Robust Selection Algorithm

An implementation of algorithms for estimation of the graphical lasso regularization parameter described in Pedro Cisneros-Velarde, Alexander Petersen and Sang-Yun Oh (2020) < http://proceedings.mlr.press/v108/cisneros20a.html>.

An Interface to IMF (International Monetary Fund) Data JSON API

A straightforward interface for accessing the IMF (International Monetary Fund) data JSON API, available at < https://data.imf.org/>. This package offers direct access to the primary API endpoints: Dataflow, DataStructure, and CompactData. And, it provides an intuitive interface for exploring available dimensions and attributes, as well as querying individual time-series datasets. Additionally, the package implements a rate limit on API calls to reduce the chances of exceeding service limits (limited to 10 calls every 5 seconds) and encountering response errors.

Credential Chain for Seamless 'OAuth 2.0' Authentication to 'Azure Services'

Implements a credential chain for 'Azure OAuth 2.0' authentication based on the package 'httr2''s 'OAuth' framework. Sequentially attempts authentication methods until one succeeds. During development allows interactive browser-based flows ('Device Code' and 'Auth Code' flows) and non-interactive flow ('Client Secret') in batch mode.

Progressive Web App Support for Shiny

Adds Progressive Web App support for Shiny apps, including desktop and mobile installations.

CSS Layouts (Grid and Flexbox) Implementation for R/Shiny

Allows easy creation of CSS layouts (grid and flexbox) directly from R without added CSS.

Find Hex Logos for CRAN Packages

Scavenge the web for possible hex logos for CRAN packages.

Sound Waves Onto Morphometric Data

Implement a promising, and yet little explored protocol for bioacoustical analysis, the eigensound method by MacLeod, Krieger and Jones (2013) . Eigensound is a multidisciplinary method focused on the direct comparison between stereotyped sounds from different species. 'SoundShape', in turn, provide the tools required for anyone to go from sound waves to Principal Components Analysis, using tools extracted from traditional bioacoustics (i.e. 'tuneR' and 'seewave' packages), geometric morphometrics (i.e. 'geomorph' package) and multivariate analysis (e.g. 'stats' package). For more information, please see Rocha and Romano (2021) and check 'SoundShape' repository on GitHub for news and updates < https://github.com/p-rocha/SoundShape>.

ARAchnid KNowledge Online

Allows the user to connect with the World Spider Catalogue (WSC; < https://wsc.nmbe.ch/>) and the World Spider Trait (WST; < https://spidertraits.sci.muni.cz/>) databases. Also performs several basic functions such as checking names validity, retrieving coordinate data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; < https://www.gbif.org/>), and mapping.

Spatial Interpolation of Genetic Data

The spatial interpolation of genetic distances between samples is based on a modified kriging method that accepts a genetic distance matrix and generates a map of probability of lineage presence. This package also offers tools to generate a map of potential contact zones between groups with user-defined thresholds in the tree to account for old and recent divergence. Additionally, it has functions for IDW interpolation using genetic data and midpoints.
