Access Uber's H3 Library

Provides access to Uber's H3 library for geospatial indexing via its JavaScript transpile 'h3-js' < https://github.com/uber/h3-js> and 'V8' < https://github.com/jeroen/v8>.

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'.

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.

Get the Same, Personal, Free 'TCP' Port over and over

An R implementation of the cross-platform, language-independent "port4me" algorithm (< https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/port4me>), which (1) finds a free Transmission Control Protocol ('TCP') port in [1024,65535] that the user can open, (2) is designed to work in multi-user environments, (3), gives different users, different ports, (4) gives the user the same port over time with high probability, (5) gives different ports for different software tools, and (6) requires no configuration.

Earth Observation Data Cubes from Satellite Image Collections

Processing collections of Earth observation images as on-demand multispectral, multitemporal raster data cubes. Users define cubes by spatiotemporal extent, resolution, and spatial reference system and let 'gdalcubes' automatically apply cropping, reprojection, and resampling using the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' ('GDAL'). Implemented functions on data cubes include reduction over space and time, applying arithmetic expressions on pixel band values, moving window aggregates over time, filtering by space, time, bands, and predicates on pixel values, exporting data cubes as 'netCDF' or 'GeoTIFF' files, plotting, and extraction from spatial and or spatiotemporal features. All computational parts are implemented in C++, linking to the 'GDAL', 'netCDF', 'CURL', and 'SQLite' libraries. See Appel and Pebesma (2019) for further details.

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.

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.

System Native Font Finding

Provides system native access to the font catalogue. As font handling varies between systems it is difficult to correctly locate installed fonts across different operating systems. The 'systemfonts' package provides bindings to the native libraries on Windows, macOS and Linux for finding font files that can then be used further by e.g. graphic devices. The main use is intended to be from compiled code but 'systemfonts' also provides access from R.

R Inputs/Outputs for Tractography

An input-output interface for reading in and writing out common VTK formats that store tractography data. This data comes in the form of 3D polygons with possibly attributes at each point. These are obtained via tracking algorithms from diffusion MRI and are a non-invasive way of studying brain structural connectivity.
