To help you access, transform, analyze, and visualize ForestGEO data, we developed a collection of R packages (<https://forestgeo.github.io/fgeo/>). This package, in particular, helps you to plot ForestGEO data. To learn more about ForestGEO visit <https://forestgeo.si.edu/>.

Estimation and regularization for covariance matrix of asset returns. For covariance matrix estimation, three major types of factor models are included: macroeconomic factor model, fundamental factor model and statistical factor model. For covariance matrix regularization, four regularized estimators are included: banding, tapering, hard-thresholding and soft- thresholding. The tuning parameters of these regularized estimators are selected via cross-validation.

This package provides a tool to use a principal component analysis on radially averaged two dimensional Fourier spectra to characterize image texture. The method within the context of ecology was first described by Couteron et al. (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-2664.2005.01097.x> and expanded upon by Solorzano et al. (2018) <doi:10.1117/1.JRS.12.036006> using a moving window approach.

Lognormal models have broad applications in various research areas such as economics, actuarial science, biology, environmental science and psychology. The estimation problem in lognormal models has been extensively studied. This R package fuel implements thirty-nine existing and newly proposed estimators. See Zhang, F., and Gou, J. (2020), A unified framework for estimation in lognormal models, Technical report.

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) functions for various tasks that are beyond the beta stage and way past the alpha stage. Currently, options are available for weights, restrictions, classical scaling or principal coordinate analysis, transformations (linear, power, Box-Cox, spline, ordinal), outlier mitigation (rdop), out-of-sample estimation (predict), negative dissimilarities, fast and faster executions with low memory footprints, penalized restrictions, cross-validation-based penalty selection, supplementary variable estimation (explain), additive constant estimation, mixed measurement level distance calculation, restricted classical scaling, etc. More will come in the future.

Measure fairness metrics in one place for many models. Check how big is model's bias towards different races, sex, nationalities etc. Use measures such as Statistical Parity, Equal odds to detect the discrimination against unprivileged groups. Visualize the bias using heatmap, radar plot, biplot, bar chart (and more!). There are various pre-processing and post-processing bias mitigation algorithms implemented.

Providing classes, methods, and functions to deal with financial networks. Users can easily store information about both physical and legal persons by using pre-made classes that are studied for integration with scraping packages such as rvest and RSelenium'. Moreover, the package assists in creating various types of financial networks depending on the type of relation between its units depending on the relation under scrutiny (ownership, board interlocks, etc.), the desired tie type (valued or binary), and renders them in the most common formats (adjacency matrix, incidence matrix, edge list, igraph', network'). There are also ad-hoc functions for the Fiedler value, global network efficiency, and cascade-failure analysis.
