Check if a Remote Computer is Up

Check if a remote computer is up. It can either just call the system ping command, or check a specified TCP port.

Recognize and Parse Dates in Various Formats, Including All ISO 8601 Formats

Parse dates automatically, without the need of specifying a format. Currently it includes the git date parser. It can also recognize and parse all ISO 8601 formats.

List, Query, Manipulate System Processes

List, query and manipulate all system processes, on 'Windows', 'Linux' and 'macOS'.

E-Statistics: Multivariate Inference via the Energy of Data

E-statistics (energy) tests and statistics for multivariate and univariate inference, including distance correlation, one-sample, two-sample, and multi-sample tests for comparing multivariate distributions, are implemented. Measuring and testing multivariate independence based on distance correlation, partial distance correlation, multivariate goodness-of-fit tests, k-groups and hierarchical clustering based on energy distance, testing for multivariate normality, distance components (disco) for non-parametric analysis of structured data, and other energy statistics/methods are implemented.

Username, Full Name, Email Address, 'GitHub' Username of the Current User

Look up the username and full name of the current user, the current user's email address and 'GitHub' username, using various sources of system and configuration information.

Pretty, Human Readable Formatting of Quantities

Pretty, human readable formatting of quantities. Time intervals: '1337000' -> '15d 11h 23m 20s'. Vague time intervals: '2674000' -> 'about a month ago'. Bytes: '1337' -> '1.34 kB'. Rounding: '99' with 3 significant digits -> '99.0' p-values: '0.00001' -> '<0.0001'. Colors: '#FF0000' -> 'red'. Quantities: '1239437' -> '1.24 M'.

Portable File Locking

Place an exclusive or shared lock on a file. It uses 'LockFile' on Windows and 'fcntl' locks on Unix-like systems.

3D Visualization Using OpenGL

Provides medium to high level functions for 3D interactive graphics, including functions modelled on base graphics (plot3d(), etc.) as well as functions for constructing representations of geometric objects (cube3d(), etc.). Output may be on screen using OpenGL, or to various standard 3D file formats including WebGL, PLY, OBJ, STL as well as 2D image formats, including PNG, Postscript, SVG, PGF.

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".

Basic R Input Output

Functions to handle basic input output, these functions always read and write UTF-8 (8-bit Unicode Transformation Format) files and provide more explicit control over line endings.
