'Shiny' Application for Whole Genome Duplication Analysis

Provides a comprehensive 'Shiny' application for analyzing Whole Genome Duplication ('WGD') events. This package provides a user-friendly 'Shiny' web application for non-experienced researchers to prepare input data and execute command lines for several well-known 'WGD' analysis tools, including 'wgd', 'ksrates', 'i-ADHoRe', 'OrthoFinder', and 'Whale'. This package also provides the source code for experienced researchers to adjust and install the package to their own server. Key Features 1) Input Data Preparation This package allows users to conveniently upload and format their data, making it compatible with various 'WGD' analysis tools. 2) Command Line Generation This package automatically generates the necessary command lines for selected 'WGD' analysis tools, reducing manual errors and saving time. 3) Visualization This package offers interactive visualizations to explore and interpret 'WGD' results, facilitating in-depth 'WGD' analysis. 4) Comparative Genomics Users can study and compare 'WGD' events across different species, aiding in evolutionary and comparative genomics studies. 5) User-Friendly Interface This 'Shiny' web application provides an intuitive and accessible interface, making 'WGD' analysis accessible to researchers and 'bioinformaticians' of all levels.

Estimating Speakers of Texts

Estimates the authors or speakers of texts. Methods developed in Huang, Perry, and Spirling (2020) . The model is built on a Bayesian framework in which the distinctiveness of each speaker is defined by how different, on average, the speaker's terms are to everyone else in the corpus of texts. An optional cross-validation method is implemented to select the subset of terms that generate the most accurate speaker predictions. Once a set of terms is selected, the model can be estimated. Speaker distinctiveness and term influence can be recovered from parameters in the model using package functions. Once fitted, the model can be used to predict authorship of new texts.

Analyze Data from Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Trials

Provide various functions and tools to help fit models for estimating treatment effects in stepped wedge cluster randomized trials. Implements methods described in Kenny, Voldal, Xia, and Heagerty (2022) "Analysis of stepped wedge cluster randomized trials in the presence of a time-varying treatment effect", .

Computer Simulations of 'SNP' Data

Allows to simulate SNP data using genlight objects. For example, it is straight forward to simulate a simple drift scenario with exchange of individuals between two populations or create a new genlight object based on allele frequencies of an existing genlight object.

Estimating Speaker Style Distinctiveness

Estimates distinctiveness in speakers' (authors') style. Fits models that can be used for predicting speakers of new texts. Methods developed in Huang et al (2020) .

Multiples Comparisons Procedures

Performs the execution of the main procedures of multiple comparisons in the literature, Scott-Knott (1974) < http://www.jstor.org/stable/2529204>, Batista (2016) < http://repositorio.ufla.br/jspui/handle/1/11466>, including graphic representations and export to different extensions of its results. An additional part of the package is the presence of the performance evaluation of the tests (Type I error per experiment and the power). This will assist the user in making the decision for the chosen test.

Incorporate Expert Opinion with Parametric Survival Models

Enables users to incorporate expert opinion with parametric survival analysis using a Bayesian or frequentist approach. Expert Opinion can be provided on the survival probabilities at certain time-point(s) or for the difference in mean survival between two treatment arms. Please reference it's use as Cooney, P., White, A. (2023) .

Estimate Quantiles Curves

Non-parametric methods as local normal regression, polynomial local regression and penalized cubic B-splines regression are used to estimate quantiles curves. See Fan and Gijbels (1996) and Perperoglou et al.(2019) .

Deal with Check Outputs

Deal with packages 'check' outputs and reduce the risk of rejection by 'CRAN' by following policies.
