Post-Processing of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulations for Chronological Modelling

Statistical analysis of archaeological dates and groups of dates. This package allows to post-process Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations from 'ChronoModel' < https://chronomodel.com/>, 'Oxcal' < https://c14.arch.ox.ac.uk/oxcal.html> or 'BCal' < https://bcal.shef.ac.uk/>. It provides functions for the study of rhythms of the long term from the posterior distribution of a series of dates (tempo and activity plot). It also allows the estimation and visualization of time ranges from the posterior distribution of groups of dates (e.g. duration, transition and hiatus between successive phases) as described in Philippe and Vibet (2020) .

'REPPlab' via a Shiny Application

Performs exploratory projection pursuit via 'REPPlab' (Daniel Fischer, Alain Berro, Klaus Nordhausen & Anne Ruiz-Gazen (2019) ) using a Shiny app.

Time Series Forecasting using ARIMA-ANN Hybrid Model

Testing, Implementation, and Forecasting of the ARIMA-ANN hybrid model. The ARIMA-ANN hybrid model combines the distinct strengths of the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for time series forecasting.For method details see Zhang, GP (2003) .

Generalized Spline Mixed Effect Models for Longitudinal Breath Data

Automated analysis and modeling of longitudinal 'omics' data (e.g. breath 'metabolomics') using generalized spline mixed effect models. Including automated filtering of noise parameters and determination of breakpoints.

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.

Stratified-Petersen Analysis System

The Stratified-Petersen Analysis System (SPAS) is designed to estimate abundance in two-sample capture-recapture experiments where the capture and recaptures are stratified. This is a generalization of the simple Lincoln-Petersen estimator. Strata may be defined in time or in space or both, and the s strata in which marking takes place may differ from the t strata in which recoveries take place. When s=t, SPAS reduces to the method described by Darroch (1961) . When s. Schwarz and Taylor (1998) describe the use of SPAS in estimating return of salmon stratified by time and geography. A related package, BTSPAS, deals with temporal stratification where a spline is used to model the distribution of the population over time as it passes the second capture location. This is the R-version of the (now obsolete) standalone Windows program of the same name.

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.

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).
