Utilities for Scheduling Functions to Execute Later with Event Loops

Executes arbitrary R or C functions some time after the current time, after the R execution stack has emptied. The functions are scheduled in an event loop.

Primal or Dual Cone Projections with Routines for Constrained Regression

Routines doing cone projection and quadratic programming, as well as doing estimation and inference for constrained parametric regression and shape-restricted regression problems. See Mary C. Meyer (2013) for more details.

Nonlinear Root Finding, Equilibrium and Steady-State Analysis of Ordinary Differential Equations

Routines to find the root of nonlinear functions, and to perform steady-state and equilibrium analysis of ordinary differential equations (ODE). Includes routines that: (1) generate gradient and jacobian matrices (full and banded), (2) find roots of non-linear equations by the 'Newton-Raphson' method, (3) estimate steady-state conditions of a system of (differential) equations in full, banded or sparse form, using the 'Newton-Raphson' method, or by dynamically running, (4) solve the steady-state conditions for uni-and multicomponent 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D partial differential equations, that have been converted to ordinary differential equations by numerical differencing (using the method-of-lines approach). Includes fortran code.

Data Manipulation Functions Implemented in C

Basic functions, implemented in C, for large data manipulation. Fast vectorised ifelse()/nested if()/switch() functions, psum()/pprod() functions equivalent to pmin()/pmax() plus others which are missing from base R. Most of these functions are callable at C level.

R Interface to RNG with Multiple Streams

Provides an interface to the C implementation of the random number generator with multiple independent streams developed by L'Ecuyer et al (2002). The main purpose of this package is to enable the use of this random number generator in parallel R applications.

Split, Combine and Compress PDF Files

Content-preserving transformations transformations of PDF files such as split, combine, and compress. This package interfaces directly to the 'qpdf' C++ library < https://qpdf.sourceforge.io/> and does not require any command line utilities. Note that 'qpdf' does not read actual content from PDF files: to extract text and data you need the 'pdftools' package.

General Purpose Optimization in R using C++

Perform general purpose optimization in R using C++. A unified wrapper interface is provided to call C functions of the five optimization algorithms ('Nelder-Mead', 'BFGS', 'CG', 'L-BFGS-B' and 'SANN') underlying optim().

A Replacement and Extension of the 'optim' Function

Provides a test of replacement and extension of the optim() function to unify and streamline optimization capabilities in R for smooth, possibly box constrained functions of several or many parameters. This version has a reduced set of methods and is intended to be on CRAN.

Quadratic Programming Solver using the 'OSQP' Library

Provides bindings to the 'OSQP' solver. The 'OSQP' solver is a numerical optimization package for solving convex quadratic programs written in 'C' and based on the alternating direction method of multipliers. See for details.

Derivative-Free Optimization Algorithms by Quadratic Approximation

Derivative-free optimization by quadratic approximation based on an interface to Fortran implementations by M. J. D. Powell.
