High-performance MongoDB client based on 'mongo-c-driver' and 'jsonlite'. Includes support for aggregation, indexing, map-reduce, streaming, encryption, enterprise authentication, and GridFS. The online user manual provides an overview of the available methods in the package: < https://jeroen.github.io/mongolite/>.

Validation of Clustering Results

Statistical and biological validation of clustering results. This package implements Dunn Index, Silhouette, Connectivity, Stability, BHI and BSI. Further information can be found in Brock, G et al. (2008) .

Submission Confidence Index Engine

Converts standardized R4SUB (R for Regulatory Submission) evidence into indicator scores, pillar scores, and a Submission Confidence Index (SCI). Provides sensitivity analysis, explainability tables, and decision band classification to answer the question: are we ready for regulatory submission.

Estimation of the Extremal Index

Performs frequentist inference for the extremal index of a stationary time series. Two types of methodology are used. One type is based on a model that relates the distribution of block maxima to the marginal distribution of series and leads to the semiparametric maxima estimators described in Northrop (2015) and Berghaus and Bucher (2018) . Sliding block maxima are used to increase precision of estimation. A graphical block size diagnostic is provided. The other type of methodology uses a model for the distribution of threshold inter-exceedance times (Ferro and Segers (2003) ). Three versions of this type of approach are provided: the iterated weight least squares approach of Suveges (2007) , the K-gaps model of Suveges and Davison (2010) and a similar approach of Holesovsky and Fusek (2020) that we refer to as D-gaps. For the K-gaps and D-gaps models this package allows missing values in the data, can accommodate independent subsets of data, such as monthly or seasonal time series from different years, and can incorporate information from right-censored inter-exceedance times. Graphical diagnostics for the threshold level and the respective tuning parameters K and D are provided.

Environments Behaving (Almost) as Lists

List environments are environments that have list-like properties. For instance, the elements of a list environment are ordered and can be accessed and iterated over using index subsetting, e.g. 'x <- listenv(a = 1, b = 2); for (i in seq_along(x)) x[[i]] <- x[[i]] ^ 2; y <- as.list(x)'.

Clustering Graphics

Orders panels in scatterplot matrices and parallel coordinate displays by some merit index. Package contains various indices of merit, ordering functions, and enhanced versions of pairs and parcoord which color panels according to their merit level.

Quick Indexation

Quick indexation of any type of vector or of any combination of those. Indexation turns a vector into an integer vector going from 1 to the number of unique elements. Indexes are important building blocks for many algorithms. The method is described at < https://github.com/lrberge/indexthis/>.

Calculate Thermal Indexes

Calculates several thermal comfort indexes using temperature, wind speed and relative humidity values, calculating indexes such as Humidex, windchill, Discomfort Index and others.

Spatial Dependence: Weighting Schemes, Statistics

A collection of functions to create spatial weights matrix objects from polygon 'contiguities', from point patterns by distance and tessellations, for summarizing these objects, and for permitting their use in spatial data analysis, including regional aggregation by minimum spanning tree; a collection of tests for spatial 'autocorrelation', including global 'Morans I' and 'Gearys C' proposed by 'Cliff' and 'Ord' (1973, ISBN: 0850860369) and (1981, ISBN: 0850860814), 'Hubert/Mantel' general cross product statistic, Empirical Bayes estimates and 'Assunção/Reis' (1999) Index, 'Getis/Ord' G ('Getis' and 'Ord' 1992) and multicoloured join count statistics, 'APLE' ('Li et al.' ) , local 'Moran's I', 'Gearys C' ('Anselin' 1995) and 'Getis/Ord' G ('Ord' and 'Getis' 1995) , 'saddlepoint' approximations ('Tiefelsdorf' 2002) and exact tests for global and local 'Moran's I' ('Bivand et al.' 2009) and 'LOSH' local indicators of spatial heteroscedasticity ('Ord' and 'Getis') . The implementation of most of these measures is described in 'Bivand' and 'Wong' (2018) , with further extensions in 'Bivand' (2022) . 'Lagrange' multiplier tests for spatial dependence in linear models are provided ('Anselin et al'. 1996) , as are 'Rao' score tests for hypothesised spatial 'Durbin' models based on linear models ('Koley' and 'Bera' 2023) . Additions in 2024 include Local Indicators for Categorical Data based on 'Carrer et al.' (2021) and 'Bivand et al.' (2017) ; also Weighted Multivariate Spatial Autocorrelation Measures ('Bavaud' 2024) . . A local indicators for categorical data (LICD) implementation based on 'Carrer et al.' (2021) and 'Bivand et al.' (2017) was added in 1.3-7. Multivariate 'spatialdelta' ('Bavaud' 2024) was added in 1.3-13 ('Bivand' 2025 ). From 'spdep' and 'spatialreg' versions >= 1.2-1, the model fitting functions previously present in this package are defunct in 'spdep' and may be found in 'spatialreg'.

Index Numbers in Social Sciences

We provide an R tool for teaching in Social Sciences. It allows the computation of index numbers. It is a measure of the evolution of a fixed magnitude for only a product of for several products. It is very useful in Social Sciences. Among others, we obtain simple index numbers (in chain or in serie), index numbers for not only a product or weighted index numbers as the Laspeyres index (Laspeyres, 1864), the Paasche index (Paasche, 1874) or the Fisher index (Lapedes, 1978).
