Read Spectral and Logged Data from Foreign Files

Functions for reading, and in some cases writing, foreign files containing spectral data from spectrometers and their associated software, output from daylight simulation models in common use, and some spectral data repositories. As well as functions for exchange of spectral data with other R packages. Part of the 'r4photobiology' suite, Aphalo P. J. (2015) .

Spectral Transmittance and Spectral Reflectance Data

Spectral 'transmittance' data for frequently used filters and similar materials. Plastic sheets and films; photography filters; theatrical gels; machine-vision filters; various types of window glass; optical glass and some laboratory plastics and glassware. Spectral reflectance data for frequently encountered materials. Part of the 'r4photobiology' suite, Aphalo P. J. (2015) .

Miscellaneous Extensions to 'ggplot2'

Extensions to 'ggplot2' respecting the grammar of graphics paradigm. Statistics: locate and tag peaks and valleys; label plot with the equation of a fitted polynomial or other types of models; labels with P-value, R^2 or adjusted R^2 or information criteria for fitted models; label with ANOVA table for fitted models; label with summary for fitted models. Model fit classes for which suitable methods are provided by package 'broom' and 'broom.mixed' are supported. Scales and stats to build volcano and quadrant plots based on outcomes, fold changes, p-values and false discovery rates.

Grammar Extensions to 'ggplot2'

Extensions to 'ggplot2' respecting the grammar of graphics paradigm. Geometries: geom_table(), geom_plot() and geom_grob() add insets to plots using native data coordinates, while geom_table_npc(), geom_plot_npc() and geom_grob_npc() do the same using "npc" coordinates through new aesthetics "npcx" and "npcy". Statistics: select observations based on 2D density. Positions: radial nudging away from a center point and nudging away from a line or curve; combined stacking and nudging; combined dodging and nudging.

Create Interactive Web Graphics via 'plotly.js'

Create interactive web graphics from 'ggplot2' graphs and/or a custom interface to the (MIT-licensed) JavaScript library 'plotly.js' inspired by the grammar of graphics.

Colorblind-Friendly Color Maps for R

Color maps designed to improve graph readability for readers with common forms of color blindness and/or color vision deficiency. The color maps are also perceptually-uniform, both in regular form and also when converted to black-and-white for printing. This package also contains 'ggplot2' bindings for discrete and continuous color and fill scales. A lean version of the package called 'viridisLite' that does not include the 'ggplot2' bindings can be found at < https://cran.r-project.org/package=viridisLite>.

Colorblind-Friendly Color Maps (Lite Version)

Color maps designed to improve graph readability for readers with common forms of color blindness and/or color vision deficiency. The color maps are also perceptually-uniform, both in regular form and also when converted to black-and-white for printing. This is the 'lite' version of the 'viridis' package that also contains 'ggplot2' bindings for discrete and continuous color and fill scales and can be found at < https://cran.r-project.org/package=viridis>.

Automatically Position Non-Overlapping Text Labels with 'ggplot2'

Provides text and label geoms for 'ggplot2' that help to avoid overlapping text labels. Labels repel away from each other and away from the data points.

Efficient Estimation of Covariance and (Partial) Correlation

Implements a James-Stein-type shrinkage estimator for the covariance matrix, with separate shrinkage for variances and correlations. The details of the method are explained in Schafer and Strimmer (2005) and Opgen-Rhein and Strimmer (2007) . The approach is both computationally as well as statistically very efficient, it is applicable to "small n, large p" data, and always returns a positive definite and well-conditioned covariance matrix. In addition to inferring the covariance matrix the package also provides shrinkage estimators for partial correlations and partial variances. The inverse of the covariance and correlation matrix can be efficiently computed, as well as any arbitrary power of the shrinkage correlation matrix. Furthermore, functions are available for fast singular value decomposition, for computing the pseudoinverse, and for checking the rank and positive definiteness of a matrix.

Calibration of P-Values for Point Null Hypothesis Testing

Calibrate p-values under a robust perspective using the methods developed by Sellke, Bayarri, and Berger (2001) and obtain measures of the evidence provided by the data in favor of point null hypotheses which are safer and more straightforward to interpret.
