This package provides functions to perform all steps of genome-wide association meta-analysis for studying Genotype x Environment interactions, from collecting the data to the manhattan plot. The procedure accounts for the potential correlation between studies. In addition to the Fixed and Random models, one can investigate the relationship between QTL effects and some qualitative or quantitative covariate via the test of contrast and the meta-regression, respectively. The methodology is available from: (De Walsche, A., et al. (2025) \doi10.1371/journal.pgen.1011553).

This package provides a test of multivariate normality of an unknown sample that does not require estimation of the nuisance parameters, the mean and covariance matrix. Rather, a sequence of transformations removes these nuisance parameters and results in a set of sample matrices that are positive definite. These matrices are uniformly distributed on the space of positive definite matrices in the unit hyper-rectangle if and only if the original data is multivariate normal (Fairweather, 1973, Doctoral dissertation, University of Washington). The package performs a goodness of fit test of this hypothesis. In addition to the test, functions in the package give visualizations of the support region of positive definite matrices for bivariate samples.

It computes arbitrary products moments (mean vector and variance-covariance matrix), for some double truncated (and folded) multivariate distributions. These distributions belong to the family of selection elliptical distributions, which includes well known skewed distributions as the unified skew-t distribution (SUT) and its particular cases as the extended skew-t (EST), skew-t (ST) and the symmetric student-t (T) distribution. Analogous normal cases unified skew-normal (SUN), extended skew-normal (ESN), skew-normal (SN), and symmetric normal (N) are also included. Density, probabilities and random deviates are also offered for these members.

This package provides a glycolipid mass spectrometry technology has the potential to accurately identify individual bacterial species from polymicrobial samples. To develop bacterial identification algorithms (e.g. machine learning) using this glycolipid technology, it is necessary to generate a large number of various in-silico polymicrobial mass spectra that are similar to real mass spectra. MGMS2 (Membrane Glycolipid Mass Spectrum Simulator) generates such in-silico mass spectra, considering errors in m/z (mass-to-charge ratio) and variances of intensity values, occasions of missing signature ions, and noise peaks. It estimates summary statistics of monomicrobial mass spectra for each strain or species and simulates polymicrobial glycolipid mass spectra using the summary statistics of monomicrobial mass spectra.

In breeding experiments, mating environmental (ME) designs are very popular as mating designs are directly implemented in the field environment using block or row-column designs. Here, three functions are given related to three new methods which will generate mating diallel cross designs (Hinkelmann and Kempthorne, 1963<doi:10.2307/2333899>) or mating environmental (ME) designs along with design parameters, C matrix, eigenvalues (EVs), degree of fractionations (DF) and canonical efficiency factor (CEF). Another one function is added to check the properties of a given ME diallel cross design.

Implementation of marginalized models for zero-inflated count data. The package provides tools to estimate marginalized count regression models for direct inference on the effect of covariates on the marginal mean of the outcome. The methods include the marginalized zero-inflated Poisson (MZIP) model described in Long et al. (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6293> and the marginalized zero- and N-inflated binomial (MZNIB) model, which extends marginalized modeling to fractional count outcomes with boundary inflation at zero and the upper limit.

This package provides functions to calculate the minimum and maximum possible values of Cronbach's alpha when item-level missing data are present. Cronbach's alpha (Cronbach, 1951 <doi:10.1007/BF02310555>) is one of the most widely used measures of internal consistency in the social, behavioral, and medical sciences (Bland & Altman, 1997 <doi:10.1136/bmj.314.7080.572>; Tavakol & Dennick, 2011 <doi:10.5116/ijme.4dfb.8dfd>). However, conventional implementations assume complete data, and listwise deletion is often applied when missingness occurs, which can lead to biased or overly optimistic reliability estimates (Enders, 2003 <doi:10.1037/1082-989X.8.3.322>). This package implements computational strategies including enumeration, Monte Carlo sampling, and optimization algorithms (e.g., Genetic Algorithm, Differential Evolution, Sequential Least Squares Programming) to obtain sharp lower and upper bounds of Cronbach's alpha under arbitrary missing data patterns. The approach is motivated by Manski's partial identification framework and pessimistic bounding ideas from optimization literature.

This package contains functions for mapping odds ratios, hazard ratios, or other effect estimates using individual-level data such as case-control study data, using generalized additive models (GAMs) or Cox models for smoothing with a two-dimensional predictor (e.g., geolocation or exposure to chemical mixtures) while adjusting linearly for confounding variables, using methods described by Kelsall and Diggle (1998), Webster at al. (2006), and Bai et al. (2020). Includes convenient functions for mapping point estimates and confidence intervals, efficient control sampling, and permutation tests for the null hypothesis that the two-dimensional predictor is not associated with the outcome variable (adjusting for confounders).

This package provides a method for the multiresolution analysis of spatial fields and images to capture scale-dependent features. mrbsizeR is based on scale space smoothing and uses differences of smooths at neighbouring scales for finding features on different scales. To infer which of the captured features are credible, Bayesian analysis is used. The scale space multiresolution analysis has three steps: (1) Bayesian signal reconstruction. (2) Using differences of smooths, scale-dependent features of the reconstructed signal can be found. (3) Posterior credibility analysis of the differences of smooths created. The method has first been proposed by Holmstrom, Pasanen, Furrer, Sain (2011) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2011.04.011> and extended in Flury, Gerber, Schmid and Furrer (2021) <DOI:10.1016/j.spasta.2020.100483>.
