Recurrent event analyses have found a wide range of applications in biomedicine, public health, and engineering, among others, where study subjects may experience a sequence of event of interest during follow-up. The R package reReg (Chiou and Huang 2021) offers a comprehensive collection of practical and easy-to-use tools for regression analysis of recurrent events, possibly with the presence of an informative terminal event. The regression framework is a general scale-change model which encompasses the popular Cox-type model, the accelerated rate model, and the accelerated mean model as special cases. Informative censoring is accommodated through a subject-specific frailty without no need for parametric specification. Different regression models are allowed for the recurrent event process and the terminal event. Also included are visualization and simulation tools.

The R package quantreg.nonpar implements nonparametric quantile regression methods to estimate and make inference on partially linear quantile models. quantreg.nonpar obtains point estimates of the conditional quantile function and its derivatives ba sed on series approximations to the nonparametric part of the model. It also provides pointwise and uniform confidence intervals over a region of covariate values and/or quantile indices for the same functions using analytical and resampling methods. This paper serves as an introduction to the package and displays basic functionality of the functions contained within.
This paper is dedicated to the R package FMM which implements a novel approach to describe rhythmic patterns in oscillatory signals. The frequency modulated Mobius (FMM) model is defined as a parametric signal plus a gaussian noise, where the signal can be described as a single or a sum of waves. The FMM approach is flexible enough to describe a great variety of rhythmic patterns. The FMM package includes all required functions to fit and explore single and multi-wave FMM models, as well as a restricted version that allows equality constraints between parameters representing a priori knowledge about the shape to be included. Moreover, the FMM package can generate synthetic data and visualize the results of the fitting process. The potential of this methodology is illustrated with examples of such biological oscillations as the circadian rhythm in gene expression, the electrical activity of the heartbeat and neuronal activity.
Pooled testing (also known as group testing), where diagnostic tests are performed on pooled samples, has broad applications in the surveillance of diseases in animals and humans. An increasingly common use case is molecular xenomonitoring (MX), wher e surveillance of vector-borne diseases is conducted by capturing and testing large numbers of vectors (e.g. mosquitoes). The R package PoolTestR was developed to meet the needs of increasingly large and complex molecular xenomonitoring surveys but can be applied to analyse any data involving pooled testing. PoolTestR includes simple and flexible tools to estimate prevalence and fit fixed- and mixed-effect generalised linear models for pooled data in frequentist and Bayesian frameworks. Mixed-effect models allow users to account for the hierarchical sampling designs that are often employed in surveys, including MX. We demonstrate the utility of PoolTestR by applying it to a large synthetic dataset that emulates a MX survey with a hierarchical sampling design.
We introduce and illustrate through numerical examples the R package texttt{SIHR} which handles the statistical inference for (1) linear and quadratic functionals in the high-dimensional linear regression and (2) linear functional in the high-dimensi onal logistic regression. The focus of the proposed algorithms is on the point estimation, confidence interval construction and hypothesis testing. The inference methods are extended to multiple regression models. We include real data applications to demonstrate the packages performance and practicality.
The R-package REPPlab is designed to explore multivariate data sets using one-dimensional unsupervised projection pursuit. It is useful in practice as a preprocessing step to find clusters or as an outlier detection tool for multivariate numerical da ta. Except from the package tourr that implements smooth sequences of projection matrices and rggobi that provides an interface to a dynamic graphics package called GGobi, there is no implementation of exploratory projection pursuit tools available in R especially in the context of outlier detection. REPPlab is an R interface for the Java program EPPlab that implements four projection indices and three biologically inspired optimization algorithms. The implemented indices are either adapted to cluster or to outlier detection and the optimization algorithms have at most one parameter to tune. Following the original software EPPlab, the exploration strategy in REPPlab is divided into two steps. Many potentially interesting projections are calculated at the first step and examined at the second step. For this second step, different tools for plotting and combining the results are proposed with specific tools for outlier detection. Compared to EPPlab, some of these tools are new and their performance is illustrated through some simulations and using some real data sets in a clustering context. The functionalities of the package are also illustrated for outlier detection on a new data set that is provided with the package.
