Call 'BEAST2'

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'BEAST2' is a command-line tool. This package provides a way to call 'BEAST2' from an 'R' function call.

Downloads and Organizes Financial Data from Yahoo Finance

Facilitates download of financial data from Yahoo Finance < https://finance.yahoo.com/>, a vast repository of stock price data across multiple financial exchanges. The package offers a local caching system and support for parallel computation.

Model Comparison Using 'babette'

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'mcbette' allows to do a Bayesian model comparison over some site and clock models, using 'babette' (< https://github.com/ropensci/babette/>).

High-Performance Matrix Market File Operations

An interface to the 'fast_matrix_market' 'C++' library, this package offers efficient read and write operations for Matrix Market files in R. It supports both sparse and dense matrix formats. Peer-reviewed at 'rOpenSci' (< https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/606>).

'Programmatic Interface to the 'openfisheries.org' API'

A programmatic interface to 'openfisheries.org'. This package is part of the 'rOpenSci' suite ( http://ropensci.org).

Automatic Package Testing

Automatic testing of R packages by tracing function calls made in examples and tests, then systematically varying the inputs to check that functions respond sensibly. The package is a development aid for authors submitting to the 'rOpenSci' statistical software review project ('rOpenSci' authors, 2021; ).

Make Fake Data

Make fake data that looks realistic, supporting addresses, person names, dates, times, colors, coordinates, currencies, digital object identifiers ('DOIs'), jobs, phone numbers, 'DNA' sequences, doubles and integers from distributions and within a range.

Call Google's 'Natural Language', 'Cloud Translation', 'Cloud Speech', and 'Cloud Text-to-Speech' APIs

Access Google Cloud machine learning APIs for text and speech tasks. Use the Cloud Translation API for text detection and translation, the Natural Language API to analyze sentiment, entities, and syntax, the Cloud Speech API to transcribe audio to text, and the Cloud Text-to-Speech API to synthesize text into audio files.

Taxonomic Information from Around the Web

Interacts with a suite of web application programming interfaces (API) for taxonomic tasks, such as getting database specific taxonomic identifiers, verifying species names, getting taxonomic hierarchies, fetching downstream and upstream taxonomic names, getting taxonomic synonyms, converting scientific to common names and vice versa, and more. Some of the services supported include 'NCBI E-utilities' (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25501/>), 'Encyclopedia of Life' (< https://eol.org/docs/what-is-eol/data-services>), 'Global Biodiversity Information Facility' (< https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/>), and many more. Links to the API documentation for other supported services are available in the documentation for their respective functions in this package.

'BEAUti' from R

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'BEAUti 2' (which is part of 'BEAST2') is a GUI tool that allows users to specify the many possible setups and generates the XML file 'BEAST2' needs to run. This package provides a way to create 'BEAST2' input files without active user input, but using R function calls instead.
