Read and Play Digital Music (MIDI)

Bindings to 'libfluidsynth' to parse and synthesize MIDI files. It can read MIDI into a data frame, play it on the local audio device, or convert into an audio file.

Easily Send HTML Email Messages

Compose and send out responsive HTML email messages that render perfectly across a range of email clients and device sizes. Helper functions let the user insert embedded images, web link buttons, and 'ggplot2' plot objects into the message body. Messages can be sent through an 'SMTP' server, through the 'Posit Connect' service, or through the 'Mailgun' API service < https://www.mailgun.com/>.

Parse Argument Options

A binding to the minimist JavaScript library. This module implements the guts of optimist's argument parser without all the fanciful decoration.

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.

Fast Polygon to Raster Conversion

Provides a drop-in replacement for rasterize() from the 'raster' package that takes polygon vector or data frame objects, and is much faster. There is support for the main options provided by the rasterize() function, including setting the field used and background value, and options for aggregating multi-layer rasters. Uses the scan line algorithm attributed to Wylie et al. (1967) .

Efficient Plotting of Large-Sized Data

A tool to plot data with a large sample size using 'shiny' and 'plotly'. Relatively small samples are obtained from the original data using a specific algorithm. The samples are updated according to a user-defined x range. Jonas Van Der Donckt, Jeroen Van Der Donckt, Emiel Deprost (2022) < https://github.com/predict-idlab/plotly-resampler>.

Trends and Indices for Monitoring Data

The TRIM model is widely used for estimating growth and decline of animal populations based on (possibly sparsely available) count data. The current package is a reimplementation of the original TRIM software developed at Statistics Netherlands by Jeroen Pannekoek. See < https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb/society/nature-and-environment/indices-and-trends%2d%2dtrim%2d%2d> for more information about TRIM.

Perform Power Analysis for the RI-CLPM and STARTS Model

Perform user-friendly power analyses for the random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) and the bivariate stable trait autoregressive trait state (STARTS) model. The strategy as proposed by Mulder (2023) is implemented. Extensions include the use of parameter constraints over time, bounded estimation, generation of data with skewness and kurtosis, and the option to setup the power analysis for Mplus.

Comprehensive TIFF I/O with Full Support for 'ImageJ' TIFF Files

General purpose TIFF file I/O for R users. Currently the only such package with read and write support for TIFF files with floating point (real-numbered) pixels, and the only package that can correctly import TIFF files that were saved from 'ImageJ' and write TIFF files than can be correctly read by 'ImageJ' < https://imagej.net/ij/>. Also supports text image I/O.

Provide the 'x13ashtml' Seasonal Adjustment Binary

The US Census Bureau provides a seasonal adjustment program now called 'X-13ARIMA-SEATS' building on both earlier programs called X-11 and X-12 as well as the SEATS program by the Bank of Spain. The US Census Bureau offers both source and binary versions -- which this package integrates for use by other R packages.
