This package provides intuitive functions for caching R objects, encouraging reproducible, restartable, and distributed R analysis. The user selects a location to store caches, and then provides nothing more than a cache name and instructions (R code) for how to produce the R object. Also provides some advanced options like environment assignments, recreating or reloading caches, and cluster compute bindings (using the batchtools package) making it flexible enough for use in large-scale data analysis projects.

Offers a solution for the unavailability of raw data in most anthropological studies by facilitating the calculations of several sexual dimorphism related analyses using the published summary statistics of metric data (mean, standard deviation and sex specific sample size) as illustrated by the works of Relethford, J. H., & Hodges, D. C. (1985) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330660105>, Greene, D. L. (1989) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330790113> and Konigsberg, L. W. (1991) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330840110>.

The imcdatasets package provides access to publicly available IMC datasets. IMC is a technology that enables measurement of > 40 proteins from tissue sections. The generated images can be segmented to extract single cell data. Datasets typically consist of three elements: a SingleCellExperiment object containing single cell data, a CytoImageList object containing multichannel images and a CytoImageList object containing the cell masks that were used to extract the single cell data from the images.

This package computes optimized distance and similarity measures for comparing probability functions (Drost (2018) <doi:10.21105/joss.00765>). These comparisons between probability functions have their foundations in a broad range of scientific disciplines from mathematics to ecology. The aim of this package is to provide a core framework for clustering, classification, statistical inference, goodness-of-fit, non-parametric statistics, information theory, and machine learning tasks that are based on comparing univariate or multivariate probability functions.

This package implements fast hierarchical, agglomerative clustering routines. Part of the functionality is designed as drop-in replacement for existing routines: linkage() in the SciPy package scipy.cluster.hierarchy, hclust() in R's stats package, and the flashClust package. It provides the same functionality with the benefit of a much faster implementation. Moreover, there are memory-saving routines for clustering of vector data, which go beyond what the existing packages provide.

This package simplifies this process by 1. Providing ready-made functions for creating choropleths of common maps. 2. Providing data and API connections to interesting data sources for making choropleths. 3. Providing a framework for creating choropleths from arbitrary shapefiles. 4. Overlaying those maps over reference maps from Google Maps'.

Variable selection for Gaussian model-based clustering as implemented in the mclust package. The methodology allows to find the (locally) optimal subset of variables in a data set that have group/cluster information. A greedy or headlong search can be used, either in a forward-backward or backward-forward direction, with or without sub-sampling at the hierarchical clustering stage for starting mclust models. By default the algorithm uses a sequential search, but parallelisation is also available.

Access and manage the application programming interface (API) of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) ReliefWeb disaster events at <https://reliefweb.int/disasters>. The package requires a minimal number of dependencies. It offers functionality to retrieve a user-defined sample of disaster events from ReliefWeb, providing an easy alternative to scraping the ReliefWeb website. It enables a seamless integration of regular data updates into the research work flow.

This package provides tools for Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation and performance analysis. Simulate MCMC algorithms including adaptive MCMC, evaluate their convergence rate, and compare candidate MCMC algorithms for a same target density, based on entropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence criteria. MCMC algorithms can be simulated using provided functions, or imported from external codes. This package is based upon work starting with Chauveau, D. and Vandekerkhove, P. (2013) <doi:10.1051/ps/2012004> and next articles.

L-systems or Lindenmayer systems are parallel rewriting systems which can be used to simulate biological forms and certain kinds of fractals. Briefly, in an L-system a series of symbols in a string are replaced iteratively according to rules to give a more complex string. Eventually, the symbols are translated into turtle graphics for plotting. Wikipedia has a very good introduction: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system This package provides basic functions for exploring L-systems.

The mlrMBO package can ordinarily not be used for optimization within mlr3', because of incompatibilities of their respective class systems. mlrintermbo offers a compatibility interface that provides mlrMBO as an mlr3tuning Tuner object, for tuning of machine learning algorithms within mlr3', as well as a bbotk Optimizer object for optimization of general objective functions using the bbotk black box optimization framework. The control parameters of mlrMBO are faithfully reproduced as a paradox ParamSet'.

The method for MRT with binary outcomes is the estimator for marginal excursion effect (EMEE) by Qian et al. (2021) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa070>.

This package provides quality control (QC), normalization, and batch effect correction operations for NanoString nCounter data, Talhouk et al. (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0153844>. Various metrics are used to determine which samples passed or failed QC. Gene expression should first be normalized to housekeeping genes, before a reference-based approach is used to adjust for batch effects. Raw NanoString data can be imported in the form of Reporter Code Count (RCC) files.

This package provides functions for solving systems of delay differential equations by interfacing with numerical routines written by Simon N. Wood, including contributions from Benjamin J. Cairns. These numerical routines first appeared in Simon Wood's solv95 program. This package includes a vignette and a complete user's guide. PBSddesolve originally appeared on CRAN under the name ddesolve'. That version is no longer supported. The current name emphasizes a close association with other PBS packages, particularly PBSmodelling'.
