For the purposes of teaching, it is often desirable to show examples of working with messy data and how to clean it. This R package creates messy data from clean, tidy data frames so that students have a clean example to work towards.

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.

This package provides a way to estimate and test marginal mediation effects for zero-inflated compositional mediators.

This is a implementation of design methods for multi-state reliability demonstration tests (MSRDT) with failure count data, which is associated with the work from the published paper "Multi-state Reliability Demonstration Tests" by Suiyao Chen et al. (2017) <doi:10.1080/08982112.2017.1314493>. It implements two types of MSRDT, multiple periods (MP) and multiple failure modes (MFM). For MP, two different scenarios with criteria on cumulative periods (Cum) or separate periods (Sep) are implemented respectively. It also provides the implementation of conventional design method, namely binomial tests for failure count data.

This package provides a model designed to be a reliable testbed where various gene drive interventions for mosquito-borne diseases control. It is being developed to accommodate the use of various mosquito-specific gene drive systems within a population dynamics framework that allows migration of individuals between patches in landscape. Previous work developing the population dynamics can be found in Deredec et al. (2001) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1110717108> and Hancock & Godfray (2007) <doi:10.1186/1475-2875-6-98>, and extensions to accommodate CRISPR homing dynamics in Marshall et al. (2017) <doi:10.1038/s41598-017-02744-7>.

This is a non-parametric method for joint adaptive mean-variance regularization and variance stabilization of high-dimensional data. It is suited for handling difficult problems posed by high-dimensional multivariate datasets (p >> n paradigm). Among those are that the variance is often a function of the mean, variable-specific estimators of variances are not reliable, and tests statistics have low powers due to a lack of degrees of freedom. Key features include: (i) Normalization and/or variance stabilization of the data, (ii) Computation of mean-variance-regularized t-statistics (F-statistics to follow), (iii) Generation of diverse diagnostic plots, (iv) Computationally efficient implementation using C/C++ interfacing and an option for parallel computing to enjoy a faster and easier experience in the R environment.

The minorization-maximization (MM) algorithm is a powerful tool for maximizing nonconcave target function. However, for most existing MM algorithms, the surrogate function in the minorization step is constructed in a case-specific manner and requires manual programming. To address this limitation, we develop the R package MMAD, which systematically integrates the assembly--decomposition technology in the MM framework. This new package provides a comprehensive computational toolkit for one-stop inference of complex target functions, including function construction, evaluation, minorization and optimization via MM algorithm. By representing the target function through a hierarchical composition of assembly functions, we design a hierarchical algorithmic structure that supports both bottom-up operations (construction, evaluation) and top-down operation (minorization).

Integrates fairness auditing and bias mitigation methods for the mlr3 ecosystem. This includes fairness metrics, reporting tools, visualizations and bias mitigation techniques such as "Reweighing" described in Kamiran, Calders (2012) <doi:10.1007/s10115-011-0463-8> and "Equalized Odds" described in Hardt et al. (2016) <https://papers.nips.cc/paper/2016/file/9d2682367c3935defcb1f9e247a97c0d-Paper.pdf>. Integration with mlr3 allows for auditing of ML models as well as convenient joint tuning of machine learning algorithms and debiasing methods.

The temporal relationship between motor neurons can offer explanations for neural strategies. We combined functions to reduce neuron action potential discharge data and analyze it for short-term, time-domain synchronization. Even more so, motoRneuron combines most available methods for the determining cross correlation histogram peaks and most available indices for calculating synchronization into simple functions. See Nordstrom, Fuglevand, and Enoka (1992) <doi:10.1113/jphysiol.1992.sp019244> for a more thorough introduction.

Uses multiple AUCs to select a combination of predictors when the outcome has multiple (ordered) levels and the focus is discriminating one particular level from the others. This method is most naturally applied to settings where the outcome has three levels. (Meisner, A, Parikh, CR, and Kerr, KF (2017) <http://biostats.bepress.com/uwbiostat/paper423/>.).

Estimate Multidimensional Poverty Indices disaggregated by population subgroups based on the Alkire and Foster method (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jpubeco.2010.11.006>. This includes the calculation of standard errors and confidence intervals. Other partial indices such as incidence, intensity and indicator-specific measures as well as intertemporal changes analysis can also be estimated. The standard errors and confidence intervals are calculated considering the complex survey design.
