Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for true QTL.

This package implements several methods to meta-analyze studies that report the sample median of the outcome. The methods described by McGrath et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8013>, Ozturk and Balakrishnan (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8738>, and McGrath et al. (2020a) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201900036> can be applied to directly meta-analyze the median or difference of medians between groups. Additionally, a number of methods (e.g., McGrath et al. (2020b) <doi:10.1177/0962280219889080>, Cai et al. (2021) <doi:10.1177/09622802211047348>, and McGrath et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221139233>) are implemented to estimate study-specific (difference of) means and their standard errors in order to estimate the pooled (difference of) means. Methods for meta-analyzing median survival times (McGrath et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.03065>) are also implemented. See McGrath et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1686> for a detailed guide on using the package.

Mobile Motor Activity Research Consortium for Health (mMARCH) is a collaborative network of studies of clinical and community samples that employ common clinical, biological, and digital mobile measures across involved studies. One of the main scientific goals of mMARCH sites is developing a better understanding of the inter-relationships between accelerometry-measured physical activity (PA), sleep (SL), and circadian rhythmicity (CR) and mental and physical health in children, adolescents, and adults. Currently, there is no consensus on a standard procedure for a data processing pipeline of raw accelerometry data, and few open-source tools to facilitate their development. The R package GGIR is the most prominent open-source software package that offers great functionality and tremendous user flexibility to process raw accelerometry data. However, even with GGIR', processing done in a harmonized and reproducible fashion requires a non-trivial amount of expertise combined with a careful implementation. In addition, novel accelerometry-derived features of PA/SL/CR capturing multiscale, time-series, functional, distributional and other complimentary aspects of accelerometry data being constantly proposed and become available via non-GGIR R implementations. To address these issues, mMARCH developed a streamlined harmonized and reproducible pipeline for loading and cleaning raw accelerometry data, extracting features available through GGIR as well as through non-GGIR R packages, implementing several data and feature quality checks, merging all features of PA/SL/CR together, and performing multiple analyses including Joint Individual Variation Explained (JIVE), an unsupervised machine learning dimension reduction technique that identifies latent factors capturing joint across and individual to each of three domains of PA/SL/CR. In detail, the pipeline generates all necessary R/Rmd/shell files for data processing after running GGIR for accelerometer data. In module 1, all csv files in the GGIR output directory were read, transformed and then merged. In module 2, the GGIR output files were checked and summarized in one excel sheet. In module 3, the merged data was cleaned according to the number of valid hours on each night and the number of valid days for each subject. In module 4, the cleaned activity data was imputed by the average Euclidean norm minus one (ENMO) over all the valid days for each subject. Finally, a comprehensive report of data processing was created using Rmarkdown, and the report includes few exploratory plots and multiple commonly used features extracted from minute level actigraphy data.

Generates efficient balanced non-aliased multi-level k-circulant supersaturated designs by interchanging the elements of the generator vector. Attempts to generate a supersaturated design that has chisquare efficiency more than user specified efficiency level (mef). Displays the progress of generation of an efficient multi-level k-circulant design through a progress bar. The progress of 100% means that one full round of interchange is completed. More than one full round (typically 4-5 rounds) of interchange may be required for larger designs.

Family Planning programs and initiatives typically use nationally representative surveys to estimate key indicators of a countryâ s family planning progress. However, in recent years, routinely collected family planning services data (Service Statistics) have been used as a supplementary data source to bridge gaps in the surveys. The use of service statistics comes with the caveat that adjustments need to be made for missing private sector contributions to the contraceptive method supply chain. Evaluating the supply source of modern contraceptives often relies on Demographic Health Surveys (DHS), where many countries do not have recent data beyond 2015/16. Fortunately, in the absence of recent surveys we can rely on statistical model-based estimates and projections to fill the knowledge gap. We present a Bayesian, hierarchical, penalized-spline model with multivariate-normal spline coefficients, to account for across method correlations, to produce country-specific,annual estimates for the proportion of modern contraceptive methods coming from the public and private sectors. This package provides a quick and convenient way for users to access the DHS modern contraceptive supply share data at national and subnational administration levels, estimate, evaluate and plot annual estimates with uncertainty for a sample of low- and middle-income countries. Methods for the estimation of method supply shares at the national level are described in Comiskey, Alkema, Cahill (2022) <arXiv:2212.03844>.

This package provides a data generator of multivariate non-normal data in R. It combines two different methods to generate non-normal data, one with user-specified multivariate skewness and kurtosis (more details can be found in the paper: Qu, Liu, & Zhang, 2019 <doi:10.3758/s13428-019-01291-5>), and the other with the given marginal skewness and kurtosis. The latter one is the widely-used Vale and Maurelli's method. It also contains a function to calculate univariate and multivariate (Mardia's Test) skew and kurtosis.
