The sample mean and standard deviation are two commonly used statistics in meta-analyses, but some trials use other summary statistics such as the median and quartiles to report the results. Therefore, researchers need to transform those information back to the sample mean and standard deviation. This package implemented sample mean estimators by Luo et al. (2016) <arXiv:1505.05687>, sample standard deviation estimators by Wan et al. (2014) <arXiv:1407.8038>, and the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) of location and scale parameters by Yang et al. (2018, submitted) based on sample quantiles derived summaries in a meta-analysis.

This package provides a toolbox to handle and represent trophic networks in space or time across aggregation levels. This package contains a layout algorithm specifically designed for trophic networks, using dimension reduction on a diffusion graph kernel and trophic levels. Importantly, this package provides a layout method applicable for large trophic networks.

Leverages the R language to automate latent variable model estimation and interpretation using Mplus', a powerful latent variable modeling program developed by Muthen and Muthen (<https://www.statmodel.com>). Specifically, this package provides routines for creating related groups of models, running batches of models, and extracting and tabulating model parameters and fit statistics.

This package provides a set of utility functions for analysing and modelling data from continuous report short-term memory experiments using either the 2-component mixture model of Zhang and Luck (2008) <doi:10.1038/nature06860> or the 3-component mixture model of Bays et al. (2009) <doi:10.1167/9.10.7>. Users are also able to simulate from these models.

Provide simple functions to (i) compute a class of multi-functionality measures for a single ecosystem for given function weights, (ii) decompose gamma multi-functionality for pairs of ecosystems and K ecosystems (K can be greater than 2) into a within-ecosystem component (alpha multi-functionality) and an among-ecosystem component (beta multi-functionality). In each case, the correlation between functions can be corrected for. Based on biodiversity and ecosystem function data, this software also facilitates graphics for assessing biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships across scales.

Generates blocked designs for mixed-level factorial experiments for a given block size. Internally, it uses finite-field based, collapsed, and heuristic methods to construct block structures that minimize confounding between block effects and factorial effects. The package creates the full treatment combination table, partitions runs into blocks, and computes detailed confounding diagnostics for main effects and two-factor interactions. It also checks orthogonal factorial structure (OFS) and computes efficiencies of factorial effects using the methods of Nair and Rao (1948) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1948.tb00005.x>. When OFS is not satisfied but the design has equal treatment replications and equal block sizes, a general method based on the C-matrix and custom contrast vectors is used to compute efficiencies. The output includes the generated design, finite-field metadata, confounding summaries, OFS diagnostics, and efficiency results.

This package implements Gibbs sampling and Bayes factors for multinomial models with linear inequality constraints on the vector of probability parameters. As special cases, the model class includes models that predict a linear order of binomial probabilities (e.g., p[1] < p[2] < p[3] < .50) and mixture models assuming that the parameter vector p must be inside the convex hull of a finite number of predicted patterns (i.e., vertices). A formal definition of inequality-constrained multinomial models and the implemented computational methods is provided in: Heck, D.W., & Davis-Stober, C.P. (2019). Multinomial models with linear inequality constraints: Overview and improvements of computational methods for Bayesian inference. Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 91, 70-87. <doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2019.03.004>. Inequality-constrained multinomial models have applications in the area of judgment and decision making to fit and test random utility models (Regenwetter, M., Dana, J., & Davis-Stober, C.P. (2011). Transitivity of preferences. Psychological Review, 118, 42â 56, <doi:10.1037/a0021150>) or to perform outcome-based strategy classification to select the decision strategy that provides the best account for a vector of observed choice frequencies (Heck, D.W., Hilbig, B.E., & Moshagen, M. (2017). From information processing to decisions: Formalizing and comparing probabilistic choice models. Cognitive Psychology, 96, 26â 40. <doi:10.1016/j.cogpsych.2017.05.003>).

This package provides a number of testthat tests that can be used to verify that tidy(), glance() and augment() methods meet consistent specifications. This allows methods for the same generic to be spread across multiple packages, since all of those packages can make the same guarantees to users about returned objects.

Grey model is commonly used in time series forecasting when statistical assumptions are violated with a limited number of data points. The minimum number of data points required to fit a grey model is four observations. This package fits Grey model of First order and One Variable, i.e., GM (1,1) for multivariate time series data and returns the parameters of the model, model evaluation criteria and h-step ahead forecast values for each of the time series variables. For method details see, Akay, D. and Atak, M. (2007) <DOI:10.1016/j.energy.2006.11.014>, Hsu, L. and Wang, C. (2007).<DOI:10.1016/j.techfore.2006.02.005>.

Run multiple Large Language Model predictions against a table. The predictions run row-wise over a specified column. It works using a one-shot prompt, along with the current row's content. The prompt that is used will depend of the type of analysis needed.

This package provides a tool for computing probabilities and other quantities that are relevant in selecting performance criteria for discrete trial training. The main function, miebl(), computes Bayesian and frequentist probabilities and bounds for each of n possible performance criterion choices when attempting to determine a student's true mastery level by counting their number of successful attempts at displaying learning among n trials. The reporting function miebl_re() takes output from miebl() and prepares it into a brief report for a specific criterion. miebl_cp() combines 2 to 5 distributions of true mastery level given performance criterion in one plot for comparison.

Quantitative RT-PCR data are analyzed using generalized linear mixed models based on lognormal-Poisson error distribution, fitted using MCMC. Control genes are not required but can be incorporated as Bayesian priors or, when template abundances correlate with conditions, as trackers of global effects (common to all genes). The package also implements a lognormal model for higher-abundance data and a "classic" model involving multi-gene normalization on a by-sample basis. Several plotting functions are included to extract and visualize results. The detailed tutorial is available here: <https://matzlab.weebly.com/uploads/7/6/2/2/76229469/mcmc.qpcr.tutorial.v1.2.4.pdf>.

An ensemble meta-prediction framework to integrate multiple regression models into a current study. Gu, T., Taylor, J.M.G. and Mukherjee, B. (2020) <arXiv:2010.09971>. A meta-analysis framework along with two weighted estimators as the ensemble of empirical Bayes estimators, which combines the estimates from the different external models. The proposed framework is flexible and robust in the ways that (i) it is capable of incorporating external models that use a slightly different set of covariates; (ii) it is able to identify the most relevant external information and diminish the influence of information that is less compatible with the internal data; and (iii) it nicely balances the bias-variance trade-off while preserving the most efficiency gain. The proposed estimators are more efficient than the naive analysis of the internal data and other naive combinations of external estimators.
