We introduce the interactive tool pandemonium to cluster model predictions that depend on a set of parameters. The model predictions are used to define the coordinates in observable space which go into the clustering. The results of this…
With the emergence of a new pandemic worldwide, a novel strategy to approach it has emerged. Several initiatives under the umbrella of "open science" are contributing to tackle this unprecedented situation. In particular, the "R Language…
"mdendro" is an R package that provides a comprehensive collection of linkage methods for agglomerative hierarchical clustering on a matrix of proximity data (distances or similarities), returning a multifurcated dendrogram or…
The matched case-control design, up until recently mostly pertinent to epidemiological studies, is becoming customary in biomedical applications as well. For instance, in omics studies, it is quite common to compare cancer and healthy…
Correlation among the observations in high-dimensional regression modeling can be a major source of confounding. We present a new open-source package, plmmr, to implement penalized linear mixed models in R. This R package estimates…
The past decade has witnessed a dramatic increase in the size and scope of biological and behavioral experiments. These experiments are providing an unprecedented level of detail and depth of data. However, this increase in data presents…
Boxplots and related visualization methods are widely used exploratory tools for taking a first look at collections of univariate variables. In this note an extension is provided that is specifically designed to detect and display…
Clustering of longitudinal data is used to explore common trends among subjects over time for a numeric measurement of interest. Various R packages have been introduced throughout the years for identifying clusters of longitudinal patterns,…
A hierarchical scheme for clustering data is presented which applies to spaces with a high number of dimension ($N_{_{D}}>3$). The data set is first reduced to a smaller set of partitions (multi-dimensional bins). Multiple clustering…
Disaggregation modelling, or downscaling, has become an important discipline in epidemiology. Surveillance data, aggregated over large regions, is becoming more common, leading to an increasing demand for modelling frameworks that can deal…
Cluster interpretation after dimensionality reduction (DR) is a ubiquitous part of exploring multidimensional datasets. DR results are frequently represented by scatterplots, where spatial proximity encodes similarity among data samples. In…
PReMiuM is a recently developed R package for Bayesian clustering using a Dirichlet process mixture model. This model is an alternative to regression models, non-parametrically linking a response vector to covariate data through cluster…
We describe the applications of clustering and visualization tools using the so-called neutral B anomalies as an example. Clustering permits parameter space partitioning into regions that can be separated with some given measurements. It…
We introduce the R package ContaminatedMixt, conceived to disseminate the use of mixtures of multivariate contaminated normal distributions as a tool for robust clustering and classification under the common assumption of elliptically…
Simulated high-dimensional data is useful for testing, validating, and improving algorithms used in dimension reduction, supervised and unsupervised learning. High-dimensional data is characterized by multiple variables that are dependent…
ProfileGLMM is an R package integrating Generalised Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) as the outcome model for Bayesian profile regression. This statistical framework simultaneously i) explains the variation in the outcome and ii) clusters the…
Astronomical researchers often think of analysis and visualization as separate tasks. In the case of high-dimensional data sets, though, interactive exploratory data visualization can give far more insight than an approach where data…
Due to the increasing availability of high-dimensional empirical applications in many research disciplines, valid simultaneous inference becomes more and more important. For instance, high-dimensional settings might arise in economic…
When faced with new data, we often conduct a cluster analysis to obtain a better understanding of the data's structure and the archetypical samples present in the data. This process often includes visualization of the data, either as a way…
Hierarchical clustering is one of the standard methods taught for identifying and exploring the underlying structures that may be present within a data set. Students are shown examples in which the dendrogram, a visual representation of the…
