Has two functions to help with calculating feature selection stability. Lump is a function that groups subset vectors into a dataframe, and adds NA to shorter vectors so they all have the same length. ASM is a function that takes a dataframe of subset vectors and the original vector of features as inputs, and calculates the Stability of the feature selection. The calculation for asm uses the Adjusted Stability Measure proposed in: Lustgarten', Gopalakrishnan', & Visweswaran (2009)<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2815476/>.

Spatial versions of Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDDs) are becoming increasingly popular as tools for causal inference. However, conducting state-of-the-art analyses often involves tedious and time-consuming steps. This package offers comprehensive functionalities for executing all required spatial and econometric tasks in a streamlined manner. Moreover, it equips researchers with tools for performing essential placebo and balancing checks comprehensively. The fact that researchers do not have to rely on APIs of external GIS software ensures replicability and raises the standard for spatial RDDs.

scMultiSim simulates paired single cell RNA-seq, single cell ATAC-seq and RNA velocity data, while incorporating mechanisms of gene regulatory networks, chromatin accessibility and cell-cell interactions. It allows users to tune various parameters controlling the amount of each biological factor, variation of gene-expression levels, the influence of chromatin accessibility on RNA sequence data, and so on. It can be used to benchmark various computational methods for single cell multi-omics data, and to assist in experimental design of wet-lab experiments.

The arrangement of hypotheses in a hierarchical structure appears in many research fields and often indicates different resolutions at which data can be viewed. This raises the question of which resolution level the signal should best be interpreted on. treeclimbR provides a flexible method to select optimal resolution levels (potentially different levels in different parts of the tree), rather than cutting the tree at an arbitrary level. treeclimbR uses a tuning parameter to generate candidate resolutions and from these selects the optimal one.

BayesPrism includes deconvolution and embedding learning modules. The deconvolution module models a prior from cell type-specific expression profiles from scRNA-seq to jointly estimate the posterior distribution of cell type composition and cell type-specific gene expression from bulk RNA-seq expression of tumor samples. The embedding learning module uses Expectation-maximization (EM) to approximate the tumor expression using a linear combination of malignant gene programs while conditional on the inferred expression and fraction of non-malignant cells estimated by the deconvolution module.

This package provides a pipeline with high specificity and sensitivity in extracting proteins from the RefSeq database (National Center for Biotechnology Information). Manual identification of gene families is highly time-consuming and laborious, requiring an iterative process of manual and computational analysis to identify members of a given family. The pipelines implements an automatic approach for the identification of gene families based on the conserved domains that specifically define that family. See Die et al. (2018) <doi:10.1101/436659> for more information and examples.

This package performs Modal Clustering (MAC) including Hierarchical Modal Clustering (HMAC) along with their parallel implementation (PHMAC) over several processors. These model-based non-parametric clustering techniques can extract clusters in very high dimensions with arbitrary density shapes. By default clustering is performed over several resolutions and the results are summarised as a hierarchical tree. Associated plot functions are also provided. There is a package vignette that provides many examples. This version adheres to CRAN policy of not spanning more than two child processes by default.

Determine the chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations of different phytoplankton groups based on their pigment biomarkers. The method uses non-negative matrix factorisation and simulated annealing to minimise error between the observed and estimated values of pigment concentrations (Hayward et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/lom3.10541>). The approach is similar to the widely used CHEMTAX program (Mackey et al. 1996) <doi:10.3354/meps144265>, but is more straightforward, accurate, and not reliant on initial guesses for the pigment to Chl a ratios for phytoplankton groups.

Implementation of the boosting procedure with the simulation and extrapolation approach to address variable selection and estimation for high-dimensional data subject to measurement error in predictors. It can be used to address generalized linear models (GLM) in Chen (2023) <doi: 10.1007/s11222-023-10209-3> and the accelerated failure time (AFT) model in Chen and Qiu (2023) <doi: 10.1111/biom.13898>. Some relevant references include Chen and Yi (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13331> and Hastie, Tibshirani, and Friedman (2008, ISBN:978-0387848570).

This package provides a tool to sample data with the desired properties.Samples can be drawn by purposive sampling with determining distributional conditions, such as deviation from normality (skewness and kurtosis), and sample size in quantitative research studies. For purposive sampling, a researcher has something in mind and participants that fit the purpose of the study are included (Etikan,Musa, & Alkassim, 2015) <doi:10.11648/j.ajtas.20160501.11>.Purposive sampling can be useful for answering many research questions (Klar & Leeper, 2019) <doi:10.1002/9781119083771.ch21>.

Likelihood-based approaches to estimate linear regression parameters and treatment effects in the presence of endogeneity. Specifically, this package includes James Heckman's classical simultaneous equation models-the sample selection model for outcome selection bias and hybrid model with structural shift for endogenous treatment. For more information, see the seminal paper of Heckman (1978) <DOI:10.3386/w0177> in which the details of these models are provided. This package accommodates repeated measures on subjects with a working independence approach. The hybrid model further accommodates treatment effect modification.

This package implements a method of iteratively collapsing the rows of a contingency table, two at a time, by selecting the pair of categories whose combination yields a new table with the smallest loss of chi-squared, as described by Greenacre, M.J. (1988) <doi:10.1007/BF01901670>. The result is compatible with the class of object returned by the stats package's hclust() function and can be used similarly (plotted as a dendrogram, cut, etc.). Additional functions are provided for automatic cutting and diagnostic plotting.
