FRACTRAN is an obscure yet tantalizing programming language invented by John Conway of Game of Life fame. The code consists of a sequence of fractions. The rules are simple. First, select an integer to initialize the process. Second, multiply the integer by the first fraction. If an integer results, start again with the new integer. If not, try the next fraction. Finally, if no such multiplication yields an integer, terminate the program. For more information, see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRACTRAN> .

This package provides a fast calculation of the Blyth-Still-Casella confidence interval. The implementation follows the StatXact 9 manual (Cytel 2010) and "Refining Binomial Confidence Intervals" by George Casella (1986) <doi:10.2307/3314658>.

Utility functions for interacting with the COMPADRE and COMADRE databases of matrix population models. Described in Jones et al. (2021) <doi:10.1101/2021.04.26.441330>.

Radiomics image analysis toolbox for 2D and 3D radiological images. RIA supports DICOM, NIfTI, nrrd and npy (numpy array) file formats. RIA calculates first-order, gray level co-occurrence matrix, gray level run length matrix and geometry-based statistics. Almost all calculations are done using vectorized formulas to optimize run speeds. Calculation of several thousands of parameters only takes minutes on a single core of a conventional PC. Detailed methodology has been published: Kolossvary et al. Circ: Cardiovascular Imaging. 2017;10(12):e006843 <doi: 10.1161/CIRCIMAGING.117.006843>.

Utilities for accessing RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) through a RESTful API. You can request a code and get detailed information at the following page: <https://ideas.repec.org/api.html>.

This package uses either the statconnDCOM server (via the rcom package) or the RDCOMClient to communicate with MS-Word via the COM interface.

R Commander plug-in to demonstrate various actuarial and financial risks. It includes valuation of bonds and stocks, portfolio optimization, classical ruin theory, demography and epidemic.

Simple methods to generate attractive random colors. The random colors are from a wrapper of randomColor.js <https://github.com/davidmerfield/randomColor>. In addition, it also generates optimally distinct colors based on k-means (inspired by IWantHue <https://github.com/medialab/iwanthue>).

Accurately estimates the reliability of cognitive tasks using a fast and flexible permutation-based split-half reliability algorithm that supports stratified splitting while maintaining equal split sizes. See Kahveci, Bathke, and Blechert (2025) <doi:10.3758/s13423-024-02597-y> for details.

This package provides a rolling version of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation, see Rieger et al. (2021) <doi:10.18653/v1/2021.findings-emnlp.201>. By a sequential approach, it enables the construction of LDA-based time series of topics that are consistent with previous states of LDA models. After an initial modeling, updates can be computed efficiently, allowing for real-time monitoring and detection of events or structural breaks.

Datasets and utility functions to support the book "R for Plant Disease Epidemiology" (R4PDE). It includes functions for quantifying disease, assessing spatial patterns, and modeling plant disease epidemics based on weather predictors. These tools are intended for teaching and research in plant disease epidemiology. Several functions are based on classical and contemporary methods, including those discussed in Laurence V. Madden, Gareth Hughes, and Frank van den Bosch (2007) <doi:10.1094/9780890545058>.

This package creates interactive graphs with R'. It joins the data analysis power of R and the visualization libraries of JavaScript in one package.

This package provides functions to implement the parametric and non-parametric bootstrap confidence interval methods described in Morrison and Simon (2017) <arXiv:1702.06986>.

For a sequence of event occurence times, we are interested in finding subsequences in it that are too "regular". We define regular as being significantly different from a homogeneous Poisson process. The departure from the Poisson process is measured using a L1 distance. See Di and Perlman 2007 for more details.

Random univariate and multivariate finite mixture model generation, estimation, clustering, latent class analysis and classification. Variables can be continuous, discrete, independent or dependent and may follow normal, lognormal, Weibull, gamma, Gumbel, binomial, Poisson, Dirac, uniform or circular von Mises parametric families.

Package of data sets from "Mathematical Statistics with Resampling in R" (1st Ed. 2011, 2nd Ed. 2018) by Laura Chihara and Tim Hesterberg.

This package provides functions for connecting to and interfacing with an Arduino or similar device. Functionality includes uploading of sketches, setting and reading digital and analog pins, and rudimentary servo control. This project is not affiliated with the Arduino company, <https://www.arduino.cc/>.

This package provides two general frameworks to generate a multi-layer network. This also provides several methods to reveal the embedding of both nodes and layers. The reference paper can be found from the URL mentioned below. Ting Li, Zhongyuan Lyu, Chenyu Ren, Dong Xia (2023) <arXiv:2302.04437>.

Access to Boost Date_Time functionality for dates, durations (both for days and date time objects), time zones, and posix time ('ptime') is provided by using Rcpp modules'. The posix time implementation can support high-resolution of up to nano-second precision by using 96 bits (instead of 64 with R) to present a ptime object (but this needs recompilation with a #define set).

Assessing and comparing risk prediction rules for clustered data. The method is based on the paper: Rosner B, Qiu W, and Lee MLT.(2013) <doi: 10.1007/s10985-012-9240-6>.

This package provides a framework for estimating ensembles of parametric survival models with different parametric families. The RoBSA framework uses Bayesian model-averaging to combine the competing parametric survival models into a model ensemble, weights the posterior parameter distributions based on posterior model probabilities and uses Bayes factors to test for the presence or absence of the individual predictors or preference for a parametric family (BartoÅ¡, Aust & Haaf, 2022, <doi:10.1186/s12874-022-01676-9>). The user can define a wide range of informative priors for all parameters of interest. The package provides convenient functions for summary, visualizations, fit diagnostics, and prior distribution calibration.

Read Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) XML data. This the main transmission format used in official statistics. Data can be imported from local SDMX-ML files or a SDMX web-service and will be read in as is into a dataframe object. The RapidXML C++ library <https://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/> is used to parse the XML data.
