It is often challenging to strongly control the family-wise type-1 error rate in the group-sequential trials with multiple endpoints (hypotheses). The inflation of type-1 error rate comes from two sources (S1) repeated testing individual hypothesis and (S2) simultaneous testing multiple hypotheses. The MultiGroupSequential package is intended to help researchers to tackle this challenge. The procedures provided include the sequential procedures described in Luo and Quan (2023) <doi:10.1080/19466315.2023.2191989> and the graphical procedure proposed by Maurer and Bretz (2013) <doi:10.1080/19466315.2013.807748>. Luo and Quan (2013) describes three procedures, and the functions to implement these procedures are (1) seqgspgx() implements a sequential graphical procedure based on the group-sequential p-values; (2) seqgsphh() implements a sequential Hochberg/Hommel procedure based on the group-sequential p-values; and (3) seqqvalhh() implements a sequential Hochberg/Hommel procedure based on the q-values. In addition, seqmbgx() implements the sequential graphical procedure described in Maurer and Bretz (2013).

Implement multiverse style analyses (Steegen S., Tuerlinckx F, Gelman A., Vanpaemal, W., 2016) <doi:10.1177/1745691616658637> to show the robustness of statistical inference. Multiverse analysis is a philosophy of statistical reporting where paper authors report the outcomes of many different statistical analyses in order to show how fragile or robust their findings are. The multiverse package (Sarma A., Kale A., Moon M., Taback N., Chevalier F., Hullman J., Kay M., 2021) <doi:10.31219/osf.io/yfbwm> allows users to concisely and flexibly implement multiverse-style analysis, which involve declaring alternate ways of performing an analysis step, in R and R Notebooks.

Spatio-temporal multivariate occupancy models can handle multiple species in occupancy models. This method for fitting such models is described in Hepler and Erhardt (2021) "A spatiotemporal model for multivariate occupancy data".

Unsupervised learning has been widely used in many real-world applications. One of the simplest and most important unsupervised learning models is the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). In this work, we study the multi-task learning problem on GMMs, which aims to leverage potentially similar GMM parameter structures among tasks to obtain improved learning performance compared to single-task learning. We propose a multi-task GMM learning procedure based on the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm that not only can effectively utilize unknown similarity between related tasks but is also robust against a fraction of outlier tasks from arbitrary sources. The proposed procedure is shown to achieve minimax optimal rate of convergence for both parameter estimation error and the excess mis-clustering error, in a wide range of regimes. Moreover, we generalize our approach to tackle the problem of transfer learning for GMMs, where similar theoretical results are derived. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods through simulations and a real data analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work studying multi-task and transfer learning on GMMs with theoretical guarantees. This package implements the algorithms proposed in Tian, Y., Weng, H., & Feng, Y. (2022) <arXiv:2209.15224>.

This package provides a complete toolkit to process the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ) for its three versions (standard, micro, and shift). MCTQ is a quantitative and validated tool to assess chronotypes using peoples sleep behavior, originally presented by Till Roenneberg, Anna Wirz-Justice, and Martha Merrow (2003, <doi:10.1177/0748730402239679>).

Map image classification efficacy (MICE) adjusts the accuracy rate relative to a random classification baseline (Shao et al. (2021)<doi:10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3116526> and Tang et al. (2024)<doi:10.1109/TGRS.2024.3446950>). Only the proportions from the reference labels are considered, as opposed to the proportions from the reference and predictions, as is the case for the Kappa statistic. This package offers means to calculate MICE and adjusted versions of class-level user's accuracy (i.e., precision) and producer's accuracy (i.e., recall) and F1-scores. Class-level metrics are aggregated using macro-averaging. Functions are also made available to estimate confidence intervals using bootstrapping and statistically compare two classification results.

Calculates Model-Averaged Tail Area Wald (MATA-Wald) confidence intervals, and MATA-Wald confidence densities and distributions, which are constructed using single-model frequentist estimators and model weights. See Turek and Fletcher (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2012.03.002> and Fletcher et al (2019) <doi:10.1007/s10651-019-00432-5> for details.

The number of biological databases is growing rapidly, but different databases use different IDs to refer to the same biological entity. The inconsistency in IDs impedes the integration of various types of biological data. To resolve the problem, we developed MantaID', a data-driven, machine-learning based approach that automates identifying IDs on a large scale. The MantaID model's prediction accuracy was proven to be 99%, and it correctly and effectively predicted 100,000 ID entries within two minutes. MantaID supports the discovery and exploitation of ID patterns from large quantities of databases. (e.g., up to 542 biological databases). An easy-to-use freely available open-source software R package, a user-friendly web application, and API were also developed for MantaID to improve applicability. To our knowledge, MantaID is the first tool that enables an automatic, quick, accurate, and comprehensive identification of large quantities of IDs, and can therefore be used as a starting point to facilitate the complex assimilation and aggregation of biological data across diverse databases.

Fitting multivariate covariance generalized linear models (McGLMs) to data. McGLM is a general framework for non-normal multivariate data analysis, designed to handle multivariate response variables, along with a wide range of temporal and spatial correlation structures defined in terms of a covariance link function combined with a matrix linear predictor involving known matrices. The models take non-normality into account in the conventional way by means of a variance function, and the mean structure is modelled by means of a link function and a linear predictor. The models are fitted using an efficient Newton scoring algorithm based on quasi-likelihood and Pearson estimating functions, using only second-moment assumptions. This provides a unified approach to a wide variety of different types of response variables and covariance structures, including multivariate extensions of repeated measures, time series, longitudinal, spatial and spatio-temporal structures. The package offers a user-friendly interface for fitting McGLMs similar to the glm() R function. See Bonat (2018) <doi:10.18637/jss.v084.i04>, for more information and examples.

This package performs a multiscale analysis of a nonparametric regression or nonparametric regressions with time series errors. In case of one regression, with the help of this package it is possible to detect the regions where the trend function is increasing or decreasing. In case of multiple regressions, the test identifies regions where the trend functions are different from each other. See Khismatullina and Vogt (2020) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12347>, Khismatullina and Vogt (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.10841> and Khismatullina and Vogt (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2021.04.010> for more details on theory and applications.

Imputation of incomplete continuous or categorical datasets; Missing values are imputed with a principal component analysis (PCA), a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) model or a multiple factor analysis (MFA) model; Perform multiple imputation with and in PCA or MCA.

Alternative implementation of the beautiful MissForest algorithm used to impute mixed-type data sets by chaining random forests, introduced by Stekhoven, D.J. and Buehlmann, P. (2012) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btr597>. Under the hood, it uses the lightning fast random forest package ranger'. Between the iterative model fitting, we offer the option of using predictive mean matching. This firstly avoids imputation with values not already present in the original data (like a value 0.3334 in 0-1 coded variable). Secondly, predictive mean matching tries to raise the variance in the resulting conditional distributions to a realistic level. This would allow, e.g., to do multiple imputation when repeating the call to missRanger(). Out-of-sample application is supported as well.
