Diversity Measures on Tripartite Graphs

Computing diversity measures on tripartite graphs. This package first implements a parametrized family of such diversity measures which apply on probability distributions. Sometimes called "True Diversity", this family contains famous measures such as the richness, the Shannon entropy, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, and the Berger-Parker index. Second, the package allows to apply these measures on probability distributions resulting from random walks between the levels of tripartite graphs. By defining an initial distribution at a given level of the graph and a path to follow between the three levels, the probability of the walker's position within the final level is then computed, thus providing a particular instance of diversity to measure.

Interface Between R and the OpenStreetMap-Based Routing Service OSRM

An interface between R and the 'OSRM' API. 'OSRM' is a routing service based on 'OpenStreetMap' data. See < https://project-osrm.org/> for more information. This package enables the computation of routes, trips, isochrones and travel distances matrices (travel time and kilometric distance).

Provides a Function to Calculate Prize Winner Indices Based on Bibliometric Data

A function 'PWI()' that calculates prize winner indices based on bibliometric data is provided. The default is the 'Derek de Solla Price Memorial Medal'. Users can provide recipients of other prizes.

A Simple Data Science Challenge System

A simple data science challenge system using R Markdown and 'Dropbox' < https://www.dropbox.com/>. It requires no network configuration, does not depend on external platforms like e.g. 'Kaggle' < https://www.kaggle.com/> and can be easily installed on a personal computer.

Structured Covariances Estimators for Pairwise and Spatial Covariates

Implements estimators for structured covariance matrices in the presence of pairwise and spatial covariates. Metodiev, Perrot-Dockès, Ouadah, Fosdick, Robin, Latouche & Raftery (2026) .

Sparse-Group Lasso via Semismooth Newton Augmented Lagrangian

Implements the sparse-group lasso method of Zhang et al. (2020) . Unlike many widely available methods based on first-order descent, this method uses second-order information to solve the dual optimization problem via a semismooth Newton method.

Setup and connect to 'OpenTripPlanner'

Setup and connect to 'OpenTripPlanner' (OTP) < http://www.opentripplanner.org/>. OTP is an open source platform for multi-modal and multi-agency journey planning written in 'Java'. The package allows you to manage a local version or connect to remote OTP server to find walking, cycling, driving, or transit routes. This package has been peer-reviewed by rOpenSci (v. 0.2.0.0).

Multivariate Polynomials

Various utilities to manipulate multivariate polynomials. The package is almost completely superceded by the 'spray' and 'mvp' packages, which are much more efficient.

Ecological Drift under the UNTB

Hubbell's Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity.

Antiassociative Algebra

Methods to deal with the free antiassociative algebra over the reals with an arbitrary number of indeterminates. Antiassociativity means that (xy)z = -x(yz). Antiassociative algebras are nilpotent with nilindex four (Remm, 2022, ) and this drives the design and philosophy of the package. Methods are defined to create and manipulate arbitrary elements of the antiassociative algebra, and to extract and replace coefficients. A vignette is provided.
