This report documents a beta version of code for computing the variance of the false discovery rate, when tests are based on correlations. It provides some orientation bridging the gap between the research article and the R material itself.

A b s t I' act. Maintaining soil productivity is essential if agri­ culture production systems are to be sustainable, thus soil quality is an essential issue. However, there is a paucity of tools for mea­ surement for the purpose ofunderstanding changes in soil quality. Here the possibility of using fuzzy modeling theory as a means to address the problem of soil quality assessment is considered...

MOTIVATION Pairwise relatedness plays an important role in a range of genetic research fields. However, currently only few estimators exist for individuals that are admixed, i.e. have ancestry from more than one population, and these estimators fail in some situations. RESULTS We present a new software tool, RelateAdmix, for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates of pairwise relatedness from ...

Many psychological constructs of interest to personality psychologists, such as personality, behavior, and emotions, are made up of many variables. Moreover, similarity metrics, such as self-other agreement, profile similarity, or behavioral consistency, result from calculations conducted across many variables. When analyzed using a comprehensive approach, such multivariate constructs present u...

SUMMARY Picante is a software package that provides a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing the phylogenetic and trait diversity of ecological communities. The package calculates phylogenetic diversity metrics, performs trait comparative analyses, manipulates phenotypic and phylogenetic data, and performs tests for phylogenetic signal in trait distributions, community structure and species i...

Quantile regression is an evolving body of statistical methods for estimating and drawing inferences about conditional quantile functions. An implementation of these methods in the R language is available in the package quantreg. This vignette offers a brief tutorial introduction to the package. R and the package quantreg are open-source software projects and can be freely downloaded from CRAN:...

This is a vignette for the R package CARBayes version 4.1, and is an updated version of a paper in the Journal of Statistical Software in 2013 Volume 55 Issue 13 by the same author. This vignette describes the class of models that can be implemented in CARBayes, and gives 3 worked examples of spatial data analysis using the package.

In th is paper, a n architecture-independent software development approach for parallel processing sy s t ems i s presented. T h i s approach is based o n the parallel objectoriented and func t ional computa t ion model PROOF and separates the architecture dependent issues f r o m software development. I t also facil i tates software developm e n t for any parallel processing sys tems by reliev...

This is a vignette for the R package CARBayes version 4, and is an updated version of a paper in the Journal of Statistical Software in 2013 Volume 55 Issue 13 with the same title and author. This vignette is required because CARBayes has been updated both in terms of syntax and functionality since the paper appeared in the Journal of Statistical Software.
