Provides the Empirical Bayesian Elastic Net for handling multicollinearity in generalized linear regression models.  As a special case of the 'EBglmnet'
  package (also available on CRAN), this package encourages a grouping effects to select relevant variables and estimate the corresponding non-zero effects.

Genotyping the population using next generation sequencing data is essentially important for the rare variant detection. In order to distinguish the genomic structural variation from sequencing error, we propose a statistical model which involves the genotype effect through a latent variable to depict the distribution of non-reference allele frequency data among different samples and different genome loci, while decomposing the sequencing error into sample effect and positional effect. An ECM algorithm is implemented to estimate the model parameters, and then the genotypes and SNPs are inferred based on the empirical Bayes method.

Provides empirical Bayesian lasso and elastic net algorithms for variable selection and effect estimation. Key features include sparse variable selection and effect estimation via generalized linear regression models, high dimensionality with p>>n, and significance test for nonzero effects. This package outperforms other popular methods such as lasso and elastic net methods in terms of power of detection, false discovery rate, and power of detecting grouping effects.

Tools for accessing and analyzing eBird Status and
    Trends Data Products
    (<https://science.ebird.org/en/status-and-trends>). eBird
    (<https://ebird.org/home>) is a global database of bird observations
    collected by member of the public. eBird Status and Trends uses these
    data to model global bird distributions, abundances, and population trends 
    at a high spatial and temporal resolution.

Create forecasts from multiple predictions using ensemble Bayesian model averaging (EBMA). EBMA models can be estimated using an expectation maximization (EM) algorithm or as fully Bayesian models via Gibbs sampling. The methods in this package are Montgomery, Hollenbach, and Ward (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2014.08.001> and Montgomery, Hollenbach, and Ward (2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mps002>.
