This package implements bootstrap methods for linear regression models with errors following a time-varying process, focusing on approximating the distribution of the least-squares estimator for regression models with locally stationary errors. It enables the construction of bootstrap and classical confidence intervals for regression coefficients, leveraging intensive simulation studies and real data analysis.

This package produces high resolution, publication ready linkage maps and quantitative trait loci maps. Input can be output from R/qtl', simple text or comma delimited files. Output is currently a portable document file.

Implementation of the algorithm introduced in Shah, R. D. (2016) <https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume17/13-515/13-515.pdf>. Data with thousands of predictors can be handled. The algorithm performs sequential Lasso fits on design matrices containing increasing sets of candidate interactions. Previous fits are used to greatly speed up subsequent fits, so the algorithm is very efficient.

Shiny apps for the quantitative analysis of images from lateral flow assays (LFAs). The images are segmented and background corrected and color intensities are extracted. The apps can be used to import and export intensity data and to calibrate LFAs by means of linear, loess, or gam models. The calibration models can further be saved and applied to intensity data from new images for determining concentrations.

Estimation of the local false discovery rate using the method of moments.

This package provides a fast generalized edit distance and string alignment computation mainly for linguistic aims. As a generalization to the classic edit distance algorithms, the package allows users to define custom cost for every symbol's insertion, deletion, and substitution. The package also allows character combinations in any length to be seen as a single symbol which is very useful for International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions with diacritics. In addition to edit distance result, users can get detailed alignment information such as all possible alignment scenarios between two strings which is useful for testing, illustration or any further usage. Either the distance matrix or its long table form can be obtained and tools to do such conversions are provided. All functions in the package are implemented in C++ and the distance matrix computation is parallelized leveraging the RcppThread package.

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.

Statistical tests widely utilized in biostatistics, public policy, and law. Along with the well-known tests for equality of means and variances, randomness, and measures of relative variability, the package contains new robust tests of symmetry, omnibus and directional tests of normality, and their graphical counterparts such as robust QQ plot, robust trend tests for variances, etc. All implemented tests and methods are illustrated by simulations and real-life examples from legal statistics, economics, and biostatistics.

Calculates and plots Handedness index (HI), absolute HI, mean HI and z-score which are commonly used indexes for the study of hand preference (laterality) in non-human primates.

Fast estimation of multinomial (MNL) and mixed logit (MXL) models in R. Models can be estimated using "Preference" space or "Willingness-to-pay" (WTP) space utility parameterizations. Weighted models can also be estimated. An option is available to run a parallelized multistart optimization loop with random starting points in each iteration, which is useful for non-convex problems like MXL models or models with WTP space utility parameterizations. The main optimization loop uses the nloptr package to minimize the negative log-likelihood function. Additional functions are available for computing and comparing WTP from both preference space and WTP space models and for predicting expected choices and choice probabilities for sets of alternatives based on an estimated model. Mixed logit models can include uncorrelated or correlated heterogeneity covariances and are estimated using maximum simulated likelihood based on the algorithms in Train (2009) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511805271>. More details can be found in Helveston (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i10>.
