'Rcpp' Integration for Numerical Computing Libraries

A collection of open source libraries for numerical computing (numerical integration, optimization, etc.) and their integration with 'Rcpp'.

Track Changes in Data

A framework that allows for easy logging of changes in data. Main features: start tracking changes by adding a single line of code to an existing script. Track changes in multiple datasets, using multiple loggers. Add custom-built loggers or use loggers offered by other packages. .

Create Compact Hash Digests of R Objects

Implementation of a function 'digest()' for the creation of hash digests of arbitrary R objects (using the 'md5', 'sha-1', 'sha-256', 'crc32', 'xxhash', 'murmurhash', 'spookyhash', 'blake3', 'crc32c', 'xxh3_64', and 'xxh3_128' algorithms) permitting easy comparison of R language objects, as well as functions such as 'hmac()' to create hash-based message authentication code. Please note that this package is not meant to be deployed for cryptographic purposes for which more comprehensive (and widely tested) libraries such as 'OpenSSL' should be used.

'rOpenSci' Software Review 'Roclets'

Companion package to 'rOpenSci' statistical software review project ('rOpenSci' authors, 2021; ), to facilitate documenting software compliance with statistical standards using 'Roxygen2' 'roclets'.

A Simple, Opinionated Logging Utility

A very lightweight package that writes out log messages in an opinionated way. Simpler and lighter than other logging packages, 'rlog' provides a compact feature set that focuses on getting the job done in a Unix-like way.

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.

Convert, Validate, Format and Print Geographic Coordinates and Waypoints

Convert, validate, format and elegantly print geographic coordinates and waypoints (paired latitude and longitude values) in decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, and degrees, minutes and seconds using high performance C++ code to enable rapid conversion and formatting of large coordinate and waypoint datasets.

Extensible, Parallelizable Implementation of the Random Forest Algorithm

Scalable implementation of classification and regression forests, as described by Breiman (2001), .

Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Targeted maximum likelihood estimation of point treatment effects (Targeted Maximum Likelihood Learning, The International Journal of Biostatistics, 2(1), 2006. This version automatically estimates the additive treatment effect among the treated (ATT) and among the controls (ATC). The tmle() function calculates the adjusted marginal difference in mean outcome associated with a binary point treatment, for continuous or binary outcomes. Relative risk and odds ratio estimates are also reported for binary outcomes. Missingness in the outcome is allowed, but not in treatment assignment or baseline covariate values. The population mean is calculated when there is missingness, and no variation in the treatment assignment. The tmleMSM() function estimates the parameters of a marginal structural model for a binary point treatment effect. Effect estimation stratified by a binary mediating variable is also available. An ID argument can be used to identify repeated measures. Default settings call 'SuperLearner' to estimate the Q and g portions of the likelihood, unless values or a user-supplied regression function are passed in as arguments.

Mark-Recapture Distance Sampling

Animal abundance estimation via conventional, multiple covariate and mark-recapture distance sampling (CDS/MCDS/MRDS). Detection function fitting is performed via maximum likelihood. Also included are diagnostics and plotting for fitted detection functions. Abundance estimation is via a Horvitz-Thompson-like estimator.
