One of the strengths of R is its vast package ecosystem. Indeed, R packages extend from visualization to Bayesian inference and from spatial analyses to pharmacokinetics (<https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/>). There is probably not an area of quantitative research that isn't represented by at least one R package. At the time of this writing, there are more than 10,000 active CRAN packages. Because of this massive ecosystem, it is important to have tools to search and learn about packages related to your personal R needs. For this reason, we developed an RStudio addin capable of searching available CRAN packages directly within RStudio.

This package contains the Multi-Species Acute Toxicity Database (CAS & SMILES columns only) [United States (US) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Cancer Institute (NCI), "Multi-Species Acute Toxicity Database", <https://cactus.nci.nih.gov/download/acute-toxicity-db/>] combined with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory [United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), "Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory", <https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory/how-access-tsca-inventory

Computes solutions for linear and logistic regression models with potentially high-dimensional categorical predictors. This is done by applying a nonconvex penalty (SCOPE) and computing solutions in an efficient path-wise fashion. The scaling of the solution paths is selected automatically. Includes functionality for selecting tuning parameter lambda by k-fold cross-validation and early termination based on information criteria. Solutions are computed by cyclical block-coordinate descent, iterating an innovative dynamic programming algorithm to compute exact solutions for each block.

Utility functions that help with common base-R problems relating to lists. Lists in base-R are very flexible. This package provides functions to quickly and easily characterize types of lists. That is, to identify if all elements in a list are null, data.frames, lists, or fully named lists. Other functionality is provided for the handling of lists, such as the easy splitting of lists into equally sized groups, and the unnesting of data.frames within fully named lists.

Fitting of copula models with potentially partly fixed parameters, including standard errors. Serial independence tests, copula specification tests (independence, exchangeability, radial symmetry, extreme-value dependence, goodness-of-fit) and model selection based on cross-validation. Empirical copula, smoothed versions, and non-parametric estimators of the Pickands dependence function.

An implementation of the probability mass function, cumulative density function, quantile function, random number generator, maximum likelihood estimator, and p-value generator from a conditional hypergeometric distribution: the distribution of how many items are in the overlap of all samples when samples of arbitrary size are each taken without replacement from populations of arbitrary size.

This package implements the Centroid Decision Forest (CDF) as a single user-facing function CDF(). The method selects discriminative features via a multi-class class separability score (CSS), splits by nearest class centroid, and aggregates tree votes to produce predictions and class probabilities. Returns CSS-based feature importance as well. Amjad Ali, Saeed Aldahmani, Zardad Khan (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.19306>.

Cluster analysis of a set of variables. Variables can be quantitative, qualitative or a mixture of both.

Automated and robust framework for analyzing R-R interval (RRi) signals using advanced nonlinear modeling and preprocessing techniques. The package implements a dual-logistic model to capture the rapid drop and subsequent recovery of RRi during exercise, as described by Castillo-Aguilar et al. (2025) <doi:10.1038/s41598-025-93654-6>. In addition, CardioCurveR includes tools for filtering RRi signals using zero-phase Butterworth low-pass filtering and for cleaning ectopic beats via adaptive outlier replacement using local regression and robust statistics. These integrated methods preserve the dynamic features of RRi signals and facilitate accurate cardiovascular monitoring and clinical research.

This package provides a flexible and robust joint test of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) main effect and genotype-by-treatment interaction effect for continuous and binary endpoints. Two analytic procedures, Cauchy weighted joint test (CWOT) and adaptively weighted joint test (AWOT), are proposed to accurately calculate the joint test p-value. The proposed methods are evaluated through extensive simulations under various scenarios. The results show that the proposed AWOT and CWOT control type I error well and outperform existing methods in detecting the most interesting signal patterns in pharmacogenetics (PGx) association studies.
