The Multivariate Asymptotic Non-parametric Test of Association (MANTA) enables non-parametric, asymptotic P-value computation for multivariate linear models. MANTA relies on the asymptotic null distribution of the PERMANOVA test statistic. P-values are computed using a highly accurate approximation of the corresponding cumulative distribution function.

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification involved in genomic stability, gene regulation, development and disease. DNA methylation occurs mainly through the addition of a methyl group to cytosines, for example to cytosines in a CpG dinucleotide context (CpG stands for a cytosine followed by a guanine). Tissue-specific methylation patterns lead to genomic regions with different characteristic methylation levels. E.g. in vertebrates CpG islands (regions with high CpG content) that are associated to promoter regions of expressed genes tend to be unmethylated. MethEvolSIM is a model-based simulation software for the generation and modification of cytosine methylation patterns along a given tree, which can be a genealogy of cells within an organism, a coalescent tree of DNA sequences sampled from a population, or a species tree. The simulations are based on an extension of the model of Grosser & Metzler (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12859-020-3438-5> and allows for changes of the methylation states at single cytosine positions as well as simultaneous changes of methylation frequencies in genomic structures like CpG islands.

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.

Plot the daily and cumulative number of downloads of your packages. It is designed to be slightly more convenient than the several similar programs. If you want to run this each morning, you do not need to keep typing in the names of your packages. Also, this combines the daily and cumulative counts in one run, you do not need to run separate programs to get both types of information.

Cancer cells accumulate DNA mutations as result of DNA damage and DNA repair processes. This computational framework is aimed at deciphering DNA mutational signatures operating in cancer. The framework includes modules that support raw data import and processing, mutational signature extraction, and results interpretation and visualization. The framework accepts widely used file formats storing information about DNA variants, such as Variant Call Format files. The framework performs Non-Negative Matrix Factorization to extract mutational signatures explaining the observed set of DNA mutations. Bootstrapping is performed as part of the analysis. The framework supports parallelization and is optimized for use on multi-core systems. The software was described by Fantini D et al (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-75062-0> and is based on a custom R-based implementation of the original MATLAB WTSI framework by Alexandrov LB et al (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.celrep.2012.12.008>.

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.

Spontaneous adverse event reports have a high potential for detecting adverse drug reactions. However, due to their dimension, the analysis of such databases requires statistical methods. We propose to use a logistic regression whose sparsity is viewed as a model selection challenge. Since the model space is huge, a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm carries out the model selection by maximizing the BIC criterion.

Development, simulation testing, and implementation of management procedures for fisheries (see Carruthers & Hordyk (2018) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13081>).

Simulation results detailed in Esarey and Menger (2019) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2017.42> demonstrate that cluster adjusted t statistics (CATs) are an effective method for correcting standard errors in scenarios with a small number of clusters. The mmiCATs package offers a suite of tools for working with CATs. The mmiCATs() function initiates a shiny web application, facilitating the analysis of data utilizing CATs, as implemented in the cluster.im.glm() function from the clusterSEs package. Additionally, the pwr_func_lmer() function is designed to simplify the process of conducting simulations to compare mixed effects models with CATs models. For educational purposes, the CloseCATs() function launches a shiny application card game, aimed at enhancing users understanding of the conditions under which CATs should be preferred over random intercept models.

Automation tool to run R scripts if needed, based on last modified time. It comes with no package dependencies, organizational overhead, or structural requirements. In short: run an R script if underlying files have changed, otherwise do nothing.

This package provides tools for analysing multivariate time series with wavelets. This includes: simulation of a multivariate locally stationary wavelet (mvLSW) process from a multivariate evolutionary wavelet spectrum (mvEWS); estimation of the mvEWS, local coherence and local partial coherence. See Park, Eckley and Ombao (2014) <doi:10.1109/TSP.2014.2343937> for details.

This package provides a flexible general-purpose toolbox for implementing Rescorla-Wagner models in multi-armed bandit tasks. As the successor and functional extension of the binaryRL package, multiRL modularizes the Markov Decision Process (MDP) into six core components. This framework enables users to construct custom models via intuitive if-else syntax and define latent learning rules for agents. For parameter estimation, it provides both likelihood-based inference (MLE and MAP) and simulation-based inference (ABC and RNN), with full support for parallel processing across subjects. The workflow is highly standardized, featuring four main functions that strictly follow the four-step protocol (and ten rules) proposed by Wilson & Collins (2019) <doi:10.7554/eLife.49547>. Beyond the three built-in models (TD, RSTD, and Utility), users can easily derive new variants by declaring which variables are treated as free parameters.
