This package provides a complete and dedicated analytical toolbox for quality control and diagnosis based on subject-related measurements of micro-RNA (miRNA) expressions. The package consists of a set of functions that allow to train, optimize and use a Bayesian classifier that relies on multiplets of measured miRNA expressions. The package also implements the quality control tools required to preprocess input datasets. In addition, the package provides a function to carry out a statistical analysis of miRNA expressions, which can give insights to improve the classifier's performance. The method implemented in the package was first introduced in L. Ricci, V. Del Vescovo, C. Cantaloni, M. Grasso, M. Barbareschi and M. A. Denti, "Statistical analysis of a Bayesian classifier based on the expression of miRNAs", BMC Bioinformatics 16:287, 2015 <doi:10.1186/s12859-015-0715-9>. The package is thoroughly described in M. Castelluzzo, A. Perinelli, S. Detassis, M. A. Denti and L. Ricci, "MiRNA-QC-and-Diagnosis: An R package for diagnosis based on MiRNA expression", SoftwareX 12:100569, 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2020.100569>.

Estimating GARCH-MIDAS (MIxed-DAta-Sampling) models (Engle, Ghysels, Sohn, 2013, <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00300>) and related statistical inference, accompanying the paper "Two are better than one: Volatility forecasting using multiplicative component GARCH models" by Conrad and Kleen (2020, <doi:10.1002/jae.2742>). The GARCH-MIDAS model decomposes the conditional variance of (daily) stock returns into a short- and long-term component, where the latter may depend on an exogenous covariate sampled at a lower frequency.

This package provides functions for fitting various models to capture-recapture data including mixed-effects Cormack-Jolly-Seber(CJS) and multistate models and the multi-variate state model structure for survival estimation and POPAN structured Jolly-Seber models for abundance estimation.

This package provides methods and classes for adding m-activation ("multiplicative activation") layers to MLR or multivariate logistic regression models. M-activation layers created in this library detect and add input interaction (polynomial) effects into a predictive model. M-activation can detect high-order interactions -- a traditionally non-trivial challenge. Details concerning application, methodology, and relevant survey literature can be found in this library's vignette, "About.".

According to a phenomenon known as "the wisdom of the crowds," combining point estimates from multiple judges often provides a more accurate aggregate estimate than using a point estimate from a single judge. However, if the judges use shared information in their estimates, the simple average will over-emphasize this common component at the expense of the judgesâ private information. Asa Palley & Ville Satopää (2021) "Boosting the Wisdom of Crowds Within a Single Judgment Problem: Selective Averaging Based on Peer Predictions" <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=3504286> proposes a procedure for calculating a weighted average of the judgesâ individual estimates such that resulting aggregate estimate appropriately combines the judges collective information within a single estimation problem. The authors use both simulation and data from six experimental studies to illustrate that the weighting procedure outperforms existing averaging-like methods, such as the equally weighted average, trimmed average, and median. This aggregate estimate -- know as "the knowledge-weighted estimate" -- inputs a) judges estimates of a continuous outcome (E) and b) predictions of others average estimate of this outcome (P). In this R-package, the function knowledge_weighted_estimate(E,P) implements the knowledge-weighted estimate. Its use is illustrated with a simple stylized example and on real-world experimental data.

The aim of the package is two-fold: (i) To implement the MMD method for attribution of individuals to sources using the Hamming distance between multilocus genotypes. (ii) To select informative genetic markers based on information theory concepts (entropy, mutual information and redundancy). The package implements the functions introduced by Perez-Reche, F. J., Rotariu, O., Lopes, B. S., Forbes, K. J. and Strachan, N. J. C. Mining whole genome sequence data to efficiently attribute individuals to source populations. Scientific Reports 10, 12124 (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-68740-6>. See more details and examples in the README file.

Tests for block-diagonal structure in symmetric matrices (e.g. correlation matrices) under the null hypothesis of exchangeable off-diagonal elements. As described in Segal et al. (2019), these tests can be useful for construct validation either by themselves or as a complement to confirmatory factor analysis. Monte Carlo methods are used to approximate the permutation p-value with Hubert's Gamma (Hubert, 1976) and a t-statistic. This package also implements the chi-squared statistic described by Steiger (1980). Please see Segal, et al. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11336-018-9647-4> for more information.

Function ModEstM() is the only one of this package, it estimates the modes of an empirical univariate distribution. It relies on the stats::density() function, even for input control. Due to very good performance of the density estimation, computation time is not an issue. The multiple modes are handled using dplyr::group_by(). For conditions and rates of convergences, see Eddy (1980) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176345080>.

This package performs multi-omic differential network analysis by revealing differential interactions between molecular entities (genes, proteins, transcription factors, or other biomolecules) across the omic datasets provided. For each omic dataset, a differential network is constructed where links represent statistically significant differential interactions between entities. These networks are then integrated into a comprehensive visualization using distinct colors to distinguish interactions from different omic layers. This unified display allows interactive exploration of cross-omic patterns, such as differential interactions present at both transcript and protein levels. For each link, users can access differential statistical significance metrics (p values or adjusted p values, calculated via robust or traditional linear regression with interaction term) and differential regression plots. The methods implemented in this package are described in Sciacca et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btad192>.

Lightweight utilities for nucleic acid melting curve analysis are important in life sciences and diagnostics. This software can be used for the analysis and presentation of melting curve data from microbead-based assays (surface melting curve analysis) and reactions in solution (e.g., quantitative PCR (qPCR), real-time isothermal Amplification). Further information are described in detail in two publications in The R Journal [ <https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013-2/roediger-bohm-schimke.pdf>; <https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2015-1/RJ-2015-1.pdf>].

Multivariate Time Series (MTS) is a general package for analyzing multivariate linear time series and estimating multivariate volatility models. It also handles factor models, constrained factor models, asymptotic principal component analysis commonly used in finance and econometrics, and principal volatility component analysis. (a) For the multivariate linear time series analysis, the package performs model specification, estimation, model checking, and prediction for many widely used models, including vector AR models, vector MA models, vector ARMA models, seasonal vector ARMA models, VAR models with exogenous variables, multivariate regression models with time series errors, augmented VAR models, and Error-correction VAR models for co-integrated time series. For model specification, the package performs structural specification to overcome the difficulties of identifiability of VARMA models. The methods used for structural specification include Kronecker indices and Scalar Component Models. (b) For multivariate volatility modeling, the MTS package handles several commonly used models, including multivariate exponentially weighted moving-average volatility, Cholesky decomposition volatility models, dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models, copula-based volatility models, and low-dimensional BEKK models. The package also considers multiple tests for conditional heteroscedasticity, including rank-based statistics. (c) Finally, the MTS package also performs forecasting using diffusion index , transfer function analysis, Bayesian estimation of VAR models, and multivariate time series analysis with missing values.Users can also use the package to simulate VARMA models, to compute impulse response functions of a fitted VARMA model, and to calculate theoretical cross-covariance matrices of a given VARMA model.
