Symbolic computing with multivariate polynomials in R.

Early insights in probability theory were largely influenced by questions about gambling and games of chance, as noted by Blitzstein and Hwang (2019, ISBN:978-1138369917). In modern times, playing cards continue to serve as an effective teaching tool for probability, statistics, and even R programming, as demonstrated by Grolemund (2014, ISBN:978-1449359010). The mmcards package offers a collection of utility functions designed to aid in the creation, manipulation, and utilization of playing card decks in multiple formats. These include a standard 52-card deck, as well as alternative decks such as decks defined by custom anonymous functions and custom interleaved decks. Optimized for the development of educational shiny applications, the package is particularly useful for teaching statistics and probability through card-based games. Functions include shuffle_deck(), which creates either a shuffled standard deck or a shuffled custom alternative deck; deal_card(), which takes a deck and returns a list object containing both the dealt card and the updated deck; and i_deck(), which adds image paths to card objects, further enriching the package's utility in the development of interactive shiny application card games.

Identifying maturation stages across young athletes is paramount for talent identification. Furthermore, the concept of biobanding, or grouping of athletes based on their biological development, instead of their chronological age, has been widely researched. The goal of this package is to help professionals working in the field of strength & conditioning and talent ID obtain common maturation metrics and as well as to quickly visualize this information via several plotting options. For the methods behind the computed maturation metrics implemented in this package refer to Khamis, H. J., & Roche, A. F. (1994) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7936860/>, Mirwald, R.L et al., (2002) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11932580/> and Cumming, Sean P. et al., (2017) <doi:10.1519/SSC.0000000000000281>.

Biodiversity areas, especially primary forest, serve a multitude of functions for local economy, regional functionality of the ecosystems as well as the global health of our planet. Recently, adverse changes in human land use practices and climatic responses to increased greenhouse gas emissions, put these biodiversity areas under a variety of different threats. The present package helps to analyse a number of biodiversity indicators based on freely available geographical datasets. It supports computational efficient routines that allow the analysis of potentially global biodiversity portfolios. The primary use case of the package is to support evidence based reporting of an organization's effort to protect biodiversity areas under threat and to identify regions were intervention is most duly needed.

Computes the optimal number of regions (or subdivisions) and their position in serial structures without a priori assumptions and to visualize the results. After reducing data dimensionality with the built-in function for data ordination, regions are fitted as segmented linear regressions along the serial structure. Every region boundary position and increasing number of regions are iteratively fitted and the best model (number of regions and boundary positions) is selected with an information criterion. This package expands on the previous regions package (Jones et al., Science 2018) with improved computation and more fitting and plotting options.

Using this package, one can determine the minimum sample size required so that the absolute deviation of the sample mean and the population mean of a distribution becomes less than some pre-determined epsilon, i.e. it helps the user to determine the minimum sample size required to attain the pre-fixed precision level by minimizing the difference between the sample mean and population mean.

This package provides supplemental functions for the mixRasch package (Willse, 2014), <https://cran.r-project.org/package=mixRasch/mixRasch.pdf> including a plotting function to compare item parameters for multiple class models and a function that provides average theta values for each class in a mixture model.

This package provides a number of functions to facilitate the handling and production of reports using time series data. The package was developed to be understandable for beginners, so some functions aim to transform processes that would be complex into functions with a few lines. The main advantage of using the metools package is the ease of producing reports and working with time series using a few lines of code, so the code is clean and easy to understand/maintain.

Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MT) system is a collection of multivariate analysis methods developed for the field of quality engineering. MT system consists of two families depending on their purpose. One is a family of Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MT) methods (in the broad sense) for diagnosis (see Woodall, W. H., Koudelik, R., Tsui, K. L., Kim, S. B., Stoumbos, Z. G., and Carvounis, C. P. (2003) <doi:10.1198/004017002188618626>) and the other is a family of Taguchi (T) methods for forecasting (see Kawada, H., and Nagata, Y. (2015) <doi:10.17929/tqs.1.12>). The MT package contains three basic methods for the family of MT methods and one basic method for the family of T methods. The MT method (in the narrow sense), the Mahalanobis-Taguchi Adjoint (MTA) methods, and the Recognition-Taguchi (RT) method are for the MT method and the two-sided Taguchi (T1) method is for the family of T methods. In addition, the Ta and Tb methods, which are the improved versions of the T1 method, are included.

Two distinct but related statistical approaches to the problem of identifying the combinations of medication error characteristics that are more likely to result in harm are implemented in this package: 1) a Bayesian hierarchical model with optimal Bayesian ranking on the log odds of harm, and 2) an empirical Bayes model that estimates the ratio of the observed count of harm to the count that would be expected if error characteristics and harm were independent. In addition, for the Bayesian hierarchical model, the package provides functions to assess the sensitivity of results to different specifications of the random effects distributions.
