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.

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.

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) .

Hyperlink Automatic Detection

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

Easily Download 'EconDataverse' Datasets

The 'EconDataverse' is a universe of open-source packages to work seamlessly with economic data. This package is designed to make it easy to download selected datasets that are preprocessed by 'EconDataverse' packages and publicly hosted on 'Hugging Face'. Learn more about the 'EconDataverse' at < https://www.econdataverse.org>.

PharmacoVigilance Signal Detection

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

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.

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.

R Interface to X-13-ARIMA-SEATS

Easy-to-use interface to X-13-ARIMA-SEATS, the seasonal adjustment software by the US Census Bureau. It offers full access to almost all options and outputs of X-13, including X-11 and SEATS, automatic ARIMA model search, outlier detection and support for user defined holiday variables, such as Chinese New Year or Indian Diwali. A graphical user interface can be used through the 'seasonalview' package. Uses the X-13-binaries from the 'x13binary' package.

Outliers Detection

Provides functions for detecting outliers in datasets using statistical methods. The package supports identification of anomalous observations in numerical data and is intended for use in data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, and preprocessing workflows.
