REDCap Data Management - REDCap (Research Electronic Data CAPture; <https://projectredcap.org>) is a web application developed at Vanderbilt University, designed for creating and managing online surveys and databases and the REDCap API is an interface that allows external applications to connect to REDCap remotely, and is used to programmatically retrieve or modify project data or settings within REDCap, such as importing or exporting data. REDCapDM is an R package that allows users to manage data exported directly from REDCap or using an API connection. This package includes several functions designed for pre-processing data, generating reports of queries such as outliers or missing values, and following up on previously identified queries.

This package contains several useful navigation helper functions, including easily building folder paths, quick viewing dataframes in Excel', creating date vectors and changing the console prompt to reflect time.

This package provides a wrapper for the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (German National Library) API', available at <https://www.dnb.de/EN/Home/home_node.html>. The German National Library is the German central archival library, collecting, archiving, bibliographically classifying all German and German-language publications, foreign publications about Germany, translations of German works, and the works of German-speaking emigrants published abroad between 1933 and 1945.

This package provides a port of Ruby Warrior. Teaches R programming in a fun and interactive way.

The features include: parallel computing with OpenMP, embedded model for selecting the splitting variable, based on Zhu, Zeng & Kosorok (2015) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1036994>, subject weight, variable weight, tracking subjects used in each tree, etc.

This package contains three functions that query AuriQ Systems Essentia Database and return the results in R. essQuery takes a single Essentia command and captures the output in R, where you can save the output to a dataframe or stream it directly into additional analysis. read.essentia takes an Essentia script and captures the output csv data into R, where you can save the output to a dataframe or stream it directly into additional analysis. capture.essentia takes a file containing any number of Essentia commands and captures the output of the specified statements into R dataframes. Essentia can be downloaded for free at http://www.auriq.com/documentation/source/install/index.html.

R interface to the LTP'-Cloud service for Natural Language Processing in Chinese (http://www.ltp-cloud.com/).

This package provides tools for robust regression model fitting using the RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus) algorithm. RANSAC is an iterative method to estimate parameters of a model from a dataset that contains outliers. This package allows fitting both linear lm and nonlinear nls models using RANSAC, helping users obtain more reliable models in the presence of noisy or corrupted data. The methods are particularly useful in contexts where traditional least squares regression fails due to the influence of outliers. Implementations include support for performance metrics such as RMSE, MAE, and R² based on the inlier subset. For further details, see Fischler and Bolles (1981) <doi:10.1145/358669.358692>.

This package provides a high-performance interface for calculating string similarities and distances, leveraging the efficient library RapidFuzz <https://github.com/rapidfuzz/rapidfuzz-cpp>. This package integrates the C++ implementation, allowing R users to access cutting-edge algorithms for fuzzy matching and text analysis.

Sample size and confidence interval calculations in reversible catalytic models, with applications in malaria research. Further details can be found in the paper by Sepúlveda and Drakeley (2015, <doi:10.1186/s12936-015-0661-z>).

This package provides a means to style plots through cascading style sheets. This separates the aesthetics from the data crunching in plots and charts.

Functionality to download stock prices, cryptocurrency data, and more from the Tiingo API <https://api.tiingo.com/>.

This package provides a programmatic interface to FishBase', re-written based on an accompanying RESTful API. Access tables describing over 30,000 species of fish, their biology, ecology, morphology, and more. This package also supports experimental access to SeaLifeBase data, which contains nearly 200,000 species records for all types of aquatic life not covered by FishBase.'.

This package provides a programmatic interface to the API provided by the iNaturalist website <https://www.inaturalist.org/> to download species occurrence data submitted by citizen scientists.

Fits a multivariate value-added model (VAM), see Broatch, Green, and Karl (2018) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-033> and Broatch and Lohr (2012) <doi:10.3102/1076998610396900>, with normally distributed test scores and a binary outcome indicator. A pseudo-likelihood approach, Wolfinger (1993) <doi:10.1080/00949659308811554>, is used for the estimation of this joint generalized linear mixed model. The inner loop of the pseudo-likelihood routine (estimation of a linear mixed model) occurs in the framework of the EM algorithm presented by Karl, Yang, and Lohr (2013) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2012.10.004>. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under grants DRL-1336027 and DRL-1336265.

Adds menu items to the R Commander for implementing case 1 (object case) best-worst scaling (BWS1) from designing choice sets to measuring preferences for items. BWS1 is a question-based survey method that constructs various combinations of items (choice sets) using the experimental designs, asks respondents to select the best and worst items in each choice set, and then measures preferences for the items by analyzing the responses. For details, refer to Aizaki and Fogarty (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jocm.2022.100394>.

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.

This package provides a set of functions to build simple GUI controls for R functions. These are built on the tcltk package. Uses could include changing a parameter on a graph by animating it with a slider or a "doublebutton", up to more sophisticated control panels. Some functions for specific graphical tasks, referred to as cartoons', are provided.

Allows to limit the rate at which one or more functions can be called.

We provide a number of algorithms to estimate fundamental statistics including Fréchet mean and geometric median for manifold-valued data. Also, C++ header files are contained that implement elementary operations on manifolds such as Sphere, Grassmann, and others. See Bhattacharya and Bhattacharya (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139094764> if you are interested in statistics on manifolds, and Absil et al (2007, ISBN:9780691132983) on computational aspects of optimization on matrix manifolds.
