Harrell Miscellaneous

Contains many functions useful for data analysis, high-level graphics, utility operations, functions for computing sample size and power, simulation, importing and annotating datasets, imputing missing values, advanced table making, variable clustering, character string manipulation, conversion of R objects to LaTeX and html code, recoding variables, caching, simplified parallel computing, encrypting and decrypting data using a safe workflow, general moving window statistical estimation, and assistance in interpreting principal component analysis.

Spherical Trigonometry

Spherical trigonometry for geographic applications. That is, compute distances and related measures for angular (longitude/latitude) locations.

Display and Analyze ROC Curves

Tools for visualizing, smoothing and comparing receiver operating characteristic (ROC curves). (Partial) area under the curve (AUC) can be compared with statistical tests based on U-statistics or bootstrap. Confidence intervals can be computed for (p)AUC or ROC curves.

Routines for Logspline Density Estimation

Contains routines for logspline density estimation. The function oldlogspline() uses the same algorithm as the logspline package version 1.0.x; i.e. the Kooperberg and Stone (1992) algorithm (with an improved interface). The recommended routine logspline() uses an algorithm from Stone et al (1997) .

Geographic Data Analysis and Modeling

Reading, writing, manipulating, analyzing and modeling of spatial data. This package has been superseded by the "terra" package < https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=terra>.

Polynomial Spline Routines

Routines for the polynomial spline fitting routines hazard regression, hazard estimation with flexible tails, logspline, lspec, polyclass, and polymars, by C. Kooperberg and co-authors.

Trust Region Optimization

Does local optimization using two derivatives and trust regions. Guaranteed to converge to local minimum of objective function.

Export Tables to LaTeX or HTML

Coerce data to LaTeX and HTML tables.

Color Palettes for EPL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL Teams

Color palettes for EPL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL teams.

Fast, Dependency-Free Geodesic Distance Calculations

Dependency-free, ultra fast calculation of geodesic distances. Includes the reference nanometre-accuracy geodesic distances of Karney (2013) , as used by the 'sf' package, as well as Haversine and Vincenty distances. Default distance measure is the "Mapbox cheap ruler" which is generally more accurate than Haversine or Vincenty for distances out to a few hundred kilometres, and is considerably faster. The main function accepts one or two inputs in almost any generic rectangular form, and returns either matrices of pairwise distances, or vectors of sequential distances.
