Multivariate Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Mining

Exploratory data analysis methods to summarize, visualize and describe datasets. The main principal component methods are available, those with the largest potential in terms of applications: principal component analysis (PCA) when variables are quantitative, correspondence analysis (CA) and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) when variables are categorical, Multiple Factor Analysis when variables are structured in groups, etc. and hierarchical cluster analysis.

High Performance Colour Space Manipulation

The encoding of colour can be handled in many different ways, using different colour spaces. As different colour spaces have different uses, efficient conversion between these representations are important. The 'farver' package provides a set of functions that gives access to very fast colour space conversion and comparisons implemented in C++, and offers speed improvements over the 'convertColor' function in the 'grDevices' package.

'Rcpp' Integration for 'GNU GSL' Vectors and Matrices

'Rcpp' integration for 'GNU GSL' vectors and matrices The 'GNU Scientific Library' (or 'GSL') is a collection of numerical routines for scientific computing. It is particularly useful for C and C++ programs as it provides a standard C interface to a wide range of mathematical routines. There are over 1000 functions in total with an extensive test suite. The 'RcppGSL' package provides an easy-to-use interface between 'GSL' data structures and R using concepts from 'Rcpp' which is itself a package that eases the interfaces between R and C++. This package also serves as a prime example of how to build a package that uses 'Rcpp' to connect to another third-party library. The 'autoconf' script, 'inline' plugin and example package can all be used as a stanza to write a similar package against another library.

Extension to 'ggplot2'

The R package 'ggplot2' is a plotting system based on the grammar of graphics. 'GGally' extends 'ggplot2' by adding several functions to reduce the complexity of combining geometric objects with transformed data. Some of these functions include a pairwise plot matrix, a two group pairwise plot matrix, a parallel coordinates plot, a survival plot, and several functions to plot networks.

Base Package for Phylogenetic Structures and Comparative Data

Provides a base S4 class for comparative methods, incorporating one or more trees and trait data.

Functions to Inline C, C++, Fortran Function Calls from R

Functionality to dynamically define R functions and S4 methods with 'inlined' C, C++ or Fortran code supporting the .C and .Call calling conventions.

Take Screenshots of Web Pages

Takes screenshots of web pages, including Shiny applications and R Markdown documents.

Miscellaneous Functions for 'SciViews::R'

Functions required for the 'SciViews::R' dialect or for general use: manage a temporary environment attached to the search path, define synonyms for R functions using aka(), test if 'Aqua', 'Mac', 'Win' ... Show progress bar, etc.

Fast and Stable Fitting of Generalized Linear Models using 'RcppEigen'

Fits generalized linear models efficiently using 'RcppEigen'. The iteratively reweighted least squares implementation utilizes the step-halving approach of Marschner (2011) to help safeguard against convergence issues.

Integration to 'Apache' 'Arrow'

'Apache' 'Arrow' < https://arrow.apache.org/> is a cross-language development platform for in-memory data. It specifies a standardized language-independent columnar memory format for flat and hierarchical data, organized for efficient analytic operations on modern hardware. This package provides an interface to the 'Arrow C++' library.
