Estimation of an S-shaped function and its corresponding inflection point via a least squares approach. A sequential mixed primal-dual based algorithm is implemented for the fast computation. Details can be found in Feng et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12481>.

Convenient tools for exchanging files securely from within R. By
    encrypting the content safe passage of files (shipment) can be provided by
    common but insecure carriers such as ftp and email. Based on asymmetric
    cryptography no management of shared secrets is needed to make a secure
    shipment as long as authentic public keys are available. Public keys used
    for secure shipments may also be obtained from external providers as part of
    the overall process. Transportation of files will require that relevant
    services such as ftp and email servers are available.

Evaluating the consistency assumption of Network Meta-Analysis both globally and locally in the Bayesian framework. Inconsistencies are located by applying Bayesian variable selection to the inconsistency factors. The implementation of the method is described by Seitidis et al. (2022) <arXiv:2211.07258>.

Extends the classical SSIM method proposed by 'Wang', 'Bovik', 'Sheikh', and 'Simoncelli'(2004) <doi:10.1109/TIP.2003.819861>. 
  for irregular lattice-based maps and raster images.
  The geographical SSIM method incorporates well-developed 'geographically weighted summary statistics'('Brunsdon', 'Fotheringham' and 'Charlton' 2002) <doi:10.1016/S0198-9715(01)00009-6> 
  with an adaptive bandwidth kernel function for irregular lattice-based maps.

Parse Standard Schedules Information file (types 2 and 3) into a Data Frame.
    Can also expand schedules into flights.

Functions that calculate appropriate sample sizes for one-sample t-tests, two-sample t-tests, and F-tests for microarray experiments based on desired power while controlling for false discovery rates. For all tests, the standard deviations (variances) among genes can be assumed fixed or random.  This is also true for effect sizes among genes in one-sample and two sample experiments. Functions also output a chart of power versus sample size, a table of power at different sample sizes, and a table of critical test values at different sample sizes.
