Sparse Arrays and Multivariate Polynomials

Sparse arrays interpreted as multivariate polynomials. Uses 'disordR' discipline (Hankin, 2022, ). To cite the package in publications please use Hankin (2022) .

Weierstrass and Jacobi Elliptic Functions

A suite of elliptic and related functions including Weierstrass and Jacobi forms. Also includes various tools for manipulating and visualizing complex functions.

Calculate Slopes of Roads, Rivers and Trajectories

Calculates the slope (longitudinal gradient or steepness) of linear geographic features such as roads (for more details, see Ariza-López et al. (2019) ) and rivers (for more details, see Cohen et al. (2018) ). It can use local Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data or download DEM data via the 'ceramic' package. The package also provides functions to add elevation data to linestrings and visualize elevation profiles.

Alluvial Diagrams

Creating alluvial diagrams (also known as parallel sets plots) for multivariate and time series-like data.

Simulate Data from a DAG and Associated Node Information

Simulate complex data from a given directed acyclic graph and information about each individual node. Root nodes are simply sampled from the specified distribution. Child Nodes are simulated according to one of many implemented regressions, such as logistic regression, linear regression, poisson regression and more. Also includes a comprehensive framework for discrete-time simulation, which can generate even more complex longitudinal data. For more details, see Robin Denz, Nina Timmesfeld (2025) .

Easy Spatial Microsimulation (Raking) in R

Functions for performing spatial microsimulation ('raking') in R.

R Object Oriented Programming for Statistical Distribution

Statistical distribution in OOP (Object Oriented Programming) way. This package proposes a R6 class interface to classic statistical distribution, and new distributions can be easily added with the class AbstractDist. A useful point is the generic fit() method for each class, which uses a maximum likelihood estimation to find the parameters of a dataset, see, e.g. Hastie, T. and al (2009) . Furthermore, the rv_histogram class gives a non-parametric fit, with the same accessors that for the classic distribution. Finally, three random generators useful to build synthetic data are given: a multivariate normal generator, an orthogonal matrix generator, and a symmetric positive definite matrix generator, see Mezzadri, F. (2007) .

Linear, Quadratic, and Rational Optimization

Solver for linear, quadratic, and rational programs with linear, quadratic, and rational constraints. A unified interface to different R packages is provided. Optimization problems are transformed into equivalent formulations and solved by the respective package. For example, quadratic programming problems with linear, quadratic and rational constraints can be solved by augmented Lagrangian minimization using package 'alabama', or by sequential quadratic programming using solver 'slsqp'. Alternatively, they can be reformulated as optimization problems with second order cone constraints and solved with package 'cccp'.

Fast Symbolic Multivariate Polynomials

Fast manipulation of symbolic multivariate polynomials using the 'Map' class of the Standard Template Library. The package uses print and coercion methods from the 'mpoly' package but offers speed improvements. It is comparable in speed to the 'spray' package for sparse arrays, but retains the symbolic benefits of 'mpoly'. To cite the package in publications, use Hankin 2022 . Uses 'disordR' discipline.

Bayesian Calibration of Complex Computer Codes

Performs Bayesian calibration of computer models as per Kennedy and O'Hagan 2001. The package includes routines to find the hyperparameters and parameters; see the help page for stage1() for a worked example using the toy dataset. A tutorial is provided in the calex.Rnw vignette; and a suite of especially simple one dimensional examples appears in inst/doc/one.dim/.
