C5.0 Decision Trees and Rule-Based Models

C5.0 decision trees and rule-based models for pattern recognition that extend the work of Quinlan (1993, ISBN:1-55860-238-0).

A Toolbox for Manipulating and Assessing Colors and Palettes

Carries out mapping between assorted color spaces including RGB, HSV, HLS, CIEXYZ, CIELUV, HCL (polar CIELUV), CIELAB, and polar CIELAB. Qualitative, sequential, and diverging color palettes based on HCL colors are provided along with corresponding ggplot2 color scales. Color palette choice is aided by an interactive app (with either a Tcl/Tk or a shiny graphical user interface) and shiny apps with an HCL color picker and a color vision deficiency emulator. Plotting functions for displaying and assessing palettes include color swatches, visualizations of the HCL space, and trajectories in HCL and/or RGB spectrum. Color manipulation functions include: desaturation, lightening/darkening, mixing, and simulation of color vision deficiencies (deutanomaly, protanomaly, tritanomaly). Details can be found on the project web page at < https://colorspace.R-Forge.R-project.org/> and in the accompanying scientific paper: Zeileis et al. (2020, Journal of Statistical Software, ).

R Interface to NLopt

Solve optimization problems using an R interface to NLopt. NLopt is a free/open-source library for nonlinear optimization, providing a common interface for a number of different free optimization routines available online as well as original implementations of various other algorithms. See < https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/NLopt_Algorithms/> for more information on the available algorithms. Building from included sources requires 'CMake'. On Linux and 'macOS', if a suitable system build of NLopt (2.7.0 or later) is found, it is used; otherwise, it is built from included sources via 'CMake'. On Windows, NLopt is obtained through 'rwinlib' for 'R <= 4.1.x' or grabbed from the appropriate toolchain for 'R >= 4.2.0'.

Provides Access to Git Repositories

Interface to the 'libgit2' library, which is a pure C implementation of the 'Git' core methods. Provides access to 'Git' repositories to extract data and running some basic 'Git' commands.

Analysis of Dose-Response Curves

Analysis of dose-response data is made available through a suite of flexible and versatile model fitting and after-fitting functions.

Header-Only 'C++' and 'R' Interface

Provides a header only, 'C++' interface to 'R' with enhancements over 'cpp11'. Enforces copy-on-write semantics consistent with 'R' behavior. Offers native support for ALTREP objects, 'UTF-8' string handling, modern 'C++11' features and idioms, and reduced memory requirements. Allows for vendoring, making it useful for restricted environments. Compared to 'cpp11', it adds support for converting 'C++' maps to 'R' lists, 'Roxygen' documentation directly in 'C++' code, proper handling of matrix attributes, support for nullable external pointers, bidirectional copy of complex number types, flexibility in type conversions, use of nullable pointers, and various performance optimizations.

Provides 'mio' C++11 Header Files

Provides header files of 'mio', a cross-platform C++11 header-only library for memory mapped file IO < https://github.com/mandreyel/mio>.

The 'plog' C++ Logging Library

A simple header-only logging library for C++. Add 'LinkingTo: plogr' to 'DESCRIPTION', and '#include ' in your C++ modules to use it.

'Rcpp' Integration of Additional Probability Distributions

The 'Rcpp' package provides a C++ library to make it easier to use C++ with R. R and 'Rcpp' provide functions for a variety of statistical distributions. Several R packages make functions available to R for additional statistical distributions. However, to access these functions from C++ code, a costly call to the R functions must be made. 'RcppDist' provides a header-only C++ library with functions for additional statistical distributions that can be called from C++ when writing code using 'Rcpp' or 'RcppArmadillo'. Functions are available that return a 'NumericVector' as well as doubles, and for multivariate or matrix distributions, 'Armadillo' vectors and matrices. 'RcppDist' provides functions for the following distributions: the four parameter beta distribution; the location- scale t distribution; the truncated normal distribution; the truncated t distribution; a truncated location-scale t distribution; the triangle distribution; the multivariate normal distribution*; the multivariate t distribution*; the Wishart distribution*; and the inverse Wishart distribution*. Distributions marked with an asterisk rely on 'RcppArmadillo'.

Extended Structural Equation Modelling

Create structural equation models that can be manipulated programmatically. Models may be specified with matrices or paths (LISREL or RAM) Example models include confirmatory factor, multiple group, mixture distribution, categorical threshold, modern test theory, differential Fit functions include full information maximum likelihood, maximum likelihood, and weighted least squares. equations, state space, and many others. Support and advanced package binaries available at < https://openmx.ssri.psu.edu>. The software is described in Neale, Hunter, Pritikin, Zahery, Brick, Kirkpatrick, Estabrook, Bates, Maes, & Boker (2016) .
