Returns the density, centrality, centralization, and subgroup information for each group. Based on the analytical framework laid out in Chai et al. (2019) <doi:10.1187/cbe.18-11-0222>.

Four fertility models are fitted using non-linear least squares. These are the Hadwiger, the Gamma, the Model1 and Model2, following the terminology of the following paper: Peristera P. and Kostaki A. (2007). "Modeling fertility in modern populations". Demographic Research, 16(6): 141--194. <doi:10.4054/DemRes.2007.16.6>. Model based averaging is also supported.

Electricity is not made equal and it vary in its carbon footprint (or carbon intensity) depending on its source. This package enables to access and query data provided by the Carbon Intensity API (<https://carbonintensity.org.uk/>). National Gridâ s Carbon Intensity API provides an indicative trend of regional carbon intensity of the electricity system in Great Britain.

Here we provide an implementation of the linear and logistic regression-based Reliable Change Index (RCI), to be used with lm and binomial glm model objects, respectively, following Moral et al. <https://psyarxiv.com/gq7az/>. The RCI function returns a score assumed to be approximately normally distributed, which is helpful to detect patients that may present cognitive decline.

Understanding the dynamics of potentially heterogeneous variables is important in statistical applications. This package provides tools for estimating the degree of heterogeneity across cross-sectional units in the panel data analysis. The methods are developed by Okui and Yanagi (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2019.04.036> and Okui and Yanagi (2020) <doi:10.1093/ectj/utz019>.

Makes the time series prediction easier by automatizing this process using four main functions: prep(), modl(), pred() and postp(). Features different preprocessing methods to homogenize variance and to remove trend and seasonality. Also has the potential to bring together different predictive models to make comparatives. Features ARIMA and Data Mining Regression models (using caret).

Routines in qtl2 to study allele patterns in quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping over a chromosome. Useful in crosses with more than two alleles to identify how sets of alleles, genetically different strands at the same locus, have different response levels. Plots show profiles over a chromosome. Can handle multiple traits together. See <https://github.com/byandell/qtl2pattern>.

Additionally, see the official Lottie GitHub repository at <https://github.com/airbnb/lottie>.

This package provides basic functions that support an implementation of (discrete) choice experiments (CEs). CEs is a question-based survey method measuring people's preferences for goods/services and their characteristics. Refer to Louviere et al. (2000) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511753831> for details on CEs, and Aizaki (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v050.c02> for the package.

Shinohara (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.nicl.2014.08.008> introduced WhiteStripe', an intensity-based normalization of T1 and T2 images, where normal appearing white matter performs well, but requires segmentation. This method performs white matter mean and standard deviation estimates on data that has been rigidly-registered to the MNI template and uses histogram-based methods.

Generate basic charts either by custom applications, or from a small script launched from the system console, or within the R console. Two ASCII text files are necessary: (1) The graph parameters file, which name is passed to the function rplotengine()'. The user can specify the titles, choose the type of the graph, graph output formats (e.g. png, eps), proportion of the X-axis and Y-axis, position of the legend, whether to show or not a grid at the background, etc. (2) The data to be plotted, which name is specified as a parameter ('data_filename') in the previous file. This data file has a tabulated format, with a single character (e.g. tab) between each column. Optionally, the file could include data columns for showing confidence intervals.

This package contains a number of comparative "phylogenetic" methods, mostly focusing on analysing diversification and character evolution. Contains implementations of "BiSSE" (Binary State Speciation and Extinction) and its unresolved tree extensions, "MuSSE" (Multiple State Speciation and Extinction), "QuaSSE", "GeoSSE", and "BiSSE-ness" Other included methods include Markov models of discrete and continuous trait evolution and constant rate speciation and extinction.

The clusterCrit package provides an implementation of the following indices: Czekanowski-Dice, Folkes-Mallows, Hubert Γ, Jaccard, McNemar, Kulczynski, Phi, Rand, Rogers-Tanimoto, Russel-Rao or Sokal-Sneath. ClusterCrit defines several functions which compute internal quality indices or external comparison indices. The partitions are specified as an integer vector giving the index of the cluster each observation belongs to.

Allows for painless use of the Metopio health atlas APIs <https://metopio.com/health-atlas> to explore and import data. Metopio health atlases store open public health data. See what topics (or indicators) are available among specific populations, periods, and geographic layers. Download relevant data along with geographic boundaries or point datasets. Spatial datasets are returned as sf objects.

Summarizes characteristics of linear mixed effects models without data or a fitted model by converting code for fitting lmer() from lme4 and lme() from nlme into tables, equations, and visuals. Outputs can be used to learn how to fit linear mixed effects models in R and to communicate about these models in presentations, manuscripts, and analysis plans.

Automatically estimate 11 effect size measures from a well-formatted dataset. Various other functions can help, for example, removing dependency between several effect sizes, or identifying differences between two datasets. This package is mainly designed to assist in conducting a systematic review with a meta-analysis but can be useful to any researcher interested in estimating an effect size.

Computes odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals from a generalized linear model object. It also computes model significance with the chi-squared statistic and p-value and it computes model fit using a contingency table to determine the percent of observations for which the model correctly predicts the value of the outcome. Calculates model sensitivity and specificity.

Standardized survey outcome rate functions, including the response rate, contact rate, cooperation rate, and refusal rate. These outcome rates allow survey researchers to measure the quality of survey data using definitions published by the American Association of Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). For details on these standards, see AAPOR (2016) <https://www.aapor.org/Standards-Ethics/Standard-Definitions-(1).aspx>.

Simulate pedigree, genetic merits and phenotypes with random/non-random matings followed by random/non-random selection with different intensities and patterns in males and females. Genotypes can be simulated for a given pedigree, or an appended pedigree to an existing pedigree with genotypes. Mrode, R. A. (2005) <ISBN:9780851989969, 0851989969>; Nilforooshan, M.A. (2022) <doi:10.37496/rbz5120210131>.

This package provides a set of functions to efficiently recognize and clean the continuous dorsal pattern of a female brown anole lizard (Anolis sagrei) traced from ImageJ', an open platform for scientific image analysis (see <https://imagej.net> for more information), and extract common features such as the pattern sinuosity indices, coefficient of variation, and max-min width.

Nonparametric density estimation for (hyper)spherical data by means of a parametrically guided kernel estimator (Alonso-Pena et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12737>. The package also allows the data-driven selection of the smoothing parameter and the representation of the estimated density for circular and spherical data. Estimators of the density without guide can also be obtained.

This is a compilation of my preferred themes and related theme elements for ggplot2'. I believe these themes and theme elements are aesthetically pleasing, both for pedagogical instruction and for the presentation of applied statistical research to a wide audience. These themes imply routine use of easily obtained/free fonts, simple forms of which are included in this package.
