Interaction between a genetic variant (e.g., a single nucleotide polymorphism) and an environmental variable (e.g., physical activity) can have a shared effect on multiple phenotypes (e.g., blood lipids). We implement a two-step method to test for an overall interaction effect on multiple phenotypes. In first step, the method tests for an overall marginal genetic association between the genetic variant and the multivariate phenotype. The genetic variants which show an evidence of marginal overall genetic effect in the first step are prioritized while testing for an overall gene-environment interaction effect in the second step.

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.

Read a table of fixed width formatted data of different types into a data.frame for each type.

Evaluate hypotheses concerning the distribution of multinomial proportions using bridge sampling. The bridge sampling routine is able to compute Bayes factors for hypotheses that entail inequality constraints, equality constraints, free parameters, and mixtures of all three. These hypotheses are tested against the encompassing hypothesis, that all parameters vary freely or against the null hypothesis that all category proportions are equal. For more information see Sarafoglou et al. (2020) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/bux7p>.

Use standard genomics file format (BED) and a table of orthologs to illustrate synteny conservation at the genome-wide scale. Significantly conserved linkage groups are identified as described in Simakov et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41559-020-1156-z> and displayed on an Oxford Grid (Edwards (1991) <doi:10.1111/j.1469-1809.1991.tb00394.x>) or a chord diagram as in Simakov et al.

Advanced methods for a valuable quantitative environmental risk assessment using Bayesian inference of survival Data with toxicokinetics toxicodynamics (TKTD) models. Among others, it facilitates Bayesian inference of the general unified threshold model of survival (GUTS). See models description in Jager et al. (2011) <doi:10.1021/es103092a> and implementation using Bayesian inference in Baudrot and Charles (2019) <doi:10.1038/s41598-019-47698-0>.

This package provides a toolbox to train a single sample classifier that uses in-sample feature relationships. The relationships are represented as feature1 < feature2 (e.g. gene1 < gene2). We provide two options to go with. First is based on switchBox package which uses Top-score pairs algorithm. Second is a novel implementation based on random forest algorithm. For simple problems we recommend to use one-vs-rest using TSP option due to its simplicity and for being easy to interpret. For complex problems RF performs better. Both lines filter the features first then combine the filtered features to make the list of all the possible rules (i.e. rule1: feature1 < feature2, rule2: feature1 < feature3, etc...). Then the list of rules will be filtered and the most important and informative rules will be kept. The informative rules will be assembled in an one-vs-rest model or in an RF model. We provide a detailed description with each function in this package to explain the filtration and training methodology in each line.

Multivariate Surrogate Synchrony ('mvSUSY') estimates the synchrony within datasets that contain more than two time series. mvSUSY was developed from Surrogate Synchrony ('SUSY') with respect to implementing surrogate controls, and extends synchrony estimation to multivariate data. mvSUSY works as described in Meier & Tschacher (2021).

Key functions from MASS are imported and re-exported to avoid masking conflicts. In addition we provide some additional functions mainly used to illustrate coding paradigms and techniques, such as Gramm-Schmidt orthogonalisation and generalised eigenvalue problems.

This package provides a function for the estimation of mixture of longitudinal factor analysis models using the iterative expectation-maximization algorithm (Ounajim, Slaoui, Louis, Billot, Frasca, Rigoard (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9804>) and several tools for visualizing and interpreting the models parameters.

If results from a meta-GWAS are used for validation in one of the cohorts that was included in the meta-analysis, this will yield biased (i.e. too optimistic) results. The validation cohort needs to be independent from the meta-Genome-Wide-Association-Study (meta-GWAS) results. MetaSubtract will subtract the results of the respective cohort from the meta-GWAS results analytically without having to redo the meta-GWAS analysis using the leave-one-out methodology. It can handle different meta-analyses methods and takes into account if single or double genomic control correction was applied to the original meta-analysis. It can also handle different meta-analysis methods. It can be used for whole GWAS, but also for a limited set of genetic markers. See for application: Nolte I.M. et al. (2017); <doi: 10.1038/ejhg.2017.50>.
