An effortless ndjson (newline-delimited JSON') logger, with two primary log-writing interfaces. It provides a set of wrappings for base R's message(), warning(), and stop() functions that maintain identical functionality, but also log the handler message to an ndjson log file. loggit also exports its internal loggit() function for powerful and configurable custom logging. No change in existing code is necessary to use this package, and should only require additions to fully leverage the power of the logging system. loggit also provides a log reader for reading an ndjson log file into a data frame, log rotation, and live echo of the ndjson log messages to terminal stdout for log capture by external systems (like containers). loggit is ideal for Shiny apps, data pipelines, modeling work flows, and more. Please see the vignettes for detailed example use cases.

Create small multiples of several leaflet web maps with (optional) synchronised panning and zooming control. When syncing is enabled all maps respond to mouse actions on one map. This allows side-by-side comparisons of different attributes of the same geometries. Syncing can be adjusted so that any combination of maps can be synchronised.

This package provides tools to create an interactive web-based visualization of a topic model that has been fit to a corpus of text data using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). Given the estimated parameters of the topic model, it computes various summary statistics as input to an interactive visualization built with D3.js that is accessed via a browser. The goal is to help users interpret the topics in their LDA topic model.

Local Individual Conditional Expectation ('localICE') is a local explanation approach from the field of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). localICE is a model-agnostic XAI approach which provides three-dimensional local explanations for particular data instances. The approach is proposed in the master thesis of Martin Walter as an extension to ICE (see Reference). The three dimensions are the two features at the horizontal and vertical axes as well as the target represented by different colors. The approach is applicable for classification and regression problems to explain interactions of two features towards the target. For classification models, the number of classes can be more than two and each class is added as a different color to the plot. The given instance is added to the plot as two dotted lines according to the feature values. The localICE-package can explain features of type factor and numeric of any machine learning model. Automatically supported machine learning packages are mlr', randomForest', caret or all other with an S3 predict function. For further model types from other libraries, a predict function has to be provided as an argument in order to get access to the model. Reference to the ICE approach: Alex Goldstein, Adam Kapelner, Justin Bleich, Emil Pitkin (2013) <arXiv:1309.6392>.

This package performs approximate GP regression for large computer experiments and spatial datasets. The approximation is based on finding small local designs for prediction (independently) at particular inputs. OpenMP and SNOW parallelization are supported for prediction over a vast out-of-sample testing set; GPU acceleration is also supported for an important subroutine. OpenMP and GPU features may require special compilation. An interface to lower-level (full) GP inference and prediction is provided. Wrapper routines for blackbox optimization under mixed equality and inequality constraints via an augmented Lagrangian scheme, and for large scale computer model calibration, are also provided. For details and tutorial, see Gramacy (2016 <doi:10.18637/jss.v072.i01>.

Fits look-up tables by filling entries with the mean or median values of observations fall in partitions of the feature space. Partitions can be determined by user of the package using input argument feature.boundaries, and dimensions of the feature space can be any combination of continuous and categorical features provided by the data set. A Predict function directly fetches corresponding entry value, and a default value is defined as the mean or median of all available observations. The table and other components are represented using the S4 class lookupTable.

Set of tools for analyzing vertical fuel continuity at the tree level using Airborne Laser Scanning data. The workflow consisted of: 1) calculating the vertical height profiles of each segmented tree; 2) identifying gaps and fuel layers; 3) estimating the distance between fuel layers; and 4) retrieving the fuel layers base height and depth. Additionally, other functions recalculate previous metrics after considering distances greater than certain threshold. Moreover, the package calculates: i) the percentage of Leaf Area Density comprised in each fuel layer, ii) remove fuel layers with Leaf Area Density (LAD) percentage less than 10, and iii) recalculate the distances among the reminder ones. On the other hand, it identifies the crown base height (CBH) based on different criteria: the fuel layer with the highest LAD percentage and the fuel layers located at the largest- and at the last-distance. When there is only one fuel layer, it also identifies the CBH performing a segmented linear regression (breaking points) on the cumulative sum of LAD as a function of height. Finally, a collection of plotting functions is developed to represent: i) the initial gaps and fuel layers; ii) the fuels base height, depths and gaps with distances greater than certain threshold and, iii) the CBH based on different criteria. The methods implemented in this package are original and have not been published elsewhere.
