Fast and URL-Safe Base64 Encoder and Decoder

In contrast to RFC3548, the 62nd character ("+") is replaced with "-", the 63rd character ("/") is replaced with "_". Furthermore, the encoder does not fill the string with trailing "=". The resulting encoded strings comply to the regular expression pattern "[A-Za-z0-9_-]" and thus are safe to use in URLs or for file names. The package also comes with a simple base32 encoder/decoder suited for case insensitive file systems.

'Rcpp' Bindings for the 'simdjson' Header-Only Library for 'JSON' Parsing

The 'JSON' format is ubiquitous for data interchange, and the 'simdjson' library written by Daniel Lemire (and many contributors) provides a high-performance parser for these files which by relying on parallel 'SIMD' instruction manages to parse these files as faster than disk speed. See the paper for more details about 'simdjson'. This package parses 'JSON' from string, file, or remote URLs under a variety of settings.

Include Tables, Images and Graphs in Leaflet Pop-Ups

Creates 'HTML' strings to embed tables, images or graphs in pop-ups of interactive maps created with packages like 'leaflet' or 'mapview'. Handles local images located on the file system or via remote URL. Handles graphs created with 'lattice' or 'ggplot2' as well as interactive plots created with 'htmlwidgets'.

Octonions and Quaternions

Quaternions and Octonions are four- and eight- dimensional extensions of the complex numbers. They are normed division algebras over the real numbers and find applications in spatial rotations (quaternions), and string theory and relativity (octonions). The quaternions are noncommutative and the octonions nonassociative. See the package vignette for more details.

Automatic Generation of Exams in R

Automatic generation of exams based on exercises in Markdown or LaTeX format, possibly including R code for dynamic generation of exercise elements. Exercise types include single-choice and multiple-choice questions, arithmetic problems, string questions, and combinations thereof (cloze). Output formats include standalone files (PDF, HTML, Docx, ODT, ...), Moodle XML, QTI 1.2, QTI 2.1, Blackboard, Canvas, OpenOlat, ILIAS, TestVision, Particify, ARSnova, Kahoot!, Grasple, and TCExam. In addition to fully customizable PDF exams, a standardized PDF format (NOPS) is provided that can be printed, scanned, and automatically evaluated.

'Semantic Versioning V2.0.0' Parser

Tools and functions for parsing, rendering and operating on semantic version strings. Semantic versioning is a simple set of rules and requirements that dictate how version numbers are assigned and incremented as outlined at < https://semver.org>.

Converts 'NONMEM' Models to 'rxode2'

'NONMEM' has been a tool for running nonlinear mixed effects models since the 80s and is still used today (Bauer 2019 ). This tool allows you to convert 'NONMEM' models to 'rxode2' (Wang, Hallow and James (2016) ) and with simple models 'nlmixr2' syntax (Fidler et al (2019) ). The 'nlmixr2' syntax requires the residual specification to be included and it is not always translated. If available, the 'rxode2' model will read in the 'NONMEM' data and compare the simulation for the population model ('PRED') individual model ('IPRED') and residual model ('IWRES') to immediately show how well the translation is performing. This saves the model development time for people who are creating an 'rxode2' model manually. Additionally, this package reads in all the information to allow simulation with uncertainty (that is the number of observations, the number of subjects, and the covariance matrix) with a 'rxode2' model. This is complementary to the 'babelmixr2' package that translates 'nlmixr2' models to 'NONMEM' and can convert the objects converted from 'nonmem2rx' to a full 'nlmixr2' fit.

Simple Key-Value Database

Implements a simple key-value style database where character string keys are associated with data values that are stored on the disk. A simple interface is provided for inserting, retrieving, and deleting data from the database. Utilities are provided that allow 'filehash' databases to be treated much like environments and lists are already used in R. These utilities are provided to encourage interactive and exploratory analysis on large datasets. Three different file formats for representing the database are currently available and new formats can easily be incorporated by third parties for use in the 'filehash' framework.

Additional Operators to Help you Write Cleaner R Code

Provides string arithmetic, reassignment operators, logical operators that handle missing values, and extra logical operators such as floating point equality and all or nothing. The intent is to allow R users to write code that is easier to read, write, and maintain while providing a friendlier experience to new R users from other language backgrounds (such as 'Python') who are used to concepts such as x += 1 and 'foo' + 'bar'. Includes operators for not in, easy floating point comparisons, === equivalent, and SQL-like like operations (), etc. We also added in some extra helper functions, such as OS checks, pasting in Oxford comma format, and functions to get the first, last, nth, or most common element of a vector or word in a string.

Additional Matrix Functionality

Additional matrix functionality for R including: (1) wrappers for the base matrix function that allow matrices to be created from character strings and lists (the former is especially useful for creating block matrices), (2) better printing of large matrices via the generic "pretty" print function, and (3) a number of convenience functions for users more familiar with other scientific languages like 'Julia', 'Matlab'/'Octave', or 'Python'+'NumPy'.
