Open GenBank Files

Opens complete record(s) with .gb extension from the NCBI/GenBank Nucleotide database and returns a list containing shaped record(s). These kind of files contains detailed records of DNA samples (locus, organism, type of sequence, source of the sequence...). An example of record can be found at < https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/HE799070>.

Imputation of High-Dimensional Count Data using Side Information

Analysis, imputation, and multiple imputation of count data using covariates. LORI uses a log-linear Poisson model where main row and column effects, as well as effects of known covariates and interaction terms can be fitted. The estimation procedure is based on the convex optimization of the Poisson loss penalized by a Lasso type penalty and a nuclear norm. LORI returns estimates of main effects, covariate effects and interactions, as well as an imputed count table. The package also contains a multiple imputation procedure. The methods are described in Robin, Josse, Moulines and Sardy (2019) .

Distances on Directed Graphs

Distances on dual-weighted directed graphs using priority-queue shortest paths (Padgham (2019) ). Weighted directed graphs have weights from A to B which may differ from those from B to A. Dual-weighted directed graphs have two sets of such weights. A canonical example is a street network to be used for routing in which routes are calculated by weighting distances according to the type of way and mode of transport, yet lengths of routes must be calculated from direct distances.

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.

Interface Between 'GRASS' Geographical Information System and 'R'

An interface between the 'GRASS' geographical information system ('GIS') and 'R', based on starting 'R' from within the 'GRASS' 'GIS' environment, or running a free-standing 'R' session in a temporary 'GRASS' location; the package provides facilities for using all 'GRASS' commands from the 'R' command line. The original interface package for 'GRASS 5' (2000-2010) is described in Bivand (2000) and Bivand (2001) < https://www.r-project.org/conferences/DSC-2001/Proceedings/Bivand.pdf>. This was succeeded by 'spgrass6' for 'GRASS 6' (2006-2016) and 'rgrass7' for 'GRASS 7' (2015-present). The 'rgrass' package modernizes the interface for 'GRASS 8' while still permitting the use of 'GRASS 7'.

Extension to 'tmap' for Creating Network Visualizations

Provides functions for visualizing networks with 'tmap'. It supports 'sfnetworks' objects natively but is not limited to them. Useful for adding network layers such as edges and nodes to 'tmap' maps. More features may be added in future versions.

Cluster Origin-Destination Flow Data

Provides functionality for clustering origin-destination (OD) pairs, representing desire lines (or flows). This includes creating distance matrices between OD pairs and passing distance matrices to a clustering algorithm. See the academic paper Tao and Thill (2016) for more details on spatial clustering of flows. See the paper on delineating demand-responsive operating areas by Mahfouz et al. (2025) for an example of how this package can be used to cluster flows for applied transportation research.

Simultaneous Inference for Multiple Linear Contrasts in GEE Models

Provides global hypothesis tests, multiple testing procedures and simultaneous confidence intervals for multiple linear contrasts of regression coefficients in a single generalized estimating equation (GEE) model or across multiple GEE models. GEE models are fit by a modified version of the 'geeM' package.

Read and Write CSV on the Web (CSVW) Tables and Metadata

Provide functions for reading and writing CSVW - i.e. CSV tables and JSON metadata. The metadata helps interpret CSV by setting the types and variable names.

Estimate Parameters in the Generalized SBM

Given an adjacency matrix drawn from a Generalized Stochastic Block Model with missing observations, this package robustly estimates the probabilities of connection between nodes and detects outliers nodes, as describes in Gaucher, Klopp and Robin (2019) .
