Get the Same, Personal, Free 'TCP' Port over and over

An R implementation of the cross-platform, language-independent "port4me" algorithm (< https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/port4me>), which (1) finds a free Transmission Control Protocol ('TCP') port in [1024,65535] that the user can open, (2) is designed to work in multi-user environments, (3), gives different users, different ports, (4) gives the user the same port over time with high probability, (5) gives different ports for different software tools, and (6) requires no configuration.

Improved Allele-Specific Copy Number of SNP Microarrays for Downstream Segmentation

The CalMaTe method calibrates preprocessed allele-specific copy number estimates (ASCNs) from DNA microarrays by controlling for single-nucleotide polymorphism-specific allelic crosstalk. The resulting ASCNs are on average more accurate, which increases the power of segmentation methods for detecting changes between copy number states in tumor studies including copy neutral loss of heterozygosity. CalMaTe applies to any ASCNs regardless of preprocessing method and microarray technology, e.g. Affymetrix and Illumina.

An Efficient and Deterministic Method for Identifying Topological Domains in Genomes

The 'TopDom' method identifies topological domains in genomes from Hi-C sequence data (Shin et al., 2016 ). The authors published an implementation of their method as an R script (two different versions; also available in this package). This package originates from those original 'TopDom' R scripts and provides help pages adopted from the original 'TopDom' PDF documentation. It also provides a small number of bug fixes to the original code.

Convert Statistical Objects into Tidy Tibbles

Summarizes key information about statistical objects in tidy tibbles. This makes it easy to report results, create plots and consistently work with large numbers of models at once. Broom provides three verbs that each provide different types of information about a model. tidy() summarizes information about model components such as coefficients of a regression. glance() reports information about an entire model, such as goodness of fit measures like AIC and BIC. augment() adds information about individual observations to a dataset, such as fitted values or influence measures.

Sudoku Puzzle Generator and Solver

Generates, plays, and solves Sudoku puzzles. The GUI playSudoku() needs package "tkrplot" if you are not on Windows.

R Interface with Google Compute Engine

Interact with the 'Google Compute Engine' API in R. Lets you create, start and stop instances in the 'Google Cloud'. Support for preconfigured instances, with templates for common R needs.

Multi-Patient Analysis of Genomic Markers

Preprocessing and analysis of genomic data. 'MPAgenomics' provides wrappers from commonly used packages to streamline their repeated manipulation, offering an easy-to-use pipeline. The segmentation of successive multiple profiles is performed with an automatic choice of parameters involved in the wrapped packages. Considering multiple profiles in the same time, 'MPAgenomics' wraps efficient penalized regression methods to select relevant markers associated with a given outcome. Grimonprez et al. (2014) .

Complete Environment for Bayesian Inference

Provides a complete environment for Bayesian inference using a variety of different samplers (see ?LaplacesDemon for an overview).

R Bindings for Calling the 'Earth Engine' API

Earth Engine < https://earthengine.google.com/> client library for R. All of the 'Earth Engine' API classes, modules, and functions are made available. Additional functions implemented include importing (exporting) of Earth Engine spatial objects, extraction of time series, interactive map display, assets management interface, and metadata display. See < https://r-spatial.github.io/rgee/> for further details.

Improved Access for Blind Users

Blind users do not have access to the graphical output from R without printing the content of graphics windows to an embosser of some kind. This is not as immediate as is required for efficient access to statistical output. The functions here are created so that blind people can make even better use of R. This includes the text descriptions of graphs, convenience functions to replace the functionality offered in many GUI front ends, and experimental functionality for optimising graphical content to prepare it for embossing as tactile images.
