Estimators of Prediction Accuracy for Time-to-Event Data

Provides a variety of functions to estimate time-dependent true/false positive rates and AUC curves from a set of censored survival data.

Permutational Group Sequential Test for Time-to-Event Data

Permutational group-sequential tests for time-to-event data based on the log-rank test statistic. Supports exact permutation test when the censoring distributions are equal in the treatment and the control group and approximate imputation-permutation methods when the censoring distributions are different.

High Dimensional Categorical Data Visualization

Easy visualization for datasets with more than two categorical variables and additional continuous variables. 'diceplot' is particularly useful for exploring complex categorical data in the context of pathway analysis across multiple conditions. For a detailed documentation please visit < https://dice-and-domino-plot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>.

A Time Series Database for Official Statistics with R and PostgreSQL

Archive and manage times series data from official statistics. The 'timeseriesdb' package was designed to manage a large catalog of time series from official statistics which are typically published on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. Thus timeseriesdb is optimized to handle updates caused by data revision as well as elaborate, multi-lingual meta information.

Parametric Time-to-Event Analysis with Variable Incubation Phases

Fit parametric models for time-to-event data that show an initial 'incubation period', i.e., a variable delay phase where the hazard is zero. The delayed Weibull distribution serves as foundational data model. The specific method of 'MPSE' (maximum product of spacings estimation) and MLE-based methods are used for parameter estimation. Bootstrap confidence intervals for parameters and significance tests in a two group setting are provided.

Article Formats for R Markdown

A suite of custom R Markdown formats and templates for authoring journal articles and conference submissions.

Get Data from the 'KOF Datenservice' API

Read Swiss time series data from the 'KOF Data' API, < https://datenservice.kof.ethz.ch>. The API provides macro economic time series data mostly about Switzerland. The package itself is a set of wrappers around the 'KOF Datenservice' API. The 'kofdata' package is able to consume public information as well as data that requires an API token.

Response Quality Indicators for Survey Research

Calculate common survey data quality indicators for multi-item scales and matrix questions. Currently supports the calculation of response style indicators and response distribution indicators. For an overview on response quality indicators see Bhaktha N, Henning S, Clemens L (2024). 'Characterizing response quality in surveys with multi-item scales: A unified framework' < https://osf.io/9gs67/>.

Agreement of Nominal Scale Raters (with a Gold Standard)

Estimate agreement of a group of raters with a gold standard rating on a nominal scale. For a single gold standard rater the average pairwise agreement of raters with this gold standard is provided. For a group of (gold standard) raters the approach of S. Vanbelle, A. Albert (2009) is implemented. Bias and standard error are estimated via delete-1 jackknife.

PARAFAC Analysis of EEMs from DOM

This is a user-friendly way to run a parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis (Harshman, 1971) on excitation emission matrix (EEM) data from dissolved organic matter (DOM) samples (Murphy et al., 2013) . The analysis includes profound methods for model validation. Some additional functions allow the calculation of absorbance slope parameters and create beautiful plots.
