Record 'HTTP' Calls to Disk

Record test suite 'HTTP' requests and replays them during future runs. A port of the Ruby gem of the same name (< https://github.com/vcr/vcr/>). Works by recording real 'HTTP' requests/responses on disk in 'cassettes', and then replaying matching responses on subsequent requests.

Stubbing and Setting Expectations on 'HTTP' Requests

Stubbing and setting expectations on 'HTTP' requests. Includes tools for stubbing 'HTTP' requests, including expected request conditions and response conditions. Match on 'HTTP' method, query parameters, request body, headers and more. Can be used for unit tests or outside of a testing context.

High-Performance Matrix Market File Operations

An interface to the 'fast_matrix_market' 'C++' library, this package offers efficient read and write operations for Matrix Market files in R. It supports both sparse and dense matrix formats. Peer-reviewed at 'rOpenSci' (< https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/606>).

Call 'BEAST2'

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'BEAST2' is a command-line tool. This package provides a way to call 'BEAST2' from an 'R' function call.

'Programmatic Interface to the 'openfisheries.org' API'

A programmatic interface to 'openfisheries.org'. This package is part of the 'rOpenSci' suite ( http://ropensci.org).

Model Comparison Using 'babette'

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'mcbette' allows to do a Bayesian model comparison over some site and clock models, using 'babette' (< https://github.com/ropensci/babette/>).

NASA POWER API Client

An API client for NASA POWER global meteorology, surface solar energy and climatology data API. POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources) data are freely available for download with varying spatial resolutions dependent on the original data and with several temporal resolutions depending on the POWER parameter and community. This work is funded through the NASA Earth Science Directorate Applied Science Program. For more on the data themselves, the methodologies used in creating, a web-based data viewer and web access, please see < https://power.larc.nasa.gov/>.

Preliminary Visualisation of Data

Create preliminary exploratory data visualisations of an entire dataset to identify problems or unexpected features using 'ggplot2'.

Automated Cleaning of Occurrence Records from Biological Collections

Automated flagging of common spatial and temporal errors in biological and paleontological collection data, for the use in conservation, ecology and paleontology. Includes automated tests to easily flag (and exclude) records assigned to country or province centroid, the open ocean, the headquarters of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, urban areas or the location of biodiversity institutions (museums, zoos, botanical gardens, universities). Furthermore identifies per species outlier coordinates, zero coordinates, identical latitude/longitude and invalid coordinates. Also implements an algorithm to identify data sets with a significant proportion of rounded coordinates. Especially suited for large data sets. The reference for the methodology is: Zizka et al. (2019) .

Make Fake Data

Make fake data that looks realistic, supporting addresses, person names, dates, times, colors, coordinates, currencies, digital object identifiers ('DOIs'), jobs, phone numbers, 'DNA' sequences, doubles and integers from distributions and within a range.
