Confounder-Adjusted Survival Curves and Cumulative Incidence Functions

Estimate and plot confounder-adjusted survival curves using either 'Direct Adjustment', 'Direct Adjustment with Pseudo-Values', various forms of 'Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting', two forms of 'Augmented Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting', 'Empirical Likelihood Estimation' or 'Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation'. Also includes a significance test for the difference between two adjusted survival curves and the calculation of adjusted restricted mean survival times. Additionally enables the user to estimate and plot cause-specific confounder-adjusted cumulative incidence functions in the competing risks setting using the same methods (with some exceptions). For details, see Denz et. al (2023) .

Calculate the Care Density or Fragmented Care Density Given a Patient-Sharing Network

Given a patient-sharing network, calculate either the classic care density as proposed by Pollack et al. (2013) or the fragmented care density as proposed by Engels et al. (2024) . By utilizing the 'igraph' and 'data.table' packages, the provided functions scale well for very large graphs.

Datasets for "Statistics: UnLocking the Power of Data"

Datasets for the third edition of "Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data" by Lock^5 Includes version of datasets from earlier editions.

Open GenBank Files

Opens complete record(s) with .gb extension from the NCBI/GenBank Nucleotide database and returns a list containing shaped record(s). These kind of files contains detailed records of DNA samples (locus, organism, type of sequence, source of the sequence...). An example of record can be found at < https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/HE799070>.

Imputation of High-Dimensional Count Data using Side Information

Analysis, imputation, and multiple imputation of count data using covariates. LORI uses a log-linear Poisson model where main row and column effects, as well as effects of known covariates and interaction terms can be fitted. The estimation procedure is based on the convex optimization of the Poisson loss penalized by a Lasso type penalty and a nuclear norm. LORI returns estimates of main effects, covariate effects and interactions, as well as an imputed count table. The package also contains a multiple imputation procedure. The methods are described in Robin, Josse, Moulines and Sardy (2019) .

Weierstrass and Jacobi Elliptic Functions

A suite of elliptic and related functions including Weierstrass and Jacobi forms. Also includes various tools for manipulating and visualizing complex functions.

Exploratory Data Analysis for the 'spatstat' Family

Functionality for exploratory data analysis and nonparametric analysis of spatial data, mainly spatial point patterns, in the 'spatstat' family of packages. (Excludes analysis of spatial data on a linear network, which is covered by the separate package 'spatstat.linnet'.) Methods include quadrat counts, K-functions and their simulation envelopes, nearest neighbour distance and empty space statistics, Fry plots, pair correlation function, kernel smoothed intensity, relative risk estimation with cross-validated bandwidth selection, mark correlation functions, segregation indices, mark dependence diagnostics, and kernel estimates of covariate effects. Formal hypothesis tests of random pattern (chi-squared, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Monte Carlo, Diggle-Cressie-Loosmore-Ford, Dao-Genton, two-stage Monte Carlo) and tests for covariate effects (Cox-Berman-Waller-Lawson, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, ANOVA) are also supported.

Extension to 'tmap' for Creating Network Visualizations

Provides functions for visualizing networks with 'tmap'. It supports 'sfnetworks' objects natively but is not limited to them. Useful for adding network layers such as edges and nodes to 'tmap' maps. More features may be added in future versions.

Distances on Directed Graphs

Distances on dual-weighted directed graphs using priority-queue shortest paths (Padgham (2019) ). Weighted directed graphs have weights from A to B which may differ from those from B to A. Dual-weighted directed graphs have two sets of such weights. A canonical example is a street network to be used for routing in which routes are calculated by weighting distances according to the type of way and mode of transport, yet lengths of routes must be calculated from direct distances.

Interface Between 'GRASS' Geographical Information System and 'R'

An interface between the 'GRASS' geographical information system ('GIS') and 'R', based on starting 'R' from within the 'GRASS' 'GIS' environment, or running a free-standing 'R' session in a temporary 'GRASS' location; the package provides facilities for using all 'GRASS' commands from the 'R' command line. The original interface package for 'GRASS 5' (2000-2010) is described in Bivand (2000) and Bivand (2001) < https://www.r-project.org/conferences/DSC-2001/Proceedings/Bivand.pdf>. This was succeeded by 'spgrass6' for 'GRASS 6' (2006-2016) and 'rgrass7' for 'GRASS 7' (2015-present). The 'rgrass' package modernizes the interface for 'GRASS 8' while still permitting the use of 'GRASS 7'.
