Semi-parametric approach for sparse canonical correlation analysis which can handle mixed data types: continuous, binary and truncated continuous. Bridge functions are provided to connect Kendall's tau to latent correlation under the Gaussian copula model. The methods are described in Yoon, Carroll and Gaynanova (2020) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa007> and Yoon, Mueller and Gaynanova (2021) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2021.1882468>.

Estimation, inference and forecasting using the Bayesian approach for multivariate threshold autoregressive (TAR) models in which the distribution used to describe the noise process belongs to the class of Gaussian variance mixtures.

Sentiment analysis is a popular technique in text mining that attempts to determine the emotional state of some text. We provide a new implementation of a common method for computing sentiment, whereby words are scored as positive or negative according to a dictionary lookup. Then the sum of those scores is returned for the document. We use the Hu and Liu sentiment dictionary ('Hu and Liu', 2004) <doi:10.1145/1014052.1014073> for determining sentiment. The scoring function is vectorized by document, and scores for multiple documents are computed in parallel via OpenMP'.

An implementation of the mixed neighbourhood selection (MNS) algorithm. The MNS algorithm can be used to estimate multiple related precision matrices. In particular, the motivation behind this work was driven by the need to understand functional connectivity networks across multiple subjects. This package also contains an implementation of a novel algorithm through which to simulate multiple related precision matrices which exhibit properties frequently reported in neuroimaging analysis.

This package provides a series of functions to implement association of covariance for detecting differential co-expression (ACDC), a novel approach for detection of differential co-expression that simultaneously accommodates multiple phenotypes or exposures with binary, ordinal, or continuous data types. Users can use the default method which identifies modules by Partition or may supply their own modules. Also included are functions to choose an information loss criterion (ILC) for Partition using OmicS-data-based Complex trait Analysis (OSCA) and Genome-wide Complex trait Analysis (GCTA). The manuscript describing these methods is as follows: Queen K, Nguyen MN, Gilliland F, Chun S, Raby BA, Millstein J. "ACDC: a general approach for detecting phenotype or exposure associated co-expression" (2023) <doi:10.3389/fmed.2023.1118824>.

An R port of the margins command from Stata', which can be used to calculate marginal (or partial) effects from model objects.

Statistical or cognitive modeling usually requires a number of more or less arbitrary choices creating one specific path through a garden of forking paths'. The multiverse approach (Steegen, Tuerlinckx, Gelman, & Vanpaemel, 2016, <doi:10.1177/1745691616658637>) offers a principled alternative in which results for all possible combinations of reasonable modeling choices are reported. MPTmultiverse performs a multiverse analysis for multinomial processing tree (MPT, Riefer & Batchelder, 1988, <doi:10.1037/0033-295X.95.3.318>) models combining maximum-likelihood/frequentist and Bayesian estimation approaches with different levels of pooling (i.e., data aggregation) as described in Singmann et al. (2024, <doi:10.1037/bul0000434>). For the frequentist approaches, no pooling (with and without parametric or nonparametric bootstrap) and complete pooling are implemented using MPTinR <https://cran.r-project.org/package=MPTinR>. For the Bayesian approaches, no pooling, complete pooling, and three different variants of partial pooling are implemented using TreeBUGS <https://cran.r-project.org/package=TreeBUGS>. The main function is fit_mpt() which performs the multiverse analysis in one call.

We develop Multi-source Graph Synthesis (MUGS), an algorithm designed to create embeddings for pediatric Electronic Health Record (EHR) codes by leveraging graphical information from three distinct sources: (1) pediatric EHR data, (2) EHR data from the general patient population, and (3) existing hierarchical medical ontology knowledge shared across different patient populations. See Li et al. (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41746-024-01320-4> for details.

This package provides tools for training, selecting, and evaluating maximum entropy (and standard logistic regression) distribution models. This package provides tools for user-controlled transformation of explanatory variables, selection of variables by nested model comparison, and flexible model evaluation and projection. It follows principles based on the maximum- likelihood interpretation of maximum entropy modeling, and uses infinitely- weighted logistic regression for model fitting. The package is described in Vollering et al. (2019; <doi:10.1002/ece3.5654>).

In many agricultural, engineering, industrial, post-harvest and processing experiments, the number of factor level changes and hence the total number of changes is of serious concern as such experiments may consists of hard-to-change factors where it is physically very difficult to change levels of some factors or sometime such experiments may require normalization time to obtain adequate operating condition. For this reason, run orders that offer the minimum number of factor level changes and at the same time minimize the possible influence of systematic trend effects on the experimentation have been sought. Factorial designs with minimum changes in factors level may be preferred for such situations as these minimally changed run orders will minimize the cost of the experiments. For method details see, Bhowmik, A.,Varghese, E., Jaggi, S. and Varghese, C. (2017)<doi:10.1080/03610926.2016.1152490>.This package used to construct all possible minimally changed factorial run orders for different experimental set ups along with different statistical criteria to measure the performance of these designs. It consist of the function minFactDesign().

Measure of the Effect ('MOTE') is an effect size calculator, including a wide variety of effect sizes in the mean differences family (all versions of d) and the variance overlap family (eta, omega, epsilon, r). MOTE provides non-central confidence intervals for each effect size, relevant test statistics, and output for reporting in APA Style (American Psychological Association, 2010, <ISBN:1433805618>) with LaTeX'. In research, an over-reliance on p-values may conceal the fact that a study is under-powered (Halsey, Curran-Everett, Vowler, & Drummond, 2015 <doi:10.1038/nmeth.3288>). A test may be statistically significant, yet practically inconsequential (Fritz, Scherndl, & Kühberger, 2012 <doi:10.1177/0959354312436870>). Although the American Psychological Association has long advocated for the inclusion of effect sizes (Wilkinson & American Psychological Association Task Force on Statistical Inference, 1999 <doi:10.1037/0003-066X.54.8.594>), the vast majority of peer-reviewed, published academic studies stop short of reporting effect sizes and confidence intervals (Cumming, 2013, <doi:10.1177/0956797613504966>). MOTE simplifies the use and interpretation of effect sizes and confidence intervals.

This package provides a test of multivariate normality of an unknown sample that does not require estimation of the nuisance parameters, the mean and covariance matrix. Rather, a sequence of transformations removes these nuisance parameters and results in a set of sample matrices that are positive definite. These matrices are uniformly distributed on the space of positive definite matrices in the unit hyper-rectangle if and only if the original data is multivariate normal (Fairweather, 1973, Doctoral dissertation, University of Washington). The package performs a goodness of fit test of this hypothesis. In addition to the test, functions in the package give visualizations of the support region of positive definite matrices for bivariate samples.

Facilitate the description, transformation, exploration, and reproducibility of metabarcoding analyses. MiscMetabar is mainly built on top of the phyloseq', dada2 and targets R packages. It helps to build reproducible and robust bioinformatics pipelines in R. MiscMetabar makes ecological analysis of alpha and beta-diversity easier, more reproducible and more powerful by integrating a large number of tools. Important features are described in Taudière A. (2023) <doi:10.21105/joss.06038>.

This package implements a methodology for the design and analysis of dose-response studies that combines aspects of multiple comparison procedures and modeling approaches (Bretz, Pinheiro and Branson, 2005, Biometrics 61, 738-748, <doi: 10.1111/j.1541-0420.2005.00344.x>). The package provides tools for the analysis of dose finding trials as well as a variety of tools necessary to plan a trial to be conducted with the MCP-Mod methodology. Please note: The MCPMod package will not be further developed, all future development of the MCP-Mod methodology will be done in the DoseFinding R-package.

This package provides a novel framework to estimate mixed models via gradient boosting. The implemented functions are based on the mboost and lme4 packages, and the family range is therefore determined by lme4'. A correction mechanism for cluster-constant covariates is implemented, as well as estimation of the covariance of random effects. These methods are described in the accompanying publication; see <doi:10.1007/s11222-025-10612-y> for details.

Encodes several methods for performing Mendelian randomization analyses with summarized data. Similar to the MendelianRandomization package, but with fewer bells and whistles, and less frequent updates. As described in Yavorska (2017) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyx034> and Broadbent (2020) <doi:10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16374.2>.

Suite of interactive functions and helpers for selecting and editing geospatial data.

This package provides tools for motif analysis in multi-level networks. Multi-level networks combine multiple networks in one, e.g. social-ecological networks. Motifs are small configurations of nodes and edges (subgraphs) occurring in networks. motifr can visualize multi-level networks, count multi-level network motifs and compare motif occurrences to baseline models. It also identifies contributions of existing or potential edges to motifs to find critical or missing edges. The package is in many parts an R wrapper for the excellent SESMotifAnalyser Python package written by Tim Seppelt.

Selects bandwidth for the kernel density estimator with minimum distance method as proposed by Devroye and Lugosi (1996). The minimum distance method directly selects the optimal kernel density estimator from countably infinite kernel density estimators and indirectly selects the optimal bandwidth. This package selects the optimal bandwidth from finite kernel density estimators.
