Multiple Imputation of Covariates by Substantive Model Compatible Fully Conditional Specification

Implements multiple imputation of missing covariates by Substantive Model Compatible Fully Conditional Specification. This is a modification of the popular FCS/chained equations multiple imputation approach, and allows imputation of missing covariate values from models which are compatible with the user specified substantive model.

Analyzing Dendrometer Data

Various functions to import, verify, process and plot high-resolution dendrometer data using daily and stem-cycle approaches as described in Deslauriers et al, 2007 . For more details about the package please see: Van der Maaten et al. 2016 .

Community Ecology Package

Ordination methods, diversity analysis and other functions for community and vegetation ecologists.

An R Package for Facilitating Large-Scale Latent Variable Analyses in Mplus

Leverages the R language to automate latent variable model estimation and interpretation using 'Mplus', a powerful latent variable modeling program developed by Muthen and Muthen (< https://www.statmodel.com>). Specifically, this package provides routines for creating related groups of models, running batches of models, and extracting and tabulating model parameters and fit statistics.

Data Table Back-End for 'dplyr'

Provides a data.table backend for 'dplyr'. The goal of 'dtplyr' is to allow you to write 'dplyr' code that is automatically translated to the equivalent, but usually much faster, data.table code.

Classification and Regression Tests

Provides wrapper functions for running classification and regression tests using different machine learning techniques, such as Random Forests and decision trees. The package provides standardized methods for preparing data to suit the algorithm's needs, training a model, making predictions, and evaluating results. Also, some functions are provided to run multiple instances of a test.

Vectorised Tools for URL Handling and Parsing

A toolkit for all URL-handling needs, including encoding and decoding, parsing, parameter extraction and modification. All functions are designed to be both fast and entirely vectorised. It is intended to be useful for people dealing with web-related datasets, such as server-side logs, although may be useful for other situations involving large sets of URLs.

Minimization Methods for Ill-Conditioned Problems

Implementation of methods for minimizing ill-conditioned problems. Currently only includes regularized (quasi-)newton optimization (Kanzow and Steck et al. (2023), ).

Read, Write and Edit 'xlsx' Files

Simplifies the creation of 'xlsx' files by providing a high level interface to writing, styling and editing worksheets.

Gene Cluster Visualizations

Provides tools for plotting gene clusters and transcripts by importing data from GenBank, FASTA, and GFF files. It performs BLASTP and MUMmer alignments [Altschul et al. (1990) ; Delcher et al. (1999) ] and displays results on gene arrow maps. Extensive customization options are available, including legends, labels, annotations, scales, colors, tooltips, and more.
