Utilities from 'Seminar fuer Statistik' ETH Zurich

Useful utilities ['goodies'] from Seminar fuer Statistik ETH Zurich, some of which were ported from S-plus in the 1990s. For graphics, have pretty (Log-scale) axes eaxis(), an enhanced Tukey-Anscombe plot, combining histogram and boxplot, 2d-residual plots, a 'tachoPlot()', pretty arrows, etc. For robustness, have a robust F test and robust range(). For system support, notably on Linux, provides 'Sys.*()' functions with more access to system and CPU information. Finally, miscellaneous utilities such as simple efficient prime numbers, integer codes, Duplicated(), toLatex.numeric() and is.whole().

Dynamic Logging for R Inspired by Configuration Driven Development

A comprehensive and dynamic configuration driven logging package for R. While there are several excellent logging solutions already in the R ecosystem, I always feel constrained in some way by each of them. Every project is designed differently to solve it's domain specific problem, and ultimately the utility of a logging solution is its ability to adapt to this design. This is the raison d'être for 'dyn.log': to provide a modular design, template mechanics and a configuration-based integration model, so that the logger can integrate deeply into your design, even though it knows nothing about it.

A Logging Utility Focus on Clinical Trial Programming Workflows

A utility to facilitate the logging and review of R programs in clinical trial programming workflows.

Parsing Semi-Structured Log Files into Tabular Format

Convert semi-structured log files (such as 'Apache' access.log files) into a tabular format (data.frame) using a standard template system.

Penalized Log-Density Estimation Using Legendre Polynomials

We present a penalized log-density estimation method using Legendre polynomials with lasso penalty to adjust estimate's smoothness. Re-expressing the logarithm of the density estimator via a linear combination of Legendre polynomials, we can estimate parameters by maximizing the penalized log-likelihood function. Besides, we proposed an implementation strategy that builds on the coordinate decent algorithm, together with the Bayesian information criterion (BIC).

Relative Risk Regression Using the Log-Binomial Model

Methods for fitting log-link GLMs and GAMs to binomial data, including EM-type algorithms with more stable convergence properties than standard methods.

Fit Log-Ratio Lasso Regression for Compositional Data

Log-ratio Lasso regression for continuous, binary, and survival outcomes with (longitudinal) compositional features. See Fei and others (2024) .

Odd Log-Logistic Generalized Gamma Probability Distribution

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Odd Log-Logistic Generalized Gamma proposed in Prataviera, F. et al (2017) .

Fits the Bayesian Piecewise Linear Log-Hazard Model

Contains posterior samplers for the Bayesian piecewise linear log-hazard and piecewise exponential hazard models, including Cox models. Posterior mean restricted survival times are also computed for non-Cox an Cox models with only treatment indicators. The ApproxMean() function can be used to estimate restricted posterior mean survival times given a vector of patient covariates in the Cox model. Functions included to return the posterior mean hazard and survival functions for the piecewise exponential and piecewise linear log-hazard models. Chapple, AG, Peak, T, Hemal, A (2020). Under Revision.

Log-Concave Distribution Estimation with Interval-Censored Data

We consider the non-parametric maximum likelihood estimation of the underlying distribution function, assuming log-concavity, based on mixed-case interval-censored data. The algorithm implemented is base on Chi Wing Chu, Hok Kan Ling and Chaoyu Yuan (2024, ).
