Computing Infrastructure

Bayesian data analysis usually incurs long runtimes and cumbersome custom code. A pipeline toolkit tailored to Bayesian statisticians, the stantargets R package leverages targets and cmdstanr to ease these burdens. stantargets makes it super easy to set up scalable Stan pipelines that automatically parallelize the computation and skip expensive steps when the results are already up to date. Minimal custom code is required, and there is no need to manually configure branching, so usage is much easier than targets alone. stantargets can access all of cmdstanrs major algorithms (MCMC, variational Bayes, and optimization) and it supports both single-fit workflows and multi-rep simulation studies. For the statistical methodology, please refer to Stan' documentation (Stan Development Team 2020) https://mc-stan.org/.

Bayesian data analysis usually incurs long runtimes and cumbersome custom code. A pipeline toolkit tailored to Bayesian statisticians, the jagstargets R package is leverages targets and R2jags to ease this burden. jagstargets makes it super easy to set up scalable JAGS pipelines that automatically parallelize the computation and skip expensive steps when the results are already up to date. Minimal custom code is required, and there is no need to manually configure branching, so usage is much easier than targets alone. For the underlying methodology, please refer to the documentation of targets doi:10.21105/joss.02959 and JAGS (Plummer 2003) https://www.r-project.org/conferences/DSC-2003/Proceedings/Plummer.pdf.

In computationally demanding data analysis pipelines, the targets R package (2021, doi:10.21105/joss.02959) maintains an up-to-date set of results while skipping tasks that do not need to rerun. This process increases speed and increases trust in the final end product. However, it also overwrites old output with new output, and past results disappear by default. To preserve historical output, the gittargets package captures version-controlled snapshots of the data store, and each snapshot links to the underlying commit of the source code. That way, when the user rolls back the code to a previous branch or commit, gittargets can recover the data contemporaneous with that commit so that all targets remain up to date.

Function-oriented Make-like declarative pipelines for Statistics and data science are supported in the targets R package. As an extension to targets, the tarchetypes package provides convenient user-side functions to make targets easier to use. By establishing reusable archetypes for common kinds of targets and pipelines, these functions help express complicated reproducible pipelines concisely and compactly. The methods in this package were influenced by the drake R package by Will Landau (2018) doi:10.21105/joss.00550.

A pipeline toolkit for Statistics and data science in R, the targets package brings function-oriented programming to Make-like declarative pipelines. targets orchestrates a pipeline as a graph of dependencies, skips steps that are already up to date, runs the necessary computation with optional parallel workers, abstracts files as R objects, and provides tangible evidence that the results are reproducible given the underlying code and data. The methodology in this package borrows from GNU Make (2015, ISBN:978-9881443519) and drake (2018, doi:10.21105/joss.00550).

What the package does (one paragraph).

Convert R package documentation to a readthedocs website.

A framework to help construct R data packages in a reproducible manner. Potentially time consuming processing of raw data sets into analysis ready data sets is done in a reproducible manner and decoupled from the usual R CMD build process so that data sets can be processed into R objects in the data package and the data package can then be shared, built, and installed by others without the need to repeat computationally costly data processing. The package maintains data provenance by turning the data processing scripts into package vignettes, as well as enforcing documentation and version checking of included data objects. Data packages can be version controlled in github, and used to share data for manuscripts, collaboration and general reproducibility.

Setup, run and analyze NetLogo (https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/) model simulations in R. nlrx experiments use a similar structure as NetLogos Behavior Space experiments. However, nlrx offers more flexibility and additional tools for running and analyzing complex simulation designs and sensitivity analyses. The user defines all information that is needed in an intuitive framework, using class objects. Experiments are submitted from R to NetLogo via XML files that are dynamically written, based on specifications defined by the user. By nesting model calls in future environments, large simulation design with many runs can be executed in parallel. This also enables simulating NetLogo experiments on remote high performance computing machines. In order to use this package, Java and NetLogo (>= 5.3.1) need to be available on the executing system.

As different antipsychotic medications have different potencies, the doses of different medications cannot be directly compared. Various strategies are used to convert doses into a common reference so that comparison is meaningful. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) has historically been used as a reference medication into which other antipsychotic doses can be converted, as “chlorpromazine-equivalent doses”. Using conversion keys generated from widely-cited scientific papers, e.g. Gardner et. al 2010 doi:10.1176/appi.ajp.2009.09060802 and Leucht et al. 2016 doi:10.1093/schbul/sbv167, antipsychotic doses are converted to CPZ (or any specified antipsychotic) equivalents. The use of the package is described in the included vignette. Not for clinical use.

An extension of knitr that adds flexibility in several ways. One common source of frustration with knitr is that it assumes the directory where the source file lives should be the working directory, which is often not true. ezknitr addresses this problem by giving you complete control over where all the inputs and outputs are, and adds several other convenient features to make rendering markdown/HTML documents easier.

Standardized survey outcome rate functions, including the response rate, contact rate, cooperation rate, and refusal rate. These outcome rates allow survey researchers to measure the quality of survey data using definitions published by the American Association of Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). For details on these standards, see AAPOR (2016) https://www.aapor.org/Standards-Ethics/Standard-Definitions-(1).aspx.
