Fitting Semi-Parametric log-Symmetric Regression Models

Set of tools to fit a semi-parametric regression model suitable for analysis of data sets in which the response variable is continuous, strictly positive, asymmetric and possibly, censored. Under this setup, both the median and the skewness of the response variable distribution are explicitly modeled by using semi-parametric functions, whose non-parametric components may be approximated by natural cubic splines or P-splines. Supported distributions for the model error include log-normal, log-Student-t, log-power-exponential, log-hyperbolic, log-contaminated-normal, log-slash, Birnbaum-Saunders and Birnbaum-Saunders-t distributions.

Various R Programming Tools

Functions to assist in R programming, including: - assist in developing, updating, and maintaining R and R packages ('ask', 'checkRVersion', 'getDependencies', 'keywords', 'scat'), - calculate the logit and inverse logit transformations ('logit', 'inv.logit'), - test if a value is missing, empty or contains only NA and NULL values ('invalid'), - manipulate R's .Last function ('addLast'), - define macros ('defmacro'), - detect odd and even integers ('odd', 'even'), - convert strings containing non-ASCII characters (like single quotes) to plain ASCII ('ASCIIfy'), - perform a binary search ('binsearch'), - sort strings containing both numeric and character components ('mixedsort'), - create a factor variable from the quantiles of a continuous variable ('quantcut'), - enumerate permutations and combinations ('combinations', 'permutation'), - calculate and convert between fold-change and log-ratio ('foldchange', 'logratio2foldchange', 'foldchange2logratio'), - calculate probabilities and generate random numbers from Dirichlet distributions ('rdirichlet', 'ddirichlet'), - apply a function over adjacent subsets of a vector ('running'), - modify the TCP_NODELAY ('de-Nagle') flag for socket objects, - efficient 'rbind' of data frames, even if the column names don't match ('smartbind'), - generate significance stars from p-values ('stars.pval'), - convert characters to/from ASCII codes ('asc', 'chr'), - convert character vector to ASCII representation ('ASCIIfy'), - apply title capitalization rules to a character vector ('capwords').

Fits Poisson-Sum-of-Gammas GLMs, Tweedie GLMs, and Delta Log-Normal Models

Fits models to catch and effort data. Single-species models are 1) delta log-normal, 2) Tweedie, or 3) Poisson-gamma (G)LMs.

Log Execution of Scripts

Logging of scripts suitable for clinical trials using 'Quarto' to create nice human readable logs. 'whirl' enables execution of scripts in batch, while simultaneously creating logs for the execution of each script, and providing an overview summary log of the entire batch execution.

Add Logging to Functions

Decorate functions to make them return enhanced output. The enhanced output consists in an object of type 'chronicle' containing the result of the function applied to its arguments, as well as a log detailing when the function was run, what were its inputs, what were the errors (if the function failed to run) and other useful information. Tools to handle decorated functions are included, such as a forward pipe operator that makes chaining decorated functions possible.

Bio-Logging Toolbox

An R-shiny application to visualize bio-loggers time series at a microsecond precision as Acceleration, Temperature, Pressure, Light intensity. It is possible to link behavioral labels extracted from 'BORIS' software < http://www.boris.unito.it> or manually written in a csv file.

Error Tracking and Logging

Reports errors and messages to Rollbar, the error tracking platform < https://rollbar.com>.

Record Events and Issues

Logger to keep track of informational events and errors useful for debugging.

Lightweight Logging for R Scripts

Provides flexible but lightweight logging facilities for R scripts. Supports priority levels for logs and messages, flagging messages, capturing script output, switching logs, and logging to files or connections.

Modern Logging for the R Ecosystem

An effortless 'ndjson' (newline-delimited 'JSON') logger, with two primary log-writing interfaces. It provides a set of wrappings for base R's message(), warning(), and stop() functions that maintain identical functionality, but also log the handler message to an 'ndjson' log file. 'loggit' also exports its internal 'loggit()' function for powerful and configurable custom logging. No change in existing code is necessary to use this package, and should only require additions to fully leverage the power of the logging system. 'loggit' also provides a log reader for reading an 'ndjson' log file into a data frame, log rotation, and live echo of the 'ndjson' log messages to terminal 'stdout' for log capture by external systems (like containers). 'loggit' is ideal for Shiny apps, data pipelines, modeling work flows, and more. Please see the vignettes for detailed example use cases.
