Content-preserving transformations transformations of PDF files such as split, combine, and compress. This package interfaces directly to the qpdf C++ API and does not require any command line utilities. Note that qpdf does not read actual content from PDF files: to extract text and data you need the pdftools package.

This package is for genomic regions processing using command line tools such as BEDTools, BEDOPS and Tabix. These tools offer scalable and efficient utilities to perform genome arithmetic e.g indexing, formatting and merging. The bedr package's API enhances access to these tools as well as offers additional utilities for genomic regions processing.

Robust Clustering of Time Series (RCTS) has the functionality to cluster time series using both the classical and the robust interactive fixed effects framework. The classical framework is developed in Ando & Bai (2017) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1195743>. The implementation within this package excludes the SCAD-penalty on the estimations of beta. This robust framework is developed in Boudt & Heyndels (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.ecosta.2022.01.002> and is made robust against different kinds of outliers. The algorithm iteratively updates beta (the coefficients of the observable variables), group membership, and the latent factors (which can be common and/or group-specific) along with their loadings. The number of groups and factors can be estimated if they are unknown.

This package provides a set of tools to streamline data analysis. Learning both R and introductory statistics at the same time can be challenging, and so we created rigr to facilitate common data analysis tasks and enable learners to focus on statistical concepts. We provide easy-to-use interfaces for descriptive statistics, one- and two-sample inference, and regression analyses. rigr output includes key information while omitting unnecessary details that can be confusing to beginners. Heteroscedasticity-robust ("sandwich") standard errors are returned by default, and multiple partial F-tests and tests for contrasts are easy to specify. A single regression function can fit both linear and generalized linear models, allowing students to more easily make connections between different classes of models.

This package provides a comprehensive pipeline for analyzing and interactively visualizing genomic profiles generated through commercial or custom aCGH arrays. As inputs, rCGH supports Agilent dual-color Feature Extraction files (.txt), from 44 to 400K, Affymetrix SNP6.0 and cytoScanHD probeset.txt, cychp.txt, and cnchp.txt files exported from ChAS or Affymetrix Power Tools. rCGH also supports custom arrays, provided data complies with the expected format. This package takes over all the steps required for individual genomic profiles analysis, from reading files to profiles segmentation and gene annotations. This package also provides several visualization functions (static or interactive) which facilitate individual profiles interpretation. Input files can be in compressed format, e.g. .bz2 or .gz.

Low-rank matrix decompositions are fundamental tools and widely used for data analysis, dimension reduction, and data compression. Classically, highly accurate deterministic matrix algorithms are used for this task. However, the emergence of large-scale data has severely challenged our computational ability to analyze big data. The concept of randomness has been demonstrated as an effective strategy to quickly produce approximate answers to familiar problems such as the singular value decomposition (SVD). This package provides several randomized matrix algorithms such as the randomized singular value decomposition (rsvd), randomized principal component analysis (rpca), randomized robust principal component analysis (rrpca), randomized interpolative decomposition (rid), and the randomized CUR decomposition (rcur). In addition several plot functions are provided.

This package provides a collection of functions related to density estimation by using Chen's (2000) idea. Mean Squared Errors (MSE) are calculated for estimated curves.

The half-weight index gregariousness (HWIG) is an association index used in social network analyses. It extends the half-weight association index (HWI), correcting for level of gregariousness in individuals. It is calculated using group by individual data according to methods described in Godde et al. (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.anbehav.2012.12.010>.
