Data sets on various litter types like beach litter, riverain litter, floating litter, and seafloor litter are rapidly growing. This package offers a simple user interface to analyse these litter data in a consistent and reproducible way. It also provides functions to facilitate several kinds of litter analysis, e.g., trend analysis, power analysis, and baseline analysis. Under the hood, these functions are also used by the user interface. See Schulz et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.envpol.2019.02.030> for details. MS-Windows users are advised to run litteR in RStudio'. See our vignette: Installation manual for RStudio and litteR'.

Suite of R functions for the estimation of the local false discovery rate (LFDR) using Type II maximum likelihood estimation (MLE).

Implementation of the three-step approach of (latent transition) cognitive diagnosis model (CDM) with covariates. This approach can be used for single time-point situations (cross-sectional data) and multiple time-point situations (longitudinal data) to investigate how the covariates are associated with attribute mastery. For multiple time-point situations, the three-step approach of latent transition CDM with covariates allows researchers to assess changes in attribute mastery status and to evaluate the covariate effects on both the initial states and transition probabilities over time using latent logistic regression. Because stepwise approaches often yield biased estimates, correction for classification error probabilities (CEPs) is considered in this approach. The three-step approach for latent transition CDM with covariates involves the following steps: (1) fitting a CDM to the response data without covariates at each time point separately, (2) assigning examinees to latent states at each time point and computing the associated CEPs, and (3) estimating the latent transition CDM with the known CEPs and computing the regression coefficients. The method was proposed in Liang et al. (2023) <doi:10.3102/10769986231163320> and demonstrated using mental health data in Liang et al. (in press; annotated R code and data utilized in this example are available in Mendeley data) <doi:10.17632/kpjp3gnwbt.1>.

An updated implementation of R package ranger by Wright et al, (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01> for training and predicting from random forests, particularly suited to high-dimensional data, and for embedding in Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations (MICE) by van Buuren (2007) <doi:10.1177/0962280206074463>. Ensembles of classification and regression trees are currently supported. Sparse data of class dgCMatrix (R package Matrix') can be directly analyzed. Conventional bagged predictions are available alongside an efficient prediction for MICE via the algorithm proposed by Doove et al (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.10.025>. Trained forests can be written to and read from storage. Survival and probability forests are not supported in the update, nor is data of class gwaa.data (R package GenABEL'); use the original ranger package for these analyses.

It relies on the Monolix software (version 2024R1; see (<https://monolixsuite.slp-software.com/monolix/2024R1/>), which must be installed beforehand.

This package provides functions and tools for using open GIS and remote sensing command-line interfaces in a reproducible environment.

In addition to modeling the expectation (location) of an outcome, mixed effects location scale models (MELSMs) include submodels on the variance components (scales) directly. This allows models on the within-group variance with mixed effects, and between-group variances with fixed effects. The MELSM can be used to model volatility, intraindividual variance, uncertainty, measurement error variance, and more. Multivariate MELSMs (MMELSMs) extend the model to include multiple correlated outcomes, and therefore multiple locations and scales. The latent multivariate MELSM (LMMELSM) further includes multiple correlated latent variables as outcomes. This package implements two-level mixed effects location scale models on multiple observed or latent outcomes, and between-group variance modeling.
