Classification and Regression Tests

Provides wrapper functions for running classification and regression tests using different machine learning techniques, such as Random Forests and decision trees. The package provides standardized methods for preparing data to suit the algorithm's needs, training a model, making predictions, and evaluating results. Also, some functions are provided to run multiple instances of a test.

Minimization Methods for Ill-Conditioned Problems

Implementation of methods for minimizing ill-conditioned problems. Currently only includes regularized (quasi-)newton optimization (Kanzow and Steck et al. (2023), ).

Gene Cluster Visualizations

Provides tools for plotting gene clusters and transcripts by importing data from GenBank, FASTA, and GFF files. It performs BLASTP and MUMmer alignments [Altschul et al. (1990) ; Delcher et al. (1999) ] and displays results on gene arrow maps. Extensive customization options are available, including legends, labels, annotations, scales, colors, tooltips, and more.

'shiny' Cron Expression Input Widget

A widget for 'shiny' apps to handle schedule expression input, using the 'cron-expression-input' JavaScript component. Note that this does not edit the 'crontab' file, it is just an input element for the schedules. See < https://github.com/DatalabFabriek/shinycroneditor/blob/main/inst/examples/shiny-app.R> for an example implementation.

Predictive Power Score

The Predictive Power Score (PPS) is an asymmetric, data-type-agnostic score that can detect linear or non-linear relationships between two variables. The score ranges from 0 (no predictive power) to 1 (perfect predictive power). PPS can be useful for data exploration purposes, in the same way correlation analysis is. For more information on PPS, see < https://github.com/paulvanderlaken/ppsr>.

Relative Distribution Methods

Tools for the comparison of distributions. This includes nonparametric estimation of the relative distribution PDF and CDF and numerical summaries as described in "Relative Distribution Methods in the Social Sciences" by Mark S. Handcock and Martina Morris, Springer-Verlag, 1999, Springer-Verlag, ISBN 0387987789.

Download and Tidy Data from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority

Download the latest data from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority < https://www.apra.gov.au/> and import it into R as a tidy data frame.

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.

Multiple Imputation of Covariates by Substantive Model Compatible Fully Conditional Specification

Implements multiple imputation of missing covariates by Substantive Model Compatible Fully Conditional Specification. This is a modification of the popular FCS/chained equations multiple imputation approach, and allows imputation of missing covariate values from models which are compatible with the user specified substantive model.

An R Package for Facilitating Large-Scale Latent Variable Analyses in Mplus

Leverages the R language to automate latent variable model estimation and interpretation using 'Mplus', a powerful latent variable modeling program developed by Muthen and Muthen (< https://www.statmodel.com>). Specifically, this package provides routines for creating related groups of models, running batches of models, and extracting and tabulating model parameters and fit statistics.
