This package provides a shiny interface for a free, open-source managerial accounting-like system for health care practices. This package allows health care administrators to project revenue with monthly adjustments and procedure-specific boosts up to a 3-year period. Granular data (patient-level) to aggregated data (department- or hospital-level) can all be used as valid inputs provided historical volume and revenue data is available. For more details on managerial accounting techniques, see Brewer et al. (2015, ISBN:9780078025792).

Allows for painless use of the Metopio health atlas APIs <https://metopio.com/health-atlas> to explore and import data. Metopio health atlases store open public health data. See what topics (or indicators) are available among specific populations, periods, and geographic layers. Download relevant data along with geographic boundaries or point datasets. Spatial datasets are returned as sf objects.

This package provides a streamlined tool for eplet analysis of donor and recipient HLA (human leukocyte antigen) mismatch. Messy, low-resolution HLA typing data is cleaned, and imputed to high-resolution using the NMDP (National Marrow Donor Program) haplotype reference database <https://haplostats.org/haplostats>. High resolution data is analyzed for overall or single antigen eplet mismatch using a reference table (currently supporting HLAMatchMaker <http://www.epitopes.net> versions 2 and 3). Data can enter or exit the workflow at different points depending on the user's aims and initial data quality.

This package implements an efficient algorithm for fitting the entire regularization path of quantile regression models with elastic-net penalties using a generalized coordinate descent scheme. The framework also supports SCAD and MCP penalties. It is designed for high-dimensional datasets and emphasizes numerical accuracy and computational efficiency.

Aimed at applying the Harvest classification tree algorithm, modified algorithm of classic classification tree.The harvested tree has advantage of deleting redundant rules in trees, leading to a simplify and more efficient tree model.It was firstly used in drug discovery field, but it also performs well in other kinds of data, especially when the region of a class is disconnected. This package also improves the basic harvest classification tree algorithm by extending the field of data of algorithm to both continuous and categorical variables. To learn more about the harvest classification tree algorithm, you can go to http://www.stat.ubc.ca/Research/TechReports/techreports/220.pdf for more information.

S3 functions for management, analysis, interpolation and plotting of time series used in hydrology and related environmental sciences. In particular, this package is highly oriented to hydrological modelling tasks. The focus of this package has been put in providing a collection of tools useful for the daily work of hydrologists (although an effort was made to optimise each function as much as possible, functionality has had priority over speed). Bugs / comments / questions / collaboration of any kind are very welcomed, and in particular, datasets that can be included in this package for academic purposes.

This package provides a scalable implementation of the highly adaptive lasso algorithm, including routines for constructing sparse matrices of basis functions of the observed data, as well as a custom implementation of Lasso regression tailored to enhance efficiency when the matrix of predictors is composed exclusively of indicator functions. For ease of use and increased flexibility, the Lasso fitting routines invoke code from the glmnet package by default. The highly adaptive lasso was first formulated and described by MJ van der Laan (2017) <doi:10.1515/ijb-2015-0097>, with practical demonstrations of its performance given by Benkeser and van der Laan (2016) <doi:10.1109/DSAA.2016.93>. This implementation of the highly adaptive lasso algorithm was described by Hejazi, Coyle, and van der Laan (2020) <doi:10.21105/joss.02526>.

Two papers published in the early 2000's (Zeeberg, B.R., Feng, W., Wang, G. et al. (2003) <doi:10.1186/gb-2003-4-4-r28>) and (Zeeberg, B.R., Qin, H., Narashimhan, S., et al. (2005) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-6-168>) implement GoMiner and High Throughput GoMiner ('HTGM') to map lists of genes to the Gene Ontology (GO) <https://geneontology.org>. Until recently, these were hosted on a server at The National Cancer Institute (NCI). In order to continue providing these services to the bio-medical community, I have developed stand-alone versions. The current package HTGM builds upon my recent package GoMiner'. The output of GoMiner is a heatmap showing the relationship of a single list of genes and the significant categories into which they map. High Throughput GoMiner ('HTGM') integrates the results of the individual GoMiner analyses. The output of HTGM is a heatmap showing the relationship of the significant categories derived from each gene list. The heatmap has only 2 axes, so the identity of the genes are unfortunately "integrated out of the equation." Because the graphic for the heatmap is implemented in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) technology, it is relatively easy to hyperlink each picture element to the relevant list of genes. By clicking on the desired picture element, the user can recover the "lost" genes.
