Constructing matrices for quick prototyping can be a nuisance, requiring the user to think about how to fill the matrix with values using the matrix() function. The %<-% operator solves that issue by allowing the user to construct matrices using code that shows the actual matrices.

The companion package provides all original data sets and functions that are used in the book "Model-Based Clustering and Classification for Data Science" by Charles Bouveyron, Gilles Celeux, T. Brendan Murphy and Adrian E. Raftery (2019, ISBN:9781108644181).

Fast approximate methods for mixed logistic regression in genome-wide analysis studies (GWAS). Two computationnally efficient methods are proposed for obtaining effect size estimates (beta) in Mixed Logistic Regression in GWAS: the Approximate Maximum Likelihood Estimate (AMLE), and the Offset method. The wald test obtained with AMLE is identical to the score test. Data can be genotype matrices in plink format, or dosage (VCF files). The methods are described in details in Milet et al (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.01.17.910109>.

Analyzes production and dispersal of seeds dispersed from trees and recovered in seed traps. Motivated by long-term inventory plots where seed collections are used to infer seed production by each individual plant.

Stability based methods for model order selection in clustering problems (Valentini, G (2007), <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btl600>). Using multiple perturbations of the data the stability of clustering solutions is assessed. Different perturbations may be used: resampling techniques, random projections and noise injection. Stability measures for the estimate of clustering solutions and statistical tests to assess their significance are provided.

This package implements state-of-the-art block bootstrap methods for extreme value statistics based on block maxima. Includes disjoint blocks, sliding blocks, relying on a circular transformation of blocks. Fast C++ backends (via Rcpp') ensure scalability for large time series.

Allows for fitting of maximum likelihood models using Markov chains on phylogenetic trees for analysis of discrete character data. Examples of such discrete character data include restriction sites, gene family presence/absence, intron presence/absence, and gene family size data. Hypothesis-driven user- specified substitution rate matrices can be estimated. Allows for biologically realistic models combining constrained substitution rate matrices, site rate variation, site partitioning, branch-specific rates, allowing for non-stationary prior root probabilities, correcting for sampling bias, etc. See Dang and Golding (2016) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv541> for more details.

Identifying important factors from a large number of potentially important factors of a highly nonlinear and computationally expensive black box model is a difficult problem. Xiao, Joseph, and Ray (2022) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2022.2141897> proposed Maximum One-Factor-at-a-Time (MOFAT) designs for doing this. A MOFAT design can be viewed as an improvement to the random one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) design proposed by Morris (1991) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1991.10484804>. The improvement is achieved by exploiting the connection between Morris screening designs and Monte Carlo-based Sobol designs, and optimizing the design using a space-filling criterion.

Diagnostics of list of codes based on concepts from the domains measurement and observation. This package works for data mapped to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model.

Grey model is commonly used in time series forecasting when statistical assumptions are violated with a limited number of data points. The minimum number of data points required to fit a grey model is four observations. This package fits Grey model of First order and One Variable, i.e., GM (1,1) for multivariate time series data and returns the parameters of the model, model evaluation criteria and h-step ahead forecast values for each of the time series variables. For method details see, Akay, D. and Atak, M. (2007) <DOI:10.1016/j.energy.2006.11.014>, Hsu, L. and Wang, C. (2007).<DOI:10.1016/j.techfore.2006.02.005>.

Extension of the mgcv package, providing visual tools for Generalized Additive Models that exploit the additive structure of such models, scale to large data sets and can be used in conjunction with a wide range of response distributions. The focus is providing visual methods for better understanding the model output and for aiding model checking and development beyond simple exponential family regression. The graphical framework is based on the layering system provided by ggplot2'.

This package provides a framework for analyzing broth microdilution assays in various 96-well plate designs, visualizing results and providing descriptive and (simple) inferential statistics (i.e. summary statistics and sign test). The functions are designed to add metadata to 8 x 12 tables of absorption values, creating a tidy data frame. Users can choose between clean-up procedures via function parameters (which covers most cases) or user prompts (in cases with complex experimental designs). Users can also choose between two validation methods, i.e. exclusion of absorbance values above a certain threshold or manual exclusion of samples. A function for visual inspection of samples with their absorption values over time for certain group combinations helps with the decision. In addition, the package includes functions to subtract the background absorption (usually at time T0) and to calculate the growth performance compared to a baseline. Samples can be visually inspected with their absorption values displayed across time points for specific group combinations. Core functions of this package (i.e. background subtraction, sample validation and statistics) were inspired by the manual calculations that were applied in Tewes and Muller (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-67600-7>.

Multi-criteria design of experiments algorithm that simultaneously optimizes up to six different criteria ('I', Id', D', Ds', A and As'). The algorithm finds the optimal Pareto front and, if requested, selects a possible symmetrical design on it. The symmetrical design is selected based on two techniques: minimum distance with the Utopia point or the TOPSIS approach.

Create dummy variables from categorical data. This package can convert categorical data (factor and ordered) into dummy variables and handle multiple columns simultaneously. This package enables to select whether a dummy variable for base group is included (for principal component analysis/factor analysis) or excluded (for regression analysis) by an option. makedummies function accepts data.frame', matrix', and tbl (tibble) class (by tibble package). matrix class data is automatically converted to data.frame class.

Incorporates a Bayesian monotonic single-index mixed-effect model with a multivariate skew-t likelihood, specifically designed to handle survey weights adjustments. Features include a simulation program and an associated Gibbs sampler for model estimation. The single-index function is constrained to be monotonic increasing, utilizing a customized Gaussian process prior for precise estimation. The model assumes random effects follow a canonical skew-t distribution, while residuals are represented by a multivariate Student-t distribution. Offers robust Bayesian adjustments to integrate survey weight information effectively.

The nonparametric two-stage Bayesian adaptive design is a novel phase II clinical trial design for finding the minimum effective dose (MinED). This design is motivated by the top priority and concern of clinicians when testing a new drug, which is to effectively treat patients and minimize the chance of exposing them to subtherapeutic or overly toxic doses. It is used to design single-agent trials.
