A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions

A collection of fast (utility) functions for data analysis. Column and row wise means, medians, variances, minimums, maximums, many t, F and G-square tests, many regressions (normal, logistic, Poisson), are some of the many fast functions.

Snowball Stemmers Based on the C 'libstemmer' UTF-8 Library

An R interface to the C 'libstemmer' library that implements Porter's word stemming algorithm for collapsing words to a common root to aid comparison of vocabulary. Currently supported languages are Arabic, Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Lithuanian, Nepali, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil and Turkish.

Fast R and C++ Access to NIfTI Images

Provides very fast read and write access to images stored in the NIfTI-1, NIfTI-2 and ANALYZE-7.5 formats, with seamless synchronisation of in-memory image objects between compiled C and interpreted R code. Also provides a simple image viewer, and a C/C++ API that can be used by other packages. Not to be confused with 'RNiftyReg', which performs image registration and applies spatial transformations.

Lasso and Elastic-Net Regularized Generalized Linear Models

Extremely efficient procedures for fitting the entire lasso or elastic-net regularization path for linear regression, logistic and multinomial regression models, Poisson regression, Cox model, multiple-response Gaussian, and the grouped multinomial regression; see and . There are two new and important additions. The family argument can be a GLM family object, which opens the door to any programmed family (). This comes with a modest computational cost, so when the built-in families suffice, they should be used instead. The other novelty is the relax option, which refits each of the active sets in the path unpenalized. The algorithm uses cyclical coordinate descent in a path-wise fashion, as described in the papers cited.

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.

Interface to the 'nanoarrow' 'C' Library

Provides an 'R' interface to the 'nanoarrow' 'C' library and the 'Apache Arrow' application binary interface. Functions to import and export 'ArrowArray', 'ArrowSchema', and 'ArrowArrayStream' 'C' structures to and from 'R' objects are provided alongside helpers to facilitate zero-copy data transfer among 'R' bindings to libraries implementing the 'Arrow' 'C' data interface.

Solvers for Initial Value Problems of Differential Equations ('ODE', 'DAE', 'DDE')

Functions that solve initial value problems of a system of first-order ordinary differential equations ('ODE'), of partial differential equations ('PDE'), of differential algebraic equations ('DAE'), and of delay differential equations. The functions provide an interface to the FORTRAN functions 'lsoda', 'lsodar', 'lsode', 'lsodes' of the 'ODEPACK' collection, to the FORTRAN functions 'dvode', 'zvode' and 'daspk' and a C-implementation of solvers of the 'Runge-Kutta' family with fixed or variable time steps. The package contains routines designed for solving 'ODEs' resulting from 1-D, 2-D and 3-D partial differential equations ('PDE') that have been converted to 'ODEs' by numerical differencing.

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.

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 .

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.
