Bayesian Model Averaging

Package for Bayesian model averaging and variable selection for linear models, generalized linear models and survival models (cox regression).

Document Unit Tests Roxygen-Style

Much as 'roxygen2' allows one to document functions in the same file as the function itself, 'roxut' allows one to write the unit tests in the same file as the function. Once processed, the unit tests are moved to the appropriate directory. Currently supports 'testthat' and 'tinytest' frameworks. The 'roxygen2' package provides much of the infrastructure.

Templated Reporting Workflows in Word and PowerPoint

Automated reporting in Word and PowerPoint can require customization for each organizational template. This package works around this by adding standard reporting functions and an abstraction layer to facilitate automated reporting workflows that can be replicated across different organizational templates.

Read Untidy Excel Files

Imports non-tabular from Excel files into R. Exposes cell content, position and formatting in a tidy structure for further manipulation. Tokenizes Excel formulas. Supports '.xlsx' and '.xlsm' via the embedded 'RapidXML' C++ library < https://rapidxml.sourceforge.net>. Does not support '.xlsb' or '.xls'.

Raster-Based Spatial Stratification Algorithms

Algorithms for the spatial stratification of landscapes, sampling and modeling of spatially-varying phenomena. These algorithms offer a simple framework for the stratification of geographic space based on raster layers representing landscape factors and/or factor scales. The stratification process follows a hierarchical approach, which is based on first level units (i.e., classification units) and second-level units (i.e., stratification units). Nonparametric techniques allow to measure the correspondence between the geographic space and the landscape configuration represented by the units. These correspondence metrics are useful to define sampling schemes and to model the spatial variability of environmental phenomena. The theoretical background of the algorithms and code examples are presented in Fuentes et al. (2022). .

Scientometric Analysis Minciencias

The target of 'margaret' is help to extract data from Minciencias to analyze scientific production in Colombia.

Functions to Explore L-Systems (Lindenmayer Systems)

L-systems or Lindenmayer systems are parallel rewriting systems which can be used to simulate biological forms and certain kinds of fractals. Briefly, in an L-system a series of symbols in a string are replaced iteratively according to rules to give a more complex string. Eventually, the symbols are translated into turtle graphics for plotting. Wikipedia has a very good introduction: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system This package provides basic functions for exploring L-systems.

Spot R Functions & Packages

Helpers for parsing out the R functions and packages used in R scripts and notebooks.

Daily Streamflow Trend and Change Point Screening

Screens daily streamflow time series for temporal trends and change-points. This package has been primarily developed for assessing the quality of daily streamflow time series. It also contains tools for plotting and calculating many different streamflow metrics. The package can be used to produce summary screening plots showing change-points and significant temporal trends for high flow, low flow, and/or baseflow statistics, or it can be used to perform more detailed hydrological time series analyses. The package was designed for screening daily streamflow time series from Water Survey Canada and the United States Geological Survey but will also work with streamflow time series from many other agencies. Package update to version 2.0 made updates to read.flows function to allow loading of GRDC and ROBIN streamflow record formats. This package uses the `changepoint` package for change point detection. For more information on change point methods, see the changepoint package at < https://cran.r-project.org/package=changepoint>.

Working with Rotation Data

Tools for working with rotational data, including simulation from the most commonly used distributions on SO(3), methods for different Bayes, mean and median type estimators for the central orientation of a sample, confidence/credible regions for the central orientation based on those estimators and a novel visualization technique for rotation data. Most recently, functions to identify potentially discordant (outlying) values have been added. References: Bingham, Melissa A. and Nordman, Dan J. and Vardeman, Steve B.
