Generate Fake Datasets for Prototyping and Teaching

Create fake datasets that can be used for prototyping and teaching. This package provides a set of functions to generate fake data for a variety of data types, such as dates, addresses, and names. It can be used for prototyping (notably in 'shiny') or as a tool to teach data manipulation and data visualization.

An R Interface to the JBrowse 2 Genome Browser

Provides an R interface to the JBrowse 2 genome browser. Enables embedding a JB2 genome browser in a Shiny app or R Markdown document. The browser can also be launched from an interactive R console. The browser can be loaded with a variety of common genomics data types, and can be used with a custom theme.

An API Client for the Environmental Data Initiative Repository

A client for the Environmental Data Initiative repository REST API. The 'EDI' data repository < https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/home.jsp> is for publication and reuse of ecological data with emphasis on metadata accuracy and completeness. It is built upon the 'PASTA+' software stack < https://pastaplus-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#> and was developed in collaboration with the US 'LTER' Network < https://lternet.edu/>. 'EDIutils' includes functions to search and access existing data, evaluate and upload new data, and assist other data management tasks common to repository users.

Process CBASS-Derived PAM Data

Tools to process CBASS-derived PAM data efficiently. Minimal requirements are PAM-based photosynthetic efficiency data (or data from any other continuous variable that changes with temperature, e.g. relative bleaching scores) from 4 coral samples (nubbins) subjected to 4 temperature profiles of at least 2 colonies from 1 coral species from 1 site. Please refer to the following CBASS (Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System) papers for in-depth information regarding CBASS acute thermal stress assays, experimental design considerations, and ED5/ED50/ED95 thermal parameters: Nicolas R. Evensen et al. (2023) Christian R. Voolstra et al. (2020) Christian R. Voolstra et al. (2025) .

R Interface to Proximal Interior Point Quadratic Programming Solver

An embedded proximal interior point quadratic programming solver, which can solve dense and sparse quadratic programs, described in Schwan, Jiang, Kuhn, and Jones (2023) . Combining an infeasible interior point method with the proximal method of multipliers, the algorithm can handle ill-conditioned convex quadratic programming problems without the need for linear independence of the constraints. The solver is written in header only 'C++ 14' leveraging the 'Eigen' library for vectorized linear algebra. For small dense problems, vectorized instructions and cache locality can be exploited more efficiently. Allocation free problem updates and re-solves are also provided.

Machine Learning and Mapping for Spatial Epidemiology

Provides tools for the integration, visualisation, and modelling of spatial epidemiological data using the method described in Azeez, A., & Noel, C. (2025). 'Predictive Modelling and Spatial Distribution of Pancreatic Cancer in Africa Using Machine Learning-Based Spatial Model' and . It facilitates the analysis of geographic health data by combining modern spatial mapping tools with advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms. 'mlspatial' enables users to import and pre-process shapefile and associated demographic or disease incidence data, generate richly annotated thematic maps, and apply predictive models, including Random Forest, 'XGBoost', and Support Vector Regression, to identify spatial patterns and risk factors. It is suited for spatial epidemiologists, public health researchers, and GIS analysts aiming to uncover hidden geographic patterns in health-related outcomes and inform evidence-based interventions.

Beyond the Border - Kernel Density Estimation for Urban Geography

The kernelSmoothing() function allows you to square and smooth geolocated data. It calculates a classical kernel smoothing (conservative) or a geographically weighted median. There are four major call modes of the function. The first call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth) for a classical kernel smoothing and automatic grid. The second call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles) for a geographically weighted median and automatic grid. The third call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, centroids) for a classical kernel smoothing and user grid. The fourth call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles, centroids) for a geographically weighted median and user grid.
