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.

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.

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.

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.

Linear Mixed-Effects Models using 'Eigen' and S4

Fit linear and generalized linear mixed-effects models. The models and their components are represented using S4 classes and methods. The core computational algorithms are implemented using the 'Eigen' C++ library for numerical linear algebra and 'RcppEigen' "glue".

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.

'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 so 'Armadillo' version 14.6.3 is included as a fallback when an R package forces the C++11 standard. Package authors should set a '#define' to select the 'current' version, or select the 'legacy' version (also chosen as default) if they must. See 'GitHub issue #475' for details. 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'.

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 .

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.
