Effortless multicollinearity management in data frames with both numeric and categorical variables for statistical and machine learning applications. The package simplifies multicollinearity analysis by combining four robust methods: 1) target encoding for categorical variables (Micci-Barreca, D. 2001 <doi:10.1145/507533.507538>); 2) automated feature prioritization to prevent key variable loss during filtering; 3) pairwise correlation for all variable combinations (numeric-numeric, numeric-categorical, categorical-categorical); and 4) fast computation of variance inflation factors.
Several tools for handling block-matrix diagonals and similar constructs are implemented. Block-diagonal matrices can be extracted or removed using two small functions implemented here. In addition, non-square matrices are supported. Block diagonal matrices occur when two dimensions of a data set are combined along one edge of a matrix. For example, trade-flow data in the decompr and gvc packages have each country-industry combination occur along both edges of the matrix.

Deciphering hierarchy of agents exhibiting observable dominance events is a crucial problem in several disciplines, in particular in behavioural analysis of social animals, but also in social sciences and game theory. This package implements an inference approach based on graph theory, namely to extract the optimal acyclic subset of a weighted graph of dominance; this allows for hierarchy estimation through topological sorting. The package also contains infrastructure to investigate partially defined hierarchies and hierarchy dynamics.
The S4Vectors package defines the Vector and List virtual classes and a set of generic functions that extend the semantic of ordinary vectors and lists in R. Package developers can easily implement vector-like or list-like objects as concrete subclasses of Vector or List. In addition, a few low-level concrete subclasses of general interest (e.g. DataFrame, Rle, and Hits) are implemented in the S4Vectors package itself.
repo2docker fetches a repository (from GitHub, GitLab, Zenodo, Figshare, Dataverse installations, a Git repository or a local directory) and builds a container image in which the code can be executed. The image build process is based on the configuration files found in the repository. repo2docker can be used to explore a repository locally by building and executing the constructed image of the repository, or as a means of building images that are pushed to a Docker registry.
