Asynchronous Disk-Based Representation of Massive Data

Storing very large data objects on a local drive, while still making it possible to manipulate the data in an efficient manner.

Flexibly Reshape Data

Flexibly restructure and aggregate data using just two functions: melt and cast.

Functional Data Analysis

These functions were developed to support functional data analysis as described in Ramsay, J. O. and Silverman, B. W. (2005) Functional Data Analysis. New York: Springer and in Ramsay, J. O., Hooker, Giles, and Graves, Spencer (2009). Functional Data Analysis with R and Matlab (Springer). The package includes data sets and script files working many examples including all but one of the 76 figures in this latter book. Matlab versions are available by ftp from < https://www.psych.mcgill.ca/misc/fda/downloads/FDAfuns/>.

Data from Gapminder

An excerpt of the data available at Gapminder.org. For each of 142 countries, the package provides values for life expectancy, GDP per capita, and population, every five years, from 1952 to 2007.

Connecting to Various Database Platforms

An R 'DataBase Interface' ('DBI') compatible interface to various database platforms ('PostgreSQL', 'Oracle', 'Microsoft SQL Server', 'Amazon Redshift', 'Microsoft Parallel Database Warehouse', 'IBM Netezza', 'Apache Impala', 'Google BigQuery', 'Snowflake', 'Spark', 'SQLite', and 'InterSystems IRIS'). Also includes support for fetching data as 'Andromeda' objects. Uses either 'Java Database Connectivity' ('JDBC') or other 'DBI' drivers to connect to databases.

Trellis Graphics for R

A powerful and elegant high-level data visualization system inspired by Trellis graphics, with an emphasis on multivariate data. Lattice is sufficient for typical graphics needs, and is also flexible enough to handle most nonstandard requirements. See ?Lattice for an introduction.

Classes for Relational Data

Tools to create and modify network objects. The network class can represent a range of relational data types, and supports arbitrary vertex/edge/graph attributes.

Standard Dataset Manager for Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model Sample Datasets

Facilitates access to sample datasets from the 'EunomiaDatasets' repository (< https://github.com/ohdsi/EunomiaDatasets>).

Export Data Frames to Excel 'xlsx' Format

Zero-dependency data frame to xlsx exporter based on 'libxlsxwriter' < https://libxlsxwriter.github.io>. Fast and no Java or Excel required.

Methods to Convert R Data to YAML and Back

Implements the 'libyaml' 'YAML' 1.1 parser and emitter (< https://pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML>) for R.
