Landscape Epidemiology and Evolution

A stochastic, spatially-explicit, demo-genetic model simulating the spread and evolution of a plant pathogen in a heterogeneous landscape to assess resistance deployment strategies. It is based on a spatial geometry for describing the landscape and allocation of different cultivars, a dispersal kernel for the dissemination of the pathogen, and a SEIR ('Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed’) structure with a discrete time step. It provides a useful tool to assess the performance of a wide range of deployment options with respect to their epidemiological, evolutionary and economic outcomes.

Latent Factor Mixed Models

Fast and accurate inference of gene-environment associations (GEA) in genome-wide studies (Caye et al., 2019, ). We developed a least-squares estimation approach for confounder and effect sizes estimation that provides a unique framework for several categories of genomic data, not restricted to genotypes. The speed of the new algorithm is several times faster than the existing GEA approaches, then our previous version of the 'LFMM' program present in the 'LEA' package (Frichot and Francois, 2015, ).

Visualize Data for Host and Viral Population from 'SMITIDstruct' using 'HTMLwidgets'

Visualisation tools for 'SMITIDstruct' package. Allow to visualize host timeline, transmission tree, index diversities and variant graph using 'HTMLwidgets'. It mainly using 'D3JS' javascript framework.

Add Even More Interactivity to Interactive Charts

Like package 'manipulate' does for static graphics, this package helps to easily add controls like sliders, pickers, checkboxes, etc. that can be used to modify the input data or the parameters of an interactive chart created with package 'htmlwidgets'.

Population Fisher Information Matrix

Evaluate or optimize designs for nonlinear mixed effects models using the Fisher Information matrix. Methods used in the package refer to Mentré F, Mallet A, Baccar D (1997) , Retout S, Comets E, Samson A, Mentré F (2007) , Bazzoli C, Retout S, Mentré F (2009) , Le Nagard H, Chao L, Tenaillon O (2011) , Combes FP, Retout S, Frey N, Mentré F (2013) and Seurat J, Tang Y, Mentré F, Nguyen TT (2021) .

Biodiversity Assessment Tools

Includes algorithms to assess alpha and beta diversity in all their dimensions (taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional). It allows performing a number of analyses based on species identities/abundances, phylogenetic/functional distances, trees, convex-hulls or kernel density n-dimensional hypervolumes depicting species relationships. Cardoso et al. (2015) .

Deprecated 'classic' 'Rcpp' 'API'

The 'RcppClassic' package provides a deprecated C++ library which facilitates the integration of R and C++. New projects should use the new 'Rcpp' 'API' in the 'Rcpp' package.

Interface for Masked Autoregressive Flows

Interfaces the 'python' library 'zuko' implementing Masked Autoregressive Flows. See Rozet, Divo and Schnake (2023) and Papamakarios, Pavlakou and Murray (2017) .

Tools for Eurostat Open Data

Tools to download data from the Eurostat database < https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat> together with search and manipulation utilities.

Reapportion Data from One Geography to Another

A port of the 'spReapportion' package, using Simple Features in order to lose the dependencies to the retired 'maptools' and 'rgeos' packages.
