Fitting Generalized Linear Models

Fits generalized linear models using the same model specification as glm in the stats package, but with a modified default fitting method that provides greater stability for models that may fail to converge using glm.

Conditional Inference Procedures in a Permutation Test Framework

Conditional inference procedures for the general independence problem including two-sample, K-sample (non-parametric ANOVA), correlation, censored, ordered and multivariate problems described in .

Hacks for 'ggplot2'

A 'ggplot2' extension that does a variety of little helpful things. The package extends 'ggplot2' facets through customisation, by setting individual scales per panel, resizing panels and providing nested facets. Also allows multiple colour and fill scales per plot. Also hosts a smaller collection of stats, geoms and axis guides.

Fast Access to Large ASCII Files

Methods for fast access to large ASCII files. Currently the following file formats are supported: comma separated format (CSV) and fixed width format. It is assumed that the files are too large to fit into memory, although the package can also be used to efficiently access files that do fit into memory. Methods are provided to access and process files blockwise. Furthermore, an opened file can be accessed as one would an ordinary data.frame. The LaF vignette gives an overview of the functionality provided.

Tidy Geospatial Networks

Provides a tidy approach to spatial network analysis, in the form of classes and functions that enable a seamless interaction between the network analysis package 'tidygraph' and the spatial analysis package 'sf'.

Fast, Dependency-Free Geodesic Distance Calculations

Dependency-free, ultra fast calculation of geodesic distances. Includes the reference nanometre-accuracy geodesic distances of Karney (2013) , as used by the 'sf' package, as well as Haversine and Vincenty distances. Default distance measure is the "Mapbox cheap ruler" which is generally more accurate than Haversine or Vincenty for distances out to a few hundred kilometres, and is considerably faster. The main function accepts one or two inputs in almost any generic rectangular form, and returns either matrices of pairwise distances, or vectors of sequential distances.

Fast Multivariate Normal and Student's t Methods

Provides computationally efficient tools related to the multivariate normal and Student's t distributions. The main functionalities are: simulating multivariate random vectors, evaluating multivariate normal or Student's t densities and Mahalanobis distances. These tools are very efficient thanks to the use of C++ code and of the OpenMP API.

Create Elegant Data Visualisations Using the Grammar of Graphics

A system for 'declaratively' creating graphics, based on "The Grammar of Graphics". You provide the data, tell 'ggplot2' how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it takes care of the details.

Record Linkage Toolkit

Functions to assist in performing probabilistic record linkage and deduplication: generating pairs, comparing records, em-algorithm for estimating m- and u-probabilities (I. Fellegi & A. Sunter (1969) , T.N. Herzog, F.J. Scheuren, & W.E. Winkler (2007), "Data Quality and Record Linkage Techniques", ISBN:978-0-387-69502-0), forcing one-to-one matching. Can also be used for pre- and post-processing for machine learning methods for record linkage. Focus is on memory, CPU performance and flexibility.

The Lawson-Hanson Algorithm for Non-Negative Least Squares (NNLS)

An R interface to the Lawson-Hanson implementation of an algorithm for non-negative least squares (NNLS). Also allows the combination of non-negative and non-positive constraints.
