Attraction Indian Buffet Distribution

An implementation of probability mass function and sampling algorithms is provided for the attraction Indian buffet distribution (AIBD), originally from Dahl (2016) < https://ww2.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2016/onlineprogram/ActivityDetails.cfm?SessionID=213038>.

'a la Carte' on Text (ConText) Embedding Regression

A fast, flexible and transparent framework to estimate context-specific word and short document embeddings using the 'a la carte' embeddings approach developed by Khodak et al. (2018) and evaluate hypotheses about covariate effects on embeddings using the regression framework developed by Rodriguez et al. (2021)< https://github.com/prodriguezsosa/EmbeddingRegression>.

Analysing 'SNP' and 'Silicodart' Data Generated by Genome-Wide Restriction Fragment Analysis

Facilitates the analysis of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) and silicodart (presence/absence) data. 'dartR.popgen' provides a suit of functions to analyse such data in a population genetics context. It provides several functions to calculate population genetic metrics and to study population structure. Quite a few functions need additional software to be able to run (gl.run.structure(), gl.blast(), gl.LDNe()). You find detailed description in the help pages how to download and link the packages so the function can run the software. 'dartR.popgen' is part of the the 'dartRverse' suit of packages.

Datasets for 'spatstat' Family

Contains all the datasets for the 'spatstat' family of packages.

Analysing 'SNP' Data to Support Captive Breeding

Functions are provided that facilitate the analysis of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) data to answer questions regarding captive breeding and relatedness between individuals. 'dartR.captive' is part of the 'dartRverse' suit of packages. Gruber et al. (2018) . Mijangos et al. (2022) .

Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Empirical Distribution Functions

Routines that allow the user to run goodness of fit tests based on empirical distribution functions for formal model evaluation in a general likelihood model. In addition, functions are provided to test a sample against Normal or Gamma distributions, validate the normality assumptions in a linear model, and examine the appropriateness of a Gamma distribution in generalized linear models with various link functions.

Importing and Analysing 'SNP' and 'Silicodart' Data Generated by Genome-Wide Restriction Fragment Analysis

Functions are provided that facilitate the import and analysis of 'SNP' (single nucleotide polymorphism) and 'silicodart' (presence/absence) data. The main focus is on data generated by 'DarT' (Diversity Arrays Technology), however, data from other sequencing platforms can be used once 'SNP' or related fragment presence/absence data from any source is imported. Genetic datasets are stored in a derived 'genlight' format (package 'adegenet'), that allows for a very compact storage of data and metadata. Functions are available for importing and exporting of 'SNP' and 'silicodart' data, for reporting on and filtering on various criteria (e.g. 'CallRate', heterozygosity, reproducibility, maximum allele frequency). Additional functions are available for visualization (e.g. Principle Coordinate Analysis) and creating a spatial representation using maps. 'dartR' supports also the analysis of 3rd party software package such as 'newhybrid', 'structure', 'NeEstimator' and 'blast'. Since version 2.0.3 we also implemented simulation functions, that allow to forward simulate 'SNP' dynamics under different population and evolutionary dynamics. Comprehensive tutorials and support can be found at our 'github' repository: github.com/green-striped-gecko/dartR/. If you want to cite 'dartR', you find the information by typing citation('dartR') in the console.

Using R to Install Stuff on Windows OS (Such As: R, 'Rtools', 'RStudio', 'Git', and More!)

R is great for installing software. Through the 'installr' package you can automate the updating of R (on Windows, using updateR()) and install new software. Software installation is initiated through a GUI (just run installr()), or through functions such as: install.Rtools(), install.pandoc(), install.git(), and many more. The updateR() command performs the following: finding the latest R version, downloading it, running the installer, deleting the installation file, copy and updating old packages to the new R installation.
