Spatial Network Analysis

Interface package for 'sala', the spatial network analysis library from the 'depthmapX' software application. The R parts of the code are based on the 'rdepthmap' package. Allows for the analysis of urban and building-scale networks and provides metrics and methods usually found within the Space Syntax domain. Methods in this package are described by K. Al-Sayed, A. Turner, B. Hillier, S. Iida and A. Penn (2014) "Space Syntax methodology", and also by A. Turner (2004) < https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/2651> "Depthmap 4: a researcher's handbook".

Bias-Corrected Sandwich Variance Estimators for Marginal Cox Analysis of Cluster Randomized Trials

The implementation of bias-corrected sandwich variance estimators for the analysis of cluster randomized trials with time-to-event outcomes using the marginal Cox model, proposed by Wang et al. (under review).

Safe Anytime-Valid Inference

Functions to design and apply tests that are anytime valid. The functions can be used to design hypothesis tests in the prospective/randomised control trial setting or in the observational/retrospective setting. The resulting tests remain valid under both optional stopping and optional continuation. The current version includes safe t-tests and safe tests of two proportions. For details on the theory of safe tests, see Ly, A, Boehm, Grunwald, Ramdas and van Ravenzwaaij (2024). "Safe Anytime-Valid Inference: Practical maximally flexible sampling designs for experiments based on e-values" () and Grunwald, de Heide and Koolen (2024) "Safe Testing" (), for details on safe logrank tests see ter Schure, Perez-Ortiz, Ly and Grunwald (2024) "The Anytime-Valid Logrank Test: Error Control under Continuous Monitoring with Unlimited Horizon" (), and Turner, Ly and Grunwald (2024) "Generic E-variables for exact sequential k-sample tests that allow for optional stopping" () for details on safe contingency table tests.

Inhomogeneous K- And Pair Correlation Functions Using Global Estimators

Second-order summary statistics K- and pair-correlation functions describe interactions in point pattern data. This package provides computations to estimate those statistics on inhomogeneous point processes, using the methods of in T Shaw, J Møller, R Waagepetersen, 2020 .

Efficient Design and Analysis of Cluster Randomized Trials

Constrained randomization by Raab and Butcher (2001) is suitable for cluster randomized trials (CRTs) with a small number of clusters (e.g., 20 or fewer). The procedure of constrained randomization is based on the baseline values of some cluster-level covariates specified. The intervention effect on the individual outcome can then be analyzed through clustered permutation test introduced by Gail, et al. (1996) . Motivated from Li, et al. (2016) , the package performs constrained randomization on the baseline values of cluster-level covariates and clustered permutation test on the individual-level outcomes for cluster randomized trials.

Software for Evaluating Counterfactuals

Inferences about counterfactuals are essential for prediction, answering what if questions, and estimating causal effects. However, when the counterfactuals posed are too far from the data at hand, conclusions drawn from well-specified statistical analyses become based largely on speculation hidden in convenient modeling assumptions that few would be willing to defend. Unfortunately, standard statistical approaches assume the veracity of the model rather than revealing the degree of model-dependence, which makes this problem hard to detect. 'WhatIf' offers easy-to-apply methods to evaluate counterfactuals that do not require sensitivity testing over specified classes of models. If an analysis fails the tests offered here, then we know that substantive inferences will be sensitive to at least some modeling choices that are not based on empirical evidence, no matter what method of inference one chooses to use. 'WhatIf' implements the methods for evaluating counterfactuals discussed in Gary King and Langche Zeng, 2006, "The Dangers of Extreme Counterfactuals," Political Analysis 14 (2) ; and Gary King and Langche Zeng, 2007, "When Can History Be Our Guide? The Pitfalls of Counterfactual Inference," International Studies Quarterly 51 (March) .

Seasonal Mid-Summer Drought Characteristics

Characterization of a mid-summer drought (MSD) with precipitation based statistics. The MSD is a phenomenon of decreased rainfall during a typical rainy season. It is a feature of rainfall in much of Central America and is also found in other locations, typically those with a Mediterranean climate. Details on the metrics are in Maurer et al. (2022) .

Bias-Corrected GEE for Cluster Randomized Trials

Population-averaged models have been increasingly used in the design and analysis of cluster randomized trials (CRTs). To facilitate the applications of population-averaged models in CRTs, the package implements the generalized estimating equations (GEE) and matrix-adjusted estimating equations (MAEE) approaches to jointly estimate the marginal mean models correlation models both for general CRTs and stepped wedge CRTs. Despite the general GEE/MAEE approach, the package also implements a fast cluster-period GEE method by Li et al. (2022) specifically for stepped wedge CRTs with large and variable cluster-period sizes and gives a simple and efficient estimating equations approach based on the cluster-period means to estimate the intervention effects as well as correlation parameters. In addition, the package also provides functions for generating correlated binary data with specific mean vector and correlation matrix based on the multivariate probit method in Emrich and Piedmonte (1991) or the conditional linear family method in Qaqish (2003) .
