Decomposes the empirical Brier score into reliability, resolution and uncertainty. Two different estimators for the components are provided: The original estimators proposed by Murphy (1974), and the bias-corrected estimators proposed by Ferro and Fricker (2012). Sampling variances of all the components are estimated. This package applies only to probabilistic predictions of binary events.

Sonification (or audification) is the process of representing data by sounds in the audible range. This package provides the R function sonify() that transforms univariate data, sampled at regular or irregular intervals, into a continuous sound with time-varying frequency. The ups and downs in frequency represent the ups and downs in the data. Sonify provides a substitute for R's plot function to simplify data analysis for the visually impaired.

A collection of forecast verification routines developed for the SPECS FP7 project. The emphasis is on comparative verification of ensemble forecasts of weather and climate.

Tools for visualizing, smoothing and comparing receiver operating characteristic (ROC curves). (Partial) area under the curve (AUC) can be compared with statistical tests based on U-statistics or bootstrap. Confidence intervals can be computed for (p)AUC or ROC curves.

Provides various tools for developers of R packages interfacing with 'Stan' <https://mc-stan.org>, including functions to set up the required package structure, S3 generics and default methods to unify function naming across 'Stan'-based R packages, and vignettes with recommendations for developers.
