'Asio' C++ Header Files

'Asio' is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous model using a modern C++ approach. It is also included in Boost but requires linking when used with Boost. Standalone it can be used header-only (provided a recent compiler). 'Asio' is written and maintained by Christopher M. Kohlhoff, and released under the 'Boost Software License', Version 1.0.

C-Like 'getopt' Behavior

Package designed to be used with Rscript to write '#!' shebang scripts that accept short and long flags/options. Many users will prefer using instead the packages optparse or argparse which add extra features like automatically generated help option and usage, support for default values, positional argument support, etc.

Random Sampling Distribution C++ Routines for Armadillo

Provides popular sampling distributions C++ routines based in armadillo through a header file approach.

Utilities from and Interface to the 'Bioinfo-C' ('BIOS') Library

Provides interface to the 'Bioinfo-C' (internal name: 'BIOS') library and utilities. 'ribiosUtils' is a Swiss-knife for computational biology in drug discovery, providing functions and utilities with minimal external dependency and maximal efficiency.

Solving Ax = b Nimbly in C++

Routines for solving large systems of linear equations and eigenproblems in R. Direct and iterative solvers from the Eigen C++ library are made available. Solvers include Cholesky, LU, QR, and Krylov subspace methods (Conjugate Gradient, BiCGSTAB). Dense and sparse problems are supported.

Expanded Replacement and Extension of the 'optim' Function

Provides a replacement and extension of the optim() function to call to several function minimization codes in R in a single statement. These methods handle smooth, possibly box constrained functions of several or many parameters. Note that function 'optimr()' was prepared to simplify the incorporation of minimization codes going forward. Also implements some utility codes and some extra solvers, including safeguarded Newton methods. Many methods previously separate are now included here. This is the version for CRAN.

Mesh Generation and Surface Tessellation

Makes the 'Qhull' library < http://www.qhull.org> available in R, in a similar manner as in Octave and MATLAB. Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It runs in 2D, 3D, 4D, and higher dimensions. It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull does not support constrained Delaunay triangulations, or mesh generation of non-convex objects, but the package does include some R functions that allow for this.

C-Statistics for Risk Prediction Models with Censored Survival Data

Performs inference for C of risk prediction models with censored survival data, using the method proposed by Uno et al. (2011) . Inference for the difference in C between two competing prediction models is also implemented.

Tidy C++ Header-Only Definitions for Parts of the C API of R

Core parts of the C API of R are wrapped in a C++ namespace via a set of inline functions giving a tidier representation of the underlying data structures and functionality using a header-only implementation without additional dependencies.

Adaptive Multivariate Integration over Hypercubes

R wrappers around the cubature C library of Steven G. Johnson for adaptive multivariate integration over hypercubes and the Cuba C library of Thomas Hahn for deterministic and Monte Carlo integration. Scalar and vector interfaces for cubature and Cuba routines are provided; the vector interfaces are highly recommended as demonstrated in the package vignette.
