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.

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 This package has been superseded by the "terra" package 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.

Manage Massive Matrices with Shared Memory and Memory-Mapped Files

Create, store, access, and manipulate massive matrices. Matrices are allocated to shared memory and may use memory-mapped files. Packages 'biganalytics', 'bigtabulate', 'synchronicity', and 'bigalgebra' provide advanced functionality.

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

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

Computational Geometry

R interface to (some of) cddlib (< https://github.com/cddlib/cddlib>). Converts back and forth between two representations of a convex polytope: as solution of a set of linear equalities and inequalities and as convex hull of set of points and rays. Also does linear programming and redundant generator elimination (for example, convex hull in n dimensions). All functions can use exact infinite-precision rational arithmetic.

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.

Trust Region Optimization

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