Download Official Spatial Data Sets of Brazil

Easy access to official spatial data sets of Brazil. The package offers a wide range of spatial data sets available at various geographic scales and for various years with harmonized attributes, projection and fixed topology. All functions allow for seamless integration sf, DuckDB and Arrow.

Importing and Analysing 'SNP' and 'Silicodart' Data Generated by Genome-Wide Restriction Fragment Analysis

Functions are provided that facilitate the import and analysis of 'SNP' (single nucleotide polymorphism) and 'silicodart' (presence/absence) data. The main focus is on data generated by 'DarT' (Diversity Arrays Technology), however, data from other sequencing platforms can be used once 'SNP' or related fragment presence/absence data from any source is imported. Genetic datasets are stored in a derived 'genlight' format (package 'adegenet'), that allows for a very compact storage of data and metadata. Functions are available for importing and exporting of 'SNP' and 'silicodart' data, for reporting on and filtering on various criteria (e.g. 'CallRate', heterozygosity, reproducibility, maximum allele frequency). Additional functions are available for visualization (e.g. Principle Coordinate Analysis) and creating a spatial representation using maps. 'dartR' supports also the analysis of 3rd party software package such as 'newhybrid', 'structure', 'NeEstimator' and 'blast'. Since version 2.0.3 we also implemented simulation functions, that allow to forward simulate 'SNP' dynamics under different population and evolutionary dynamics. Comprehensive tutorials and support can be found at our 'github' repository: github.com/green-striped-gecko/dartR/. If you want to cite 'dartR', you find the information by typing citation('dartR') in the console.

Analysing 'SNP' Data to Support Captive Breeding

Functions are provided that facilitate the analysis of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) data to answer questions regarding captive breeding and relatedness between individuals. 'dartR.captive' is part of the 'dartRverse' suit of packages. Gruber et al. (2018) . Mijangos et al. (2022) .

'a la Carte' on Text (ConText) Embedding Regression

A fast, flexible and transparent framework to estimate context-specific word and short document embeddings using the 'a la carte' embeddings approach developed by Khodak et al. (2018) and evaluate hypotheses about covariate effects on embeddings using the regression framework developed by Rodriguez et al. (2021). New version of the package applies a new estimator to measure the distance between word embeddings as described in Green et al. (2025) .

Geolocalização De Endereços Brasileiros (Geocoding Brazilian Addresses)

Método simples e eficiente de geolocalizar dados no Brasil. O pacote é baseado em conjuntos de dados espaciais abertos de endereços brasileiros, utilizando como fonte principal o Cadastro Nacional de Endereços para Fins Estatísticos (CNEFE). O CNEFE é publicado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), órgão oficial de estatísticas e geografia do Brasil. (A simple and efficient method for geolocating data in Brazil. The package is based on open spatial datasets of Brazilian addresses, primarily using the Cadastro Nacional de Endereços para Fins Estatísticos (CNEFE), published by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), Brazil's official statistics and geography agency.)
