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.

Publication Toolkit for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Data

A toolkit to set up an R data package in a consistent structure. Automates tasks like tidy data export, data dictionary documentation, README and website creation, and citation management.

Tau-Leaping Stochastic Simulation

Implements adaptive tau leaping to approximate the trajectory of a continuous-time stochastic process as described by Cao et al. (2007) The Journal of Chemical Physics (aka. the Gillespie stochastic simulation algorithm). This package is based upon work supported by NSF DBI-0906041 and NIH K99-GM104158 to Philip Johnson and NIH R01-AI049334 to Rustom Antia.

Find, Characterize, and Explore Extreme Events in Climate Projections

Inputs a directory of climate projection files and, for each, identifies and characterizes heat waves for specified study locations. The definition used to identify heat waves can be customized. Heat wave characterizations include several metrics of heat wave length, intensity, and timing in the year. The heat waves that are identified can be explored using a function to apply user-created functions across all generated heat wave files.This work was supported in part by grants from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (R00ES022631), the National Science Foundation (1331399), and the Colorado State University Vice President for Research.

Spatial Temporal Analysis of Moving Polygons

Perform spatial temporal analysis of moving polygons; a longstanding analysis problem in Geographic Information Systems. Facilitates directional analysis, distance analysis, and some other simple functionality for examining spatial-temporal patterns of moving polygons.

Weighted Portmanteau Tests for Time Series Goodness-of-Fit

An implementation of the Weighted Portmanteau Tests described in "New Weighted Portmanteau Statistics for Time Series Goodness-of-Fit Testing" published by the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Volume 107, Issue 498, pages 777-787, 2012.

Parsing Expression Grammars in Rcpp

A wrapper around the 'Parsing Expression Grammar Template Library', a C++11 library for generating Parsing Expression Grammars, that makes it accessible within Rcpp. With this, developers can implement their own grammars and easily expose them in R packages.
