This package provides a step-based pipeline for reproducible survey data processing, building on the survey package for complex sampling designs. Supports rotating panels with bootstrap replicate weights, and provides a recipe system for sharing and reproducing data transformation workflows across survey editions.

Aggregates a set of trees with the same leaves to create a consensus tree. The trees are typically obtained via hierarchical clustering, hence the hclust format is used to encode both the aggregated trees and the final consensus tree. The method is exact and proven to be O(nqlog(n)), n being the individuals and q being the number of trees to aggregate.

Tool for easy prior construction and visualization. It helps to formulates joint prior distributions for variance parameters in latent Gaussian models. The resulting prior is robust and can be created in an intuitive way. A graphical user interface (GUI) can be used to choose the joint prior, where the user can click through the model and select priors. An extensive guide is available in the GUI. The package allows for direct inference with the specified model and prior. Using a hierarchical variance decomposition, we formulate a joint variance prior that takes the whole model structure into account. In this way, existing knowledge can intuitively be incorporated at the level it applies to. Alternatively, one can use independent variance priors for each model components in the latent Gaussian model. Details can be found in the accompanying scientific paper: Hem, Fuglstad, Riebler (2024, Journal of Statistical Software, <doi:10.18637/jss.v110.i03>).

This package provides functions for diagnostic meta-analysis. Next to basic analysis and visualization the bivariate Model of Reitsma et al.

Standard methods like summary, plot and so on are provided.

Characterization of a mid-summer drought (MSD) with precipitation based statistics. The MSD is a phenomenon of decreased rainfall during a typical rainy season. It is a feature of rainfall in much of Central America and is also found in other locations, typically those with a Mediterranean climate. Details on the metrics are in Maurer et al. (2022) <doi:10.5194/hess-26-1425-2022>.

It is designed to work with text written in Bahasa Malaysia. We provide functions and data sets that will make working with Bahasa Malaysia text much easier. For word stemming in particular, we will look up the Malay words in a dictionary and then proceed to remove "extra suffix" as explained in Khan, Rehman Ullah, Fitri Suraya Mohamad, Muh Inam UlHaq, Shahren Ahmad Zadi Adruce, Philip Nuli Anding, Sajjad Nawaz Khan, and Abdulrazak Yahya Saleh Al-Hababi (2017) <https://ijrest.net/vol-4-issue-12.html> . This package includes a dictionary of Malay words that may be used to perform word stemming, a dataset of Malay stop words, a dataset of sentiment words and a dataset of normalized words.

The word Meme was originated from the book, The Selfish Gene', authored by Richard Dawkins (1976). It is a unit of culture that is passed from one generation to another and correlates to the gene, the unit of physical heredity. The internet memes are captioned photos that are intended to be funny, ridiculous. Memes behave like infectious viruses and travel from person to person quickly through social media. The meme package allows users to make custom memes.

This package provides a suite of compiled functions calculating rolling mins, means, maxes and other statistics. This package is designed to meet the needs of data processing systems for environmental time series.

Meta-analysis of generalized additive models and generalized additive mixed models. A typical use case is when data cannot be shared across locations, and an overall meta-analytic fit is sought. metagam provides functionality for removing individual participant data from models computed using the mgcv and gamm4 packages such that the model objects can be shared without exposing individual data. Furthermore, methods for meta-analysing these fits are provided. The implemented methods are described in Sorensen et al. (2020), <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117416>, extending previous works by Schwartz and Zanobetti (2000) and Crippa et al. (2018) <doi:10.6000/1929-6029.2018.07.02.1>.

It can be used to create/encode molecular "license-plates" from sequences and to also decode the "license-plates" back to sequences. While initially created for transfer RNA-derived small fragments (tRFs), this tool can be used for any genomic sequences including but not limited to: tRFs, microRNAs, etc. The detailed information can reference to Pliatsika V, Loher P, Telonis AG, Rigoutsos I (2016) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw194>. It can also be used to annotate tRFs. The detailed information can reference to Loher P, Telonis AG, Rigoutsos I (2017) <doi:10.1038/srep41184>.

This package allows users to search for globally threatened tree species within the andean montane forests, including cloud forests and seasonal (wet) forests above 1500 m a.s.l.

Transferring over a code base from Matlab to R is often a repetitive and inefficient use of time. This package provides a translator for Matlab / Octave code into R code. It does some syntax changes, but most of the heavy lifting is in the function changes since the languages are so similar. Options for different data structures and the functions that can be changed are given. The Matlab code should be mostly in adherence to the standard style guide but some effort has been made to accommodate different number of spaces and other small syntax issues. This will not make the code more R friendly and may not even run afterwards. However, the rudimentary syntax, base function and data structure conversion is done quickly so that the maintainer can focus on changes to the design structure.

Discrete event simulation using both R and C++ (Karlsson et al 2016; <doi:10.1109/eScience.2016.7870915>). The C++ code is adapted from the SSIM library <https://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/ssim/>, allowing for event-oriented simulation. The code includes a SummaryReport class for reporting events and costs by age and other covariates. The C++ code is available as a static library for linking to other packages. A priority queue implementation is given in C++ together with an S3 closure and a reference class implementation. Finally, some tools are provided for cost-effectiveness analysis.

This is an EM algorithm based method for imputation of missing values in multivariate normal time series. The imputation algorithm accounts for both spatial and temporal correlation structures. Temporal patterns can be modeled using an ARIMA(p,d,q), optionally with seasonal components, a non-parametric cubic spline or generalized additive models with exogenous covariates. This algorithm is specially tailored for climate data with missing measurements from several monitors along a given region.

Nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio data types are supported, with options to create bootstrapped estimates of alpha and/or parallelize calculations.
