Implementation of parametric and semiparametric mixture cure models based on existing R packages. See details of the models in Peng and Yu (2020) <ISBN: 9780367145576>.

This package provides functionality for estimating cross-sectional network structures representing partial correlations while accounting for missing data. Networks are estimated via neighborhood selection or regularization, with model selection guided by information criteria. Missing data can be handled primarily via multiple imputation or a maximum likelihood-based approach, as demonstrated by Nehler and Schultze (2025a) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/qpj35> and Nehler and Schultze (2025b) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2025.2503833>. Deletion-based approaches are also available but play a secondary role.

This package provides the ability to perform "Marginal Mediation"--mediation wherein the indirect and direct effects are in terms of the average marginal effects (Bartus, 2005, <https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:tsj:stataj:v:5:y:2005:i:3:p:309-329>). The style of the average marginal effects stems from Thomas Leeper's work on the "margins" package. This framework allows the use of categorical mediators and outcomes with little change in interpretation from the continuous mediators/outcomes. See <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.18465.92001> for more details on the method.

Framework for the Item Response Theory analysis of dichotomous and ordinal polytomous outcomes under the assumption of multidimensionality and discreteness of the latent traits. The fitting algorithms allow for missing responses and for different item parameterizations and are based on the Expectation-Maximization paradigm. Individual covariates affecting the class weights may be included in the new version (since 2.1).

Exploratory data analysis and manipulation functions for multi- label data sets along with an interactive Shiny application to ease their use.

Test for overall association between microbiome composition data and phenotypes via phylogenetic kernels. The phenotype can be univariate continuous or binary (Zhao et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2015.04.003>), survival outcomes (Plantinga et al. (2017) <doi:10.1186/s40168-017-0239-9>), multivariate (Zhan et al. (2017) <doi:10.1002/gepi.22030>) and structured phenotypes (Zhan et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12684>). The package can also use robust regression (unpublished work) and integrated quantile regression (Wang et al. (2021) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab668>). In each case, the microbiome community effect is modeled nonparametrically through a kernel function, which can incorporate phylogenetic tree information.

This package provides a collection of tools for analyzing significance of Markowitz portfolios, using the delta method on the second moment matrix, <arxiv:1312.0557>.

Facilitate frequentist and Bayesian meta-analysis of diagnosis and prognosis research studies. It includes functions to summarize multiple estimates of prediction model discrimination and calibration performance (Debray et al., 2019) <doi:10.1177/0962280218785504>. It also includes functions to evaluate funnel plot asymmetry (Debray et al., 2018) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1266>. Finally, the package provides functions for developing multivariable prediction models from datasets with clustering (de Jong et al., 2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.8981>.

The Mutual Information Index (M) introduced to social science literature by Theil and Finizza (1971) <doi:10.1080/0022250X.1971.9989795> is a multigroup segregation measure that is highly decomposable and that according to Frankel and Volij (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jet.2010.10.008> and Mora and Ruiz-Castillo (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9531.2011.01237.x> satisfies the Strong Unit Decomposability and Strong Group Decomposability properties. This package allows computing and decomposing the total index value into its "between" and "within" terms. These last terms can also be decomposed into their contributions, either by group or unit characteristics. The factors that produce each "within" term can also be displayed at the user's request. The results can be computed considering a variable or sets of variables that define separate clusters.

This package provides programmatic access to the Meetup GraphQL API (<https://www.meetup.com/graphql/>), enabling users to retrieve information about groups, events, and members from Meetup (<https://www.meetup.com/>). Supports authentication via OAuth2 and includes functions for common queries and data manipulation tasks.

This package implements three bias-correction techniques from Battaglia et al. (2025 <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.15585>) to improve inference in regression models with covariates generated by AI or machine learning.

We provide detailed functions for univariate Mixed Tempered Stable distribution.

Estimates models that extend the standard GLM to take misclassification into account. The models require side information from a secondary data set on the misclassification process, i.e. some sort of misclassification probabilities conditional on some common covariates. A detailed description of the algorithm can be found in Dlugosz, Mammen and Wilke (2015) <https://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp15043.pdf>.

Consistent user interface to the most common regression and classification algorithms, such as random forest, neural networks, C5 trees and support vector machines, complemented with a handful of auxiliary functions, such as variable importance and a tuning function for the parameters.

Several functions can be used to analyze multiblock multivariable data. If the input is a single matrix, then principal components analysis (PCA) is implemented. If the input is a list of matrices, then multiblock PCA is implemented. If the input is two matrices, for exploratory and objective variables, then partial least squares (PLS) analysis is implemented. If the input is two lists of matrices, for exploratory and objective variables, then multiblock PLS analysis is implemented. Additionally, if an extra outcome variable is specified, then a supervised version of the methods above is implemented. For each method, sparse modeling is also incorporated. Functions for selecting the number of components and regularized parameters are also provided.

This package provides tools to quantify ecological memory in long time-series with Random Forest models (Breiman 2001 <doi:10.1023/A:1010933404324>) fitted with the ranger library (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01>). Particularly oriented to palaeoecological datasets and simulated pollen curves produced by the virtualPollen package, but also applicable to other long time-series involving a set of environmental drivers and a biotic response.

Implementation of the MarkerPen algorithm, short for marker gene detection via penalized principal component analysis, described in the paper by Qiu, Wang, Lei, and Roeder (2021, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab257>). MarkerPen is a semi-supervised algorithm for detecting marker genes by combining prior marker information with bulk transcriptome data.

Support JSON flattening in a long data frame way, where the nesting keys will be stored in the absolute path. It also provides an easy way to summarize the basic description of a JSON list. The idea of mojson is to transform a JSON object in an absolute serialization way, which means the early key-value pairs will appear in the heading rows of the resultant data frame. mojson also provides an alternative way of comparing two different JSON lists, returning the left/inner/right-join style results.

This package provides functions similar to the SAS macros previously provided to accompany Collins, Dziak, and Li (2009) <DOI:10.1037/a0015826> and Dziak, Nahum-Shani, and Collins (2012) <DOI:10.1037/a0026972>, papers which outline practical benefits and challenges of factorial and fractional factorial experiments for scientists interested in developing biological and/or behavioral interventions, especially in the context of the multiphase optimization strategy (see Collins, Kugler & Gwadz 2016) <DOI:10.1007/s10461-015-1145-4>. The package currently contains three functions. First, RelativeCosts1() draws a graph of the relative cost of complete and reduced factorial designs versus other alternatives. Second, RandomAssignmentGenerator() returns a dataframe which contains a list of random numbers that can be used to conveniently assign participants to conditions in an experiment with many conditions. Third, FactorialPowerPlan() estimates the power, detectable effect size, or required sample size of a factorial or fractional factorial experiment, for main effects or interactions, given several possible choices of effect size metric, and allowing pretests and clustering.

Potanin (2018) <https://ideas.repec.org/a/ris/apltrx/0346.html>.

This package provides a collection of functions to perform various meta-analytical models through a unified mixed-effects framework, including standard univariate fixed and random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression, and non-standard extensions such as multivariate, multilevel, longitudinal, and dose-response models.

Multivariate joint models of longitudinal and time-to-event data based on functional principal components implemented with bamlss'. Implementation for Volkmann, Umlauf, Greven (2023) <arXiv:2311.06409>.

Generate interactive html reports that enable quick visual review of multiple related time series stored in a data frame. For static datasets, this can help to identify any temporal artefacts that may affect the validity of subsequent analyses. For live data feeds, regularly scheduled reports can help to pro-actively identify data feed problems or unexpected trends that may require action. The reports are self-contained and shareable without a web server.

Novel method to unbiasedly include studies with Non-statistically Significant Unreported Effects (NSUEs) in a meta-analysis. First, the function calculates the interval where the unreported effects (e.g., t-values) should be according to the threshold of statistical significance used in each study. Afterward, the method uses maximum likelihood techniques to impute the expected effect size of each study with NSUEs, accounting for between-study heterogeneity and potential covariates. Multiple imputations of the NSUEs are then randomly created based on the expected value, variance, and statistical significance bounds. Finally, it conducts a restricted-maximum likelihood random-effects meta-analysis separately for each set of imputations, and it performs estimations from these meta-analyses. Please read the reference in metansue for details of the procedure.
