This package provides functions to access and download data from the Open Case Studies <https://www.opencasestudies.org/> repositories on GitHub <https://github.com/opencasestudies>. Different functions enable users to grab the data they need at different sections in the case study, as well as download the whole case study repository. All the user needs to do is input the name of the case study being worked on. The package relies on the httr::GET() function to access files through the GitHub API. The functions usethis::use_zip() and usethis::create_from_github() are used to clone and/or download the case study repositories.

To solve the linear program, the Gurobi commercial optimization software is recommended, but not required. The gurobi R package can be installed following the instructions at <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r/setup.html> after claiming your free academic license at <https://www.gurobi.com/academia/academic-program-and-licenses/>.

Assessment and diagnostics for comparing competing clustering solutions, using predictive models. The main intended use is for comparing clustering/classification solutions of ecological data (e.g. presence/absence, counts, ordinal scores) to 1) find an optimal partitioning solution, 2) identify characteristic species and 3) refine a classification by merging clusters that increase predictive performance. However, in a more general sense, this package can do the above for any set of clustering solutions for i observations of j variables.

Data integration Web application for biobanks by OBiBa'. Opal is the core database application for biobanks. Participant data, once collected from any data source, must be integrated and stored in a central data repository under a uniform model. Opal is such a central repository. It can import, process, validate, query, analyze, report, and export data. Opal is typically used in a research center to analyze the data acquired at assessment centres. Its ultimate purpose is to achieve seamless data-sharing among biobanks. This Opal client allows to interact with Opal web services and to perform operations on the R server side. DataSHIELD administration tools are also provided.

This contains functions and data used by the Open Visualization Academy classes on data processing and visualization. The tutorial included with this package requires the gradethis package which can be installed using "remotes::install_github('rstudio/gradethis')".

This package provides a lightweight, fully vectorized N-body physics engine built for the R ecosystem. Simulate and visualize complex orbital mechanics, celestial trajectories, and gravitational interactions using tidy data principles. Features multiple numerical integration methods, including the energy-conserving velocity Verlet algorithm (Verlet (1967) <doi:10.1103/PhysRev.159.98>), to ensure highly stable orbital propagation. Gravitational N-body methods follow Aarseth (2003, ISBN:0-521-43272-3).

Optimal k Nearest Neighbours Ensemble is an ensemble of base k nearest neighbour models each constructed on a bootstrap sample with a random subset of features. k closest observations are identified for a test point "x" (say), in each base k nearest neighbour model to fit a stepwise regression to predict the output value of "x". The final predicted value of "x" is the mean of estimates given by all the models. The implemented model takes training and test datasets and trains the model on training data to predict the test data. Ali, A., Hamraz, M., Kumam, P., Khan, D.M., Khalil, U., Sulaiman, M. and Khan, Z. (2020) <DOI:10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3010099>.

O-statistics, or overlap statistics, measure the degree of community-level trait overlap. They are estimated by fitting nonparametric kernel density functions to each speciesâ trait distribution and calculating their areas of overlap. For instance, the median pairwise overlap for a community is calculated by first determining the overlap of each species pair in trait space, and then taking the median overlap of each species pair in a community. This median overlap value is called the O-statistic (O for overlap). The Ostats() function calculates separate univariate overlap statistics for each trait, while the Ostats_multivariate() function calculates a single multivariate overlap statistic for all traits. O-statistics can be evaluated against null models to obtain standardized effect sizes. Ostats is part of the collaborative Macrosystems Biodiversity Project "Local- to continental-scale drivers of biodiversity across the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)." For more information on this project, see the Macrosystems Biodiversity Website (<https://neon-biodiversity.github.io/>). Calculation of O-statistics is described in Read et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/ecog.03641>, and a teaching module for introducing the underlying biological concepts at an undergraduate level is described in Grady et al. (2018) <http://tiee.esa.org/vol/v14/issues/figure_sets/grady/abstract.html>.

Implementation of a likelihood ratio test of differential onset of senescence between two groups. Given two groups with measures of age and of an individual trait likely to be subjected to senescence (e.g. body mass), OnAge provides an asymptotic p-value for the null hypothesis that senescence starts at the same age in both groups. The package implements the procedure used in Douhard et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/oik.04421>.

Utilize an orthogonality constrained optimization algorithm of Wen & Yin (2013) <DOI:10.1007/s10107-012-0584-1> to solve a variety of dimension reduction problems in the semiparametric framework, such as Ma & Zhu (2012) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2011.646925>, Ma & Zhu (2013) <DOI:10.1214/12-AOS1072>, Sun, Zhu, Wang & Zeng (2019) <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asy064> and Zhou, Zhu & Zeng (2021) <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asaa087>. The package also implements some existing dimension reduction methods such as hMave by Xia, Zhang, & Xu (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jasa.2009.tm09372> and partial SAVE by Feng, Wen & Zhu (2013) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2012.746065>. It also serves as a general purpose optimization solver for problems with orthogonality constraints, i.e., in Stiefel manifold. Parallel computing for approximating the gradient is enabled through OpenMP'.
