Superpixels of Spatial Data

Creates superpixels based on input spatial data. This package works on spatial data with one variable (e.g., continuous raster), many variables (e.g., RGB rasters), and spatial patterns (e.g., areas in categorical rasters). It is based on the SLIC algorithm (Achanta et al. (2012) ), and readapts it to work with arbitrary dissimilarity measures.

R Interface to 'AutoKeras'

R Interface to 'AutoKeras' < https://autokeras.com/>. 'AutoKeras' is an open source software library for Automated Machine Learning (AutoML). The ultimate goal of AutoML is to provide easily accessible deep learning tools to domain experts with limited data science or machine learning background. 'AutoKeras' provides functions to automatically search for architecture and hyperparameters of deep learning models.

Scaling Models and Classifiers for Textual Data

Scaling models and classifiers for sparse matrix objects representing textual data in the form of a document-feature matrix. Includes original implementations of 'Laver', 'Benoit', and Garry's (2003) , 'Wordscores' model, the Perry and 'Benoit' (2017) class affinity scaling model, and the 'Slapin' and 'Proksch' (2008) 'wordfish' model, as well as methods for correspondence analysis, latent semantic analysis, and fast Naive Bayes and linear 'SVMs' specially designed for sparse textual data.

Fast Data Structures

Fast implementation of data structures, including a key-value store, stack, and queue. Environments are commonly used as key-value stores in R, but every time a new key is used, it is added to R's global symbol table, causing a small amount of memory leakage. This can be problematic in cases where many different keys are used. Fastmap avoids this memory leak issue by implementing the map using data structures in C++.

A Program for Missing Data

A tool that "multiply imputes" missing data in a single cross-section (such as a survey), from a time series (like variables collected for each year in a country), or from a time-series-cross-sectional data set (such as collected by years for each of several countries). Amelia II implements our bootstrapping-based algorithm that gives essentially the same answers as the standard IP or EMis approaches, is usually considerably faster than existing approaches and can handle many more variables. Unlike Amelia I and other statistically rigorous imputation software, it virtually never crashes (but please let us know if you find to the contrary!). The program also generalizes existing approaches by allowing for trends in time series across observations within a cross-sectional unit, as well as priors that allow experts to incorporate beliefs they have about the values of missing cells in their data. Amelia II also includes useful diagnostics of the fit of multiple imputation models. The program works from the R command line or via a graphical user interface that does not require users to know R.

Compositional Data Analysis

Provides functions for the consistent analysis of compositional data (e.g. portions of substances) and positive numbers (e.g. concentrations) in the way proposed by J. Aitchison and V. Pawlowsky-Glahn.

Streamlined Plot Theme and Plot Annotations for 'ggplot2'

Provides various features that help with creating publication-quality figures with 'ggplot2', such as a set of themes, functions to align plots and arrange them into complex compound figures, and functions that make it easy to annotate plots and or mix plots with images. The package was originally written for internal use in the Wilke lab, hence the name (Claus O. Wilke's plot package). It has also been used extensively in the book Fundamentals of Data Visualization.

Processing METAR Weather Reports

Allows to download current and historical METAR weather reports extract and parse basic parameters and present main weather information. Current reports are downloaded from Aviation Weather Center < https://aviationweather.gov/data/metar/> and historical reports from Iowa Environmental Mesonet web page of Iowa State University ASOS-AWOS-METAR < http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/AWOS/>.

Multivariate Normal and t Distributions

Computes multivariate normal and t probabilities, quantiles, random deviates, and densities. Log-likelihoods for multivariate Gaussian models and Gaussian copulae parameterised by Cholesky factors of covariance or precision matrices are implemented for interval-censored and exact data, or a mix thereof. Score functions for these log-likelihoods are available. A class representing multiple lower triangular matrices and corresponding methods are part of this package.

Oceans 2.0 API Client Library

Allows users to discover and retrieve Ocean Networks Canada's oceanographic data in raw, text, image, audio, video or any other format available. Provides a class that wraps web service calls and business logic so that users can download data with a single line of code.
