This package provides a framework which should improve reproducibility and transparency in data processing. It provides functionality such as automatic meta data creation and management, rudimentary quality management, data caching, work-flow management and data aggregation. * The title is a wish not a promise. By no means we expect this package to deliver everything what is needed to achieve full reproducibility and transparency, but we believe that it supports efforts in this direction.

Enable operationalized evaluation of disease outcomes in multiple sclerosis. â MSoutcomesâ requires longitudinally recorded clinical data structured in long format. The package is based on the research developed at Clinical Outcomes Research unit (CORe), University of Melbourne and Neuroimmunology Centre, Royal Melbourne Hospital. Kalincik et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/brain/awv258>. Lorscheider et al. (2016) <doi:10.1093/brain/aww173>. Sharmin et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/ene.15406>. Dzau et al. (2023) <doi:10.1136/jnnp-2023-331748>.

Inspired by pattern matching and enum types in Rust and many functional programming languages, this package offers an updated version of the switch function called Match that accepts atomic values, functions, expressions, and enum variants. Conditions and return expressions are separated by -> and multiple conditions can be associated with the same return expression using |'. Match also includes support for fallthrough'. The package also replicates the Result and Option enums from Rust.

Fit finite mixture distribution models to grouped data and conditional data by maximum likelihood using a combination of a Newton-type algorithm and the EM algorithm.

Quantify the causal effect of a binary exposure on a binary outcome with adjustment for multiple biases. The functions can simultaneously adjust for any combination of uncontrolled confounding, exposure/outcome misclassification, and selection bias. The underlying method generalizes the concept of combining inverse probability of selection weighting with predictive value weighting. Simultaneous multi-bias analysis can be used to enhance the validity and transparency of real-world evidence obtained from observational, longitudinal studies. Based on the work from Paul Brendel, Aracelis Torres, and Onyebuchi Arah (2023) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyad001>.

Defines the classes used to explore, cluster and visualize distance matrices, especially those arising from binary data. See Abrams and colleagues, 2021, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab037>.

The iterative procedure estimates structural changes in the success probability of Bernoulli variables. It estimates the number and location of the breakpoints as well as the success probability of the different sequences between the breakpoints. In addition, it provides a graphical illustration of the result.

Measures niche breadth and overlap of microbial taxa from large matrices. Niche breadth measurements include Levins niche breadth (Bn) index, Hurlbert's Bn and Feinsinger's proportional similarity (PS) index. (Feinsinger, P., Spears, E.E., Poole, R.W. (1981) <doi:10.2307/1936664>). Niche overlap measurements include Levin's Overlap (Ludwig, J.A. and Reynolds, J.F. (1988, ISBN:0471832359)) and a Jaccard similarity index of Feinsinger's PS values between taxa pairs, as Proportional Overlap.

Summarize multiple biomarker responses of aquatic organisms to contaminants using Cliffâ s delta, as described in Pham & Sokolova (2023) <doi:10.1002/ieam.4676>.

An API wrapper for the Monash University Probabilistic Footy Tipping Competition <https://probabilistic-footy.monash.edu/~footy/index.shtml>. Allows users to submit tips directly to the competition from R.

The Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) score is calculated (Matthews BW (1975) <DOI:10.1016/0005-2795(75)90109-9>).

Automatically segments a 3D array of voxels into mutually exclusive morphological elements. This package extends existing work for segmenting 2D binary raster data. A paper documenting this approach has been accepted for publication in the journal Landscape Ecology. Detailed references will be updated here once those are known.

Simulation, analysis and sampling of spatial biodiversity data (May, Gerstner, McGlinn, Xiao & Chase 2017) <doi:10.1111/2041-210x.12986>. In the simulation tools user define the numbers of species and individuals, the species abundance distribution and species aggregation. Functions for analysis include species rarefaction and accumulation curves, species-area relationships and the distance decay of similarity.

Computes densities, probabilities, and random deviates of the Matrix Normal (Pocuca et al. (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1910.02859>). Also includes simple but useful matrix functions. See the vignette for more information.

This package provides tools for estimating multivariate probit models, calculating conditional and unconditional expectations, and calculating marginal effects on conditional and unconditional expectations.

This package provides an interface with the Meteo France Synop data API (see <https://donneespubliques.meteofrance.fr/?fond=produit&id_produit=90&id_rubrique=32> for more information). The Meteo France Synop data are made of meteorological data recorded every three hours on 62 French meteorological stations.

This package provides tools for analyzing metabolic pathway completeness, abundance, and transcripts using KEGG Orthology (KO) data from (meta)genomic and (meta)transcriptomic studies. Supports both completeness (presence/absence) and abundance-weighted analyses. Includes built-in KEGG reference datasets. For more details see Li et al. (2023) <doi:10.1038/s41467-023-42193-7>.

This package provides a collection of function to solve multiple criteria optimization problems using genetic algorithms (NSGA-II). Also included is a collection of test functions.

This package provides a general framework for clinical trial simulations based on the Clinical Scenario Evaluation (CSE) approach. The package supports a broad class of data models (including clinical trials with continuous, binary, survival-type and count-type endpoints as well as multivariate outcomes that are based on combinations of different endpoints), analysis strategies and commonly used evaluation criteria.

This package provides a novel framework to estimate mixed models via gradient boosting. The implemented functions are based on the mboost and lme4 packages, and the family range is therefore determined by lme4'. A correction mechanism for cluster-constant covariates is implemented, as well as estimation of the covariance of random effects. These methods are described in the accompanying publication; see <doi:10.1007/s11222-025-10612-y> for details.

Procedures for simulating biomes by equilibrium vegetation models, with a special focus on paleoenvironmental applications. Three widely used equilibrium biome models are currently implemented in the package: the Holdridge Life Zone (HLZ) system (Holdridge 1947, <doi:10.1126/science.105.2727.367>), the Köppen-Geiger classification (KGC) system (Köppen 1936, <https://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/pdf/Koppen_1936.pdf>) and the BIOME model (Prentice et al. 1992, <doi:10.2307/2845499>). Three climatic forest-steppe models are also implemented. An approach for estimating monthly time series of relative sunshine duration from temperature and precipitation data (Yin 1999, <doi:10.1007/s007040050111>) is also adapted, allowing process-based biome models to be combined with high-resolution paleoclimate simulation datasets (e.g., CHELSA-TraCE21k v1.0 dataset: <https://chelsa-climate.org/chelsa-trace21k/>).

Bayesian variable selection methods for data with multivariate responses and multiple covariates. The package contains implementations of multivariate Bayesian variable selection methods for continuous data (Lee et al., Biometrics, 2017 <doi:10.1111/biom.12557>) and zero-inflated count data (Lee et al., Biostatistics, 2020 <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy067>).

This package provides tools to quantify ecological memory in long time-series with Random Forest models (Breiman 2001 <doi:10.1023/A:1010933404324>) fitted with the ranger library (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>). Particularly oriented to palaeoecological datasets and simulated pollen curves produced by the virtualPollen package, but also applicable to other long time-series involving a set of environmental drivers and a biotic response.

Fit Bayesian stochastic block models (SBMs) and multi-level stochastic block models (MLSBMs) using efficient Gibbs sampling implemented in Rcpp'. The models assume symmetric, non-reflexive graphs (no self-loops) with unweighted, binary edges. Data are input as a symmetric binary adjacency matrix (SBMs), or list of such matrices (MLSBMs).
