This package implements a density-free recentered influence function (RIF) regression framework for unconditional expectiles, and embeds it in a two-sample Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition indexed continuously by the expectile level. Unlike quantile-based RIF decompositions, which require estimating an inverse density term at each quantile, the expectile RIF depends only on primitive moments of the outcome distribution and requires no density estimation, no bandwidth selection, and no kernel smoothing. The package provides expectile estimation by iteratively reweighted least squares, closed-form RIF construction, two-sample composition/structure decomposition across a grid of expectile levels, bootstrap-based inference, and plotting methods. The underlying methodology is described in Ndoye (2025), "Semi-Nonparametric Expectile RIF Regression for Distributional Decomposition," presented at the 2025 World Congress of the Econometric Society, Seoul, Korea, <https://www.econometricsociety.org/regional-activities/conference-papers/view/282/943>.

This powerful ensemble model is designed for both classification (Ara A., et. al, 2021) <doi:10.6339/21-JDS1014>, and regression (Ara A., et. al, 2021) <doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2022.117107> problems, offering versatility and robust performance across different datasets and compared with other consolidated methods as Random Forests (Maia M, et. al, 2021) <doi:10.6339/21-JDS1025>.

These tools implement in R a fundamental part of the software PACTA (Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment), which is a free tool that calculates the alignment between financial portfolios and climate scenarios (<https://www.transitionmonitor.com/>). Financial institutions use PACTA to study how their capital allocation decisions align with climate change mitigation goals. This package matches data from corporate lending portfolios to asset level data from market-intelligence databases (e.g. power plant capacities, emission factors, etc.). This is the first step to assess if a financial portfolio aligns with climate goals.

Biodiversity is in crisis. The overarching aim of conservation is to preserve biodiversity patterns and processes. To this end, protected areas are established to buffer species and preserve biodiversity processes. But resources are limited and so protected areas must be cost-effective. This package contains tools to generate plans for protected areas (prioritizations), using spatially explicit targets for biodiversity patterns and processes. To obtain solutions in a feasible amount of time, this package uses the commercial Gurobi software (obtained from <https://www.gurobi.com/>). For more information on using this package, see Hanson et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12862>.

This package provides tools for molecule-oriented and reaction-centred analysis of root exudate datasets. It supports structural matching based on PubChem', calculation of molecular descriptors, and inference of candidate microbe-associated metabolic reactions using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes ('KEGG') identifiers and Enzyme Commission ('EC') numbers. For background on these databases, see Kanehisa et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkac963> and Kim et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkac956>.

We propose a general ensemble classification framework, RaSE algorithm, for the sparse classification problem. In RaSE algorithm, for each weak learner, some random subspaces are generated and the optimal one is chosen to train the model on the basis of some criterion. To be adapted to the problem, a novel criterion, ratio information criterion (RIC) is put up with based on Kullback-Leibler divergence. Besides minimizing RIC, multiple criteria can be applied, for instance, minimizing extended Bayesian information criterion (eBIC), minimizing training error, minimizing the validation error, minimizing the cross-validation error, minimizing leave-one-out error. There are various choices of base classifier, for instance, linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbour, logistic regression, decision trees, random forest, support vector machines. RaSE algorithm can also be applied to do feature ranking, providing us the importance of each feature based on the selected percentage in multiple subspaces. RaSE framework can be extended to the general prediction framework, including both classification and regression. We can use the selected percentages of variables for variable screening. The latest version added the variable screening function for both regression and classification problems.

This package provides a wrapper for running the bundled Open-WBO Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) solver (<https://github.com/sat-group/open-wbo>). Users can pass command-line arguments to the solver and capture its output as a character string or file.

An algorithm which can be used to determine an objective threshold for signal-noise separation in large random matrices (correlation matrices, mutual information matrices, network adjacency matrices) is provided. The package makes use of the results of Random Matrix Theory (RMT). The algorithm increments a suppositional threshold monotonically, thereby recording the eigenvalue spacing distribution of the matrix. According to RMT, that distribution undergoes a characteristic change when the threshold properly separates signal from noise. By using the algorithm, the modular structure of a matrix - or of the corresponding network - can be unraveled.

Simulates individual-based models of agricultural pest management and the evolution of pesticide resistance. Management occurs on a spatially explicit landscape that is divided into an arbitrary number of farms that can grow one of up to 10 crops and apply one of up to 10 pesticides. Pest genomes are modelled in a way that allows for any number of pest traits with an arbitrary covariance structure that is constructed using an evolutionary algorithm in the mine_gmatrix() function. Simulations are then run using the run_farm_sim() function. This package thereby allows for highly mechanistic social-ecological models of the evolution of pesticide resistance under different types of crop rotation and pesticide application regimes.

Downloads and imports agricultural data from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) <https://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares> and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) <https://www.abs.gov.au>.

Covers topics such as broadacre crops, livestock, soils, commodities and related agricultural information. The package standardises field names and data formats to improve interoperability and simplify analysis. It also streamlines the import of geospatial data and corrects common issues found in these data sources upon loading.

Reproducibility is essential to the progress of research, yet achieving it remains elusive even in computational fields. Continuous Integration (CI) platforms offer a powerful way to launch automated workflows to check and document code, but often require considerable time, effort, and technical expertise to setup. We therefore developed the rworkflows suite to make robust CI workflows easy and freely accessible to all R package developers. rworkflows consists of 1) a CRAN/Bioconductor-compatible R package template, 2) an R package to quickly implement a standardised workflow, and 3) a centrally maintained GitHub Action.
