Response Time Distributions

Provides response time distributions (density/PDF, distribution function/CDF, quantile function, and random generation): (a) Ratcliff diffusion model (Ratcliff & McKoon, 2008, ) based on C code by Andreas and Jochen Voss and (b) linear ballistic accumulator (LBA; Brown & Heathcote, 2008, ) with different distributions underlying the drift rate.

Various Plotting Functions

Lots of plots, various labeling, axis and color scaling functions. The author/maintainer died in September 2023.

Generalized Linear Models with Clustering

Binomial and Poisson regression for clustered data, fixed and random effects with bootstrapping.

Methods for Accessing Huge Amounts of Data [deprecated]

DEPRECATED. Do not start building new projects based on this package. Cross-platform alternatives are the following packages: bigmemory (CRAN), ff (CRAN), BufferedMatrix (Bioconductor). The main usage of it was inside the aroma.affymetrix package. (The package currently provides a class representing a matrix where the actual data is stored in a binary format on the local file system. This way the size limit of the data is set by the file system and not the memory.)

Friendly R Startup Configuration

Adds support for R startup configuration via '.Renviron.d' and '.Rprofile.d' directories in addition to '.Renviron' and '.Rprofile' files. This makes it possible to keep private / secret environment variables separate from other environment variables. It also makes it easier to share specific startup settings by simply copying a file to a directory.

A Probe-Level Data File Format Used by 'aroma.affymetrix' [deprecated]

DEPRECATED. Do not start building new projects based on this package. (The (in-house) APD file format was initially developed to store Affymetrix probe-level data, e.g. normalized CEL intensities. Chip types can be added to APD file and similar to methods in the affxparser package, this package provides methods to read APDs organized by units (probesets). In addition, the probe elements can be arranged optimally such that the elements are guaranteed to be read in order when, for instance, data is read unit by unit. This speeds up the read substantially. This package is supporting the Aroma framework and should not be used elsewhere.)

Sequence Globally Unique Identifier (SEGUID) Checksums

Implementation of the original Sequence Globally Unique Identifier (SEGUID) algorithm [Babnigg and Giometti (2006) ] and SEGUID v2 (< https://www.seguid.org>), which extends SEGUID v1 with support for linear, circular, single- and double-stranded biological sequences, e.g. DNA, RNA, and proteins.

Copy-Number Analysis of Large Microarray Data Sets

Methods for analyzing DNA copy-number data. Specifically, this package implements the multi-source copy-number normalization (MSCN) method for normalizing copy-number data obtained on various platforms and technologies. It also implements the TumorBoost method for normalizing paired tumor-normal SNP data.

Data Only: Algorithmic Complexity of Short Strings (Computed via Coding Theorem Method)

Data only package providing the algorithmic complexity of short strings, computed using the coding theorem method. For a given set of symbols in a string, all possible or a large number of random samples of Turing machines (TM) with a given number of states (e.g., 5) and number of symbols corresponding to the number of symbols in the strings were simulated until they reached a halting state or failed to end. This package contains data on 4.5 million strings from length 1 to 12 simulated on TMs with 2, 4, 5, 6, and 9 symbols. The complexity of the string corresponds to the distribution of the halting states of the TMs.

Test Suite for 'Future API' Backends

Backends implementing the 'Future' API , as defined by the 'future' package, should use the tests provided by this package to validate that they meet the minimal requirements of the 'Future' API. The tests can be performed easily from within R or from outside of R from the command line making it straightforward to include them in package tests and in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines.
