S4 tool box for capacity (or non-additive measure, fuzzy measure) and integral manipulation in a finite setting. It contains routines for handling various types of set functions such as games or capacities. It can be used to compute several non-additive integrals: the Choquet integral, the Sugeno integral, and the symmetric and asymmetric Choquet integrals. An analysis of capacities in terms of decision behavior can be performed through the computation of various indices such as the Shapley value, the interaction index, the orness degree, etc. The well-known Möbius transform, as well as other equivalent representations of set functions can also be computed. Kappalab further contains seven capacity identification routines: three least squares based approaches, a method based on linear programming, a maximum entropy like method based on variance minimization, a minimum distance approach and an unsupervised approach based on parametric entropies. The functions contained in Kappalab can for instance be used in the framework of multicriteria decision making or cooperative game theory.

Identification of putative causal variants in genome-wide association studies with trio and duo families. The package calculates the W feature statistics from KnockoffTrio and p-values from the family-based association test (FBAT) using trio and/or duo data. Compared to previous versions, a significant improvement has been made in Version 1.1.0 to allow the package to be applied not only to trio families but also to duo families. The package implements the methods in the paper: "Yang, Y., Wang, C., Liu, L., Buxbaum, J., He, Z., & Ionita-Laza, I. (2022). KnockoffTrio: A knockoff framework for the identification of putative causal variants in genome-wide association studies with trio design. The American Journal of Human Genetics, 109(10), 1761-1776.".

This package provides a collection of functions for analyzing data typically collected or used by behavioral scientists. Examples of the functions include a function that compares groups in a factorial experimental design, a function that conducts two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a function that cleans a data set generated by Qualtrics surveys. Some of the functions will require installing additional package(s). Such packages and other references are cited within the section describing the relevant functions. Many functions in this package rely heavily on these two popular R packages: Dowle et al. (2021) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=data.table>. Wickham et al. (2021) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ggplot2>.

This package provides a comprehensive set of geostatistical, visual, and analytical methods, in conjunction with the expanded version of the acclaimed J.E. Klovan's mining dataset, are included in klovan'. This makes the package an excellent learning resource for Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Factor Analysis (FA), kriging, and other geostatistical techniques. Originally published in the 1976 book Geological Factor Analysis', the included mining dataset was assembled by Professor J. E. Klovan of the University of Calgary. Being one of the first applications of FA in the geosciences, this dataset has significant historical importance. As a well-regarded and published dataset, it is an excellent resource for demonstrating the capabilities of PCA, FA, kriging, and other geostatistical techniques in geosciences. For those interested in these methods, the klovan datasets provide a valuable and illustrative resource. Note that some methods require the RGeostats package. Please refer to the README or Additional_repositories for installation instructions. This material is based upon research in the Materials Data Science for Stockpile Stewardship Center of Excellence (MDS3-COE), and supported by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under Award Number DE-NA0004104.

This package implements methodology currently under peer review; please contact the author before publication using this approach. Development followed an iterative human-machine collaboration where all algorithmic design, statistical methodologies, and biological validation logic were conceptualized, tested, and iteratively refined by Richard A. Feiss through repeated cycles of running experimental data, evaluating analytical outputs, and selecting among candidate algorithms and approaches. AI systems ('Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT') served as coding assistants and analytical sounding boards under continuous human direction. The selection of statistical methods, evaluation of biological plausibility, and all final methodology decisions were made by the human author. AI systems did not independently originate algorithms, statistical approaches, or scientific methodologies.

This is designed for use with an arbitrary set of equations with an arbitrary set of unknowns. The user selects "fixed" values for enough unknowns to leave as many variables as there are equations, which in most cases means the system is properly defined and a unique solution exists. The function, the fixed values and initial values for the remaining unknowns are fed to a nonlinear backsolver. The original version of "TK!Solver" , now a product of Universal Technical Systems (<https://www.uts.com>) was the inspiration for this function.
