This package implements various heuristics like Take The Best and unit-weight linear, which do two-alternative choice: which of two objects will have a higher criterion? Also offers functions to assess performance, e.g. percent correct across all row pairs in a data set and finding row pairs where models disagree. New models can be added by implementing a fit and predict function-- see vignette. Take The Best was first described in: Gigerenzer, G. & Goldstein, D. G. (1996) <doi:10.1037/0033-295X.103.4.650>. All of these heuristics were run on many data sets and analyzed in: Gigerenzer, G., Todd, P. M., & the ABC Group (1999). <ISBN:978-0195143812>.

Modifying a load shape to match specific peak and load factor is a fundamental component for various power system planning and operation studies. This package is an efficient tool to modify a reference load shape while matching the desired peak and load factor. The package offers both linear and non-linear method, described in <https://rpubs.com/riazakhan94/load_shape_match_peak_energy>. The user can control the shape of the final load shape by regulating certain parameters. The package provides validation metrics for assessing the derived load shape in terms of preserving time series properties. It also offers powerful graphics, that allows the user to visually assess the derived load shape.

Computing diversity measures on tripartite graphs. This package first implements a parametrized family of such diversity measures which apply on probability distributions. Sometimes called "True Diversity", this family contains famous measures such as the richness, the Shannon entropy, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, and the Berger-Parker index. Second, the package allows to apply these measures on probability distributions resulting from random walks between the levels of tripartite graphs. By defining an initial distribution at a given level of the graph and a path to follow between the three levels, the probability of the walker's position within the final level is then computed, thus providing a particular instance of diversity to measure.

This package provides a toolset for functional enrichment analysis and visualization, gene/protein/SNP identifier conversion and mapping orthologous genes across species via g:Profiler. The main tools are:

1. g:GOSt, functional enrichment analysis and visualization of gene lists;

2. g:Convert, gene/protein/transcript identifier conversion across various namespaces;

3. g:Orth, orthology search across species;

4. g:SNPense, mapping SNP rs identifiers to chromosome positions, genes and variant effects.

This package is an R interface corresponding to the 2019 update of g:Profiler and provides access to versions e94_eg41_p11 and higher.

Web front end for your R functions producing plots or tables. If you have a function or set of related functions, you can make them available over the internet through a web browser. This is the same motivation as the shiny package, but note that the development of shinylight is not in any way linked to that of shiny (beyond the use of the httpuv package). You might prefer shinylight to shiny if you want a lighter weight deployment with easier horizontal scaling, or if you want to develop your front end yourself in JavaScript and HTML just using a lightweight remote procedure call interface to your R code on the server.

This package provides a framework for evaluating drug combination effects in preclinical in vivo studies. SynergyLMM provides functions to analyze longitudinal tumor growth experiments using linear mixed-effects models, perform time-dependent analyses of synergy and antagonism, evaluate model diagnostics and performance, and assess both post-hoc and a priori statistical power. The calculation of drug combination synergy follows the statistical framework provided by Demidenko and Miller (2019, <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0224137>). The implementation and analysis of linear mixed-effect models is based on the methods described by Pinheiro and Bates (2000, <doi:10.1007/b98882>), and GaÅ ecki and Burzykowski (2013, <doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-3900-4>).

Starting from a microbiome dataset (16S or WMS with absolute count values) it is possible to perform several analysis to assess the performances of many differential abundance detection methods. A basic and standardized version of the main differential abundance analysis methods is supplied but the user can also add his method to the benchmark. The analyses focus on 4 main aspects: i) the goodness of fit of each method's distributional assumptions on the observed count data, ii) the ability to control the false discovery rate, iii) the within and between method concordances, iv) the truthfulness of the findings if any apriori knowledge is given. Several graphical functions are available for result visualization.

This package provides methods for inference about relationships between contributors to a DNA mixture and other individuals of known genotype: a basic example would be testing whether a contributor to a mixture is the father of a child of known genotype. This provides most of the functionality of the KinMix package, but with some loss of efficiency and restriction on problem size, as the latter uses RHugin as the Bayes net engine, while this package uses gRain'. The package implements the methods introduced in Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2017.02.001> and Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2021) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12498>.

Simulation of species diversification, fossil records, and phylogenies. While the literature on species birth-death simulators is extensive, including important software like paleotree and APE', we concluded there were interesting gaps to be filled regarding possible diversification scenarios. Here we strove for flexibility over focus, implementing a large array of regimens for users to experiment with and combine. In this way, paleobuddy can be used in complement to other simulators as a flexible jack of all trades, or, in the case of scenarios implemented only here, can allow for robust and easy simulations for novel situations. Environmental data modified from that in RPANDA': Morlon H. et al (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12526>.

This package provides a set of functions to support experimentation in the utility of partially synthetic data sets. All functions compare an observed data set to one or a set of partially synthetic data sets derived from the observed data to (1) check that data sets have identical attributes, (2) calculate overall and specific variable perturbation rates, (3) check for potential logical inconsistencies, and (4) calculate confidence intervals and standard errors of desired variables in multiple imputed data sets. Confidence interval and standard error formulas have options for either synthetic data sets or multiple imputed data sets. For more information on the formulas and methods used, see Reiter & Raghunathan (2007) <doi:10.1198/016214507000000932>.

This package provides functionality for creation and comparison of polynomials that uniquely describe trees as introduced in Liu (2019, <arXiv:1904.03332>). The core method converts rooted unlabeled phylo objects from ape to the tree defining polynomials described with coefficient matrices. Additionally, a conversion for rooted binary trees with binary trait labels is also provided. Once the polynomials of trees are calculated there are functions to calculate distances, distance matrices and plot different distance trees from a target tree. Manipulation and conversion to the tree defining polynomials is implemented in C++ with Rcpp and RcppArmadillo'. Furthermore, parallel programming with RcppThread is used to improve performance converting to polynomials and calculating distances.

Intense parallel workloads can be difficult to monitor. Packages crew.cluster', clustermq', and future.batchtools distribute hundreds of worker processes over multiple computers. If a worker process exhausts its available memory, it may terminate silently, leaving the underlying problem difficult to detect or troubleshoot. Using the autometric package, a worker can proactively monitor itself in a detached background thread. The worker process itself runs normally, and the thread writes to a log every few seconds. If the worker terminates unexpectedly, autometric can read and visualize the log file to reveal potential resource-related reasons for the crash. The autometric package borrows heavily from the methods of packages ps <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.ps> and psutil'.

Copula-based regression models for multivariate censored data, including bivariate right-censored data, bivariate interval-censored data, and right/interval-censored semi-competing risks data. Currently supports Clayton, Gumbel, Frank, Joe, AMH and Copula2 copula models. For marginal models, it supports parametric (Weibull, Loglogistic, Gompertz) and semiparametric (Cox and transformation) models. Includes methods for convenient prediction and plotting. Also provides a bivariate time-to-event simulation function and an information ratio-based goodness-of-fit test for copula. Method details can be found in Sun et.al (2019) Lifetime Data Analysis, Sun et.al (2021) Biostatistics, Sun et.al (2022) Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Sun et.al (2022) Biometrics, and Sun et al. (2023+) JRSSC.

This package provides in built datasets and three functions. These functions are mobility_index, nonStanTest and linkedLives. The mobility_index function facilitates the calculation of lifecourse fluidity, whilst the nonStanTest and the linkedLives functions allow the user to determine the probability that the observed sequence data was due to chance. The linkedLives function acknowledges the fact that some individuals may have identical sequences. The datasets available provide sequence data on marital status(maritalData) and mobility (mydata) for a selected group of individuals from the British Household Panel Study (BHPS). In addition, personal and house ID's for 100 individuals are provided in a third dataset (myHouseID) from the BHPS.

This package provides a dataset containing several color naming conventions established by multiple sources, along with associated color metadata. The package also provides related helper functions for mapping among the different Lego color naming conventions and between Lego colors, hex colors, and R color names, making it easy to convert any color palette to one based on existing Lego colors while keeping as close to the original color palette as possible. The functions use nearest color matching based on Euclidean distance in RGB space. Naming conventions for color mapping include those from BrickLink (<https://www.bricklink.com>), The Lego Group (<https://www.lego.com>), LDraw (<https://www.ldraw.org/>), and Peeron (<http://www.peeron.com/>).

This package implements the framework presented in Cucci, D. A., Voirol, L., Khaghani, M. and Guerrier, S. (2023) <doi:10.1109/TIM.2023.3267360> which allows to analyze the impact of sensor error modeling on the performance of integrated navigation (sensor fusion) based on inertial measurement unit (IMU), Global Positioning System (GPS), and barometer data. The framework relies on Monte Carlo simulations in which a Vanilla Extended Kalman filter is coupled with realistic and user-configurable noise generation mechanisms to recover a reference trajectory from noisy measurements. The evaluation of several statistical metrics of the solution, aggregated over hundreds of simulated realizations, provides reasonable estimates of the expected performances of the system in real-world conditions.

This package provides several direct search optimization algorithms based on the simplex method. The provided algorithms are direct search algorithms, i.e. algorithms which do not use the derivative of the cost function. They are based on the update of a simplex. The following algorithms are available: the fixed shape simplex method of Spendley, Hext and Himsworth (unconstrained optimization with a fixed shape simplex, 1962) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1962.10490033>, the variable shape simplex method of Nelder and Mead (unconstrained optimization with a variable shape simplex made, 1965) <doi:10.1093/comjnl/7.4.308>, and Box's complex method (constrained optimization with a variable shape simplex, 1965) <doi: 10.1093/comjnl/8.1.42>.

An extension to ggplot2 and magick'. It contains three groups of functions: Functions in the first group draw ggplot2 - based plots: geom_shading_bar() draws barplot with shading colors in each bar. geom_rect_cm(), geom_circle_cm() and geom_ellipse_cm() draw rectangles, circles and ellipses with centimeter as their unit. Thus their sizes do not change when the coordinate system or the aspect ratio changes. annotation_transparent_text() draws labels with transparent texts. annotation_shading_polygon() draws irregular polygons with shading colors. Functions in the second group generate coordinates for regular shapes and make linear transformations. Functions in the third group are magick - based functions facilitating image processing.

Analysis of protein expression data can be done through Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and this R package is designed to streamline the analysis. This package enables users to perform PCA and it generates biplot and scree plot for advanced graphical visualization. Optionally, it supports grouping/clustering visualization with PCA loadings and confidence ellipses. With this R package, researchers can quickly explore complex protein datasets, interpret variance contributions, and visualize sample clustering through intuitive biplots. For more details, see Jolliffe (2001) <doi:10.1007/b98835>, Gabriel (1971) <doi:10.1093/biomet/58.3.453>, Zhang et al. (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41467-024-53239-9>, and Anandan et al. (2022) <doi:10.1038/s41598-022-07781-5>.

This package provides tools to apply Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) for cyclostratigraphy purposes. Mainly: a new algorithm, extricate, that performs EEMD in seconds, a linear interpolation algorithm using the greatest rational common divisor of depth or time, different algorithms to compute instantaneous amplitude, frequency and ratios of frequencies, and functions to verify and visualise the outputs. The functions were developed during the CRASH project (Checking the Reproducibility of Astrochronology in the Hauterivian).

This package implements fast, scalable optimization algorithms for fitting topic models ("grade of membership" models) and non-negative matrix factorizations to count data. The methods exploit the special relationship between the multinomial topic model (also, "probabilistic latent semantic indexing") and Poisson non-negative matrix factorization. The package provides tools to compare, annotate and visualize model fits, including functions to efficiently create "structure plots" and identify key features in topics. The fastTopics package is a successor to the CountClust package. For more information, see <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2105.13440> and <doi:10.1186/s13059-023-03067-9>. Please also see the GitHub repository for additional vignettes not included in the package on CRAN.

Implement a promising, and yet little explored protocol for bioacoustical analysis, the eigensound method by MacLeod, Krieger and Jones (2013) <doi:10.4404/hystrix-24.1-6299>. Eigensound is a multidisciplinary method focused on the direct comparison between stereotyped sounds from different species. SoundShape', in turn, provide the tools required for anyone to go from sound waves to Principal Components Analysis, using tools extracted from traditional bioacoustics (i.e. tuneR and seewave packages), geometric morphometrics (i.e. geomorph package) and multivariate analysis (e.g. stats package). For more information, please see Rocha and Romano (2021) and check SoundShape repository on GitHub for news and updates <https://github.com/p-rocha/SoundShape>.
