Adaptive Multivariate Integration over Hypercubes

R wrappers around the cubature C library of Steven G. Johnson for adaptive multivariate integration over hypercubes and the Cuba C library of Thomas Hahn for deterministic and Monte Carlo integration. Scalar and vector interfaces for cubature and Cuba routines are provided; the vector interfaces are highly recommended as demonstrated in the package vignette.

Limited Memory BFGS Minimizer with Bounds on Parameters with optim() 'C' Interface

Interfacing to Nocedal et al. L-BFGS-B.3.0 (See < http://users.iems.northwestern.edu/~nocedal/lbfgsb.html>) limited memory BFGS minimizer with bounds on parameters. This is a fork of 'lbfgsb3'. This registers a 'R' compatible 'C' interface to L-BFGS-B.3.0 that uses the same function types and optimization as the optim() function (see writing 'R' extensions and source for details). This package also adds more stopping criteria as well as allowing the adjustment of more tolerances.

A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions II

A collection of fast statistical and utility functions for data analysis. Functions for regression, maximum likelihood, column-wise statistics and many more have been included. C++ has been utilized to speed up the functions. References: Tsagris M., Papadakis M. (2018). Taking R to its limits: 70+ tips. PeerJ Preprints 6:e26605v1 .

'Rapidjson' C++ Header Files

Provides JSON parsing capability through the 'Rapidjson' 'C++' header-only library.

Low-Level R to Java Interface

Low-level interface to Java VM very much like .C/.Call and friends. Allows creation of objects, calling methods and accessing fields.

Database Interface and 'MySQL' Driver for R

Legacy 'DBI' interface to 'MySQL' / 'MariaDB' based on old code ported from S-PLUS. A modern 'MySQL' client written in 'C++' is available from the 'RMariaDB' package.

Approximate String Matching, Fuzzy Text Search, and String Distance Functions

Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native 'match' function. Also offers fuzzy text search based on various string distance measures. Can calculate various string distances based on edits (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q- gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer vectors representing generic sequences. This package is built for speed and runs in parallel by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well. Reference: MPJ van der Loo (2014) .

Interface to 'Lp_solve' v. 5.5 to Solve Linear/Integer Programs

Lp_solve is freely available (under LGPL 2) software for solving linear, integer and mixed integer programs. In this implementation we supply a "wrapper" function in C and some R functions that solve general linear/integer problems, assignment problems, and transportation problems. This version calls lp_solve version 5.5.

'Rcpp' Integration for the 'Armadillo' Templated Linear Algebra Library

'Armadillo' is a templated C++ linear algebra library aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. It provides high-level syntax and functionality deliberately similar to Matlab. It is useful for algorithm development directly in C++, or quick conversion of research code into production environments. It provides efficient classes for vectors, matrices and cubes where dense and sparse matrices are supported. Integer, floating point and complex numbers are supported. A sophisticated expression evaluator (based on template meta-programming) automatically combines several operations to increase speed and efficiency. Dynamic evaluation automatically chooses optimal code paths based on detected matrix structures. Matrix decompositions are provided through integration with LAPACK, or one of its high performance drop-in replacements (such as 'MKL' or 'OpenBLAS'). It can automatically use 'OpenMP' multi-threading (parallelisation) to speed up computationally expensive operations. The 'RcppArmadillo' package includes the header files from the 'Armadillo' library; users do not need to install 'Armadillo' itself in order to use 'RcppArmadillo'. Starting from release 15.0.0, the minimum compilation standard is C++14. Since release 7.800.0, 'Armadillo' is licensed under Apache License 2; previous releases were under licensed as MPL 2.0 from version 3.800.0 onwards and LGPL-3 prior to that; 'RcppArmadillo' (the 'Rcpp' bindings/bridge to Armadillo) is licensed under the GNU GPL version 2 or later, as is the rest of 'Rcpp'.

Polygon Clipping

R port of Angus Johnson's open source library 'Clipper'. Performs polygon clipping operations (intersection, union, set minus, set difference) for polygonal regions of arbitrary complexity, including holes. Computes offset polygons (spatial buffer zones, morphological dilations, Minkowski dilations) for polygonal regions and polygonal lines. Computes Minkowski Sum of general polygons. There is a function for removing self-intersections from polygon data.
