Test Coverage for Packages

Track and report code coverage for your package and (optionally) upload the results to a coverage service like 'Codecov' < https://about.codecov.io> or 'Coveralls' < https://coveralls.io>. Code coverage is a measure of the amount of code being exercised by a set of tests. It is an indirect measure of test quality and completeness. This package is compatible with any testing methodology or framework and tracks coverage of both R code and compiled C/C++/FORTRAN code.

Seamless R and C++ Integration

The 'Rcpp' package provides R functions as well as C++ classes which offer a seamless integration of R and C++. Many R data types and objects can be mapped back and forth to C++ equivalents which facilitates both writing of new code as well as easier integration of third-party libraries. Documentation about 'Rcpp' is provided by several vignettes included in this package, via the 'Rcpp Gallery' site at < https://gallery.rcpp.org>, the paper by Eddelbuettel and Francois (2011, ), the book by Eddelbuettel (2013, ) and the paper by Eddelbuettel and Balamuta (2018, ); see 'citation("Rcpp")' for details.

Boost C++ Header Files

Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. A large part of Boost is provided as C++ template code which is resolved entirely at compile-time without linking. This package aims to provide the most useful subset of Boost libraries for template use among CRAN packages. By placing these libraries in this package, we offer a more efficient distribution system for CRAN as replication of this code in the sources of other packages is avoided. As of release 1.84.0-0, the following Boost libraries are included: 'accumulators' 'algorithm' 'align' 'any' 'atomic' 'beast' 'bimap' 'bind' 'circular_buffer' 'compute' 'concept' 'config' 'container' 'date_time' 'detail' 'dynamic_bitset' 'exception' 'flyweight' 'foreach' 'functional' 'fusion' 'geometry' 'graph' 'heap' 'icl' 'integer' 'interprocess' 'intrusive' 'io' 'iostreams' 'iterator' 'lambda2' 'math' 'move' 'mp11' 'mpl' 'multiprecision' 'numeric' 'pending' 'phoenix' 'polygon' 'preprocessor' 'process' 'propery_tree' 'qvm' 'random' 'range' 'scope_exit' 'smart_ptr' 'sort' 'spirit' 'tuple' 'type_traits' 'typeof' 'unordered' 'url' 'utility' 'uuid'.

C++ Header Files for Stan

The C++ header files of the Stan project are provided by this package, but it contains little R code or documentation. The main reference is the vignette. There is a shared object containing part of the 'CVODES' library, but its functionality is not accessible from R. 'StanHeaders' is primarily useful for developers who want to utilize the 'LinkingTo' directive of their package's DESCRIPTION file to build on the Stan library without incurring unnecessary dependencies. The Stan project develops a probabilistic programming language that implements full or approximate Bayesian statistical inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo or 'variational' methods and implements (optionally penalized) maximum likelihood estimation via optimization. The Stan library includes an advanced automatic differentiation scheme, 'templated' statistical and linear algebra functions that can handle the automatically 'differentiable' scalar types (and doubles, 'ints', etc.), and a parser for the Stan language. The 'rstan' package provides user-facing R functions to parse, compile, test, estimate, and analyze Stan models.

Fast and Versatile Argument Checks

Tests and assertions to perform frequent argument checks. A substantial part of the package was written in C to minimize any worries about execution time overhead.

C++ Interface to PostgreSQL

Fully DBI-compliant C++-backed interface to PostgreSQL < https://www.postgresql.org/>, an open-source relational database.

An Interruptible Progress Bar with OpenMP Support for C++ in R Packages

Allows to display a progress bar in the R console for long running computations taking place in c++ code, and support for interrupting those computations even in multithreaded code, typically using OpenMP.

Linear Mixed-Effects Models using 'Eigen' and S4

Fit linear and generalized linear mixed-effects models. The models and their components are represented using S4 classes and methods. The core computational algorithms are implemented using the 'Eigen' C++ library for numerical linear algebra and 'RcppEigen' "glue".

Expanded Replacement and Extension of the 'optim' Function

Provides a replacement and extension of the optim() function to call to several function minimization codes in R in a single statement. These methods handle smooth, possibly box constrained functions of several or many parameters. Note that function 'optimr()' was prepared to simplify the incorporation of minimization codes going forward. Also implements some utility codes and some extra solvers, including safeguarded Newton methods. Many methods previously separate are now included here. This is the version for CRAN.

Bootstrap Functions

Functions and datasets for bootstrapping from the book "Bootstrap Methods and Their Application" by A. C. Davison and D. V. Hinkley (1997, CUP), originally written by Angelo Canty for S.
