Mixed-Effect Models, with or without Spatial Random Effects

Inference based on models with or without spatially-correlated random effects, multivariate responses, or non-Gaussian random effects (e.g., Beta). Variation in residual variance (heteroscedasticity) can itself be represented by a mixed-effect model. Both classical geostatistical models (Rousset and Ferdy 2014 ), and Markov random field models on irregular grids (as considered in the 'INLA' package, < https://www.r-inla.org>), can be fitted, with distinct computational procedures exploiting the sparse matrix representations for the latter case and other autoregressive models. Laplace approximations are used for likelihood or restricted likelihood. Penalized quasi-likelihood and other variants discussed in the h-likelihood literature (Lee and Nelder 2001 ) are also implemented.

Hyperlink Automatic Detection

Automatic detection of hyperlinks for packages and calls in the text of 'rmarkdown' or 'quarto' documents.

Simplified Error Handling

Alternative to using withCallingHandlers() in the simple case of catch and rethrow. The `%!%` operator evaluates the expression on its left hand side, and if an error occurs, the right hand side is used to construct a new error that embeds the original error.

Functions to Inline C, C++, Fortran Function Calls from R

Functionality to dynamically define R functions and S4 methods with 'inlined' C, C++ or Fortran code supporting the .C and .Call calling conventions.

R Interface to 'Keras'

Interface to 'Keras' < https://keras.io>, a high-level neural networks 'API'. 'Keras' was developed with a focus on enabling fast experimentation, supports both convolution based networks and recurrent networks (as well as combinations of the two), and runs seamlessly on both 'CPU' and 'GPU' devices.

A General-Purpose Package for Dynamic Report Generation in R

Provides a general-purpose tool for dynamic report generation in R using Literate Programming techniques.

Retrieve Code Decorations

Retrieves code comment decorations for C++ languages of the form '\\ [[xyz]]', which are used for automated wrapping of C++ functions.

R and C++11

Rcpp11 includes a header only C++11 library that facilitates integration between R and modern C++.

Handling Missing Values with Multivariate Data Analysis

Imputation of incomplete continuous or categorical datasets; Missing values are imputed with a principal component analysis (PCA), a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) model or a multiple factor analysis (MFA) model; Perform multiple imputation with and in PCA or MCA.
