Modular implementation of Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) [Zhang and Li (2007), <DOI:10.1109/TEVC.2007.892759>] for quick assembling and testing of new algorithmic components, as well as easy replication of published MOEA/D proposals. The full framework is documented in a paper published in the Journal of Statistical Software [<doi:10.18637/jss.v092.i06>].

The primary aim of MasterBayes is to use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques to integrate over uncertainty in pedigree configurations estimated from molecular markers and phenotypic data (Hadfield et al. (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-294X.2006.03050.x>). Emphasis is put on the marginal distribution of parameters that relate the phenotypic data to the pedigree. All simulation is done in compiled C++ for efficiency.

This package provides a client for interacting with magma', the data warehouse of the UCSF Data Library'. magmaR includes functions for querying and downloading data from magma', in order to enable working with such data in R, as well as for uploading local data to magma'.

An approach to identify microbiome biomarker for time to event data by discovering microbiome for predicting survival and classifying subjects into risk groups. Classifiers are constructed as a linear combination of important microbiome and treatment effects if necessary. Several methods were implemented to estimate the microbiome risk score such as the LASSO method by Robert Tibshirani (1998) <doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19970228)16:4%3C385::AID-SIM380%3E3.0.CO;2-3>, Elastic net approach by Hui Zou and Trevor Hastie (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00503.x>, supervised principle component analysis of Wold Svante et al. (1987) <doi:10.1016/0169-7439(87)80084-9>, and supervised partial least squares analysis by Inge S. Helland <https://www.jstor.org/stable/4616159>. Sensitivity analysis on the quantile used for the classification can also be accessed to check the deviation of the classification group based on the quantile specified. Large scale cross validation can be performed in order to investigate the mostly selected microbiome and for internal validation. During the evaluation process, validation is accessed using the hazard ratios (HR) distribution of the test set and inference is mainly based on resampling and permutations technique.

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.

This package provides a generalization of principal component analysis for integrative analysis. The method finds principal components that describe single matrices or that are common to several matrices. The solutions are sparse. Rank of solutions is automatically selected using cross validation. The method is described in Kallus et al. (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1911.04927>.

This package provides a system for Analysis of LSD when there is one missing observation. Methods for this process is described in A.M.Gun,M.K.Gupta,B.Dasgupta(2019,ISBN:81-87567-81-3).

This package provides a simple in-memory, LRU cache that can be wrapped around any function to memoize it. The cache is keyed on a hash of the input data (using digest') or on pointer equivalence. Also includes a generic hashmap object that can key on any object type.

The unique function of this package allows representing in a single graph the relative occurrence and co-occurrence of events measured in a sample. As examples, the package was applied to describe the occurrence and co-occurrence of different species of bacterial or viral symbionts infecting arthropods at the individual level. The graphics allows determining the prevalence of each symbiont and the patterns of multiple infections (i.e. how different symbionts share or not the same individual hosts). We named the package after the famous painter as the graphical output recalls Mondrianâ s paintings.

This package provides spatially survey balanced designs using the quasi-random number method described Robinson et al. (2013) <doi:10.1111/biom.12059> and adjusted in Robinson et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2017.05.004>. Designs using MBHdesign can: 1) accommodate, without substantial detrimental effects on spatial balance, legacy sites (Foster et al., 2017 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12782>); 2) be based on points or transects (foster et al. 2020 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13321> and produce clustered samples (Foster et al. (in press). Additional information about the package use itself is given in Foster (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13535>.

The utility of this package is in simulating mixtures of Gaussian distributions with different levels of overlap between mixture components. Pairwise overlap, defined as a sum of two misclassification probabilities, measures the degree of interaction between components and can be readily employed to control the clustering complexity of datasets simulated from mixtures. These datasets can then be used for systematic performance investigation of clustering and finite mixture modeling algorithms. Among other capabilities of MixSim', there are computing the exact overlap for Gaussian mixtures, simulating Gaussian and non-Gaussian data, simulating outliers and noise variables, calculating various measures of agreement between two partitionings, and constructing parallel distribution plots for the graphical display of finite mixture models.

Designs plots in terms of core structure. See example(metaplot)'. Primary arguments are (unquoted) column names; order and type (numeric or not) dictate the resulting plot. Specify any y variables, x variable, any groups variable, and any conditioning variables to metaplot() to generate density plots, boxplots, mosaic plots, scatterplots, scatterplot matrices, or conditioned plots. Use multiplot() to arrange plots in grids. Wherever present, scalar column attributes label and guide are honored, producing fully annotated plots with minimal effort. Attribute guide is typically units, but may be encoded() to provide interpretations of categorical values (see ?encode'). Utility unpack() transforms scalar column attributes to row values and pack() does the reverse, supporting tool-neutral storage of metadata along with primary data. The package supports customizable aesthetics such as such as reference lines, unity lines, smooths, log transformation, and linear fits. The user may choose between trellis and ggplot output. Compact syntax and integrated metadata promote workflow scalability.

Penalized regression methods, such as lasso and elastic net, are used in many biomedical applications when simultaneous regression coefficient estimation and variable selection is desired. However, missing data complicates the implementation of these methods, particularly when missingness is handled using multiple imputation. Applying a variable selection algorithm on each imputed dataset will likely lead to different sets of selected predictors, making it difficult to ascertain a final active set without resorting to ad hoc combination rules. miselect presents Stacked Adaptive Elastic Net (saenet) and Grouped Adaptive LASSO (galasso) for continuous and binary outcomes, developed by Du et al (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2035739>. They, by construction, force selection of the same variables across multiply imputed data. miselect also provides cross validated variants of these methods.

(2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-72664-6>) transformation, centering and scaling (Van Den Berg et al. (2006) <doi:10.1186/1471-2164-7-142>) as well as statistical tests and plotting. metamorphr introduces a tidy (Wickham et al. (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01686>) format for metabolomics data and is designed to make it easier to build elaborate analysis workflows and to integrate them with tidyverse packages including dplyr and ggplot2'.
