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) .

Read and Write 'FreeSurfer' Neuroimaging File Formats

Provides functions to read and write neuroimaging data in various file formats, with a focus on 'FreeSurfer' < http://freesurfer.net/> formats. This includes, but is not limited to, the following file formats: 1) MGH/MGZ format files, which can contain multi-dimensional images or other data. Typically they contain time-series of three-dimensional brain scans acquired by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They can also contain vertex-wise measures of surface morphometry data. The MGH format is named after the Massachusetts General Hospital, and the MGZ format is a compressed version of the same format. 2) 'FreeSurfer' morphometry data files in binary 'curv' format. These contain vertex-wise surface measures, i.e., one scalar value for each vertex of a brain surface mesh. These are typically values like the cortical thickness or brain surface area at each vertex. 3) Annotation file format. This contains a brain surface parcellation derived from a cortical atlas. 4) Surface file format. Contains a brain surface mesh, given by a list of vertices and a list of faces.

Hyperlink Automatic Detection

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

PharmacoVigilance Signal Detection

A collection of several pharmacovigilance signal detection methods extended to the multiple comparison setting.

Leave One Out Kernel Density Estimates for Outlier Detection

Outlier detection using leave-one-out kernel density estimates and extreme value theory. The bandwidth for kernel density estimates is computed using persistent homology, a technique in topological data analysis. Using peak-over-threshold method, a generalized Pareto distribution is fitted to the log of leave-one-out kde values to identify outliers.

Backward Procedure for Change-Point Detection

Implements a backward procedure for single and multiple change point detection proposed by Shin et al. . The backward approach is particularly useful to detect short and sparse signals which is common in copy number variation (CNV) detection.

Fast Covariance Estimation for Multivariate Sparse Functional Data

Multivariate functional principal component analysis via fast covariance estimation for multivariate sparse functional data or longitudinal data proposed by Li, Xiao, and Luo (2020) .

Flexible Tool for Bias Detection, Visualization, and Mitigation

Measure fairness metrics in one place for many models. Check how big is model's bias towards different races, sex, nationalities etc. Use measures such as Statistical Parity, Equal odds to detect the discrimination against unprivileged groups. Visualize the bias using heatmap, radar plot, biplot, bar chart (and more!). There are various pre-processing and post-processing bias mitigation algorithms implemented. Package also supports calculating fairness metrics for regression models. Find more details in (Wiśniewski, Biecek (2021)) .
