C-Statistics for Risk Prediction Models with Censored Survival Data

Performs inference for C of risk prediction models with censored survival data, using the method proposed by Uno et al. (2011) . Inference for the difference in C between two competing prediction models is also implemented.

Tidy C++ Header-Only Definitions for Parts of the C API of R

Core parts of the C API of R are wrapped in a C++ namespace via a set of inline functions giving a tidier representation of the underlying data structures and functionality using a header-only implementation without additional dependencies.

Adaptive Multivariate Integration over Hypercubes

R wrappers around the cubature C library of Steven G. Johnson for adaptive multivariate integration over hypercubes and the Cuba C library of Thomas Hahn for deterministic and Monte Carlo integration. Scalar and vector interfaces for cubature and Cuba routines are provided; the vector interfaces are highly recommended as demonstrated in the package vignette.

The 'HighFive' 'C++' Interface to 'HDF5'

A modern idiomatic header-only 'C++'' interface for 'libhdf5'. Original software can be found at < https://github.com/highfive-devs/highfive/>.

'ViennaCL' C++ Header Files

'ViennaCL' is a free open-source linear algebra library for computations on many-core architectures (GPUs, MIC) and multi-core CPUs. The library is written in C++ and supports 'CUDA', 'OpenCL', and 'OpenMP' (including switches at runtime). I have placed these libraries in this package as a more efficient distribution system for CRAN. The idea is that you can write a package that depends on the 'ViennaCL' library and yet you do not need to distribute a copy of this code with your package.

C-Like 'getopt' Behavior

Package designed to be used with Rscript to write '#!' shebang scripts that accept short and long flags/options. Many users will prefer using instead the packages optparse or argparse which add extra features like automatically generated help option and usage, support for default values, positional argument support, etc.

Open Source Geometry Engine ('GEOS') C API

Provides the Open Source Geometry Engine ('GEOS') as a C API that can be used to write high-performance C and C++ geometry operations using R as an interface. Headers are provided to make linking to and using these functions from C++ code as easy and as safe as possible. This package contains an internal copy of the 'GEOS' library to guarantee the best possible consistency on multiple platforms.

Approximate String Matching, Fuzzy Text Search, and String Distance Functions

Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native 'match' function. Also offers fuzzy text search based on various string distance measures. Can calculate various string distances based on edits (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q- gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer vectors representing generic sequences. This package is built for speed and runs in parallel by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well. Reference: MPJ van der Loo (2014) .

C++ Classes to Embed R in C++ (and C) Applications

C++ classes to embed R in C++ (and C) applications A C++ class providing the R interpreter is offered by this package making it easier to have "R inside" your C++ application. As R itself is embedded into your application, a shared library build of R is required. This works on Linux, OS X and even on Windows provided you use the same tools used to build R itself. Numerous examples are provided in the nine subdirectories of the examples/ directory of the installed package: standard, 'mpi' (for parallel computing), 'qt' (showing how to embed 'RInside' inside a Qt GUI application), 'wt' (showing how to build a "web-application" using the Wt toolkit), 'armadillo' (for 'RInside' use with 'RcppArmadillo'), 'eigen' (for 'RInside' use with 'RcppEigen'), and 'c_interface' for a basic C interface and 'Ruby' illustration. The examples use 'GNUmakefile(s)' with GNU extensions, so a GNU make is required (and will use the 'GNUmakefile' automatically). 'Doxygen'-generated documentation of the C++ classes is available at the 'RInside' website as well.

Wrapper for 'lz-string' 'C++' Library

Provide access to the 'lz-string' < http://pieroxy.net/blog/pages/lz-string/index.html> 'C++' library for Lempel-Ziv (LZ) based compression and decompression of strings.
