This package provides a unified interface for simplifying cloud storage interactions, including uploading, downloading, reading, and writing files, with functions for both Google Drive (<https://www.google.com/drive/>) and Amazon S3 (<https://aws.amazon.com/s3/>).

This package performs copy number variants association analysis with Lasso and Weighted Fusion penalized regression. Creates a "CNV profile curve" to represent an individualâ s CNV events across a genomic region so to capture variations in CNV length and dosage. When evaluating association, the CNV profile curve is directly used as a predictor in the regression model, avoiding the need to predefine CNV loci. CNV profile regression estimates CNV effects at each genome position, making the results comparable across different studies. The penalization encourages sparsity in variable selection with a Lasso penalty and encourages effect smoothness between consecutive CNV events with a weighted fusion penalty, where the weight controls the level of smoothing between adjacent CNVs. For more details, see Si (2024) <doi:10.1101/2024.11.23.624994>.

Load and analyze updated time series worldwide data of reported cases for the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) from different sources, including the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE) data repository <https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19>, "Our World in Data" <https://github.com/owid/> among several others. The datasets reporting the COVID-19 cases are available in two main modalities, as a time series sequences and aggregated data for the last day with greater spatial resolution. Several analysis, visualization and modelling functions are available in the package that will allow the user to compute and visualize total number of cases, total number of changes and growth rate globally or for an specific geographical location, while at the same time generating models using these trends; generate interactive visualizations and generate Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model for the disease spread.

Quick and easy access to datasets that let you replicate the empirical examples in Cameron and Trivedi (2005) "Microeconometrics: Methods and Applications" (ISBN: 9780521848053).The data are available as soon as you install and load the package (lazy-loading) as data frames. The documentation includes reference to chapter sections and page numbers where the datasets are used.

Column Text Format (CTF) is a new tabular data format designed for simplicity and performance. CTF is the simplest column store you can imagine: plain text files for each column in a table, and a metadata file. The underlying plain text means the data is human readable and familiar to programmers, unlike specialized binary formats. CTF is faster than row oriented formats like CSV when loading a subset of the columns in a table. This package provides functions to read and write CTF data from R.

Enumerate orientation-consistent directed networks from an undirected or partially directed skeleton, detect feedback loops, summarize topology, and simulate node dynamics via stochastic differential equations.

Climate stability measures are not formalized in the literature and tools for generating stability metrics from existing data are nascent. This package provides tools for calculating climate stability from raster data encapsulating climate change as a series of time slices. The methods follow Owens and Guralnick <doi:10.17161/bi.v14i0.9786> Biodiversity Informatics.

Enable the use of Shepherd.js to create tours in Shiny applications.

This package performs multiple comparison procedures on curve observations among different treatment groups. The methods are applicable in a variety of situations (such as independent groups with equal or unequal sample sizes, or repeated measures) by using parametric bootstrap. References to these procedures can be found at Konietschke, Gel, and Brunner (2014) <doi:10.1090/conm/622/12431> and Westfall (2011) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2011.607751>.

Calculates metrics of proportionality using the logit-normal multinomial model. It can also provide empirical and plugin estimates of these metrics.

The implemented functions allow the query, download, and import of remotely-stored and version-controlled data items. The inherent meta-database maps data files and import code to programming classes and allows access to these items via files deposited in public repositories. The purpose of the project is to increase reproducibility and establish version tracking of results from (paleo)environmental/ecological research.

Images are cropped to a circle with a transparent background. The function takes a vector of images, either local or from a link, and circle crops the image. Paths to the cropped image are returned for plotting with ggplot2'. Also includes cropping to a hexagon, heart, parallelogram, and square.

This package provides a modified boxplot with a new fence coefficient determined by Lin et al. (2025). The traditional fence coefficient k=1.5 in Tukey's boxplot is replaced by a coefficient based on Chauvenet's criterion, as described in their formula (9). The new boxplot can be implemented in base R with function chau_boxplot(), and in ggplot2 with function geom_chau_boxplot().

As different antipsychotic medications have different potencies, the doses of different medications cannot be directly compared. Various strategies are used to convert doses into a common reference so that comparison is meaningful. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) has historically been used as a reference medication into which other antipsychotic doses can be converted, as "chlorpromazine-equivalent doses". Using conversion keys generated from widely-cited scientific papers, e.g. Gardner et. al 2010 <doi:10.1176/appi.ajp.2009.09060802> and Leucht et al. 2016 <doi:10.1093/schbul/sbv167>, antipsychotic doses are converted to CPZ (or any specified antipsychotic) equivalents. The use of the package is described in the included vignette. Not for clinical use.

This package provides a daily summary of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Italy by country, region and province level. Data source: Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri - Dipartimento della Protezione Civile <https://www.protezionecivile.it/>.

Supports analysis of trends in climate change, ecological and crop modelling.

Clustering, or cluster analysis, is a widely used technique in bioinformatics to identify groups of similar biological data points. Consensus clustering is an extension to clustering algorithms that aims to construct a robust result from those clustering features that are invariant under different sources of variation. For the reference, please cite the following paper: Yousefi, Melograna, et. al., (2023) <doi:10.3389/fmicb.2023.1170391>.

Calculates equitable overload compensation for college instructors based on institutional policies, enrollment thresholds, and regular teaching load limits. Compensation is awarded only for credit hours that exceed the regular load and meet minimum enrollment criteria. When enrollment is below a specified threshold, pay is prorated accordingly. The package prioritizes compensation from high-enrollment courses, or optionally from low-enrollment courses for fairness, depending on user-defined strategy. Includes tools for flexible policy settings, instructor filtering, and produces clean, audit-ready summary tables suitable for payroll and administrative reporting.

Many modern C/C++ development tools in the clang toolchain, such as clang-tidy or clangd', rely on the presence of a compilation database in JSON format <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html>. This package temporarily injects additional build flags into the R build process to generate such a compilation database.

CGAL is a C++ library that aims to provide easy access to efficient and reliable algorithms in computational geometry. Since its version 4, CGAL can be used as standalone header-only library and is available under a double GPL-3|LGPL license. <https://www.cgal.org/>.

Helps automate Quarto website creation for small academic groups. Builds a database-like structure of people, projects and publications, linking them together with a string-based ID system. Then, provides functions to automate production of clean markdown for these structures, and in-built CSS formatting using CSS flexbox.

This package implements several string comparison algorithms, including calACS (count all common subsequences), lenACS (calculate the lengths of all common subsequences), and lenLCS (calculate the length of the longest common subsequence). Some algorithms differentiate between the more strict definition of subsequence, where a common subsequence cannot be separated by any other items, from its looser counterpart, where a common subsequence can be interrupted by other items. This difference is shown in the suffix of the algorithm (-Strict vs -Loose). For example, q-w is a common subsequence of q-w-e-r and q-e-w-r on the looser definition, but not on the more strict definition. calACSLoose Algorithm from Wang, H. All common subsequences (2007) IJCAI International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, pp. 635-640.

In searching for research articles, we often want to obtain lists of references from across studies, and also obtain lists of articles that cite a particular study. In systematic reviews, this supplementary search technique is known as citation chasing': forward citation chasing looks for all records citing one or more articles of known relevance; backward citation chasing looks for all records referenced in one or more articles. Traditionally, this process would be done manually, and the resulting records would need to be checked one-by-one against included studies in a review to identify potentially relevant records that should be included in a review. This package contains functions to automate this process by making use of the Lens.org API. An input article list can be used to return a list of all referenced records, and/or all citing records in the Lens.org database (consisting of PubMed, PubMed Central, CrossRef, Microsoft Academic Graph and CORE; <https://www.lens.org>).

Ceteris Paribus Profiles (What-If Plots) are designed to present model responses around selected points in a feature space. For example around a single prediction for an interesting observation. Plots are designed to work in a model-agnostic fashion, they are working for any predictive Machine Learning model and allow for model comparisons. Ceteris Paribus Plots supplement the Break Down Plots from breakDown package.
