Generates derived parameter(s) from Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) samples using R code. This allows Bayesian models to be fitted without the inclusion of derived parameters which add unnecessary clutter and slow model fitting. For more information on MCMC samples see Brooks et al. (2011) <isbn:978-1-4200-7941-8>.

This package provides utilities for reading and processing microdata from Spanish official statistics with R.

Fit (by Maximum Likelihood or MCMC/Bayesian), simulate, and forecast various Markov-Switching GARCH models as described in Ardia et al. (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i04>.

This package provides functions for comparing survival curves using the max-combo test at a single timepoint or repeatedly at successive respective timepoints while controlling type I error (i.e., the group sequential setting), as published by Prior (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220931560>. The max-combo test is a generalization of the weighted log-rank test, which itself is a generalization of the log-rank test, which is a commonly used statistical test for comparing survival curves, e.g., during or after a clinical trial as part of an effort to determine if a new drug or therapy is more effective at delaying undesirable outcomes than an established drug or therapy or a placebo.

This package implements multivariate Fay-Herriot models for small area estimation. It uses empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP) estimator. Multivariate models consider the correlation of several target variables and borrow strength from auxiliary variables to improve the effectiveness of a domain sample size. Models which accommodated by this package are univariate model with several target variables (model 0), multivariate model (model 1), autoregressive multivariate model (model 2), and heteroscedastic autoregressive multivariate model (model 3). Functions provide EBLUP estimators and mean squared error (MSE) estimator for each model. These models were developed by Roberto Benavent and Domingo Morales (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2015.07.013>.

Given a set of models for which a measure of model (mis)fit and model complexity is provided, CHull(), developed by Ceulemans and Kiers (2006) <doi:10.1348/000711005X64817>, determines the models that are located on the boundary of the convex hull and selects an optimal model by means of the scree test values.

This package provides functions to prepare time priors for MCMCtree analyses in the PAML software from Yang (2007)<doi:10.1093/molbev/msm088> and plot time-scaled phylogenies from any Bayesian divergence time analysis. Most time-calibrated node prior distributions require user-specified parameters. The package provides functions to refine these parameters, so that the resulting prior distributions accurately reflect confidence in known, usually fossil, time information. These functions also enable users to visualise distributions and write MCMCtree ready input files. Additionally, the package supplies flexible functions to visualise age uncertainty on a plotted tree with using node bars, using branch widths proportional to the age uncertainty, or by plotting the full posterior distributions on nodes. Time-scaled phylogenetic plots can be visualised with absolute and geological timescales . All plotting functions are applicable with output from any Bayesian software, not just MCMCtree'.

Sometimes data for analysis are obtained using more convenient or less expensive means yielding "surrogate" variables for what could be obtained more accurately, albeit with less convenience; or less conveniently or at more expense yielding "reference" variables, thought of as being measured without error. Analysis of the surrogate variables measured with error generally yields biased estimates when the objective is to make inference about the reference variables. Often it is thought that ignoring the measurement error in surrogate variables only biases effects toward the null hypothesis, but this need not be the case. Measurement errors may bias parameter estimates either toward or away from the null hypothesis. If one has a data set with surrogate variable data from the full sample, and also reference variable data from a randomly selected subsample, then one can assess the bias introduced by measurement error in parameter estimation, and use this information to derive improved estimates based upon all available data. Formulaically these estimates based upon the reference variables from the validation subsample combined with the surrogate variables from the whole sample can be interpreted as starting with the estimate from reference variables in the validation subsample, and "augmenting" this with additional information from the surrogate variables. This suggests the term "augmented" estimate. The meerva package calculates these augmented estimates in the regression setting when there is a randomly selected subsample with both surrogate and reference variables. Measurement errors may be differential or non-differential, in any or all predictors (simultaneously) as well as outcome. The augmented estimates derive, in part, from the multivariate correlation between regression model parameter estimates from the reference variables and the surrogate variables, both from the validation subset. Because the validation subsample is chosen at random any biases imposed by measurement error, whether non-differential or differential, are reflected in this correlation and these correlations can be used to derive estimates for the reference variables using data from the whole sample. The main functions in the package are meerva.fit which calculates estimates for a dataset, and meerva.sim.block which simulates multiple datasets as described by the user, and analyzes these datasets, storing the regression coefficient estimates for inspection. The augmented estimates, as well as how measurement error may arise in practice, is described in more detail by Kremers WK (2021) <arXiv:2106.14063> and is an extension of the works by Chen Y-H, Chen H. (2000) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00243>, Chen Y-H. (2002) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00324>, Wang X, Wang Q (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2015.05.017> and Tong J, Huang J, Chubak J, et al.

Multivariable fractional polynomial algorithm simultaneously selects variables and functional forms in both generalized linear models and Cox proportional hazard models. Key references are Royston and Altman (1994) <doi:10.2307/2986270> and Royston and Sauerbrei (2008, ISBN:978-0-470-02842-1). In addition, it can model a sigmoid relationship between variable x and an outcome variable y using the approximate cumulative distribution transformation proposed by Royston (2014) <doi:10.1177/1536867X1401400206>. This feature distinguishes it from a standard fractional polynomial function, which lacks the ability to achieve such modeling.

Mobile-monitoring or "sensors on a mobile platform", is an increasingly popular approach to measure high-resolution pollution data at the street level. Coupled with location data, spatial visualisation of air-quality parameters helps detect localized areas of high air-pollution, also called hotspots. In this approach, portable sensors are mounted on a vehicle and driven on predetermined routes to collect high frequency data (1 Hz). mmaqshiny is for analysing, visualising and spatial mapping of high-resolution air-quality data collected by specific devices installed on a moving platform. 1 Hz data of PM2.5 (mass concentrations of particulate matter with size less than 2.5 microns), Black carbon mass concentrations (BC), ultra-fine particle number concentrations, carbon dioxide along with GPS coordinates and relative humidity (RH) data collected by popular portable instruments (TSI DustTrak-8530, Aethlabs microAeth-AE51, TSI CPC3007, LICOR Li-830, Garmin GPSMAP 64s, Omega USB RH probe respectively). It incorporates device specific cleaning and correction algorithms. RH correction is applied to DustTrak PM2.5 following the Chakrabarti et al., (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.atmosenv.2004.03.007>. Provision is given to add linear regression coefficients for correcting the PM2.5 data (if required). BC data will be cleaned for the vibration generated noise, by adopting the statistical procedure as explained in Apte et al., (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.atmosenv.2011.05.028>, followed by a loading correction as suggested by Ban-Weiss et al., (2009) <doi:10.1021/es8021039>. For the number concentration data, provision is given for dilution correction factor (if a diluter is used with CPC3007; default value is 1). The package joins the raw, cleaned and corrected data from the above said instruments and outputs as a downloadable csv file.
