Provides an algorithm to detect and characterize disturbances (start, end dates, intensity) that can occur at different hierarchical levels by studying the dynamics of longitudinal observations at the unit level and group level based on Nadaraya-Watson's smoothing curves, but also a shiny app which allows to visualize the observations and the detected disturbances. Finally the package provides a dataframe mimicking a pig farming system subsected to disturbances simulated according to Le et al.(2022) <doi:10.1016/j.animal.2022.100496>.

Efficient Bayesian implementations of probit, logit, multinomial logit and binomial logit models. Functions for plotting and tabulating the estimation output are available as well. Estimation is based on Gibbs sampling where the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms are based on the latent variable representations and marginal data augmentation algorithms described in "Gregor Zens, Sylvia Frühwirth-Schnatter & Helga Wagner (2023). Ultimate Pólya Gamma Samplers – Efficient MCMC for possibly imbalanced binary and categorical data, Journal of the American Statistical Association <doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2259030>".

Up-and-Down (UD) is the most popular design approach for dose-finding, but it has been severely under-served by the statistical and computing communities. This is the first package that comprehensively addresses UD's needs. Recent applied UD tutorial: Oron et al., 2022 <doi:10.1097/ALN.0000000000004282>. Recent methodological overview: Oron and Flournoy, 2024 <doi:10.51387/24-NEJSDS74>.

Using matrix layout to visualize the unique, common, or individual contribution of each predictor (or matrix of predictors) towards explained variation on different models. These contributions were derived from variation partitioning (VP) and hierarchical partitioning (HP), applying the algorithm of "Lai et al. (2022) Generalizing hierarchical and variation partitioning in multiple regression and canonical analyses using the rdacca.hp R package.Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 13: 782-788 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13800>".
