Super Learner Prediction

Implements the super learner prediction method and contains a library of prediction algorithms to be used in the super learner.

Lightning Fast Serialization of Data Frames

Multithreaded serialization of compressed data frames using the 'fst' format. The 'fst' format allows for full random access of stored data and a wide range of compression settings using the LZ4 and ZSTD compressors.

Test Coverage for Packages

Track and report code coverage for your package and (optionally) upload the results to a coverage service like 'Codecov' < https://about.codecov.io> or 'Coveralls' < https://coveralls.io>. Code coverage is a measure of the amount of code being exercised by a set of tests. It is an indirect measure of test quality and completeness. This package is compatible with any testing methodology or framework and tracks coverage of both R code and compiled C/C++/FORTRAN code.

Dynamic Documents for R

Convert R Markdown documents into a variety of formats.

The Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) Method for Dimensionality Reduction

An implementation of the Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection dimensionality reduction by McInnes et al. (2018) . It also provides means to transform new data and to carry out supervised dimensionality reduction. An implementation of the related LargeVis method of Tang et al. (2016) is also provided. This is a complete re-implementation in R (and C++, via the 'Rcpp' package): no Python installation is required. See the uwot website (< https://github.com/jlmelville/uwot>) for more documentation and examples.

Simple Engine for Generating Reports using R

Runs R-code present in a pandoc markdown file and includes the resulting output in the resulting markdown file. This file can then be converted into any of the output formats supported by pandoc. The package can also be used as an low dependency engine for writing package vignettes.

Read, Write and Edit xlsx Files

Simplifies the creation of Excel .xlsx files by providing a high level interface to writing, styling and editing worksheets. Through the use of 'Rcpp', read/write times are comparable to the 'xlsx' and 'XLConnect' packages with the added benefit of removing the dependency on Java.

Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models

Fit and compare Gaussian linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models.

'Memoisation' of Functions

Cache the results of a function so that when you call it again with the same arguments it returns the previously computed value.

The Scalable Highly Adaptive Lasso

A scalable implementation of the highly adaptive lasso algorithm, including routines for constructing sparse matrices of basis functions of the observed data, as well as a custom implementation of Lasso regression tailored to enhance efficiency when the matrix of predictors is composed exclusively of indicator functions. For ease of use and increased flexibility, the Lasso fitting routines invoke code from the 'glmnet' package by default. The highly adaptive lasso was first formulated and described by MJ van der Laan (2017) , with practical demonstrations of its performance given by Benkeser and van der Laan (2016) . This implementation of the highly adaptive lasso algorithm was described by Hejazi, Coyle, and van der Laan (2020) .
