A collection of statistical hypothesis tests and other 
	techniques for identifying certain spatial relationships/phenomena in 
	DNA sequences. In particular, it provides tests and graphical methods for determining 
	whether or not DNA sequences comply with Chargaff's second parity rule 
	or exhibit purine-pyrimidine parity. In addition, there are functions for 
	efficiently simulating discrete state space Markov chains and testing 
	arbitrary symbolic sequences of symbols for the presence of first-order 
	Markovianness.
	Also, it has functions for counting words/k-mers (and cylinder patterns) in 
	arbitrary symbolic sequences. Functions which take a DNA sequence as input 
	can handle sequences stored as SeqFastadna objects from the 'seqinr' package.

Functions for computing geographically weighted
  regressions are provided, based on work by Chris
  Brunsdon, Martin Charlton and Stewart Fotheringham.

A multidimensional dataset of students' performance assessment in high school physics. The SPHERE dataset was collected from 497 students in four public high schools specifically measuring their conceptual understanding, scientific ability, and attitude toward physics [see Santoso et al. (2024) <doi:10.17632/88d7m2fv7p.1>]. The data collection was conducted using some research based assessments established by the physics education research community. They include the Force Concept Inventory, the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation, the Rotational and Rolling Motion Conceptual Survey, the Fluid Mechanics Concept Inventory, the Mechanical Waves Conceptual Survey, the Thermal Concept Evaluation, the Survey of Thermodynamic Processes and First and Second Laws, the Scientific Abilities Assessment Rubrics, and the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey. Students' attributes related to gender, age, socioeconomic status, domicile, literacy, physics identity, and test results administered using teachers' developed items are also reported in this dataset.

A simple package facilitating ML based analysis for physics education research (PER) purposes. The implemented machine learning technique is random forest optimized by item response theory (IRT) for feature selection and genetic algorithm (GA) for hyperparameter tuning. The data analyzed here has been made available in the CRAN repository through the 'spheredata' package. The SPHERE stands for Students' Performance in Physics Education Research (PER). The students are the eleventh graders learning physics at the high school curriculum. We follow the stream of multidimensional students' assessment as probed by some research based assessments in PER. The goal is to predict the students' performance at the end of the learning process. Three learning domains are measured including conceptual understanding, scientific ability, and scientific attitude. Furthermore, demographic backgrounds and potential variables predicting students' performance on physics are also demonstrated.
