The Tanaka method enhances the representation of topography on a map using shaded contour lines. In this simplified implementation of the method, north-west white contours represent illuminated topography and south-east black contours represent shaded topography.

The Shaman package implements functions for resampling Hi-C matrices in order to generate expected contact distributions given constraints on marginal coverage and contact-distance probability distributions. The package also provides support for visualizing normalized matrices and statistical analysis of contact distributions around selected landmarks.
This package provides an implementation of both the exact and approximation methods for computing the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the Poisson binomial distribution. It also provides the probability mass function (PMF), quantile function, and random number generation for the Poisson binomial distribution.
The httpuv package provides low-level socket and protocol support for handling HTTP and WebSocket requests directly from within R. It is primarily intended as a building block for other packages, rather than making it particularly easy to create complete web applications using httpuv alone.
This package provides tools for the analysis of high-dimensional data developed/implemented at the group "Statistical Complexity Reduction In Molecular Epidemiology" (SCRIME). The main focus is on SNP data, but most of the functions can also be applied to other types of categorical data.
The glmnet package provides efficient procedures for fitting the entire lasso or elastic-net regularization path for linear and Poisson regression, as well as logistic, multinomial, Cox, multiple-response Gaussian and grouped multinomial models. The algorithm uses cyclical coordinate descent in a path-wise fashion.
This package provides tools for implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows with Large Language Models (LLM). Includes functions for document processing, text chunking, embedding generation, storage management, and content retrieval. Supports various document types and embedding providers ('Ollama', OpenAI
'), with DuckDB
as the default storage backend. Integrates with the ellmer package to equip chat objects with retrieval capabilities. Designed to offer both sensible defaults and customization options with transparent access to intermediate outputs. For a review of retrieval-augmented generation methods, see Gao et al. (2023) "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Large Language Models: A Survey" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.10997>

This package provides tools working with data from ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Event Data). Functions include simplified access to ACLED's API (<https://apidocs.acleddata.com/>), methods for keeping local versions of ACLED data up-to-date, and functions for common ACLED data transformations.
Provides: (1) Tools to infer dominance hierarchies based on calculating Elo scores, but with custom functions to improve estimates in animals with relatively stable dominance ranks. (2) Tools to plot the shape of the dominance hierarchy and estimate the uncertainty of a given data set.
Downloads the Representative Market Rate Exchange (RMRE) from the <www.datos.gov.co> source. Allows setting the data series in time frequencies, splitting the time series through start and end functions, transforming the data set in log returns or levels, and making a Dynamic graph.
This package implements the DAAREM method for accelerating the convergence of slow, monotone sequences from smooth, fixed-point iterations such as the EM algorithm. For further details about the DAAREM method, see Henderson, N.C. and Varadhan, R. (2019) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2019.1594835>.
Computes various effect sizes of the difference, their variance, and confidence interval. This package treats Cohen's d, Hedges d, biased/unbiased c (an effect size between a mean and a constant) and e (an effect size between means without assuming the variance equality).
This package provides tools for automatic model selection and diagnostics for Climate and Environmental data. In particular the envcpt()
function does automatic model selection between a variety of trend, changepoint and autocorrelation models. The envcpt()
function should be your first port of call.
Estimates item and person parameters for the Continuous Response Model (CRM; Samejima, 1973, <doi:10.1007/BF02291114>), computes item fit residual statistics, draws empirical 3D item category response curves, draws theoretical 3D item category response curves, and generates data under the CRM for simulation studies.
Streamlines the training, evaluation, and comparison of multiple machine learning models with minimal code by providing comprehensive data preprocessing and support for a wide range of algorithms with hyperparameter tuning. It offers performance metrics and visualization tools to facilitate efficient and effective machine learning workflows.
The gap encodes the distance between clusters and improves interpretation of cluster heatmaps. The gaps can be of the same distance based on a height threshold to cut the dendrogram. Another option is to vary the size of gaps based on the distance between clusters.
This package provides a function that generates a customized correlation matrix based on limit values and proportions for intervals composed by its limits. It can also generate random matrices with low, medium, and high correlations, in which low, medium, and high thresholds are user-defined.
