Mixture Models for Clustering and Classification

An implementation of 14 parsimonious mixture models for model-based clustering or model-based classification. Gaussian, Student's t, generalized hyperbolic, variance-gamma or skew-t mixtures are available. All approaches work with missing data. Celeux and Govaert (1995) , Browne and McNicholas (2014) , Browne and McNicholas (2015) .

Simple Key-Value Database

Implements a simple key-value style database where character string keys are associated with data values that are stored on the disk. A simple interface is provided for inserting, retrieving, and deleting data from the database. Utilities are provided that allow 'filehash' databases to be treated much like environments and lists are already used in R. These utilities are provided to encourage interactive and exploratory analysis on large datasets. Three different file formats for representing the database are currently available and new formats can easily be incorporated by third parties for use in the 'filehash' framework.

Tools for Working with Posterior Distributions

Provides useful tools for both users and developers of packages for fitting Bayesian models or working with output from Bayesian models. The primary goals of the package are to: (a) Efficiently convert between many different useful formats of draws (samples) from posterior or prior distributions. (b) Provide consistent methods for operations commonly performed on draws, for example, subsetting, binding, or mutating draws. (c) Provide various summaries of draws in convenient formats. (d) Provide lightweight implementations of state of the art posterior inference diagnostics. References: Vehtari et al. (2021) .

Analysis of Music and Speech

Analyze music and speech, extract features like MFCCs, handle wave files and their representation in various ways, read mp3, read midi, perform steps of a transcription, ... Also contains functions ported from the 'rastamat' 'Matlab' package.

Tools for Single Cell Genomics

A toolkit for quality control, analysis, and exploration of single cell RNA sequencing data. 'Seurat' aims to enable users to identify and interpret sources of heterogeneity from single cell transcriptomic measurements, and to integrate diverse types of single cell data. See Satija R, Farrell J, Gennert D, et al (2015) , Macosko E, Basu A, Satija R, et al (2015) , Stuart T, Butler A, et al (2019) , and Hao, Hao, et al (2020) for more details.

Competing Risks Estimation

Provides an intuitive interface for working with the competing risk endpoints. The package wraps the 'cmprsk' package, and exports functions for univariate cumulative incidence estimates and competing risk regression. Methods follow those introduced in Fine and Gray (1999) .

Social Relation Model (SRM) Analyses for Single or Multiple Groups

Social Relation Model (SRM) analyses for single or multiple round-robin groups are performed. These analyses are either based on one manifest variable, one latent construct measured by two manifest variables, two manifest variables and their bivariate relations, or two latent constructs each measured by two manifest variables. Within-group t-tests for variance components and covariances are provided for single groups. For multiple groups two types of significance tests are provided: between-groups t-tests (as in SOREMO) and enhanced standard errors based on Lashley and Bond (1997) . Handling for missing values is provided.

Normal aka Gaussian 1-d Mixture Models

Onedimensional Normal (i.e. Gaussian) Mixture Models (S3) Classes, for, e.g., density estimation or clustering algorithms research and teaching; providing the widely used Marron-Wand densities. Efficient random number generation and graphics. Fitting to data by efficient ML (Maximum Likelihood) or traditional EM estimation.

A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions

A collection of fast (utility) functions for data analysis. Column and row wise means, medians, variances, minimums, maximums, many t, F and G-square tests, many regressions (normal, logistic, Poisson), are some of the many fast functions.

Polygon Clipping

R port of Angus Johnson's open source library 'Clipper'. Performs polygon clipping operations (intersection, union, set minus, set difference) for polygonal regions of arbitrary complexity, including holes. Computes offset polygons (spatial buffer zones, morphological dilations, Minkowski dilations) for polygonal regions and polygonal lines. Computes Minkowski Sum of general polygons. There is a function for removing self-intersections from polygon data.
