This package provides a SAS interface, through SASPy'(<https://sassoftware.github.io/saspy/>) and reticulate'(<https://rstudio.github.io/reticulate/>). This package helps you create SAS sessions, execute SAS code in remote SAS servers, retrieve execution results and log, and exchange datasets between SAS and R'. It also helps you to install SASPy and create a configuration file for the connection. Please review the SASPy license file as instructed so that you comply with its separate and independent license.

Efficient estimation of multivariate skew-normal distribution in closed form.

Landsat satellites collect important data about global forest conditions. Documentation about Landsat's role in forest disturbance estimation is available at the site <https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/>. By constrained quadratic B-splines, this package delivers an optimal shape-restricted trajectory to a time series of Landsat imagery for the purpose of modeling annual forest disturbance dynamics to behave in an ecologically sensible manner assuming one of seven possible "shapes", namely, flat, decreasing, one-jump (decreasing, jump up, decreasing), inverted vee (increasing then decreasing), vee (decreasing then increasing), linear increasing, and double-jump (decreasing, jump up, decreasing, jump up, decreasing). The main routine selects the best shape according to the minimum Bayes information criterion (BIC) or the cone information criterion (CIC), which is defined as the log of the estimated predictive squared error. The package also provides parameters summarizing the temporal pattern including year(s) of inflection, magnitude of change, pre- and post-inflection rates of growth or recovery. In addition, it contains routines for converting a flat map of disturbance agents to time-series disturbance maps and a graphical routine displaying the fitted trajectory of Landsat imagery.

Analysis of species limits and DNA barcoding data. Included are functions for generating important summary statistics from DNA barcode data, assessing specimen identification efficacy, testing and optimizing divergence threshold limits, assessment of diagnostic nucleotides, and calculation of the probability of reciprocal monophyly.

Further information on the package has been published in Brown et al (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1755-0998.2011.03108.x>.

This package provides an R interface to a Rust implementation of the Shuffled Complex Evolution - University of Arizona (SCE-UA) global optimization algorithm (Duan et al., 1992). SCE-UA combines simplex search, competitive evolution, and complex shuffling to solve nonlinear, non-convex, continuous parameter estimation problems. The method is commonly used for calibrating hydrological and environmental models and follows the algorithm proposed by Duan et al. (1992) <doi:10.1029/91WR02985>.

The Swiss Ephemeris (version 2.10.03) is a high precision ephemeris based upon the DE431 ephemerides from NASA's JPL. It covers the time range 13201 BCE to 17191 CE. This package uses the semi-analytic theory by Steve Moshier. For faster and more accurate calculations, the compressed Swiss Ephemeris data is available in the swephRdata package. To access this data package, run install.packages("swephRdata", repos = "https://rstub.r-universe.dev", type = "source")'. The size of the swephRdata package is approximately 115 MB. The user can also use the original JPL DE431 data.

Basic and model-based soil physical analyses.

The sparseMatEst package provides functions for estimating sparse covariance and precision matrices with error control. A false positive rate is fixed corresponding to the probability of falsely including a matrix entry in the support of the estimator. It uses the binary search method outlined in Kashlak and Kong (2019) <arXiv:1705.02679> and in Kashlak (2019) <arXiv:1903.10988>.

This package contains space filling based tools for machine learning and data mining. Some functions offer several computational techniques and deal with the out of memory for large big data by using the ff package.

This package provides functions to nonparametrically assess assumptions sufficient to prevent the surrogate paradox through hypothesis tests of stochastic dominance, monotonicity of conditional mean functions, and non-negative residual treatment effect. Details are described in: Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L (2026). "Avoiding the surrogate paradox: an empirical framework for assessing assumptions." Journal of Nonparametric Statistics <doi:10.1080/10485252.2025.2498609>. There are also functions to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox via calculation of the resilience probability, the resilience bound, and the resilience set. Details will be available in Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L, "Resilience Measures for the Surrogate Paradox" (Under Review). Lastly, there is a function to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox in the met-analytic setting, described in Hsiao E and Parast L, "A Functional-Class Meta-Analytic Framework for Quantifying Surrogate Resilience" (Under Review). A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://www.laylaparast.com/surrogateparadoxtest>.

Alternative to using withCallingHandlers() in the simple case of catch and rethrow. The `%!%` operator evaluates the expression on its left hand side, and if an error occurs, the right hand side is used to construct a new error that embeds the original error.

Statistical analysis of spatio-temporal point processes on linear networks. This packages provides tools to visualise and analyse spatio-temporal point patterns on linear networks using first, second, and higher-order summary statistics.

It is often useful to produce short, quasi-unique identifiers (SQUIDs) without the benefit of a central authority to prevent duplication. Although Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) provide for this, these are also unwieldy; for example, the most used UUID, version 4, is 36 characters long. SQUIDs are short (8 characters) at the expense of having more collisions, which can be mitigated by combining them with human-produced suffixes, yielding relatively brief, half human-readable, almost-unique identifiers (see for example the identifiers used for Decentralized Construct Taxonomies; Peters & Crutzen, 2024 <doi:10.15626/MP.2022.3638>). SQUIDs are the number of centiseconds elapsed since the beginning of 1970 converted to a base 30 system. This package contains functions to produce SQUIDs as well as convert them back into dates and times.

Reconstructs forest stand basal area and stem density at user-specified reference years using tree-level inventory data. The method estimates missing tree ages, back-calculates diameters using species-specific growth rates, and incorporates decay-class-based decomposition to infer mortality timing for dead trees. Results are returned in a tidy long format suitable for analysis and visualization.

This package provides functions for conducting jackknife Euclidean / empirical likelihood inference for Spearman's rho (de Carvalho and Marques (2012) <doi:10.1080/10920277.2012.10597644>).

Collision Risk Models for avian fauna (seabird and migratory birds) at offshore wind farms. The base deterministic model is derived from Band (2012) <https://tethys.pnnl.gov/publications/using-collision-risk-model-assess-bird-collision-risks-offshore-wind-farms>. This was further expanded on by Masden (2015) <doi:10.7489/1659-1> and code used here is heavily derived from this work with input from Dr A. Cook at the British Trust for Ornithology. These collision risk models are useful for marine ornithologists who are working in the offshore wind industry, particularly in UK waters. However, many of the species included in the stochastic collision risk models can also be found in the North Atlantic in the United States and Canada, and could be applied there.
