Provides an easy to calculate local variable importance measure based on Ceteris Paribus profile 
  and global variable importance measure based on Partial Dependence Profiles.

Interactive visualization for Bayesian prior and posterior distributions. 
    This package facilitates an animated transition between prior and posterior distributions. 
    Additionally, it splits the distribution into bars based on the provided 'breaks,' displaying 
    the probability for each region. If no 'breaks' are provided, it defaults to zero.

Provides an interface to the VK API <https://vk.com/dev/methods>.
      VK <https://vk.com/> is the largest European online social networking
      service, based in Russia.

Using frequency matrices, very low frequency variants (VLFs) are assessed for amino acid and nucleotide sequences.  The VLFs are then compared to see if they occur in only one member of a species, singleton VLFs, or if they occur in multiple members of a species, shared VLFs.  The amino acid and nucleotide VLFs are then compared to see if they are concordant with one another.  Amino acid VLFs are also assessed to determine if they lead to a change in amino acid residue type, and potential changes to protein structures. Based on Stoeckle and Kerr (2012) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0043992>.

Functions, Classes & Methods for estimation, prediction, and
  simulation (bootstrap) of Variable Length Markov Chain ('VLMC') Models.

Models categorical time series through a Markov Chain when a) covariates are predictors for transitioning into the next state/symbol and b) when the dependence in the past states has variable length. The probability of transitioning to the next state in the Markov Chain is defined by a multinomial regression whose parameters depend on the past states of the chain and, moreover, the number of states in the past needed to predict the next state also depends on the observed states themselves.

A framework to infer causality on a pair of time series of real numbers based on variable-lag Granger causality and transfer entropy. Typically, Granger causality and transfer entropy have an assumption of a fixed and constant time delay between the cause and effect. However, for a non-stationary time series, this assumption is not true. For example, considering two time series of velocity of person A and person B where B follows A. At some time, B stops tying his shoes, then running to catch up A. The fixed-lag assumption is not true in this case. We propose a framework that allows variable-lags between cause and effect in Granger causality and transfer entropy to allow them to deal with variable-lag non-stationary time series.
