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 a tool for optimizing scales of effect when modeling ecological processes in space. Specifically, the scale parameter of a distance-weighted kernel distribution is identified for all environmental layers included in the model.

Implementation of Warnes & Raftery's MCGibbsit run-length and convergence diagnostic for a set of (not-necessarily independent) Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers. It combines the quantile estimate error-bounding approach of the Raftery and Lewis MCMC run length diagnostic `gibbsit` with the between verses within chain approach of the Gelman and Rubin MCMC convergence diagnostic.

Estimate and test inter-generational social mobility effect on an outcome with cross-sectional or longitudinal data.

Given independent and identically distributed observations X(1), ..., X(n) from a density f, provides five methods to perform a multiscale analysis about f as well as the necessary critical values. The first method, introduced in Duembgen and Walther (2008), provides simultaneous confidence statements for the existence and location of local increases (or decreases) of f, based on all intervals I(all) spanned by any two observations X(j), X(k). The second method approximates the latter approach by using only a subset of I(all) and is therefore computationally much more efficient, but asymptotically equivalent. Omitting the additive correction term Gamma in either method offers another two approaches which are more powerful on small scales and less powerful on large scales, however, not asymptotically minimax optimal anymore. Finally, the block procedure is a compromise between adding Gamma or not, having intermediate power properties. The latter is again asymptotically equivalent to the first and was introduced in Rufibach and Walther (2010).

The tools for MicroRNA Set Enrichment Analysis can identify risk pathways(or prior gene sets) regulated by microRNA set in the context of microRNA expression data. (1) This package constructs a correlation profile of microRNA and pathways by the hypergeometric statistic test. The gene sets of pathways derived from the three public databases (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes ('KEGG'); Reactome'; Biocarta') and the target gene sets of microRNA are provided by four databases('TarBaseV6.0'; mir2Disease'; miRecords'; miRTarBase';). (2) This package can quantify the change of correlation between microRNA for each pathway(or prior gene set) based on a microRNA expression data with cases and controls. (3) This package uses the weighted Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic to calculate an enrichment score (ES) of a microRNA set that co-regulate to a pathway , which reflects the degree to which a given pathway is associated with the specific phenotype. (4) This package can provide the visualization of the results.

This package provides functions for creating designs for mixture experiments, making ternary contour plots, and making mixture effect plots.

Simulate forest hydrology, forest function and dynamics over landscapes [De Caceres et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2015.06.012>]. Parallelization is allowed in several simulation functions and simulations may be conducted including spatial processes such as lateral water transfer and seed dispersal.

The IRLS (Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares) and GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) methods are applied to estimate mixed correlation coefficient matrix (Pearson, Polyseries, Polychoric), which can be estimated in pairs or simultaneously. For more information see Peng Zhang and Ben Liu (2024) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2023.2257251>; Ben Liu and Peng Zhang (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.06781>.

Analysis of annual average ocean water level time series from long (minimum length 80 years) individual records, providing improved estimates of trend (mean sea level) and associated real-time velocities and accelerations. Improved trend estimates are based on Singular Spectrum Analysis methods. Various gap-filling options are included to accommodate incomplete time series records. The package also contains a forecasting module to consider the implication of user defined quantum of sea level rise between the end of the available historical record and the year 2100. A wide range of screen and pdf plotting options are available in the package.

Difference scaling is a method for scaling perceived supra-threshold differences. The package contains functions that allow the user to design and run a difference scaling experiment, to fit the resulting data by maximum likelihood and test the internal validity of the estimated scale.

This package provides a set of easy-to-use functions for computing the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI).

Calculate dissolved gas concentrations from raw MIMS (Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometer) signal data. Use mimsy() on a formatted CSV file to return dissolved gas concentrations (mg and microMole) of N2, O2, Ar based on gas solubility at temperature, pressure, and salinity. See references Benson and Krause (1984), Garcia and Gordon (1992), Stull (1947), and Hamme and Emerson (2004) for more information. Easily save the output to a nicely-formatted multi-tab Excel workbook with mimsy.save(). Supports dual-temperature standard calibration for dual-bath MIMS setups.

Test for monotonicity in financial variables sorted by portfolios. It is conventional practice in empirical research to form portfolios of assets ranked by a certain sort variable. A t-test is then used to consider the mean return spread between the portfolios with the highest and lowest values of the sort variable. Yet comparing only the average returns on the top and bottom portfolios does not provide a sufficient way to test for a monotonic relation between expected returns and the sort variable. This package provides nonparametric tests for the full set of monotonic patterns by Patton, A. and Timmermann, A. (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2010.06.006> and compares the proposed results with extant alternatives such as t-tests, Bonferroni bounds, and multivariate inequality tests through empirical applications and simulations.

This package contains basic tools for performing multiple-output quantile regression and computing regression quantile contours by means of directional regression quantiles. In the location case, one can thus obtain halfspace depth contours in two to six dimensions. Hallin, M., Paindaveine, D. and Å iman, M.
