A SPARQL Client for R

Provides a client for running SPARQL queries directly from R. SPARQL (short for SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is a query language used to retrieve and manipulate data stored in RDF (Resource Description Framework) format.

Display Tournament Fixtures using Knock Out and Round Robin Techniques

Use of Knock Out and Round Robin Techniques in preparing tournament fixtures as discussed in the Book Health and Physical Education by 'Dr. V K Sharma'(2018,ISBN:978-93-5272-134-4).

Datasets for Spatial Analysis

Diverse spatial datasets for demonstrating, benchmarking and teaching spatial data analysis. It includes R data of class sf (defined by the package 'sf'), Spatial ('sp'), and nb ('spdep'). Unlike other spatial data packages such as 'rnaturalearth' and 'maps', it also contains data stored in a range of file formats including GeoJSON and GeoPackage, but from version 2.3.4, no longer ESRI Shapefile - use GeoPackage instead. Some of the datasets are designed to illustrate specific analysis techniques. cycle_hire() and cycle_hire_osm(), for example, is designed to illustrate point pattern analysis techniques.

Joint Segmentation of Correlated Time Series

It contains a function designed to the joint segmentation in the mean of several correlated series. The method is described in the paper X. Collilieux, E. Lebarbier and S. Robin. A factor model approach for the joint segmentation with between-series correlation (2015) .

The Davies Quantile Function

Various utilities for the Davies distribution.

Example Data Sets for Causal Inference Textbooks

Example data sets to run the example problems from causal inference textbooks. Currently, contains data sets for Huntington-Klein, Nick (2021 and 2025) "The Effect" < https://theeffectbook.net>, first and second edition, Cunningham, Scott (2021 and 2025, ISBN-13: 978-0-300-25168-5) "Causal Inference: The Mixtape", and Hernán, Miguel and James Robins (2020) "Causal Inference: What If" < https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/miguel-hernan/causal-inference-book/>.

Tools for the 'Parallel' Package

Miscellaneous utilities for parallelizing large computations. Alternative to MapReduce. File splitting and distributed operations such as sort and aggregate. "Software Alchemy" method for parallelizing most statistical methods, presented in N. Matloff, Parallel Computation for Data Science, Chapman and Hall, 2015. Includes a debugging aid.

Optimisation with Continuous Convex Piecewise (Linear and Quadratic) Functions

Continuous convex piecewise linear (ccpl) resp. quadratic (ccpq) functions can be implemented with sorted breakpoints and slopes. This includes functions that are ccpl (resp. ccpq) on a convex set (i.e. an interval or a point) and infinite out of the domain. These functions can be very useful for a large class of optimisation problems. Efficient manipulation (such as log(N) insertion) of such data structure is obtained with map standard template library of C++ (that hides balanced trees). This package is a wrapper on such a class based on Rcpp modules.

Discrimination/Classification in very high dimension with linear and quadratic rules.

This package provides an implementation of Linear discriminant analysis and quadratic discriminant analysis that works fine in very high dimension (when there are many more variables than observations).

Poisson Lognormal Models

The Poisson-lognormal model and variants (Chiquet, Mariadassou and Robin, 2021 ) can be used for a variety of multivariate problems when count data are at play, including principal component analysis for count data, discriminant analysis, model-based clustering and network inference. Implements variational algorithms to fit such models accompanied with a set of functions for visualization and diagnostic.
