Core Methods and Classes Used by 'aroma.*' Packages Part of the Aroma Framework

Core methods and classes used by higher-level 'aroma.*' packages part of the Aroma Project, e.g. 'aroma.affymetrix' and 'aroma.cn'.

Simple Memory Profiling for R

A simple and light-weight API for memory profiling of R expressions. The profiling is built on top of R's built-in memory profiler ('utils::Rprofmem()'), which records every memory allocation done by R (also native code).

Create Compact Hash Digests of R Objects

Implementation of a function 'digest()' for the creation of hash digests of arbitrary R objects (using the 'md5', 'sha-1', 'sha-256', 'crc32', 'xxhash', 'murmurhash', 'spookyhash', 'blake3', 'crc32c', 'xxh3_64', and 'xxh3_128' algorithms) permitting easy comparison of R language objects, as well as functions such as 'hmac()' to create hash-based message authentication code. Please note that this package is not meant to be deployed for cryptographic purposes for which more comprehensive (and widely tested) libraries such as 'OpenSSL' should be used.

Analysis of Parent-Specific DNA Copy Numbers

Segmentation of allele-specific DNA copy number data and detection of regions with abnormal copy number within each parental chromosome. Both tumor-normal paired and tumor-only analyses are supported.

Fit a Principal Curve in Arbitrary Dimension

Fitting a principal curve to a data matrix in arbitrary dimensions. Hastie and Stuetzle (1989) .

Batch Computing with R

Provides Map, Reduce and Filter variants to generate jobs on batch computing systems like PBS/Torque, LSF, SLURM and Sun Grid Engine. Multicore and SSH systems are also supported. For further details see the project web page.

R Interface to the Pushbullet Messaging Service

An R interface to the Pushbullet messaging service which provides fast and efficient notifications (and file transfer) between computers, phones and tablets. An account has to be registered at the site < https://www.pushbullet.com> site to obtain a (free) API key.

Install 'Futureverse' in One Go

The 'Futureverse' is a set of packages for parallel and distributed processing with the 'future' package at its core, cf. Bengtsson (2021) . This package is designed to make it easy to install common 'Futureverse' packages in a single step. This package is intended for end-users, interactive use, and R scripts. Packages must not list it as a dependency - instead, explicitly declare each 'Futureverse' package as a dependency as needed.

Friendly R Startup Configuration

Adds support for R startup configuration via '.Renviron.d' and '.Rprofile.d' directories in addition to '.Renviron' and '.Rprofile' files. This makes it possible to keep private / secret environment variables separate from other environment variables. It also makes it easier to share specific startup settings by simply copying a file to a directory.

A Probe-Level Data File Format Used by 'aroma.affymetrix' [deprecated]

DEPRECATED. Do not start building new projects based on this package. (The (in-house) APD file format was initially developed to store Affymetrix probe-level data, e.g. normalized CEL intensities. Chip types can be added to APD file and similar to methods in the affxparser package, this package provides methods to read APDs organized by units (probesets). In addition, the probe elements can be arranged optimally such that the elements are guaranteed to be read in order when, for instance, data is read unit by unit. This speeds up the read substantially. This package is supporting the Aroma framework and should not be used elsewhere.)
