'RStudio' Addins to Simplify 'Markdown' Writing

An 'RStudio' addin providing shortcuts for writing in 'Markdown'. This package provides a series of functions that allow the user to be more efficient when using 'Markdown'. For example, you can select a word, and put it in bold or in italics, or change the alignment of elements inside you Rmd. The idea is to map all the functionalities from 'remedy' on keyboard shortcuts, so that it provides an interface close to what you can find in any other text editor.

Selection Threshold Optimized Empirically via Splitting

Implements variable selection procedures for low to moderate size generalized linear regressions models. It includes the STOPES functions for linear regression (Capanu M, Giurcanu M, Begg C, Gonen M, Optimized variable selection via repeated data splitting, Statistics in Medicine, 2020, 19(6):2167-2184) as well as subsampling based optimization methods for generalized linear regression models (Marinela Capanu, Mihai Giurcanu, Colin B Begg, Mithat Gonen, Subsampling based variable selection for generalized linear models).

Tools for Managing Classes on GitHub

Interface for the GitHub API that enables efficient management of courses on GitHub. It has a functionality for managing organizations, teams, repositories, and users on GitHub and helps automate most of the tedious and repetitive tasks around creating and distributing assignments.

API Client and Dataset Management for the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Data

Provides a client for (1) querying the DHS API for survey indicators and metadata (< https://api.dhsprogram.com/#/index.html>), (2) identifying surveys and datasets for analysis, (3) downloading survey datasets from the DHS website, (4) loading datasets and associate metadata into R, and (5) extracting variables and combining datasets for pooled analysis.

Interface to Geometry Engine - Open Source ('GEOS')

Interface to Geometry Engine - Open Source ('GEOS') using the C 'API' for topology operations on geometries. Please note that 'rgeos' will be retired during October 2023, plan transition to 'sf' or 'terra' functions using 'GEOS', or the 'geos' package, at your earliest convenience (see < https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html> and earlier blogs for guidance). The 'GEOS' library is external to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly installed first. Windows and Mac Intel OS X binaries are provided on 'CRAN'. ('rgeos' >= 0.5-1): Up to and including 'GEOS' 3.7.1, topological operations succeeded with some invalid geometries for which the same operations fail from and including 'GEOS' 3.7.2. The 'checkValidity=' argument defaults and structure have been changed, from default FALSE to integer default '0L' for 'GEOS' < 3.7.2 (no check), '1L' 'GEOS' >= 3.7.2 (check and warn). A value of '2L' is also provided that may be used, assigned globally using 'set_RGEOS_CheckValidity(2L)', or locally using the 'checkValidity=2L' argument, to attempt zero-width buffer repair if invalid geometries are found. The previous default (FALSE, now '0L') is fastest and used for 'GEOS' < 3.7.2, but will not warn users of possible problems before the failure of topological operations that previously succeeded. From 'GEOS' 3.8.0, repair of geometries may also be attempted using 'gMakeValid()', which may, however, return a collection of geometries of different types.

Pain Assessment at Withdrawal Speeds (PAWS)

Automated pain scoring from paw withdrawal tracking data. Based on Jones et al. (2020) "A machine-vision approach for automated pain measurement at millisecond timescales" .

Gillespie's Stochastic Simulation Algorithm for Impatient People

A fast, scalable, and versatile framework for simulating large systems with Gillespie's Stochastic Simulation Algorithm ('SSA'). This package is the spiritual successor to the 'GillespieSSA' package originally written by Mario Pineda-Krch. Benefits of this package include major speed improvements (>100x), easier to understand documentation, and many unit tests that try to ensure the package works as intended. Cannoodt and Saelens et al. (2021) .

Generate Fake Datasets for Prototyping and Teaching

Create fake datasets that can be used for prototyping and teaching. This package provides a set of functions to generate fake data for a variety of data types, such as dates, addresses, and names. It can be used for prototyping (notably in 'shiny') or as a tool to teach data manipulation and data visualization.

An R Interface to the JBrowse 2 Genome Browser

Provides an R interface to the JBrowse 2 genome browser. Enables embedding a JB2 genome browser in a Shiny app or R Markdown document. The browser can also be launched from an interactive R console. The browser can be loaded with a variety of common genomics data types, and can be used with a custom theme.
