Bayesian QTL Mapping Toolkit

QTL mapping toolkit for inbred crosses and recombinant inbred lines. Includes maximum likelihood and Bayesian tools.

Fuzzy Rank Tests and Confidence Intervals

Does fuzzy tests and confidence intervals (following Geyer and Meeden, Statistical Science, 2005, ) for sign test and Wilcoxon signed rank and rank sum tests.

Generalized Linear Mixed Models using Template Model Builder

Fit linear and generalized linear mixed models with various extensions, including zero-inflation. The models are fitted using maximum likelihood estimation via 'TMB' (Template Model Builder). Random effects are assumed to be Gaussian on the scale of the linear predictor and are integrated out using the Laplace approximation. Gradients are calculated using automatic differentiation.

Nonparametric Rotations for Sphere-Sphere Regression

Fits sphere-sphere regression models by estimating locally weighted rotations. Simulation of sphere-sphere data according to non-rigid rotation models. Provides methods for bias reduction applying iterative procedures within a Newton-Raphson learning scheme. Cross-validation is exploited to select smoothing parameters. See Marco Di Marzio, Agnese Panzera & Charles C. Taylor (2018) .

Simplify Connections to Database Sources

Connecting to databases requires boilerplate code to specify connection parameters and to set up sessions properly with the DBMS. This package provides a simple tool to fill two purposes: abstracting connection details, including secret credentials, out of your source code and managing configuration for frequently-used database connections in a persistent and flexible way, while minimizing requirements on the runtime environment.

'ViennaCL' C++ Header Files

'ViennaCL' is a free open-source linear algebra library for computations on many-core architectures (GPUs, MIC) and multi-core CPUs. The library is written in C++ and supports 'CUDA', 'OpenCL', and 'OpenMP' (including switches at runtime). I have placed these libraries in this package as a more efficient distribution system for CRAN. The idea is that you can write a package that depends on the 'ViennaCL' library and yet you do not need to distribute a copy of this code with your package.

Functions to Analyze Single System Data

Functions to visually and statistically analyze single system data.

Utilities from 'Seminar fuer Statistik' ETH Zurich

Useful utilities ['goodies'] from Seminar fuer Statistik ETH Zurich, some of which were ported from S-plus in the 1990s. For graphics, have pretty (Log-scale) axes eaxis(), an enhanced Tukey-Anscombe plot, combining histogram and boxplot, 2d-residual plots, a 'tachoPlot()', pretty arrows, etc. For robustness, have a robust F test and robust range(). For system support, notably on Linux, provides 'Sys.*()' functions with more access to system and CPU information. Finally, miscellaneous utilities such as simple efficient prime numbers, integer codes, Duplicated(), toLatex.numeric() and is.whole().

Unmatched Monotone Regression

Unmatched regression refers to the regression setting where covariates and predictors are collected separately/independently and so are not paired together, as in the usual regression setting. Balabdaoui, Doss, and Durot (2021) study the unmatched regression setting where the univariate regression function is known to be monotone. This package implements methods for computing the estimator developed in Balabdaoui, Doss, and Durot (2021). The main method is an active-set-trust-region-based method.

Downscaling Species Occupancy

Uses species occupancy at coarse grain sizes to predict species occupancy at fine grain sizes. Ten models are provided to fit and extrapolate the occupancy-area relationship, as well as methods for preparing atlas data for modelling. See Marsh et. al. (2018) .
