This package provides a set of tools for likelihood-based estimation, model selection and testing of two- and three-range shift and migration models for animal movement data as described in Gurarie et al. (2017) <doi: 10.1111/1365-2656.12674>. Provided movement data (X, Y and Time), including irregularly sampled data, functions estimate the time, duration and location of one or two range shifts, as well as the ranging area and auto-correlation structure of the movment. Tests assess, for example, whether the shift was "significant", and whether a two-shift migration was a true return migration.

Supports visual interpretation of hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs). HCEs are complex constructs used as primary endpoints in clinical trials, combining outcomes of different types into ordinal endpoints, in which each patient contributes the most clinically important event (one and only one) to the analysis. See Karpefors M et al. (2022) <doi:10.1177/17407745221134949>.

Based on the work of Curi, Converse, Hajewski, and Oliveira (2019) <doi:10.1109/IJCNN.2019.8852333>. This package provides easy-to-use functions which create a variational autoencoder (VAE) to be used for parameter estimation in Item Response Theory (IRT) - namely the Multidimensional Logistic 2-Parameter (ML2P) model. To use a neural network as such, nontrivial modifications to the architecture must be made, such as restricting the nonzero weights in the decoder according to some binary matrix Q. The functions in this package allow for straight-forward construction, training, and evaluation so that minimal knowledge of tensorflow or keras is required.

Convert Markdown ('.md') or R Markdown ('.Rmd') texts, R scripts, directory structures, and other hierarchical structured documents into mind map widgets or Freemind codes or Mermaid mind map codes, and vice versa. Freemind mind map ('.mm') files can be opened by or imported to common mind map software such as Freemind (<https://freemind.sourceforge.io/wiki/index.php/Main_Page>). Mermaid mind map codes (<https://mermaid.js.org/>) can be directly embedded in documents.

Describes spatial patterns of categorical raster data for any defined regular and irregular areas. Patterns are described quantitatively using built-in signatures based on co-occurrence matrices but also allows for any user-defined functions. It enables spatial analysis such as search, change detection, and clustering to be performed on spatial patterns (Nowosad (2021) <doi:10.1007/s10980-020-01135-0>).

This package provides functions to perform all steps of genome-wide association meta-analysis for studying Genotype x Environment interactions, from collecting the data to the manhattan plot. The procedure accounts for the potential correlation between studies. In addition to the Fixed and Random models, one can investigate the relationship between QTL effects and some qualitative or quantitative covariate via the test of contrast and the meta-regression, respectively. The methodology is available from: (De Walsche, A., et al. (2025) \doi10.1371/journal.pgen.1011553).

Statistical framework for comparing sets of trees using hypothesis testing methods. Designed for transmission trees, phylogenetic trees, and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), the package implements chi-squared tests to compare edge frequencies between sets and PERMANOVA to analyse topological dissimilarities with customisable distance metrics, following Anderson (2001) <doi:10.1111/j.1442-9993.2001.01070.pp.x>.

Characterization of a mid-summer drought (MSD) with precipitation based statistics. The MSD is a phenomenon of decreased rainfall during a typical rainy season. It is a feature of rainfall in much of Central America and is also found in other locations, typically those with a Mediterranean climate. Details on the metrics are in Maurer et al. (2022) <doi:10.5194/hess-26-1425-2022>.

This package provides a supervised learning algorithm inputs a train set, and outputs a prediction function, which can be used on a test set. If each data point belongs to a subset (such as geographic region, year, etc), then how do we know if subsets are similar enough so that we can get accurate predictions on one subset, after training on Other subsets? And how do we know if training on All subsets would improve prediction accuracy, relative to training on the Same subset? SOAK, Same/Other/All K-fold cross-validation, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2410.08643> can be used to answer these questions, by fixing a test subset, training models on Same/Other/All subsets, and then comparing test error rates (Same versus Other and Same versus All). Also provides code for estimating how many train samples are required to get accurate predictions on a test set.

This package provides a set of functions for some multivariate analyses utilizing a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach through the OpenMx package. These analyses include canonical correlation analysis (CANCORR), redundancy analysis (RDA), and multivariate principal component regression (MPCR). It implements procedures discussed in Gu and Cheung (2023) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12301>, Gu, Yung, and Cheung (2019) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2018.1512847>, and Gu et al. (2023) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2022.2141675>.

Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients are commonly used to quantify the strength of bivariate associations of genomic variables. For example, correlations of gene-level DNA copy number and gene expression measurements may be used to assess the impact of DNA copy number changes on gene expression in tumor tissue. MVisAGe enables users to quickly compute and visualize the correlations in order to assess the effect of regional genomic events such as changes in DNA copy number or DNA methylation level. Please see Walter V, Du Y, Danilova L, Hayward MC, Hayes DN, 2018. Cancer Research <doi:10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-17-3464>.

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.

This package provides methods to analyze micro-randomized trials (MRTs) with binary treatment options. Supports four types of analyses: (1) proximal causal excursion effects, including weighted and centered least squares (WCLS) for continuous proximal outcomes by Boruvka et al. (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1305274> and the estimator for marginal excursion effect (EMEE) for binary proximal outcomes by Qian et al. (2021) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa070>; (2) distal causal excursion effects (DCEE) for continuous distal outcomes using a two-stage estimator by Qian (2025) <doi:10.1093/biomtc/ujaf134>; (3) mediated causal excursion effects (MCEE) for continuous distal outcomes, estimating natural direct and indirect excursion effects in the presence of time-varying mediators by Qian (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2506.20027>; and (4) standardized proximal effect size estimation for continuous proximal outcomes, generalizing the approach in Luers et al. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11121-017-0862-5> to allow adjustment for baseline and time-varying covariates for improved efficiency.

Uses multiple AUCs to select a combination of predictors when the outcome has multiple (ordered) levels and the focus is discriminating one particular level from the others. This method is most naturally applied to settings where the outcome has three levels. (Meisner, A, Parikh, CR, and Kerr, KF (2017) <http://biostats.bepress.com/uwbiostat/paper423/>.).

Machine coded genetic algorithm (MCGA) is a fast tool for real-valued optimization problems. It uses the byte representation of variables rather than real-values. It performs the classical crossover operations (uniform) on these byte representations. Mutation operator is also similar to classical mutation operator, which is to say, it changes a randomly selected byte value of a chromosome by +1 or -1 with probability 1/2. In MCGAs there is no need for encoding-decoding process and the classical operators are directly applicable on real-values. It is fast and can handle a wide range of a search space with high precision. Using a 256-unary alphabet is the main disadvantage of this algorithm but a moderate size population is convenient for many problems. Package also includes multi_mcga function for multi objective optimization problems. This function sorts the chromosomes using their ranks calculated from the non-dominated sorting algorithm.
