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.

Analyses of Text using Transformers Models from HuggingFace, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning

Link R with Transformers from Hugging Face to transform text variables to word embeddings; where the word embeddings are used to statistically test the mean difference between set of texts, compute semantic similarity scores between texts, predict numerical variables, and visual statistically significant words according to various dimensions etc. For more information see < https://www.r-text.org>.

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. Reference - Bivariate change point detection - joint detection of changes in expectation and variance, Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, .

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.

Explainable Outlier Detection Through Decision Tree Conditioning

Outlier detection method that flags suspicious values within observations, constrasting them against the normal values in a user-readable format, potentially describing conditions within the data that make a given outlier more rare. Full procedure is described in Cortes (2020) . Loosely based on the 'GritBot' < https://www.rulequest.com/gritbot-info.html> software.

Acoustic Template Detection in R

Acoustic template detection and monitoring database interface. Create, modify, save, and use templates for detection of animal vocalizations. View, verify, and extract results. Upload a MySQL schema to a existing instance, manage survey metadata, write and read templates and detections locally or to the database.
