This package provides functions to compare a model object to a comparison object. If the objects are not identical, the functions can be instructed to explore various modifications of the objects (e.g., sorting rows, dropping names) to see if the modified versions are identical.

This package contains a number of comparative "phylogenetic" methods, mostly focusing on analysing diversification and character evolution. Contains implementations of "BiSSE" (Binary State Speciation and Extinction) and its unresolved tree extensions, "MuSSE" (Multiple State Speciation and Extinction), "QuaSSE", "GeoSSE", and "BiSSE-ness" Other included methods include Markov models of discrete and continuous trait evolution and constant rate speciation and extinction.

This package converts between R and Simple Feature sf objects, without depending on the Simple Feature library. Conversion functions are available at both the R level, and through Rcpp.

This package provides functions for importing and handling text files and formatted text files with additional meta-data, such including .csv, .tab, .json, .xml, .html, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .rtf, .xls, .xlsx, and others.

This package enables you to define a command-line interface by just giving it a description in the specific format.

This package provides access to the text shaping functionality in the HarfBuzz library and the bidirectional algorithm in the Fribidi library. This is a low-level utility package mainly for graphic devices that expands upon the font tool-set provided by the systemfonts package.

In S3 generics, it's useful to take ... so that methods can have additional arguments. But this flexibility comes at a cost: misspelled arguments will be silently ignored. The ellipsis package is an experiment that allows a generic to warn if any arguments passed in ... are not used.

This package provides various methods for clustering and cluster validation. For example, it provides fixed point clustering, linear regression clustering, clustering by merging Gaussian mixture components, as well as symmetric and asymmetric discriminant projections for visualisation of the separation of groupings.

This package provides a parallel backend for the %dopar% function using the parallel package.

This package provides some easy-to-use functions to extract and visualize the output of multivariate data analyses, including PCA (Principal Component Analysis), CA (Correspondence Analysis), MCA (Multiple Correspondence Analysis), FAMD (Factor Analysis of Mixed Data), MFA (Multiple Factor Analysis) and HMFA (Hierarchical Multiple Factor Analysis) functions from different R packages. It contains also functions for simplifying some clustering analysis steps and provides ggplot2-based elegant data visualization.

This package analyzes gene expression (time series) data with focus on the inference of gene networks. In particular, GeneNet implements the methods of Schaefer and Strimmer (2005a,b,c) and Opgen-Rhein and Strimmer (2006, 2007) for learning large-scale gene association networks (including assignment of putative directions).

This is a package that allows conversion to and from data in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. This allows R objects to be inserted into Javascript/ECMAScript/ActionScript code and allows R programmers to read and convert JSON content to R objects. This is an alternative to the rjson package.

This package provides the ggplot binning layer stat_summaries_hex(), which functions similar to its singular form, but allows the use of multiple statistics per bin. Those statistics can be mapped to multiple bin aesthetics.

Tree based algorithms can be improved by introducing boosting frameworks. LightGBM is one such framework, based on Ke, Guolin et al. (2017). This package offers an R interface to work with it. It is designed to be distributed and efficient with the following goals:

1. Faster training speed and higher efficiency;

2. lower memory usage;

3. better accuracy;

4. parallel learning supported; and

5. capable of handling large-scale data.

This package provides a collection of perceptually uniform color maps made by Peter Kovesi (2015) "Good Colour Maps: How to Design Them" <arXiv:1509.03700> at the Centre for Exploration Targeting (CET).

This package implements a general framework for finite mixtures of regression models using the EM algorithm. FlexMix provides the E-step and all data handling, while the M-step can be supplied by the user to easily define new models. Existing drivers implement mixtures of standard linear models, generalized linear models and model-based clustering.

This package creates square pie charts also known as waffle charts. These can be used to communicate parts of a whole for categorical quantities. To emulate the percentage view of a pie chart, a 10x10 grid should be used. In this way each square is representing 1% of the total. Waffle provides tools to create charts as well as stitch them together. Isotype pictograms can be made by using glyphs.

This package provides a fast dimensionality reduction method scalable to large numbers of samples. Landmark Multi-Dimensional Scaling (LMDS) is an extension of classical Torgerson MDS, but rather than calculating a complete distance matrix between all pairs of samples, only the distances between a set of landmarks and the samples are calculated.

This package provides tools to safely and efficiently organize and execute Monte Carlo simulation experiments in R. The package controls the structure and back-end of Monte Carlo simulation experiments by utilizing a generate-analyse-summarise workflow. The workflow safeguards against common simulation coding issues, such as automatically re-simulating non-convergent results, prevents inadvertently overwriting simulation files, catches error and warning messages during execution, implicitly supports parallel processing with high-quality random number generation, and provides tools for managing high-performance computing (HPC) array jobs submitted to schedulers such as SLURM. For a pedagogical introduction to the package see Sigal and Chalmers (2016) <doi:10.1080/10691898.2016.1246953>. For a more in-depth overview of the package and its design philosophy see Chalmers and Adkins (2020) <doi:10.20982/tqmp.16.4.p248>.

The extrafont package makes it easier to use fonts other than the basic PostScript fonts that R uses. Fonts that are imported into extrafont can be used with PDF or PostScript output files. There are two hurdles for using fonts in PDF (or Postscript) output files:

1. Making R aware of the font and the dimensions of the characters.

2. Embedding the fonts in the PDF file so that the PDF can be displayed properly on a device that doesn't have the font. This is usually needed if you want to print the PDF file or share it with others.

The extrafont package makes both of these things easier.

This package provides a set of R functions for identifying and correcting HGNC human gene symbols. In addition, you can identify MGI mouse gene symbols, which have been converted to date format by Excel, withdrawn, or aliased. It also contains functions for reversibly converting between HGNC symbols and valid R names.

iheatmapr is an R package for building complex, interactive heatmaps using modular building blocks. "Complex" heatmaps are heatmaps in which subplots along the rows or columns of the main heatmap add more information about each row or column. For example, a one column additional heatmap may indicate what group a particular row or column belongs to. Complex heatmaps may also include multiple side by side heatmaps which show different types of data for the same conditions. Interactivity can improve complex heatmaps by providing tooltips with information about each cell and enabling zooming into interesting features. iheatmapr uses the plotly library for interactivity.

Customize Bootstrap and Bootswatch themes, like colors, fonts, grid layout, to use in Shiny applications, rmarkdown documents and flexdashboard.

This package provides model selection tools and selfStart functions to fit parametric curves in the nls, nlsList and nlme frameworks.
