Data frame, tibble, or tbl objects are converted to data package objects using specific metadata labels (name, version, title, homepage, description). A data package object ('dpkg') can be written to disk as a parquet file or released to a GitHub repository. Data package objects can be read into R from online repositories and downloaded files are cached locally across R sessions.

This package provides tools for exploring the topography of 3d triangle meshes. The functions were developed with dental surfaces in mind, but could be applied to any triangle mesh of class mesh3d'. More specifically, doolkit allows to isolate the border of a mesh, or a subpart of the mesh using the polygon networks method; crop a mesh; compute basic descriptors (elevation, orientation, footprint area); compute slope, angularity and relief index (Ungar and Williamson (2000) <https://palaeo-electronica.org/2000_1/gorilla/issue1_00.htm>; Boyer (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.jhevol.2008.08.002>), inclination and occlusal relief index or gamma (Guy et al.

This package provides tools for estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of degrading systems using linear mixed-effects models and creating a health index. It supports both univariate and multivariate degradation signals. For multivariate inputs, the signals are merged into a univariate health index prior to modeling. Linear and exponential degradation trajectories are supported (the latter using a log transformation). Remaining Useful Life (RUL) distributions are estimated using Bayesian updating for new units, enabling on-site predictive maintenance. Based on the methodology of Liu and Huang (2016) <doi:10.1109/TASE.2014.2349733>.

Simple Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and (Multiple) Correspondence Analysis (CA) based on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). This package provides S4 classes and methods to compute, extract, summarize and visualize results of multivariate data analysis. It also includes methods for partial bootstrap validation described in Greenacre (1984, ISBN: 978-0-12-299050-2) and Lebart et al. (2006, ISBN: 978-2-10-049616-7).

Real life data is muddy, fuzzy and unpredictable. This makes data manipulations tedious and bringing the data to right shape alone is a major chunk of work. Functions in this package help us get an understanding of dataframes to dramatically reduces data coding time.

Implementation of different statistical tools for the description and analysis of gene expression data based on the concept of data depth, namely, the scale curves for visualizing the dispersion of one or various groups of samples (e.g. types of tumors), a rank test to decide whether two groups of samples come from a single distribution and two methods of supervised classification techniques, the DS and TAD methods. All these techniques are based on the Modified Band Depth, which is a recent notion of depth with a low computational cost, what renders it very appropriate for high dimensional data such as gene expression data.

This package provides database-backed spatial geometry classes and methods for working with vector spatial data in DuckDB'. The package supports loading, converting, querying, joining, and measuring spatial geometries through familiar sf'-style interfaces while keeping geometry columns lazy inside the database. It integrates with dbProject to preserve database paths, live connections, and spatial table metadata across interactive sessions. The package follows the Simple Features framework described by Pebesma (2018) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-009> and uses DuckDB's spatial extension <https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/core_extensions/spatial/overview.html>.

This package implements discrete curvature estimation for ordered planar point sequences using circumcenter geometry on consecutive triplets, exposed through compiled C plus plus (C++) code via Rcpp for speed and numerical robustness. The package is useful for objective elbow detection in multivariate workflows, especially principal component analysis (PCA), where selecting the number of retained components can be subjective. It provides a shiny interface that supports upload of raw datasets or explained-variance tables, computes Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) sampling-adequacy diagnostics, evaluates individual and cumulative variance curves, and reports curvature- based decision rules (m* and m**) with visual summaries for reproducible component-selection decisions.

Implement DiSTATIS and CovSTATIS (three-way multidimensional scaling). DiSTATIS and CovSTATIS are used to analyze multiple distance/covariance matrices collected on the same set of observations. These methods are based on Abdi, H., Williams, L.J., Valentin, D., & Bennani-Dosse, M. (2012) <doi:10.1002/wics.198>.

The goal of dndR is to provide a suite of Dungeons & Dragons related functions. This package is meant to be useful both to players and Dungeon Masters (DMs). Some functions apply to many tabletop role-playing games (e.g., dice rolling), but others are focused on Fifth Edition (a.k.a. "5e") and where possible both the 2014 and 2024 versions are supported.

This package provides a Dirichlet-based quantile bootstrap method for time series with rank-preserving reconstruction and averaged bootstrap samples. The package generates bootstrap trajectories, a mean bootstrap series, and uncertainty intervals for time series resampling.

This package provides a collection of novel tools for generating species distribution and abundance models (SDM) that are dynamic through both space and time. These highly flexible functions incorporate spatial and temporal aspects across key SDM stages; including when cleaning and filtering species occurrence data, generating pseudo-absence records, assessing and correcting sampling biases and autocorrelation, extracting explanatory variables and projecting distribution patterns. Throughout, functions utilise Google Earth Engine and Google Drive to minimise the computing power and storage demands associated with species distribution modelling at high spatio-temporal resolution.

This package provides functions to compute coefficients measuring the dependence of two or more than two variables. The functions can be deployed to gain information about functional dependencies of the variables with emphasis on monotone functions. The statistics describe how well one response variable can be approximated by a monotone function of other variables. In regression analysis the variable selection is an important issue. In this framework the functions could be useful tools in modeling the regression function. Detailed explanations on the subject can be found in papers Liebscher (2014) <doi:10.2478/demo-2014-0004>; Liebscher (2017) <doi:10.1515/demo-2017-0012>; Liebscher (2021): <https://arfjournals.com/image/catalog/Journals%20Papers/AJSS/No%202%20(2021)/4-AJSS_123-150.pdf>; Liebscher (2021): Kendall regression coefficient.

Density ratio estimation. The estimated density ratio function can be used in many applications such as anomaly detection, change-point detection, covariate shift adaptation. The implemented methods are uLSIF (Hido et al. (2011) <doi:10.1007/s10115-010-0283-2>), RuLSIF (Yamada et al. (2011) <doi:10.1162/NECO_a_00442>), and KLIEP (Sugiyama et al. (2007) <doi:10.1007/s10463-008-0197-x>).

This package provides a Scannerless GLR parser/parser generator. Note that GLR standing for "generalized LR", where L stands for "left-to-right" and R stands for "rightmost (derivation)". For more information see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLR_parser>. This parser is based on the Tomita (1987) algorithm. (Paper can be found at <https://aclanthology.org/P84-1073.pdf>). The original dparser package documentation can be found at <https://dparser.sourceforge.net/>. This allows you to add mini-languages to R (like rxode2's ODE mini-language Wang, Hallow, and James 2015 <DOI:10.1002/psp4.12052>) or to parse other languages like NONMEM to automatically translate them to R code. To use this in your code, add a LinkingTo dparser in your DESCRIPTION file and instead of using #include <dparse.h> use #include <dparser.h>. This also provides a R-based port of the make_dparser <https://dparser.sourceforge.net/d/make_dparser.cat> command called mkdparser(). Additionally you can parse an arbitrary grammar within R using the dparse() function, which works on most OSes and is mainly for grammar testing. The fastest parsing, of course, occurs at the C level, and is suggested.

Discrete splines are a class of univariate piecewise polynomial functions which are analogous to splines, but whose smoothness is defined via divided differences rather than derivatives. Tools for efficient computations relating to discrete splines are provided here. These tools include discrete differentiation and integration, various matrix computations with discrete derivative or discrete spline bases matrices, and interpolation within discrete spline spaces. These techniques are described in Tibshirani (2020) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2003.03886>.

Allows for the presence of mechanisms related to selection bias (Bareinboim and Tian, 2015) <doi:10.1609/aaai.v29i1.9679>, transportability (Bareinboim and Pearl, 2014) <http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r443.pdf>, missing data (Mohan, Pearl, and Tian, 2013) <http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/stat_ser/r410.pdf>) and arbitrary combinations of these. Also supports identification in the presence of context-specific independence (CSI) relations through labeled directed acyclic graphs (LDAG). For details on CSIs see (Corander et al., 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.apal.2019.04.004>.

Implementation of the double/debiased machine learning framework of Chernozhukov et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/ectj.12097> for partially linear regression models, partially linear instrumental variable regression models, interactive regression models and interactive instrumental variable regression models. DoubleML allows estimation of the nuisance parts in these models by machine learning methods and computation of the Neyman orthogonal score functions. DoubleML is built on top of mlr3 and the mlr3 ecosystem. The object-oriented implementation of DoubleML based on the R6 package is very flexible.
