This package provides a collection of personal functions designed to simplify and streamline common R programming tasks. This package provides reusable tools and shortcuts for frequently used calculations and workflows.

Optimization of any Black-Box/Non-Convex Function on Hyper-Rectangular Parameter Space. It uses a Variation of Pattern Search Technique. Described in the paper : Das (2016) <arXiv:1604.08616> .

Queries data from WHOIS servers.

Reproducible research tools automates the creation of an analysis directory structure and work flow. There are R markdown skeletons which encapsulate typical analytic work flow steps. Functions will create appropriate modules which may pass data from one step to another.

The cnpy library written by Carl Rogers provides read and write facilities for files created with (or for) the NumPy extension for Python'. Vectors and matrices of numeric types can be read or written to and from files as well as compressed files. Support for integer files is available if the package has been built with as C++11 which should be the default on all platforms since the release of R 3.3.0.

Statistical tools for the Mallows-Binomial model, the first joint statistical model for preference learning for rankings and ratings. This project was supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2019901.

Helps to prepare a release. Before releasing an R package it is important to update the DESCRIPTION file and the changelog. This package prepares these files and also updates the versions according to the branches. It relies heavily on the desc packages.

The rkafkajars package collects all the external jars required for the rkafka package.

Enhances the R Optimization Infrastructure ('ROI') package by registering the quadprog solver. It allows for solving quadratic programming (QP) problems.

This package provides a tool to exchange data between R and Raven sound analysis software (Cornell Lab of Ornithology). Functions work on data formats compatible with the R package warbleR'.

Encapsulates functions to streamline calls from R to the REDCap API. REDCap (Research Electronic Data CAPture) is a web application for building and managing online surveys and databases developed at Vanderbilt University. The Application Programming Interface (API) offers an avenue to access and modify data programmatically, improving the capacity for literate and reproducible programming.

This package provides tools for grading the coding style and documentation of R scripts. This is the R component of Roger the Omni Grader, an automated grading system for computer programming projects based on Unix shell scripts; see <https://gitlab.com/roger-project>. The package also provides an R interface to the shell scripts. Inspired by the lintr package.

This package provides functions to access data from the Strava v3 API <https://developers.strava.com/>.

Issues RPC-JSON calls to bitcoind', the daemon of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), to extract transaction data from the blockchain. BCH is a fork of Bitcoin that permits a greater number of transactions per second. A BCH daemon is available under an MIT license from the Bitcoin Unlimited website <https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info>.

This package provides a part of precision agriculture is linked to the spectral image obtained from the cameras. With the image information of the agricultural experiment, the included functions facilitate the collection of spectral data associated with the experimental units. Some designs generated in R are linked to the images, which allows the use of the information of each pixel of the image in the experimental unit and the treatment. Tables and images are generated for the analysis of the precision agriculture experiment during the entire vegetative period of the crop.

The Refugee Population Statistics Database published by The Office of The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) contains information about forcibly displaced populations spanning more than 70 years of statistical activities. It covers displaced populations such as refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people, including their demographics. Stateless people are also included, most of who have never been displaced. The database also reflects the different types of solutions for displaced populations such as repatriation or resettlement. More information on the data and methodology can be found on the UNHCR Refugee Data Finder <https://www.unhcr.org/refugee-statistics/>.

Implementation of Kernelized score functions and other semi-supervised learning algorithms for node label ranking to analyze biomolecular networks. RANKS can be easily applied to a large set of different relevant problems in computational biology, ranging from automatic protein function prediction, to gene disease prioritization and drug repositioning, and more in general to any bioinformatics problem that can be formalized as a node label ranking problem in a graph. The modular nature of the implementation allows to experiment with different score functions and kernels and to easily compare the results with baseline network-based methods such as label propagation and random walk algorithms, as well as to enlarge the algorithmic scheme by adding novel user-defined score functions and kernels.

Integrated tools to support rigorous and well documented data harmonization based on Maelstrom Research guidelines. The package includes functions to assess and prepare input elements, apply specified processing rules to generate harmonized datasets, validate data processing and identify processing errors, and document and summarize harmonized outputs. The harmonization process is defined and structured by two key user-generated documents: the DataSchema (specifying the list of harmonized variables to generate across datasets) and the Data Processing Elements (specifying the input elements and processing algorithms to generate harmonized variables in DataSchema formats). The package was developed to address key challenges of retrospective data harmonization in epidemiology (as described in Fortier I and al. (2017) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyw075>) but can be used for any data harmonization initiative.

Symbolic Data Analysis (SDA) was proposed by professor Edwin Diday in 1987, the main purpose of SDA is to substitute the set of rows (cases) in the data table for a concept (second order statistical unit). This package implements, to the symbolic case, certain techniques of automatic classification, as well as some linear models.
