Particle swarm optimization - a basic variant.

Complex graphical representations of data are best explored using interactive elements. parcats adds interactive graphing capabilities to the easyalluvial package. The plotly.js parallel categories diagrams offer a good framework for creating interactive flow graphs that allow manual drag and drop sorting of dimensions and categories, highlighting single flows and displaying mouse over information. The plotly.js dependency is quite heavy and therefore is outsourced into a separate package.

The Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree problem asks to find a subgraph connecting a given set of vertices with the most expensive nodes and least expensive edges. Since it is proven to be NP-hard, exact and efficient algorithm does not exist. This package provides convenient functionality for obtaining an approximate solution to this problem using loopy belief propagation algorithm.

Calculate seat apportionment for legislative bodies with various methods. The algorithms include divisor or highest averages methods (e.g. Jefferson, Webster or Adams), largest remainder methods and biproportional apportionment. Gaffke, N. & Pukelsheim, F.

Fast exponentiation when the exponent is an integer.

Means to predict process flow, such as process outcome, next activity, next time, remaining time, and remaining trace. Off-the-shelf predictive models based on the concept of Transformers are provided, as well as multiple way to customize the models. This package is partly based on work described in Zaharah A. Bukhsh, Aaqib Saeed, & Remco M. Dijkman. (2021). "ProcessTransformer: Predictive Business Process Monitoring with Transformer Network" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2104.00721>.

Linear dynamic panel data modeling based on linear and nonlinear moment conditions as proposed by Holtz-Eakin, Newey, and Rosen (1988) <doi:10.2307/1913103>, Ahn and Schmidt (1995) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(94)01641-C>, and Arellano and Bover (1995) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(94)01642-D>. Estimation of the model parameters relies on the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and instrumental variables (IV) estimation, numerical optimization (when nonlinear moment conditions are employed) and the computation of closed form solutions (when estimation is based on linear moment conditions). One-step, two-step and iterated estimation is available. For inference and specification testing, Windmeijer (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2004.02.005> and doubly corrected standard errors (Hwang, Kang, Lee, 2021 <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.09.010>) are available. Additionally, serial correlation tests, tests for overidentification, and Wald tests are provided. Functions for visualizing panel data structures and modeling results obtained from GMM estimation are also available. The plot methods include functions to plot unbalanced panel structure, coefficient ranges and coefficient paths across GMM iterations (the latter is implemented according to the plot shown in Hansen and Lee, 2021 <doi:10.3982/ECTA16274>). For a more detailed description of the GMM-based functionality, please see Fritsch, Pua, Schnurbus (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-035>. For more details on the IV-based estimation routines, see Fritsch, Pua, and Schnurbus (WP, 2024) and Han and Phillips (2010) <doi:10.1017/S026646660909063X>.

It offers a wide variety of techniques, such as graphics, recoding, or regression models, for a comprehensive analysis of patient-reported outcomes (PRO). Especially novel is the broad range of regression models based on the beta-binomial distribution useful for analyzing binomial data with over-dispersion in cross-sectional, longitudinal, or multidimensional response studies (see Najera-Zuloaga J., Lee D.-J. and Arostegui I. (2019) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201700251>).

Simulates pooled sequencing data under a variety of conditions. Also allows for the evaluation of the average absolute difference between allele frequencies computed from genotypes and those computed from pooled data. Carvalho et al., (2022) <doi:10.1101/2023.01.20.524733>.

This package provides a customisable R shiny app for immersively visualising, mapping and annotating panospheric (360 degree) imagery. The flexible interface allows annotation of any geocoded images using up to 4 user specified drop-down menus. The app uses leaflet to render maps that display the geo-locations of images and Panellum <https://pannellum.org/>, a lightweight panorama viewer for the web, to render images in virtual 360 degree viewing mode. Key functions include the ability to draw on & export parts of 360 images for downstream applications. Users can also draw polygons and points on map imagery related to the panoramic images and export them for further analysis. Downstream applications include using annotations to train Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) models and geospatial modelling and analysis of camera based survey data.

Uses provenance collected by rdtLite package or comparable tool to display information about input files, output files, and exchanged files for a single R script or a series of R scripts.

Convert English letters to numbers or numbers to English letters as on a telephone keypad. When converting letters to numbers, a character vector is returned with "A," "B," or "C" becoming 2, "D," "E", or "F" becoming 3, etc. When converting numbers to letters, a character vector is returned with multiple elements (i.e., "2" becomes a vector of "A," "B," and "C").

Several functions introduced in Aster et al.'s book on inverse theory. The functions are often translations of MATLAB code developed by the authors to illustrate concepts of inverse theory as applied to geophysics. Generalized inversion, tomographic inversion algorithms (conjugate gradients, ART and SIRT'), non-linear least squares, first and second order Tikhonov regularization, roughness constraints, and procedures for estimating smoothing parameters are included.

This package provides a pipe-friendly R client for PX-Web statistical APIs. Provides a search-then-fetch workflow for discovering and downloading data from national statistics agencies (SCB, SSB, Statistics Finland, etc.) using a consistent tibble-based interface.

Because larger (> 50 MB) data files cannot easily be committed to git, a different approach is required to manage data associated with an analysis in a GitHub repository. This package provides a simple work-around by allowing larger (up to 2 GB) data files to piggyback on a repository as assets attached to individual GitHub releases. These files are not handled by git in any way, but instead are uploaded, downloaded, or edited directly by calls through the GitHub API. These data files can be versioned manually by creating different releases. This approach works equally well with public or private repositories. Data can be uploaded and downloaded programmatically from scripts. No authentication is required to download data from public repositories.
