Spatial Data Analysis

Methods for spatial data analysis with vector (points, lines, polygons) and raster (grid) data. Methods for vector data include geometric operations such as intersect and buffer. Raster methods include local, focal, global, zonal and geometric operations. The predict and interpolate methods facilitate the use of regression type (interpolation, machine learning) models for spatial prediction, including with satellite remote sensing data. Processing of very large files is supported. See the manual and tutorials on < https://rspatial.org/> to get started. 'terra' replaces the 'raster' package ('terra' can do more, and it is faster and easier to use).

Solvers for Initial Value Problems of Differential Equations ('ODE', 'DAE', 'DDE')

Functions that solve initial value problems of a system of first-order ordinary differential equations ('ODE'), of partial differential equations ('PDE'), of differential algebraic equations ('DAE'), and of delay differential equations. The functions provide an interface to the FORTRAN functions 'lsoda', 'lsodar', 'lsode', 'lsodes' of the 'ODEPACK' collection, to the FORTRAN functions 'dvode', 'zvode' and 'daspk' and a C-implementation of solvers of the 'Runge-Kutta' family with fixed or variable time steps. The package contains routines designed for solving 'ODEs' resulting from 1-D, 2-D and 3-D partial differential equations ('PDE') that have been converted to 'ODEs' by numerical differencing.

Functions for Kernel Smoothing Supporting Wand & Jones (1995)

Functions for kernel smoothing (and density estimation) corresponding to the book: Wand, M.P. and Jones, M.C. (1995) "Kernel Smoothing".

Bootstrap Functions (Originally by Angelo Canty for S)

Functions and datasets for bootstrapping from the book "Bootstrap Methods and Their Application" by A. C. Davison and D. V. Hinkley (1997, CUP), originally written by Angelo Canty for S.

Add Loading Animations to a 'shiny' Output While It's Recalculating

When a 'Shiny' output (such as a plot, table, map, etc.) is recalculating, it remains visible but gets greyed out. Using 'shinycssloaders', you can add a loading animation ("spinner") to outputs instead. By wrapping a 'Shiny' output in 'withSpinner()', a spinner will automatically appear while the output is recalculating. See the demo online at < https://daattali.com/shiny/shinycssloaders-demo/>.

Statistical Matching or Data Fusion

Integration of two data sources referred to the same target population which share a number of variables. Some functions can also be used to impute missing values in data sets through hot deck imputation methods. Methods to perform statistical matching when dealing with data from complex sample surveys are available too.

SQLite Interface for R

Embeds the SQLite database engine in R and provides an interface compliant with the DBI package. The source for the SQLite engine and for various extensions in a recent version is included. System libraries will never be consulted because this package relies on static linking for the plugins it includes; this also ensures a consistent experience across all installations.

Computation of Bayes Factors for Common Designs

A suite of functions for computing various Bayes factors for simple designs, including contingency tables, one- and two-sample designs, one-way designs, general ANOVA designs, and linear regression.

"Finding Groups in Data": Cluster Analysis Extended Rousseeuw et al.

Methods for Cluster analysis. Much extended the original from Peter Rousseeuw, Anja Struyf and Mia Hubert, based on Kaufman and Rousseeuw (1990) "Finding Groups in Data".

Create Dendrograms and Tree Diagrams Using 'ggplot2'

This is a set of tools for dendrograms and tree plots using 'ggplot2'. The 'ggplot2' philosophy is to clearly separate data from the presentation. Unfortunately the plot method for dendrograms plots directly to a plot device without exposing the data. The 'ggdendro' package resolves this by making available functions that extract the dendrogram plot data. The package provides implementations for 'tree', 'rpart', as well as diana and agnes (from 'cluster') diagrams.
