Co-Data Learning for Bayesian Additive Regression Trees

Estimate prior variable weights for Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). These weights correspond to the probabilities of the variables being selected in the splitting rules of the sum-of-trees. Weights are estimated using empirical Bayes and external information on the explanatory variables (co-data). BART models are fitted using the 'dbarts' 'R' package. See Goedhart and others (2023) for details.

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.

Another Approach to Package Installation

The goal of 'pak' is to make package installation faster and more reliable. In particular, it performs all HTTP operations in parallel, so metadata resolution and package downloads are fast. Metadata and package files are cached on the local disk as well. 'pak' has a dependency solver, so it finds version conflicts before performing the installation. This version of 'pak' supports CRAN, 'Bioconductor' and 'GitHub' packages as well.

A 'HTTP' Server Graphics Device

A graphics device for R that is accessible via network protocols. This package was created to make it easier to embed live R graphics in integrated development environments and other applications. The included 'HTML/JavaScript' client (plot viewer) aims to provide a better overall user experience when dealing with R graphics. The device asynchronously serves graphics via 'HTTP' and 'WebSockets'.

'NoSQL' Database Connector

Simplified JSON document database access and manipulation, providing a common API across supported 'NoSQL' databases 'Elasticsearch', 'CouchDB', 'MongoDB' as well as 'SQLite/JSON1', 'PostgreSQL', and 'DuckDB'.

Classes for 'GeoJSON'

Classes for 'GeoJSON' to make working with 'GeoJSON' easier. Includes S3 classes for 'GeoJSON' classes with brief summary output, and a few methods such as extracting and adding bounding boxes, properties, and coordinate reference systems; working with newline delimited 'GeoJSON'; and serializing to/from 'Geobuf' binary 'GeoJSON' format.

RDF Library Bindings in R

Provides methods to parse, query and serialize information stored in the Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF is described at < https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/>. This package supports RDF by implementing an R interface to the Redland RDF C library, described at < https://librdf.org/docs/api/index.html>. In brief, RDF provides a structured graph consisting of Statements composed of Subject, Predicate, and Object Nodes.

Modelling of Population Growth

Modelling of population growth under static and dynamic environmental conditions. Includes functions for model fitting and making prediction under isothermal and dynamic conditions. The methods (algorithms & models) are based on predictive microbiology (See Perez-Rodriguez and Valero (2012, ISBN:978-1-4614-5519-6)).

Bindings for the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library

Provides bindings to the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library ('GDAL') (>= 1.11.4) and access to projection/transformation operations from the 'PROJ' library. Please note that 'rgdal' will be retired during October 2023, plan transition to sf/stars/'terra' functions using 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' at your earliest convenience (see < https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html> and earlier blogs for guidance). Use is made of classes defined in the 'sp' package. Raster and vector map data can be imported into R, and raster and vector 'sp' objects exported. The 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' libraries are external to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly installed first; it is important that 'GDAL' < 3 be matched with 'PROJ' < 6. From 'rgdal' 1.5-8, installed with to 'GDAL' >=3, 'PROJ' >=6 and 'sp' >= 1.4, coordinate reference systems use 'WKT2_2019' strings, not 'PROJ' strings. 'Windows' and 'macOS' binaries (including 'GDAL', 'PROJ' and their dependencies) are provided on 'CRAN'.
