Signal Processing

R implementation of the 'Octave' package 'signal', containing a variety of signal processing tools, such as signal generation and measurement, correlation and convolution, filtering, filter design, filter analysis and conversion, power spectrum analysis, system identification, decimation and sample rate change, and windowing.

Classes for Relational Data

Tools to create and modify network objects. The network class can represent a range of relational data types, and supports arbitrary vertex/edge/graph attributes.

Analyzing Data with Cellwise Outliers

Tools for detecting cellwise outliers and robust methods to analyze data which may contain them. Contains the implementation of the algorithms described in Rousseeuw and Van den Bossche (2018) (open access) Hubert et al. (2019) (open access), Raymaekers and Rousseeuw (2021) (open access), Raymaekers and Rousseeuw (2021) (open access), Raymaekers and Rousseeuw (2021) (open access), Raymaekers and Rousseeuw (2022) (open access) Rousseeuw (2022) (open access). Examples can be found in the vignettes: "DDC_examples", "MacroPCA_examples", "wrap_examples", "transfo_examples", "DI_examples", "cellMCD_examples" , "Correspondence_analysis_examples", and "cellwise_weights_examples".

Read Data Stored by 'Minitab', 'S', 'SAS', 'SPSS', 'Stata', 'Systat', 'Weka', 'dBase', ...

Reading and writing data stored by some versions of 'Epi Info', 'Minitab', 'S', 'SAS', 'SPSS', 'Stata', 'Systat', 'Weka', and for reading and writing some 'dBase' files.

Network Meta-Analysis Using Bayesian Methods

Network meta-analyses (mixed treatment comparisons) in the Bayesian framework using JAGS. Includes methods to assess heterogeneity and inconsistency, and a number of standard visualizations. van Valkenhoef et al. (2012) ; van Valkenhoef et al. (2015) .

Easily Work with 'Bootstrap' Icons

Easily use 'Bootstrap' icons inside 'Shiny' apps and 'R Markdown' documents. More generally, icons can be inserted in any 'htmltools' document through inline 'SVG'.

Derivation of Regression-Based Normative Data

Normative data are often used to estimate the relative position of a raw test score in the population. This package allows for deriving regression-based normative data. It includes functions that enable the fitting of regression models for the mean and residual (or variance) structures, test the model assumptions, derive the normative data in the form of normative tables or automatic scoring sheets, and estimate confidence intervals for the norms. This package accompanies the book Van der Elst, W. (2024). Regression-based normative data for psychological assessment. A hands-on approach using R. Springer Nature.

Functions for Optimal Matching

Distance based bipartite matching using minimum cost flow, oriented to matching of treatment and control groups in observational studies ('Hansen' and 'Klopfer' 2006 ). Routines are provided to generate distances from generalised linear models (propensity score matching), formulas giving variables on which to limit matched distances, stratified or exact matching directives, or calipers, alone or in combination.

The R Package Ada for Stochastic Boosting

Performs discrete, real, and gentle boost under both exponential and logistic loss on a given data set. The package ada provides a straightforward, well-documented, and broad boosting routine for classification, ideally suited for small to moderate-sized data sets.

R Interface to 'Keras'

Interface to 'Keras' < https://keras.io>, a high-level neural networks API. 'Keras' was developed with a focus on enabling fast experimentation, supports both convolution based networks and recurrent networks (as well as combinations of the two), and runs seamlessly on both CPU and GPU devices.
