The XML-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol based on XML'. The xmlrpc2 package is inspired by the XMLRPC package but uses the curl and xml2 packages instead RCurl and XML'.

An extension for the xml2 package to transform XML documents by applying an xslt style-sheet.

The XKCD color survey asked participants to name colours. Randall Munroe published the top thousand(roughly) names and their sRGB hex values. This package lets you use them.

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.

Converts XML documents to R dataframes and dataframes to XML documents. A wide variety of options allows for different XML formats and flexible control of the conversion process. Results can be exported to CSV and Excel, if desired. Also converts XML data to R lists.

This package provides a fast and elegant interface for generating XML fragments and documents. It can be used in companion with R packages XML or xml2 to generate XML documents. The fast XML generation is implemented using the Rcpp package.

Reading and writing sheets of a single Excel file into and from a list of data frames. Eases I/O of tabular data in bioinformatics while keeping them in a human readable format.

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.

This package provides a suite of psychometric analysis tools for research and operation, including: (1) computation of probability, information, and likelihood for the 3PL, GPCM, and GRM; (2) parameter estimation using joint or marginal likelihood estimation method; (3) simulation of computerized adaptive testing using built-in or customized algorithms; (4) assembly and simulation of multistage testing.

Representation-dependent gene-level operations for genetic and evolutionary algorithms with real-coded genes used in the R-package xega <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xega> 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. For xega''s architecture, see Geyer-Schulz, A. (2025) <doi:10.5445/IR/1000187255>.

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for both continuous and discontinuous posterior distributions with a customizable trajectory length termination criterion. See Nishimura et al. (2020) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asz083> for the original Discontinuous Hamiltonian Monte Carlo; Hoffman et al. (2014) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1111.4246> and Betancourt (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1601.00225> for the definition of possible Hamiltonian Monte Carlo termination criteria.

The xtdml package implements partially linear panel regression (PLPR) models with high-dimensional confounding variables and an exogenous treatment variable within the double machine learning framework. The package is used to estimate the structural parameter (treatment effect) in static panel data models with fixed effects using the approaches established in Clarke and Polselli (2025) <doi:10.1093/ectj/utaf011>. xtdml is built on the object-oriented package DoubleML (Bach et al., 2024) <doi:10.18637/jss.v108.i03> using the mlr3 ecosystem.

This package provides comprehensive functionality to read, write and format Excel data.

This collection of gene representation-independent functions implements the population layer of extended evolutionary and genetic algorithms and its support for the R-package xega <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xega>. The population layer consists of functions for initializing, logging, observing, evaluating a population of genes, as well as of computing the next population. For parallel evaluation of a population of genes 4 execution models - named Sequential, MultiCore, FutureApply, and Cluster - are provided. They are implemented by configuring the lapply() function. The execution model FutureApply can be externally configured as recommended by Bengtsson (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-048>. Configurable acceptance rules and cooling schedules (see Kirkpatrick, S., Gelatt, C. D. J, and Vecchi, M. P. (1983) <doi:10.1126/science.220.4598.671>, and Aarts, E., and Korst, J. (1989, ISBN:0-471-92146-7) offer simulated annealing or greedy randomized approximate search procedure elements. Adaptive crossover and mutation rates depending on population statistics generalize the approach of Stanhope, S. A. and Daida, J. M. (1996, ISBN:0-18-201-031-7). For xega''s architecture, see Geyer-Schulz, A. (2025) <doi:10.5445/IR/1000187255>.

This package provides a set of functions devoted to multivariate exploratory statistics on textual data. 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.

Support for interfaces from R to other languages, built around a class for evaluators and a combination of functions, classes and methods for communication. Will be used through a specific language interface package. Described in the book "Extending R".

High-level functions to render LaTeX fragments in plots, including as labels and data symbols in ggplot2 plots, plus low-level functions to author LaTeX fragments (to produce LaTeX documents), typeset LaTeX documents (to produce DVI files), read DVI files (to produce "DVI" objects), and render "DVI" objects.

We consider the problem where we observe k vectors (possibly of different lengths), each representing an independent multinomial random vector. For a given function that takes in the concatenated vector of multinomial probabilities and outputs a real number, this is a Monte Carlo estimation procedure of an exact p-value and confidence interval. The resulting inference is valid even in small samples, when the parameter is on the boundary, and when the function is not differentiable at the parameter value, all situations where asymptotic methods and the bootstrap would fail. For more details see Sachs, Fay, and Gabriel (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.19141>.
