Spatiotemporal Boundary Detection Model for Areal Unit Data

Implements a spatiotemporal boundary detection model with a dissimilarity metric for areal data with inference in a Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The response variable can be modeled as Gaussian (no nugget), probit or Tobit link and spatial correlation is introduced at each time point through a conditional autoregressive (CAR) prior. Temporal correlation is introduced through a hierarchical structure and can be specified as exponential or first-order autoregressive. Full details of the package can be found in the accompanying vignette. Furthermore, the details of the package can be found in "Diagnosing Glaucoma Progression with Visual Field Data Using a Spatiotemporal Boundary Detection Method", by Berchuck et al (2019) .

Signal Detection Analysis

Exploring time series for signal detection. It is specifically designed to detect possible outbreaks using infectious disease surveillance data at the European Union / European Economic Area or country level. Automatic detection tools used are presented in the paper "Monitoring count time series in R: aberration detection in public health surveillance", by Salmon (2016) . The package includes: - Signal Detection tool, an interactive 'shiny' application in which the user can import external data and perform basic signal detection analyses; - An automated report in HTML format, presenting the results of the time series analysis in tables and graphs. This report can also be stratified by population characteristics (see 'Population' variable). This project was funded by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

Event Detection Framework

Detect events in time-series data. Combines multiple well-known R packages like 'forecast' and 'neuralnet' to deliver an easily configurable tool for multivariate event detection.

Dimension Reduction for Outlier Detection

A dimension reduction technique for outlier detection. DOBIN: a Distance based Outlier BasIs using Neighbours, constructs a set of basis vectors for outlier detection. This is not an outlier detection method; rather it is a pre-processing method for outlier detection. It brings outliers to the fore-front using fewer basis vectors (Kandanaarachchi, Hyndman 2020) .

Joint Change Point Detection

Procedures for joint detection of changes in both expectation and variance in univariate sequences. Performs a statistical test of the null hypothesis of the absence of change points. In case of rejection performs an algorithm for change point detection.

Bloom Detecting Algorithm

The Bloom Detecting Algorithm enables the detection of blooms within a time series of species abundance and extracts 22 phenological variables. For details, see Karasiewicz et al. (2022) .

Whole Genome Average Interval Mapping for QTL Detection and Estimation using ASReml-R

A computationally efficient whole genome approach to detecting and estimating significant QTL in linkage maps using the flexible linear mixed modelling functionality of ASReml-R.

Optimizing Acoustic Signal Detection

Facilitates the automatic detection of acoustic signals, providing functions to diagnose and optimize the performance of detection routines. Detections from other software can also be explored and optimized. This package has been peer-reviewed by rOpenSci. Araya-Salas et al. (2022) .

Detection of Univariate Outliers

Well known outlier detection techniques in the univariate case. Methods to deal with skewed distribution are included too. The Hidiroglou-Berthelot (1986) method to search for outliers in ratios of historical data is implemented as well. When available, survey weights can be used in outliers detection.

Hyperlink Automatic Detection

Automatic detection of hyperlinks for packages and calls in the text of 'rmarkdown' or 'quarto' documents.
