C++ Implementations of Phylogenetic Cladogenesis Calculations

Various cladogenesis-related calculations that are slow in pure R are implemented in C++ with Rcpp. These include the calculation of the probability of various scenarios for the inheritance of geographic range at the divergence events on a phylogenetic tree, and other calculations necessary for models which are not continuous-time markov chains (CTMC), but where change instead occurs instantaneously at speciation events. Typically these models must assess the probability of every possible combination of (ancestor state, left descendent state, right descendent state). This means that there are up to (# of states)^3 combinations to investigate, and in biogeographical models, there can easily be hundreds of states, so calculation time becomes an issue. C++ implementation plus clever tricks (many combinations can be eliminated a priori) can greatly speed the computation time over naive R implementations.

Fast C++ Primitives for the 'NeuroAnatomy Toolbox'

Fast functions implemented in C++ via 'Rcpp' to support the 'NeuroAnatomy Toolbox' ('nat') ecosystem. These functions provide large speed-ups for basic manipulation of neuronal skeletons over pure R functions found in the 'nat' package. The expectation is that end users will not use this package directly, but instead the 'nat' package will automatically use routines from this package when it is available to enable large performance gains.

C++ ODE Solvers Compiled on-Demand

Wraps the Boost odeint library for integration of differential equations.

Sparse Matrix C++ Classes Including Sparse Cholesky LDL Decomposition of Symmetric Matrices

'C++' classes for sparse matrix methods including implementation of sparse LDL decomposition of symmetric matrices and solvers described by Timothy A. Davis (2016) < https://fossies.org/linux/SuiteSparse/LDL/Doc/ldl_userguide.pdf>. Provides a set of C++ classes for basic sparse matrix specification and linear algebra, and a class to implement sparse LDL decomposition and solvers. See < https://github.com/samuel-watson/SparseChol> for details.

Toolbox for Pseudo and Quasi Random Number Generation and Random Generator Tests

Provides (1) pseudo random generators - general linear congruential generators, multiple recursive generators and generalized feedback shift register (SF-Mersenne Twister algorithm () and WELL () generators); (2) quasi random generators - the Torus algorithm, the Sobol sequence, the Halton sequence (including the Van der Corput sequence) and (3) some generator tests - the gap test, the serial test, the poker test, see, e.g., Gentle (2003) . Take a look at the Distribution task view of types and tests of random number generators. The package can be provided without the 'rngWELL' dependency on demand. Package in Memoriam of Diethelm and Barbara Wuertz.

Bayesian Applied Regression Modeling via Stan

Estimates previously compiled regression models using the 'rstan' package, which provides the R interface to the Stan C++ library for Bayesian estimation. Users specify models via the customary R syntax with a formula and data.frame plus some additional arguments for priors.

Exponential Integral and Incomplete Gamma Function

The exponential integrals E_1(x), E_2(x), E_n(x) and Ei(x), and the incomplete gamma function G(a, x) defined for negative values of its first argument. The package also gives easy access to the underlying C routines through an API; see the package vignette for details. A test package included in sub-directory example_API provides an implementation. C routines derived from the GNU Scientific Library < https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/>.

'R' Bindings to the 'C' Grammar for Tree-Sitter

Provides bindings to a 'C' grammar for Tree-sitter, to be used alongside the 'treesitter' package. Tree-sitter builds concrete syntax trees for source files and can efficiently update them or generate code like producing R C API wrappers from C functions, structs and global definitions from header files.

'C++' Header Library for Ordinary Differential Equations

A 'C++' header library for using the 'libsoda-cxx' library with R. The 'C++' header reimplements the 'lsoda' function from the 'ODEPACK' library for solving initial value problems for first order ordinary differential equations (Hindmarsh, 1982; < https://computing.llnl.gov/sites/default/files/ODEPACK_pub1_u88007.pdf>). The 'C++' header can be used by other R packages by linking against this package. The 'C++' functions can be called inline using 'Rcpp'. Finally, the package provides an 'ode' function to call from R.

R Bindings to the 'Astronomy Engine' C Library

Provides access to the 'Astronomy Engine' C library (< https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy>) by Don Cross. The library calculates positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, and predicts astronomical events such as rise/set times, lunar phases, equinoxes, solstices, eclipses, and transits. It is based on the 'VSOP87' planetary model and is accurate to within approximately one arcminute. This package bundles the single-file C source so that other R packages can link against it via 'LinkingTo' without shipping their own copy.
