Bindings for the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library

Provides bindings to the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library ('GDAL') (>= 1.11.4) and access to projection/transformation operations from the 'PROJ' library. Please note that 'rgdal' will be retired during October 2023, plan transition to sf/stars/'terra' functions using 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' at your earliest convenience (see < https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html> and earlier blogs for guidance). Use is made of classes defined in the 'sp' package. Raster and vector map data can be imported into R, and raster and vector 'sp' objects exported. The 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' libraries are external to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly installed first; it is important that 'GDAL' < 3 be matched with 'PROJ' < 6. From 'rgdal' 1.5-8, installed with to 'GDAL' >=3, 'PROJ' >=6 and 'sp' >= 1.4, coordinate reference systems use 'WKT2_2019' strings, not 'PROJ' strings. 'Windows' and 'macOS' binaries (including 'GDAL', 'PROJ' and their dependencies) are provided on 'CRAN'.

Get the Same, Personal, Free 'TCP' Port over and over

An R implementation of the cross-platform, language-independent "port4me" algorithm (< https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/port4me>), which (1) finds a free Transmission Control Protocol ('TCP') port in [1024,65535] that the user can open, (2) is designed to work in multi-user environments, (3), gives different users, different ports, (4) gives the user the same port over time with high probability, (5) gives different ports for different software tools, and (6) requires no configuration.

Open Source OCR Engine

Bindings to 'tesseract': 'tesseract' (< https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract>) is a powerful optical character recognition (OCR) engine that supports over 100 languages. The engine is highly configurable in order to tune the detection algorithms and obtain the best possible results.

Split, Combine and Compress PDF Files

Bindings to 'qpdf': 'qpdf' (< https://qpdf.sourceforge.io/>) is a an open-source PDF rendering library that allows to conduct content-preserving transformations of PDF files such as split, combine, and compress PDF files.

Health Economic Simulation Modeling and Decision Analysis

A modular and computationally efficient R package for parameterizing, simulating, and analyzing health economic simulation models. The package supports cohort discrete time state transition models (Briggs et al. 1998) , N-state partitioned survival models (Glasziou et al. 1990) , and individual-level continuous time state transition models (Siebert et al. 2012) , encompassing both Markov (time-homogeneous and time-inhomogeneous) and semi-Markov processes. Decision uncertainty from a cost-effectiveness analysis is quantified with standard graphical and tabular summaries of a probabilistic sensitivity analysis (Claxton et al. 2005, Barton et al. 2008) , . Use of C++ and data.table make individual-patient simulation, probabilistic sensitivity analysis, and incorporation of patient heterogeneity fast.

Earth Observation Data Cubes from Satellite Image Collections

Processing collections of Earth observation images as on-demand multispectral, multitemporal raster data cubes. Users define cubes by spatiotemporal extent, resolution, and spatial reference system and let 'gdalcubes' automatically apply cropping, reprojection, and resampling using the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' ('GDAL'). Implemented functions on data cubes include reduction over space and time, applying arithmetic expressions on pixel band values, moving window aggregates over time, filtering by space, time, bands, and predicates on pixel values, exporting data cubes as 'netCDF' or 'GeoTIFF' files, plotting, and extraction from spatial and or spatiotemporal features. All computational parts are implemented in C++, linking to the 'GDAL', 'netCDF', 'CURL', and 'SQLite' libraries. See Appel and Pebesma (2019) for further details.

R Inputs/Outputs for Tractography

An input-output interface for reading in and writing out common VTK formats that store tractography data. This data comes in the form of 3D polygons with possibly attributes at each point. These are obtained via tracking algorithms from diffusion MRI and are a non-invasive way of studying brain structural connectivity.

Open 'ModPlug' Tracker Port

Tracker music uses audio samples and pattern tables to organise musical compositions. Such music is stored in module files. This package reads, renders and plays module files using the 'libopenmpt' library < https://lib.openmpt.org/>.

Interface to 'Phylocom'

Interface to 'Phylocom' (< https://phylodiversity.net/phylocom/>), a library for analysis of 'phylogenetic' community structure and character evolution. Includes low level methods for interacting with the three executables, as well as higher level interfaces for methods like 'aot', 'ecovolve', 'bladj', 'phylomatic', and more.

'Rcpp' Bindings for the 'Corpus Workbench' ('CWB')
