Run CRAN URL Checks from Older R Versions

Provide the URL checking tools available in R 4.1+ as a package for earlier versions of R. Also uses concurrent requests so can be much faster than the serial versions.

Match Regular Expressions with a Nicer 'API'

A small wrapper on 'regexpr' to extract the matches and captured groups from the match of a regular expression to a character vector.

Show an Image on an 'R' Graphics Device

Sometimes it is handy to be able to view an image file on an 'R' graphics device. This package just does that. Currently it supports 'PNG' files.

Query 'R' Versions, Including 'r-release' and 'r-oldrel'

Query the main 'R' 'SVN' repository to find the versions 'r-release' and 'r-oldrel' refer to, and also all previous 'R' versions and their release dates.

Open System Files, 'URLs', Anything

Cross platform solution to open files, directories or 'URLs' with their associated programs.

Share Sensitive Information in R Packages

Allow sharing sensitive information, for example passwords, 'API' keys, etc., in R packages, using public key cryptography.

R Interface to the 'Yacas' Computer Algebra System

Interface to the 'yacas' computer algebra system (< http://www.yacas.org/>).

Slick Call Stacks

Better looking call stacks after an error.

Time-Frequency Analysis of 1-D Signals

A set of R functions which provide an environment for the Time-Frequency analysis of 1-D signals (and especially for the wavelet and Gabor transforms of noisy signals). It was originally written for Splus by Rene Carmona, Bruno Torresani, and Wen L. Hwang, first at the University of California at Irvine and then at Princeton University. Credit should also be given to Andrea Wang whose functions on the dyadic wavelet transform are included. Rwave is based on the book: "Practical Time-Frequency Analysis: Gabor and Wavelet Transforms with an Implementation in S", by Rene Carmona, Wen L. Hwang and Bruno Torresani (1998, eBook ISBN:978008053942), Academic Press.

Praise Users

Build friendly R packages that praise their users if they have done something good, or they just need it to feel better.
