This is a collection of some useful functions when dealing with text data. Currently it only contains a very efficient function of decoding HTML entities in character vectors by Rcpp routine.

Translates a BNF (Backus-Naur Form) specification of a context-free language into an R grammar object which consists of the start symbol, the symbol table, the production table, and a short production table. The short production table is non-recursive. The grammar object contains the file name from which it was generated (without a path). In addition, it provides functions to determine the type of a symbol (isTerminal() and isNonterminal()) and functions to access the production table (rules() and derives()). For the BNF specification, see Backus, John et al. (1962) "Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language ALGOL 60". (ALGOL60 standards page <http://www.algol60.org/2standards.htm>, html-edition <https://www.masswerk.at/algol60/report.htm>) A preprocessor for macros which expand to standard BNF is included. The grammar compiler is an extension of the APL2 implementation in Geyer-Schulz, Andreas (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X).

This package provides a Python interface structured according to the general form described in package XR and in the book "Extending R".

Implementation of Bayesian models for estimating object lengths and morphological relationships between object lengths using photographic data collected from drones. The Bayesian model is described in "Bayesian approach for predicting photogrammetric uncertainty in morphometric measurements derived from drones" (Bierlich et al., 2021, <doi:10.3354/meps13814>).

The x3p file format is specified in ISO standard 5436:2000 to describe 3d surface measurements. x3ptools allows reading, writing and basic modifications to the 3D surface measurements.

An implementation of representation-dependent gene level operations for genetic algorithms with genes representing permutations: Initialization of genes, mutation, and crossover. The crossover operation provided is position-based crossover (Syswerda, G., Chap. 21 in Davis, L. (1991, ISBN:0-442-00173-8). For mutation, several variants are included: Order-based mutation (Syswerda, G., Chap. 21 in Davis, L. (1991, ISBN:0-442-00173-8), randomized Lin-Kernighan heuristics (Croes, G. A. (1958) <doi:10.1287/opre.6.6.791> and Lin, S. and Kernighan. B. W. (1973) <doi:10.1287/opre.21.2.498>), and randomized greedy operators. A random mix operator for mutation selects a mutation variant randomly.

Extrema-weighted feature extraction for varying length functional data. Functional data analysis method that performs dimensionality reduction based on predefined features and allows for quantile weighting. Method implemented as presented in van den Boom et al. (2018) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bty120>.

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>.

Derivation tree operations are needed for implementing grammar-based genetic programming and grammatical evolution: Generating a random derivation trees of a context-free grammar of bounded depth, decoding a derivation tree, choosing a random node in a derivation tree, extracting a tree whose root is a specified node, and inserting a subtree into a derivation tree at a specified node. These operations are necessary for the initialization and for decoders of a random population of programs, as well as for implementing crossover and mutation operators. Depth-bounds are guaranteed by switching to a grammar without recursive production rules. For executing the examples, the package BNF is needed. The basic tree operations for generating, extracting, and inserting derivation trees as well as the conditions for guaranteeing complete derivation trees have been presented in Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X). The use of random integer vectors for the generation of derivation trees has been introduced in Ryan, C., Collins, J. J., and O'Neill, M. (1998) <doi:10.1007/BFb0055930> for grammatical evolution.

The xlsxjars package collects all the external jars required for the xlxs package. This release corresponds to POI 3.13.

Parse entire folders of non-rectangular xlsx files into a single rectangular and tidy data.frame based on a custom template file defining the column names of the output.

An implementation of the representation-dependent gene level operations of grammar-based genetic programming with genes which are derivation trees of a context-free grammar: Initialization of a gene with a complete random derivation tree, decoding of a derivation tree. Crossover is implemented by exchanging subtrees. Depth-bounds for the minimal and the maximal depth of the roots of the subtrees exchanged by crossover can be set. Mutation is implemented by replacing a subtree by a random subtree. The depth of the random subtree and the insertion node are configurable. For details, see Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X).

This package provides tools for interactive data exploration built using shiny'. Includes apps for descriptive statistics, visualizing probability distributions, inferential statistics, linear regression, logistic regression and RFM analysis.

Fits relative survival regression models with or without proportional excess hazards and with the additional possibility to correct for background mortality by one or more parameter(s). These models are relevant when the observed mortality in the studied group is not comparable to that of the general population or in population-based studies where the available life tables used for net survival estimation are insufficiently stratified. In the latter case, the proposed model by Touraine et al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280218823234> can be used. The user can also fit a model that relaxes the proportional expected hazards assumption considered in the Touraine et al. excess hazard model. This extension was proposed by Mba et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12874-020-01139-z> to allow non-proportional effects of the additional variable on the general population mortality. In non-population-based studies, researchers can identify non-comparability source of bias in terms of expected mortality of selected individuals. An excess hazard model correcting this selection bias is presented in Goungounga et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s12874-019-0747-3>. This class of model with a random effect at the cluster level on excess hazard is presented in Goungounga et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/bimj.202100210>.

The US Census Bureau provides a seasonal adjustment program now called X-13ARIMA-SEATS building on both earlier programs called X-11 and X-12 as well as the SEATS program by the Bank of Spain. The US Census Bureau offers both source and binary versions -- which this package integrates for use by other R packages.

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.

Given the date column as an ascending entry, future errors are included in the sum of squares of error that should be minimized based on the number of steps and weights you determine. Thus, it is prevented that the variables affect each other's coefficients unrealistically.
