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 (2025) .

Variable Selection Using Random Forests

Three steps variable selection procedure based on random forests. Initially developed to handle high dimensional data (for which number of variables largely exceeds number of observations), the package is very versatile and can treat most dimensions of data, for regression and supervised classification problems. First step is dedicated to eliminate irrelevant variables from the dataset. Second step aims to select all variables related to the response for interpretation purpose. Third step refines the selection by eliminating redundancy in the set of variables selected by the second step, for prediction purpose. Genuer, R. Poggi, J.-M. and Tuleau-Malot, C. (2015) < https://journal.r-project.org/articles/RJ-2015-018/>.

The Free Group

The free group in R; juxtaposition is represented by a plus. Includes inversion, multiplication by a scalar, group-theoretic power operation, and Tietze forms. To cite the package in publications please use Hankin (2022) .

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 The package is almost completely superceded by the 'spray' and 'mvp' packages, which are much more efficient.

How to Add Two R Tables

Methods to "add" two R tables; also an alternative interpretation of named vectors as generalized R tables, so that c(a=1,b=2,c=3) + c(b=3,a=-1) will return c(b=5,c=3). Uses 'disordR' discipline (Hankin, 2022, ). Extraction and replacement methods are provided. The underlying mathematical structure is the Free Abelian group, hence the name. To cite in publications please use Hankin (2023) .

Electrical Properties of Resistor Networks

Electrical properties of resistor networks using matrix methods.

Knot Diagrams using Bezier Curves

Makes visually pleasing diagrams of knot projections using optimized Bezier curves.

The Weyl Algebra

A suite of routines for Weyl algebras. Notation follows Coutinho (1995, ISBN 0-521-55119-6, "A Primer of Algebraic D-Modules"). Uses 'disordR' discipline (Hankin 2022 ). To cite the package in publications, use Hankin 2022 .
