Manipulating Labelled Data

Work with labelled data imported from 'SPSS' or 'Stata' with 'haven' or 'foreign'. This package provides useful functions to deal with "haven_labelled" and "haven_labelled_spss" classes introduced by 'haven' package.

Mixed-Effect Models, with or without Spatial Random Effects

Inference based on models with or without spatially-correlated random effects, multivariate responses, or non-Gaussian random effects (e.g., Beta). Variation in residual variance (heteroscedasticity) can itself be represented by a mixed-effect model. Both classical geostatistical models (Rousset and Ferdy 2014 ), and Markov random field models on irregular grids (as considered in the 'INLA' package, < https://www.r-inla.org>), can be fitted, with distinct computational procedures exploiting the sparse matrix representations for the latter case and other autoregressive models. Laplace approximations are used for likelihood or restricted likelihood. Penalized quasi-likelihood and other variants discussed in the h-likelihood literature (Lee and Nelder 2001 ) are also implemented.

Additional Binary Operators

A set of binary operators for common tasks such as regex manipulation.

Syntax Highlighter

Syntax highlighter for R code based on the results of the R parser. Rendering in HTML and latex markup. Custom Sweave driver performing syntax highlighting of R code chunks.

Extension of `data.frame`

Fast aggregation of large data (e.g. 100GB in RAM), fast ordered joins, fast add/modify/delete of columns by group using no copies at all, list columns, friendly and fast character-separated-value read/write. Offers a natural and flexible syntax, for faster development.

Quick Serialization of R Objects

Provides functions for quickly writing and reading any R object to and from disk.

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.

Airborne LiDAR Data Manipulation and Visualization for Forestry Applications

Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) interface for data manipulation and visualization. Read/write 'las' and 'laz' files, computation of metrics in area based approach, point filtering, artificial point reduction, classification from geographic data, normalization, individual tree segmentation and other manipulations.

Manipulations of Triangular Meshes Based on the 'VCGLIB' API

Operations on triangular meshes based on 'VCGLIB'. This package integrates nicely with the R-package 'rgl' to render the meshes processed by 'Rvcg'. The Visualization and Computer Graphics Library (VCG for short) is an open source portable C++ templated library for manipulation, processing and displaying with OpenGL of triangle and tetrahedral meshes. The library, composed by more than 100k lines of code, is released under the GPL license, and it is the base of most of the software tools of the Visual Computing Lab of the Italian National Research Council Institute ISTI < https://vcg.isti.cnr.it/>, like 'metro' and 'MeshLab'. The 'VCGLIB' source is pulled from trunk < https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/vcglib> and patched to work with options determined by the configure script as well as to work with the header files included by 'RcppEigen'.

Data and Function to Work with Emojis

Contains data about emojis with relevant metadata, and functions to work with emojis when they are in strings.
