Provides functions for classifying sparseness in 2 x 2 categorical data where one or more cells have zero counts. The classification uses three widely applied summary measures: Risk Difference (RD), Relative Risk (RR), and Odds Ratio (OR). Helps in selecting suitable continuity corrections for zero cells in multi-centre or meta-analysis studies. Also supports sensitivity analysis and can detect phenomena such as Simpson's paradox. The methodology is based on Subbiah and Srinivasan (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2008.06.023>.

Provides a cross-platform interface to prevent the operating system from going to sleep while long-running R tasks are executing.

The aim of 'nosoi' (pronounced no.si) is to provide a flexible agent-based stochastic transmission chain/epidemic simulator (Lequime et al. Methods in Ecology and Evolution 11:1002-1007). It is named after the daimones of plague, sickness and disease that escaped Pandora's jar in the Greek mythology. 'nosoi' is able to take into account the influence of multiple variable on the transmission process (e.g. dual-host systems (such as arboviruses), within-host viral dynamics, transportation, population structure), alone or taken together, to create complex but relatively intuitive epidemiological simulations.

Provides functions to produce advanced ascii graphics, directly to the terminal window. This package utilizes the txtplot() function from the 'txtplot' package, to produce text-based histograms, empirical cumulative distribution function plots, scatterplots with fitted and regression lines, quantile plots, density plots, image plots, and contour plots.

Provides efficient implementation of the Narrowest-Over-Threshold methodology for detecting an unknown number of change-points occurring at unknown locations in one-dimensional data following 'deterministic signal + noise' model. Currently implemented scenarios are: piecewise-constant signal, piecewise-constant signal with a heavy-tailed noise, piecewise-linear signal, piecewise-quadratic signal, piecewise-constant signal and with piecewise-constant variance of the noise.
