Representation-dependent gene-level operations for genetic and evolutionary algorithms with real-coded genes are collected in this package. The common feature of the gene operations is that all of them are useful for derivation-free optimization algorithms. At the moment the package implements initialization, mutation, crossover, and replication operations for differential evolution as described in Price, Kenneth V., Storn, Rainer M. and Lampinen, Jouni A. (2005) <doi:10.1007/3-540-31306-0>. In addition, several (more recent) methods for determining the scale factor are provided.

Converts an XLSForm (survey in Excel') into a well-structured Word document, including sections, skip logic, options, and question labels. Designed to support survey documentation, training materials, and data collection workflows. The package was developed based on field experience with XLSForm and humanitarian operations, aiming to streamline documentation and enhance training efficiency.

There are two new network metrics, RWC (random walk centrality) and CBET (counting betweenness). Also available are the normalized versions of those metrics. These measures of centrality and betweenness are particularly useful for the analysis of very dense weighted networks which include loops. Traditional measures do not work as well for those network characteristics. The main reference is DePaolis at al (2022) <doi:10.1007/s41109-022-00519-2>.

Supports a structured approach for exploring PKPD data <https://opensource.nibr.com/xgx/>. It also contains helper functions for enabling the modeler to follow best R practices (by appending the program name, figure name location, and draft status to each plot). In addition, it enables the modeler to follow best graphical practices (by providing a theme that reduces chart ink, and by providing time-scale, log-scale, and reverse-log-transform-scale functions for more readable axes). Finally, it provides some data checking and summarizing functions for rapidly exploring pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) datasets.

Classical methods such as correspondence analysis and agglomerative hierarchical clustering are available. Chronologically constrained agglomerative hierarchical clustering enriched with labelled-by-words trees is offered. Given a division of the corpus into parts, their characteristic words and documents are identified. Further, accessing to FactoMineR functions is very easy. Two of them are relevant in textual domain. MFA() addresses multiple lexical table allowing applications such as dealing with multilingual corpora as well as simultaneously analyzing both open-ended and closed questions in surveys. See <http://xplortext.unileon.es> for examples.

This collection of gene representation-independent mechanisms for evolutionary and genetic algorithms contains four groups of functions: First, functions for selecting a gene in a population of genes according to its fitness value and for adaptive scaling of the fitness values as well as for performance optimization and measurement offer several variants for implementing the survival of the fittest. Second, evaluation functions for deterministic functions avoid recomputation. Evaluation of stochastic functions incrementally improve the estimation of the mean and variance of fitness values at almost no additional cost. Evaluation functions for gene repair handle error-correcting decoders. Third, timing and counting functions for profiling the algorithm pipeline are provided to assess bottlenecks in the algorithms. Fourth, a small collection of problem environments for function optimization, combinatorial optimization, and grammar-based genetic programming and grammatical evolution is provided for tutorial examples.
