This package provides a set of functions to locate some programs available on the user machine. The package provides functions to locate Node.js', npm', LibreOffice', Microsoft Word', Microsoft PowerPoint', Microsoft Excel', Python', pip', Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome'. User can test the availability of a program with eventually a version and call it with function system2() or system(). This allows the use of a single function to retrieve the path to a program regardless of the operating system and its configuration.

Cellular cooperation compromises the established method of calculating clonogenic activity from limiting dilution assay (LDA) data. This tool provides functions that enable robust analysis in presence or absence of cellular cooperation. The implemented method incorporates the same cooperativity module to model the non-linearity associated with cellular cooperation as known from the colony formation assay (Brix et al. (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41596-021-00615-0>: "Analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro." Nature protocols).

Simplifies the whole process of creating stacked tilted maps, that are often used in scientific publications to show different environmental layers for a geographical region. Tilting maps and layering them allows to easily draw visual correlations between these environmental layers.

This package implements the LS-PLS (least squares - partial least squares) method described in for instance Jørgensen, K., Segtnan, V. H., Thyholt, K., Næs, T.

Functionalities for calculating the local score and calculating statistical relevance (p-value) to find a local Score in a sequence of given distribution (S. Mercier and J.-J. Daudin (2001) <https://hal.science/hal-00714174/>) ; S. Karlin and S. Altschul (1990) <https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC53667/> ; S. Mercier, D. Cellier and F. Charlot (2003) <https://hal.science/hal-00937529v1/> ; A. Lagnoux, S. Mercier and P. Valois (2017) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw699> ).

Given a postulated model and a set of data, the comparison density is estimated and the deviance test is implemented in order to assess if the data distribution deviates significantly from the postulated model. Finally, the results are summarized in a CD-plot as described in Algeri S. (2019) <arXiv:1906.06615>.

Supervised learning techniques designed for the situation when the dimensionality exceeds the sample size have a tendency to overfit as the dimensionality of the data increases. To remedy this High dimensionality; low sample size (HDLSS) situation, we attempt to learn a lower-dimensional representation of the data before learning a classifier. That is, we project the data to a situation where the dimensionality is more manageable, and then are able to better apply standard classification or clustering techniques since we will have fewer dimensions to overfit. A number of previous works have focused on how to strategically reduce dimensionality in the unsupervised case, yet in the supervised HDLSS regime, few works have attempted to devise dimensionality reduction techniques that leverage the labels associated with the data. In this package and the associated manuscript Vogelstein et al. (2017) <arXiv:1709.01233>, we provide several methods for feature extraction, some utilizing labels and some not, along with easily extensible utilities to simplify cross-validative efforts to identify the best feature extraction method. Additionally, we include a series of adaptable benchmark simulations to serve as a standard for future investigative efforts into supervised HDLSS. Finally, we produce a comprehensive comparison of the included algorithms across a range of benchmark simulations and real data applications.

Implementation of the methods described in Holzmann, Klar (2024) <doi: 10.1111/sjos.12733>. Lancaster correlation is a correlation coefficient which equals the absolute value of the Pearson correlation for the bivariate normal distribution, and is equal to or slightly less than the maximum correlation coefficient for a variety of bivariate distributions. Rank and moment-based estimators and corresponding confidence intervals are implemented, as well as independence tests based on these statistics.

Helper functions to implement univariate and bivariate latent change score models in R using the lavaan package. For details about Latent Change Score Modeling (LCSM) see McArdle (2009) <doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.60.110707.163612> and Grimm, An, McArdle, Zonderman and Resnick (2012) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2012.659627>. The package automatically generates lavaan syntax for different model specifications and varying timepoints. The lavaan syntax generated by this package can be returned and further specifications can be added manually. Longitudinal plots as well as simplified path diagrams can be created to visualise data and model specifications. Estimated model parameters and fit statistics can be extracted as data frames. Data for different univariate and bivariate LCSM can be simulated by specifying estimates for model parameters to explore their effects. This package combines the strengths of other R packages like lavaan', broom', and semPlot by generating lavaan syntax that helps these packages work together.

Fast implementations to compute the genetic covariance matrix, the Jaccard similarity matrix, the s-matrix (the weighted Jaccard similarity matrix), and the (classic or robust) genomic relationship matrix of a (dense or sparse) input matrix (see Hahn, Lutz, Hecker, Prokopenko, Cho, Silverman, Weiss, and Lange (2020) <doi:10.1002/gepi.22356>). Full support for sparse matrices from the R-package Matrix'. Additionally, an implementation of the power method (von Mises iteration) to compute the largest eigenvector of a matrix is included, a function to perform an automated full run of global and local correlations in population stratification data, a function to compute sliding windows, and a function to invert minor alleles and to select those variants/loci exceeding a minimal cutoff value. New functionality in locStra allows one to extract the k leading eigenvectors of the genetic covariance matrix, Jaccard similarity matrix, s-matrix, and genomic relationship matrix via fast PCA without actually computing the similarity matrices. The fast PCA to compute the k leading eigenvectors can now also be run directly from bed'+'bim'+'fam files.
