This package lets you generate random colors, possibly with a given hue or a given luminosity.

This package provides a fast C++ implementation to generate contour lines (isolines) and contour polygons (isobands) from regularly spaced grids containing elevation data.

Enables mapping of country level and gridded user datasets.

This package provides basic I/O tools for streaming and data parsing.

Create, read and write GEXF (Graph Exchange XML Format) graph files (used in Gephi and others). It allows the user to easily build/read graph files including attributes, GEXF visual attributes (such as color, size, and position), network dynamics (for both edges and nodes) and edge weighting. Users can build/handle graphs element-by-element or massively through data-frames, visualize the graph on a web browser through gexf-js (a JavaScript library) and interact with the igraph package.

This package provides very fast read and write access to images stored in the NIfTI-1 and ANALYZE-7.5 formats, with seamless synchronisation between compiled C and interpreted R code. It also provides a C/C++ API that can be used by other packages.

The CommonMark specification defines a rationalized version of markdown syntax. This package uses the cmark reference implementation for converting markdown text into various formats including HTML, LaTeX and groff man. In addition, it exposes the markdown parse tree in XML format. The latest version of this package also adds support for Github extensions including tables, autolinks and strikethrough text.

Format dates and times flexibly and to whichever locales make sense. This package parses dates, times, and date-times in various formats (including string-based ISO 8601 constructions). The formatting syntax gives the user many options for formatting the date and time output in a precise manner. Time zones in the input can be expressed in multiple ways and there are many options for formatting time zones in the output as well. Several of the provided helper functions allow for automatic generation of locale-aware formatting patterns based on date/time skeleton formats and standardized date/time formats with varying specificity.

This package provides a set of handy functions. It includes a versatile one line progress bar, one line function timer with detailed output, time delay function, text histogram, object preview, CRAN package search, simpler package installer, Linux command install check, a flexible Mode function, top function, simulation of correlated data, and more.

Colored terminal output on terminals that support ANSI color and highlight codes. It also works in Emacs ESS. ANSI color support is automatically detected. Colors and highlighting can be combined and nested. New styles can also be created easily. This package was inspired by the "chalk" JavaScript project.

This package provides functions that solve initial value problems of a system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODE), of partial differential equations (PDE), of differential algebraic equations (DAE), and of delay differential equations. The functions provide an interface to the FORTRAN functions lsoda, lsodar, lsode, lsodes of the ODEPACK collection, to the FORTRAN functions dvode and daspk and a C-implementation of solvers of the Runge-Kutta family with fixed or variable time steps. The package contains routines designed for solving ODEs resulting from 1-D, 2-D and 3-D partial differential equations that have been converted to ODEs by numerical differencing.

This package provides a derivative-free optimization by quadratic approximation based on an interface to Fortran implementations by M. J. D. Powell.

This package provides a set of functions for sparse matrix algebra. Differences with other sparse matrix packages are:

1. it only supports (essentially) one sparse matrix format;

2. it is based on transparent and simple structure(s);

3. it is tailored for MCMC calculations within G(M)RF;

4. and it is fast and scalable (with the extension package spam64).

Radix trees, or tries, are key-value data structures optimized for efficient lookups, similar in purpose to hash tables. This package provides an implementation of radix trees for use in R programming and in developing packages with Rcpp.

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 lets you fit a Gaussian process model to data. Gaussian processes are commonly used in computer experiments to fit an interpolating model. The model is stored as an R6 object and can be easily updated with new data. There are options to run in parallel, and Rcpp has been used to speed up calculations. For more info about Gaussian process software, see Erickson et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2017.10.002>.

This package provides tools to query the U.S. National Library of Medicine's Clinical Trials database. Functions are provided for a variety of techniques for searching the data using range queries, categorical filtering, and by searching for full-text keywords. Minimal graphical tools are also provided for interactively exploring the constructed data.

This package implements faster versions of base R functions (e.g. mean, standard deviation, covariance, weighted mean), mostly written in C++, along with miscellaneous functions for various purposes (e.g. create the histogram with fitted probability density function or probability mass function curve, create the body mass index groups, assess the linearity assumption in logistic regression).

This package embeds the SQLite database engine in R and provides an interface compliant with the DBI package. The source for the SQLite engine is included.

Some R functions, such as optim(), require a function of its gradient passed as separate arguments. When these are expensive to calculate it may be much faster to calculate the function (fn) and gradient (gr) together since they often share many calculations (chain rule). This package allows the user to pass in a single function that returns both the function and gradient, then splits (hence splitfngr) them so the results can be accessed separately. The functions provided allow this to be done with any number of functions/values, not just for functions and gradients.

This package supports twin models that are able to estimate the dynamic behaviour of the variance components in the classical twin models with respect to age using B-splines and P-splines.

int64 values can be created and accessed via the bit64 package and its integer64 class which package the int64 representation cleverly into a double. The nanotime package builds on this to support nanosecond-resolution timestamps. This package helps conversions between R and C++ via several helper functions provided via a single header file. A complete example client package is included as an illustration.

This package provides fundamental physical constants (quantity, value, uncertainty, unit) for SI and non-SI units, plus unit conversions based on the data from NIST, USA.

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.
