated forest survey data from across the country can make it challenging to manage and utilize such a vast dataset. To address this issue, we developed an R package that efficiently handles large-scale NFI data across time and space. The package offers a comprehensive workflow for NFI data analysis. It starts with data processing, where read_nfi() function reconstructs NFI data according to the researcher's needs while performing basic integrity checks for data quality.Following this, the package provides analytical tools that operate on the verified data. These include functions like summary_nfi() for summary statistics, diversity_nfi() for biodiversity analysis, iv_nfi() for calculating species importance value, and biomass_nfi() and cwd_biomass_nfi() for biomass estimation. Finally, for visualization, the tsvis_nfi() function generates graphs and maps, allowing users to visualize forest ecosystem changes across various spatial and temporal scales. This integrated approach and its specialized functions can enhance the efficiency of processing and analyzing NFI data, providing researchers with insights into forest ecosystems. The NFI Excel files (.xlsx) are not included in the R package and must be downloaded separately. Users can access these NFI Excel files by visiting the Korea Forest Service Forestry Statistics Platform <https://kfss.forest.go.kr/stat/ptl/article/articleList.do?curMenu=11694&bbsId=microdataboard> to download the annual NFI Excel files, which are bundled in .zip archives. Please note that this website is only available in Korean, and direct download links can be found in the notes section of the read_nfi() function.

This package provides a phenotype-aware algorithm for resolving cryptic relatedness in genetic studies. It removes related individuals based on kinship or identity-by-descent (IBD) scores while prioritizing subjects with phenotypes of interest. This approach helps maximize the retention of informative subjects, particularly for rare or valuable traits, and improves statistical power in genetic and epidemiological studies. KDPS supports both categorical and quantitative phenotypes, composite scoring, and customizable pruning strategies using a fuzziness parameter. Benchmark results show improved phenotype retention and high computational efficiency on large-scale datasets like the UK Biobank. Methods used include Manichaikul et al. (2010) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq559> for kinship estimation, Purcell et al. (2007) <doi:10.1086/519795> for IBD estimation, and Bycroft et al. (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0579-z> for UK Biobank data reference.

The kernelized version of principal component analysis (KPCA) has proven to be a valid nonlinear alternative for tackling the nonlinearity of biological sample spaces. However, it poses new challenges in terms of the interpretability of the original variables. kpcaIG aims to provide a tool to select the most relevant variables based on the kernel PCA representation of the data as in Briscik et al.
