Analysis of Heavy Tailed Distributions

An implementation of maximum likelihood estimators for a variety of heavy tailed distributions, including both the discrete and continuous power law distributions. Additionally, a goodness-of-fit based approach is used to estimate the lower cut-off for the scaling region.

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.4' library. The 'GDAL' and 'PROJ.4' libraries are external to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly installed first. From 'rgdal' 1.4.1, provision is made for 'PROJ6' accommodation, with 'PROJ6' functionality to follow; from 1.4.1 'rgdal' will build and function when 'PROJ' >= 6. Both 'GDAL' raster and 'OGR' vector map data can be imported into R, and 'GDAL' raster data and 'OGR' vector data exported. Use is made of classes defined in the 'sp' package. Windows and Mac Intel OS X binaries (including 'GDAL', 'PROJ.4' and 'Expat') are provided on 'CRAN'.

Interface to Geometry Engine - Open Source ('GEOS')

Interface to Geometry Engine - Open Source ('GEOS') using the C 'API' for topology operations on geometries. The 'GEOS' library is external to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly installed first. Windows and Mac Intel OS X binaries are provided on 'CRAN'.

Crowd Sourced System Benchmarks

Benchmark your CPU and compare against other CPUs. Also provides functions for obtaining system specifications, such as RAM, CPU type, and R version.

Tools for Defensive Programming

Tools for defensive programming, inspired by 'purrr' mappers and based on 'rlang'.'attempt' extends and facilitates defensive programming by providing a consistent grammar, and provides a set of easy to use functions for common tests and conditions. 'attempt' only depends on 'rlang', and focuses on speed, so it can be easily integrated in other functions and used in data analysis.

Pretty Base Graphics

Drop-in replacements for standard base graphics functions. The replacements are prettier versions of the originals.

Interface to 'typeform' Results

An R interface to the 'typeform' < https://typeform.com> application program interface. Also provides functions for downloading your results.

Data Set for the 'benchmarkme' Package

Crowd sourced benchmarks from running the 'benchmarkme' package.

Bindings to Selected 'liblwgeom' Functions for Simple Features

Access to selected functions found in 'liblwgeom' < https://github.com/postgis/postgis/tree/svn-trunk/liblwgeom>, the light-weight geometry library used by 'PostGIS' < http://postgis.net/>.

ICES Vocabularies Database Web Services

R interface to access the RECO POX web services of the ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) Vocabularies database < https://vocab.ices.dk/services/POX.aspx>.
