Package implements Kernel-based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS), a machine learning method to fit multidimensional functions y=f(x) for regression and classification problems without relying on linearity or additivity assumptions. KRLS finds the best fitting function by minimizing the squared loss of a Tikhonov regularization problem, using Gaussian kernels as radial basis functions. For further details see Hainmueller and Hazlett (2014).

Implementations of the kernel measure of multi-sample dissimilarity (KMD) between several samples using K-nearest neighbor graphs and minimum spanning trees. The KMD measures the dissimilarity between multiple samples, based on the observations from them. It converges to the population quantity (depending on the kernel) which is between 0 and 1. A small value indicates the multiple samples are from the same distribution, and a large value indicates the corresponding distributions are different. The population quantity is 0 if and only if all distributions are the same, and 1 if and only if all distributions are mutually singular. The package also implements the tests based on KMD for H0: the M distributions are equal against H1: not all the distributions are equal. Both permutation test and asymptotic test are available. These tests are consistent against all alternatives where at least two samples have different distributions. For more details on KMD and the associated tests, see Huang, Z. and B. Sen (2022) <arXiv:2210.00634>.

This package provides tools for applying Krippendorff's Alpha methodology <DOI:10.1080/19312450709336664>. Both the customary methodology and Hughes methodology <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2210.13265> are supported, the former being preferred for larger datasets, the latter for smaller datasets. The framework supports common and user-defined distance functions, and can accommodate any number of units, any number of coders, and missingness. Interval estimation can be done in parallel for either methodology.

This package provides a wrapper for querying WISKI databases via the KiWIS REST API. WISKI is an SQL relational database used for the collection and storage of water data developed by KISTERS and KiWIS is a REST service that provides access to WISKI databases via HTTP requests (<https://www.kisters.eu/water-weather-and-environment/>). Contains a list of default databases (called hubs') and also allows users to provide their own KiWIS URL. Supports the entire query process- from metadata to specific time series values. All data is returned as tidy tibbles.

Implementation for kernel functional partial least squares (KFPLS) method. KFPLS method is developed for functional nonlinear models, and the method does not require strict constraints for the nonlinear structures. The crucial function of this package is KFPLS().

The number of clusters (k) is needed to start all the partitioning clustering algorithms. An optimal value of this input argument is widely determined by using some internal validity indices. Since most of the existing internal indices suggest a k value which is computed from the clustering results after several runs of a clustering algorithm they are computationally expensive. On the contrary, the package kpeaks enables to estimate k before running any clustering algorithm. It is based on a simple novel technique using the descriptive statistics of peak counts of the features in a data set.

Computes the Kantorovich distance between two probability measures on a finite set. The Kantorovich distance is also known as the Monge-Kantorovich distance or the first Wasserstein distance.

This package provides useful functions which are needed for bioinformatic analysis such as calculating linear principal components from numeric data and Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset, calculating fixation index (Fst) using Hudson method, creating scatter plots in 3 views, handling with PLINK binary file format, detecting rough structures and outliers using unsupervised clustering, and calculating matrix multiplication in the faster way for big data.

This package provides functions for simulating and estimating kinship-related dispersal. Based on the methods described in M. Jasper, T.L. Schmidt., N.W. Ahmad, S.P. Sinkins & A.A. Hoffmann (2019) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13043> "A genomic approach to inferring kinship reveals limited intergenerational dispersal in the yellow fever mosquito". Assumes an additive variance model of dispersal in two dimensions, compatible with Wright's neighbourhood area. Simple and composite dispersal simulations are supplied, as well as the functions needed to estimate parent-offspring dispersal for simulated or empirical data, and to undertake sampling design for future field studies of dispersal. For ease of use an integrated Shiny app is also included.

The K-sample omnibus non-proportional hazards (KONP) tests are powerful non-parametric tests for comparing K (>=2) hazard functions based on right-censored data (Gorfine, Schlesinger and Hsu, 2020, <doi:10.1177/0962280220907355>). These tests are consistent against any differences between the hazard functions of the groups. The KONP tests are often more powerful than other existing tests, especially under non-proportional hazard functions.

This package provides data for Kaya identity variables (population, gross domestic product, primary energy consumption, and energy-related CO2 emissions) for the world and for individual nations, and utility functions for looking up data, plotting trends of Kaya variables, and plotting the fuel mix for a given country or region. The Kaya identity (Yoichi Kaya and Keiichi Yokobori, "Environment, Energy, and Economy: Strategies for Sustainability" (United Nations University Press, 1998) and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaya_identity>) expresses a nation's or region's greenhouse gas emissions in terms of its population, per-capita Gross Domestic Product, the energy intensity of its economy, and the carbon-intensity of its energy supply.

Knowledge space theory by Doignon and Falmagne (1999) <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-58625-5> is a set- and order-theoretical framework which proposes mathematical formalisms to operationalize knowledge structures in a particular domain. The kstIO package provides basic functionalities to read and write KST data from/to files to be used together with the kst', kstMatrix', CDSS', pks', or DAKS packages.

This is a stochastic framework that combines biochemical reaction networks with extended Kalman filter and Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoothing. This framework allows to investigate the dynamics of cell differentiation from high-dimensional clonal tracking data subject to measurement noise, false negative errors, and systematically unobserved cell types. Our tool can provide statistical support to biologists in gene therapy clonal tracking studies for a deeper understanding of clonal reconstitution dynamics. Further details on the methods can be found in L. Del Core et al., (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.07.08.499353>.

This is designed for use with an arbitrary set of equations with an arbitrary set of unknowns. The user selects "fixed" values for enough unknowns to leave as many variables as there are equations, which in most cases means the system is properly defined and a unique solution exists. The function, the fixed values and initial values for the remaining unknowns are fed to a nonlinear backsolver. The original version of "TK!Solver" , now a product of Universal Technical Systems (<https://www.uts.com>) was the inspiration for this function.

It also allows to compute time point estimates and density estimates of the occupation and duration of an archaeological site.

Statistical methods that quantify the conditions necessary to alter inferences, also known as sensitivity analysis, are becoming increasingly important to a variety of quantitative sciences. A series of recent works, including Frank (2000) <doi:10.1177/0049124100029002001> and Frank et al. (2013) <doi:10.3102/0162373713493129> extend previous sensitivity analyses by considering the characteristics of omitted variables or unobserved cases that would change an inference if such variables or cases were observed. These analyses generate statements such as "an omitted variable would have to be correlated at xx with the predictor of interest (e.g., the treatment) and outcome to invalidate an inference of a treatment effect". Or "one would have to replace pp percent of the observed data with nor which the treatment had no effect to invalidate the inference". We implement these recent developments of sensitivity analysis and provide modules to calculate these two robustness indices and generate such statements in R. In particular, the functions konfound(), pkonfound() and mkonfound() allow users to calculate the robustness of inferences for a user's own model, a single published study and multiple studies respectively.
