The Futureverse is a set of packages for parallel and distributed processing with the future package at its core, cf. Bengtsson (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-048>. This package is designed to make it easy to install common Futureverse packages in a single step. This package is intended for end-users, interactive use, and R scripts. Packages must not list it as a dependency - instead, explicitly declare each Futureverse package as a dependency as needed.

The functions in filibustr streamline the process for importing data on Congress into R, removing the need to download and work from CSV files and the like. Data sources include Voteview (<https://voteview.com/>), the U.S. Senate website (<https://www.senate.gov/>), and more.

Perform various floating catchment area methods to calculate a spatial accessibility index (SPAI) for demand point data. The distance matrix used for weighting is normalized in a preprocessing step using common functions (gaussian, gravity, exponential or logistic).

This package provides functions for calculating various measures of foreign policy similarity or association commonly used in the study of international relations. These include Signorino and Ritter's S statistic (weighted and unweighted), Cohen's weighted kappa, Scott's pi, and Kendall's tau-b. The package facilitates the generation of dyadic similarity scores for empirical analyses and can also serve as an educational resource for understanding how such measures are derived.

The four-gamete test is based on the infinite-sites model which assumes that the probability of the same mutation occurring twice (recurrent or parallel mutations) and the probability of a mutation back to the original state (reverse mutations) are close to zero. Without these types of mutations, the only explanation for observing the four dilocus genotypes (example below) is recombination (Hudson and Kaplan 1985, Genetics 111:147-164). Thus, the presence of all four gametes is also called phylogenetic incompatibility.

Fast, numerically robust computation of weighted moments via Rcpp'. Supports computation on vectors and matrices, and Monoidal append of moments. Moments and cumulants over running fixed length windows can be computed, as well as over time-based windows. Moment computations are via a generalization of Welford's method, as described by Bennett et. (2009) <doi:10.1109/CLUSTR.2009.5289161>.

This method is a new class of model selection strategies, for mixed model selection, which includes linear and generalized linear mixed models. The idea involves a procedure to isolate a subgroup of what are known as correct models (of which the optimal model is a member). This is accomplished by constructing a statistical fence, or barrier, to carefully eliminate incorrect models. Once the fence is constructed, the optimal model is selected from among those within the fence according to a criterion which can be made flexible. References: 1. Jiang J., Rao J.S., Gu Z., Nguyen T.

This package provides a tool to explore wide data sets, by detecting, ranking and plotting groups of statistically dependent columns.

Turn irregular polygons (such as geographical regions) into regular or hexagonal grids. This package enables the generation of regular (square) and hexagonal grids through the package sp and then assigns the content of the existing polygons to the new grid using the Hungarian algorithm, Kuhn (1955) (<doi:10.1007/978-3-540-68279-0_2>). This prevents the need for manual generation of hexagonal grids or regular grids that are supposed to reflect existing geography.

Causal mediation analysis for a single exposure/treatment and a single mediator, both allowed to be either continuous or binary. The package implements the difference method and provides point and interval estimates as well as testing for the natural direct and indirect effects and the mediation proportion.

This package performs linear regression with correlated predictors, responses and correlated measurement errors in predictors and responses, correcting for biased caused by these.

This package provides a collection of tools to create, use and maintain modularized model code written in the modeling language GAMS (<https://www.gams.com/>). Out-of-the-box GAMS does not come with support for modularized model code. This package provides the tools necessary to convert a standard GAMS model to a modularized one by introducing a modularized code structure together with a naming convention which emulates local environments. In addition, this package provides tools to monitor the compliance of the model code with modular coding guidelines.
