Computes Statistics for Relational Event History Data

Computes a variety of statistics for relational event models. Relational event models enable researchers to investigate both exogenous and endogenous factors influencing the evolution of a time-ordered sequence of events. These models are categorized into tie-oriented models (Butts, C., 2008, ), where the probability of a dyad interacting next is modeled in a single step, and actor-oriented models (Stadtfeld, C., & Block, P., 2017, ), which first model the probability of a sender initiating an interaction and subsequently the probability of the sender's choice of receiver. The package is designed to compute a variety of statistics that summarize exogenous and endogenous influences on the event stream for both types of models.

Bayesian Model to Estimate Population Trends from Counts Series

Infers the trends of one or several animal populations over time from series of counts. It does so by accounting for count precision (provided or inferred based on expert knowledge, e.g. guesstimates), smoothing the population rate of increase over time, and accounting for the maximum demographic potential of species. Inference is carried out in a Bayesian framework. This work is part of the FRB-CESAB working group AfroBioDrivers < https://www.fondationbiodiversite.fr/en/the-frb-in-action/programs-and-projects/le-cesab/afrobiodrivers/>.

Goodness-of-Fit Tests for Capture-Recapture Models

Performs goodness-of-fit tests for capture-recapture models as described by Gimenez et al. (2018) . Also contains several functions to process capture-recapture data.

Fast Network Modularity and Roles Computation by Simulated Annealing (Rgraph C Library Wrapper for R)

Provides functions to compute the modularity and modularity-related roles in networks. It is a wrapper around the rgraph library (Guimera & Amaral, 2005, ).

Improved Methods for Constructing Prediction Intervals for Network Meta-Analysis

Improved methods to construct prediction intervals for network meta-analysis. The parametric bootstrap and Kenward-Roger-type adjustment by Noma et al. (2022) are implementable.

Spatial Data Download and Utility Functions

A suite of conversion functions to create internally standardized spatial polygons data frames. Utility functions use these data sets to return values such as country, state, time zone, watershed, etc. associated with a set of longitude/latitude pairs. (They also make cool maps.)

Dose Rate Modelling of Carbonate-Rich Samples

Translation of the 'MATLAB' program 'Carb' (Nathan and Mauz 2008 ; Mauz and Hoffmann 2014) for dose rate modelling for carbonate-rich samples in the context of trapped charged dating (e.g., luminescence dating) applications.

Google Analytics API into R

Interact with the Google Analytics APIs < https://developers.google.com/analytics/>, including the Core Reporting API (v3 and v4), Management API, User Activity API GA4's Data API and Admin API and Multi-Channel Funnel API.

Highlight Conserved Edits Across Versions of a Document

Input multiple versions of a source document, and receive HTML code for a highlighted version of the source document indicating the frequency of occurrence of phrases in the different versions. This method is described in Chapter 3 of Rogers (2024) < https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/dissertations/AAI31240449/>.

Ordination Methods for the Analysis of Beta-Diversity Indices

The analysis of different aspects of biodiversity requires specific algorithms. For example, in regionalisation analyses, the high frequency of ties and zero values in dissimilarity matrices produced by Beta-diversity turnover produces hierarchical cluster dendrograms whose topology and bootstrap supports are affected by the order of rows in the original matrix. Moreover, visualisation of biogeographical regionalisation can be facilitated by a combination of hierarchical clustering and multi-dimensional scaling. The recluster package provides robust techniques to visualise and analyse pattern of biodiversity and to improve occurrence data for cryptic taxa. Other functions related to recluster (e.g. the biodecrypt family) are currently available in GitHub at < https://github.com/leondap/recluster>.
