An R package that allows for combining tree-boosting with Gaussian process and mixed effects models. It also allows for independently doing tree-boosting as well as inference and prediction for Gaussian process and mixed effects models. See <https://github.com/fabsig/GPBoost> for more information on the software and Sigrist (2022, JMLR) <https://www.jmlr.org/papers/v23/20-322.html> and Sigrist (2023, TPAMI) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2022.3168152> for more information on the methodology.

Performs statistical data analysis of various Plant Breeding experiments. Contains functions for Line by Tester analysis as per Arunachalam, V.(1974) <http://repository.ias.ac.in/89299/> and Diallel analysis as per Griffing, B. (1956) <https://www.publish.csiro.au/bi/pdf/BI9560463>.

Provides a framework to detect Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in Generalized Partial Credit Models (GPCM) and special cases of the GPCM as proposed by Schauberger and Mair (2019) <doi:10.3758/s13428-019-01224-2>. A joint model is set up where DIF is explicitly parametrized and penalized likelihood estimation is used for parameter selection. The big advantage of the method called GPCMlasso is that several variables can be treated simultaneously and that both continuous and categorical variables can be used to detect DIF.

This function performs genomic prediction of cross performance using genotype and phenotype data.
  It processes data in several steps including loading necessary software, converting genotype data, processing phenotype data,
  fitting mixed models, and predicting cross performance based on weighted marker effects.

Parameter estimation and prediction of Gaussian Process Classifier models as described in Bachoc et al. (2020) <doi:10.1007/S10898-020-00920-0>. Important functions : gpcm(), predict.gpcm(), update.gpcm().

Provides functions for simulating and estimating parameters of various growth models, including Logistic, Exponential, Theta-logistic, Von-Bertalanffy, and Gompertz models. The package supports both simulated and real data analysis, including parameter estimation, visualization, and calculation of global and local estimates. The methods are based on research described by Md Aktar Ul Karim and Amiya Ranjan Bhowmick (2022) in (<https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-2363586/v1>). An interactive web application is also available at [GPEMR Web App](<https://gpem-r.shinyapps.io/GPEM-R/>).
