Suppose we have a data matrix, which is the superposition of a low-rank component and a sparse component. Candes, E. J., Li, X., Ma, Y., & Wright, J. (2011). Robust principal component analysis?. Journal of the ACM (JACM), 58(3), 11. prove that we can recover each component individually under some suitable assumptions. It is possible to recover both the low-rank and the sparse components exactly by solving a very convenient convex program called Principal Component Pursuit; among all feasible decompositions, simply minimize a weighted combination of the nuclear norm and of the L1 norm. This package implements this decomposition algorithm resulting with Robust PCA approach.

Used for generating randomized community matrices under strict range cohesion. The package can handle data where species occurrence are recorded across sites ordered along gradients such as elevation and latitude, as well as species occurrences recorded on spatial grids with known geographic coordinates.

The Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator (SNNS) is a library containing many standard implementations of neural networks. This package wraps the SNNS functionality to make it available from within R. Using the RSNNS low-level interface, all of the algorithmic functionality and flexibility of SNNS can be accessed. Furthermore, the package contains a convenient high-level interface, so that the most common neural network topologies and learning algorithms integrate seamlessly into R.

Simulation of random orthonormal matrices from linear and quadratic exponential family distributions on the Stiefel manifold. The most general type of distribution covered is the matrix-variate Bingham-von Mises-Fisher distribution. Most of the simulation methods are presented in Hoff(2009) "Simulation of the Matrix Bingham-von Mises-Fisher Distribution, With Applications to Multivariate and Relational Data" <doi:10.1198/jcgs.2009.07177>. The package also includes functions for optimization on the Stiefel manifold based on algorithms described in Wen and Yin (2013) "A feasible method for optimization with orthogonality constraints" <doi:10.1007/s10107-012-0584-1>.

An interface to the powerful and fairly complete computer algebra system Maxima'. It can be used to start and control Maxima from within R by entering Maxima commands. Results from Maxima can be parsed and evaluated in R. It facilitates outputting results from Maxima in LaTeX and MathML'. 2D and 3D plots can be displayed directly. This package also registers a knitr'-engine enabling Maxima code chunks to be written in RMarkdown documents.

This package performs RNA emulation and active learning proposed by Heo and Sung (2025) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2024.2376173> for multi-fidelity computer experiments. The RNA emulator is particularly useful when the simulations with different fidelity level are nonlinearly correlated. The hyperparameters in the model are estimated by maximum likelihood estimation.

Generate basic charts either by custom applications, or from a small script launched from the system console, or within the R console. Two ASCII text files are necessary: (1) The graph parameters file, which name is passed to the function rplotengine()'. The user can specify the titles, choose the type of the graph, graph output formats (e.g. png, eps), proportion of the X-axis and Y-axis, position of the legend, whether to show or not a grid at the background, etc. (2) The data to be plotted, which name is specified as a parameter ('data_filename') in the previous file. This data file has a tabulated format, with a single character (e.g. tab) between each column. Optionally, the file could include data columns for showing confidence intervals.

This project is a tool for words edit similarity joins (a.k.a. all-pairs similarity search) under small (< 3) edit distance constraints. It works for Levenshtein/Hamming distances and words from any alphabet. The software was originally developed for joining amino-acid/nucleotide sequences from Adaptive Immune Repertoires, where the number of words is relatively large (10^5-10^6) and the average length of words is relatively small (10-100).

Finds the k nearest neighbours for every point in a given dataset using Jose Luis nanoflann library. There is support for exact searches, fixed radius searches with kd trees and two distances, the Euclidean and Manhattan'. For more information see <https://github.com/jlblancoc/nanoflann>. Also, the nanoflann library is exported and ready to be used via the linking to mechanism.

Quickly install Java Development Kit (JDK) without administrative privileges and set environment variables in current R session or project to solve common issues with Java environment management in R'. Recommended to users of Java'/'rJava'-dependent R packages such as r5r', opentripplanner', xlsx', openNLP', rWeka', RJDBC', tabulapdf', and many more. rJavaEnv prevents common problems like Java not found, Java version conflicts, missing Java installations, and the inability to install Java due to lack of administrative privileges. rJavaEnv automates the download, installation, and setup of the Java on a per-project basis by setting the relevant JAVA_HOME in the current R session or the current working directory (via .Rprofile', with the user's consent). Similar to what renv does for R packages, rJavaEnv allows different Java versions to be used across different projects, but can also be configured to allow multiple versions within the same project (e.g. with the help of targets package). Note: there are a few extra steps for Linux users, who don't have any Java previously installed in their system, and who prefer package installation from source, rather then installing binaries from Posit Package Manager'. See documentation for details.

An integrated set of tools to allow data users to conduct meteorological normalisation and counterfactual modelling for air quality data. The meteorological normalisation technique uses predictive random forest models to remove variation of pollutant concentrations so trends and interventions can be explored in a robust way. For examples, see Grange et al. (2018) <doi:10.5194/acp-18-6223-2018> and Grange and Carslaw (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.10.344>. The random forest models can also be used for counterfactual or business as usual (BAU) modelling by using the models to predict, from the model's perspective, the future. For an example, see Grange et al. (2021) <doi:10.5194/acp-2020-1171>.

This package implements an interface to Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) worlds. Supports the analysis and management of these worlds and game saves.

Supports automated Markov chain Monte Carlo for arbitrarily structured correlation matrices. The user supplies data, a correlation matrix in symbolic form, the current state of the chain, a function that computes the log likelihood, and a list of prior distributions. The package's flagship function then carries out a parameter-at-a-time update of all correlation parameters, and returns the new state. The method is presented in Hughes (2023), in preparation.
