Post-Processing of the Markov Chain Simulated by ChronoModel or Oxcal

Provides a list of functions for the statistical analysis and the post-processing of the Markov Chains simulated by ChronoModel (see < http://www.chronomodel.fr> for more information). ChronoModel is a friendly software to construct a chronological model in a Bayesian framework. Its output is a sampled Markov chain from the posterior distribution of dates component the chronology. The functions can also be applied to the analyse of mcmc output generated by Oxcal software.

Convert 'tinytest' Output to JUnit XML

Unit testing is a solid component of automated CI/CD pipelines. 'tinytest' - a lightweight, zero-dependency alternative to 'testthat' was developed. To be able to integrate 'tinytests' results into common CI/CD systems the test results from tinytest need to be caputred and converted to JUnit XML format. 'tinytest2JUnit' enables this conversion while staying also lightweight and only have 'tinytest' as its dependency.

Assessing Pst Statistics

Calculating Pst values to assess differentiation among populations from a set of quantitative traits is the primary purpose of such a package. The bootstrap method provides confidence intervals and distribution histograms of Pst. Variations of Pst in function of the parameter c/h^2 are studied as well. Finally, the package proposes different transformations especially to eliminate any variation resulting from allometric growth (calculation of residuals from linear regressions, Reist standardizations or Aitchison transformation).

Outlier Detection Using Invariant Coordinate Selection

Multivariate outlier detection is performed using invariant coordinates where the package offers different methods to choose the appropriate components. ICS is a general multivariate technique with many applications in multivariate analysis. ICSOutlier offers a selection of functions for automated detection of outliers in the data based on a fitted ICS object or by specifying the dataset and the scatters of interest. The current implementation targets data sets with only a small percentage of outliers.

Experiment-Selector CV-TMLE for Integration of Observational and RCT Data

The experiment selector cross-validated targeted maximum likelihood estimator (ES-CVTMLE) aims to select the experiment that optimizes the bias-variance tradeoff for estimating a causal average treatment effect (ATE) where different experiments may include a randomized controlled trial (RCT) alone or an RCT combined with real-world data. Using cross-validation, the ES-CVTMLE separates the selection of the optimal experiment from the estimation of the ATE for the chosen experiment. The estimated bias term in the selector is a function of the difference in conditional mean outcome under control for the RCT compared to the combined experiment. In order to help include truly unbiased external data in the analysis, the estimated average treatment effect on a negative control outcome may be added to the bias term in the selector. For more details about this method, please see Dang et al. (2022) .

Naive Bayes Transmission Analysis

Estimates the relative transmission probabilities between cases in an infectious disease outbreak or cluster using naive Bayes. Included are various functions to use these probabilities to estimate transmission parameters such as the generation/serial interval and reproductive number as well as finding the contribution of covariates to the probabilities and visualizing results. The ideal use is for an infectious disease dataset with metadata on the majority of cases but more informative data such as contact tracing or pathogen whole genome sequencing on only a subset of cases. For a detailed description of the methods see Leavitt et al. (2020) .

Sustainable Transport Planning

Tools for transport planning with an emphasis on spatial transport data and non-motorized modes. The package was originally developed to support the 'Propensity to Cycle Tool', a publicly available strategic cycle network planning tool (Lovelace et al. 2017) , but has since been extended to support public transport routing and accessibility analysis (Moreno-Monroy et al. 2017) and routing with locally hosted routing engines such as 'OSRM' (Lowans et al. 2023) . The main functions are for creating and manipulating geographic "desire lines" from origin-destination (OD) data (building on the 'od' package); calculating routes on the transport network locally and via interfaces to routing services such as < https://cyclestreets.net/> (Desjardins et al. 2021) ; and calculating route segment attributes such as bearing. The package implements the 'travel flow aggregration' method described in Morgan and Lovelace (2020) and the 'OD jittering' method described in Lovelace et al. (2022) . Further information on the package's aim and scope can be found in the vignettes and in a paper in the R Journal (Lovelace and Ellison 2018) , and in a paper outlining the landscape of open source software for geographic methods in transport planning (Lovelace, 2021) .

Small Helpers and Tricks for Epidemics Analysis

A collection of small functions useful for epidemics analysis and infectious disease modelling. This includes computation of basic reproduction numbers from growth rates, generation of hashed labels to anonymize data, and fitting discretized Gamma distributions.

A Statistical Methodology to Select Covariates in High-Dimensional Data under Dependence

Two steps variable selection procedure in a context of high-dimensional dependent data but few observations. First step is dedicated to eliminate dependence between variables (clustering of variables, followed by factor analysis inside each cluster). Second step is a variable selection using by aggregation of adapted methods. Bastien B., Chakir H., Gegout-Petit A., Muller-Gueudin A., Shi Y.

Chronological Bayesian Models Integrating Optically Stimulated Luminescence and Radiocarbon Age Dating

Bayesian analysis of luminescence data and C-14 age estimates. Bayesian models are based on the following publications: Combes, B. & Philippe, A. (2017) and Combes et al. (2015) . This includes, amongst others, data import, export, application of age models and palaeodose model.
