An Interface to the Nexus Class Library

An interface to the Nexus Class Library which allows parsing of NEXUS, Newick and other phylogenetic tree file formats. It provides elements of the file that can be used to build phylogenetic objects such as ape's 'phylo' or phylobase's 'phylo4(d)'. This functionality is demonstrated with 'read_newick_phylo()' and 'read_nexus_phylo()'.

Black Box Optimization and Exploration of Parameter Space

Performs prediction of a response function from simulated response values, allowing black-box optimization of functions estimated with some error. Includes a simple user interface for such applications, as well as more specialized functions designed to be called by the Migraine software (Rousset and Leblois, 2012 ; Leblois et al., 2014 ; and see URL). The latter functions are used for prediction of likelihood surfaces and implied likelihood ratio confidence intervals, and for exploration of predictor space of the surface. Prediction of the response is based on ordinary Kriging (with residual error) of the input. Estimation of smoothing parameters is performed by generalized cross-validation.

Functions to Make Surveys Processing Easier

Set of functions to make the processing and analysis of surveys easier : interactive shiny apps and addins for data recoding, contingency tables, dataset metadata handling, and several convenience functions.

Tools for Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC)

Implements several ABC algorithms for performing parameter estimation, model selection, and goodness-of-fit. Cross-validation tools are also available for measuring the accuracy of ABC estimates, and to calculate the misclassification probabilities of different models.

Knowledge Synthesis in Agriculture - From Experimental Network to Meta-Analysis

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS : The French network "RMT modeling and data analysis for agriculture" (< http://www.modelia.org>) have contributed to the development of this R package. This project and network are lead by ACTA (French Technical Institute for Agriculture) and was funded by a grant from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishing of France.

Wrappers for Tools in Other Packages for IDE Friendliness

Set of tools aimed at wrapping some of the functionalities of the packages tools, utils and codetools into a nicer format so that an IDE can use them.

Partial Least-Squares Algorithm for Categorical and Scalar Functional Data

Performs the Partial Least-Squares ('PLS') algorithm for functional data through the concept of active area integration. This approach builds upon the basis expansion methods for functional 'PLS' regression described in Aguilera et al. (2010) . The package seamlessly handles both Scalar Functional Data ('SFD') and Categorical Functional Data ('CFD'), providing interpretable regression curves even for discrete state changes. It was developed during a PhD thesis between 'DECATHLON' and French research institute 'INRIA' 2022-2026. The 'SmoothPLS' method does not directly decompose the data into a basis; rather, it assumes the data is known as precisely as desired, and for every 'PLS' component, the weight functions are decomposed into the basis. For both single-state and multi-state 'CFD' as well as 'SFD', the algorithm is implemented for a scalar response. To provide a baseline, a naive 'PLS' method on time-value functions and standard Functional 'PLS' are also implemented.

Quick Serialization of R Objects

Provides functions for quickly writing and reading any R object to and from disk.

A Diceware Passphrase Implementation

The Diceware method can be used to generate strong passphrases. In short, you roll a 6-faced dice 5 times in a row, the number obtained is matched against a dictionary of easily remembered words. By combining together 7 words thus generated, you obtain a password that is relatively easy to remember, but would take several millions years (on average) for a powerful computer to guess.
