Landscape Visualizations in R and 'Unity'

Functions for the retrieval, manipulation, and visualization of 'geospatial' data, with an aim towards producing '3D' landscape visualizations in the 'Unity' '3D' rendering engine. Functions are also provided for retrieving elevation data and base map tiles from the 'USGS' National Map < https://apps.nationalmap.gov/services/>.

R Client Package for Circle CI

Tools for interacting with the 'Circle CI' API (< https://circleci.com/docs/api/v2/>). Besides executing common tasks such as querying build logs and restarting builds, this package also helps setting up permissions to deploy from builds.

Print Maps, Draw on Them, Scan Them Back in

Enables preparation of maps to be printed and drawn on. Modified maps can then be scanned back in, and hand-drawn marks converted to spatial objects.

A Tidyverse-Native Client for the 'BrAPI' v2 (Breeding API) Specification

Provides pipe-friendly, stateless read access to the Breeding API ('BrAPI') v2.1 specification, an open community standard for plant breeding data interchange maintained by the BrAPI project < https://brapi.org>. Wraps 32 of the 37 'BrAPI' v2.1 entities across all four modules, Core, Germplasm, Phenotyping, and Genotyping, covering 49 of the specification's 138 retrieval ('GET' and search) endpoints and returning tidy tibbles ready for analysis. Write and update endpoints are out of scope by design. Features include automatic pagination, async search handling, response caching, parallel batch fetching, and convenience functions for genomic selection workflows (e.g. dosage matrix extraction). Designed for plant breeders and bioinformaticians who need programmatic access to plant breeding databases that implement the 'BrAPI' v2 specification.

Deterministic Categorization of Items Based on External Code Data

Fast categorization of items based on external code data identified by regular expressions. A typical use case considers patient with medically coded data, such as codes from the International Classification of Diseases ('ICD') or the Anatomic Therapeutic Chemical ('ATC') classification system. Functions of the package relies on a triad of objects: (1) case data with unit id:s and possible dates of interest; (2) external code data for corresponding units in (1) and with optional dates of interest and; (3) a classification scheme ('classcodes' object) with regular expressions to identify and categorize relevant codes from (2). It is easy to introduce new classification schemes ('classcodes' objects) or to use default schemes included in the package. Use cases includes patient categorization based on 'comorbidity indices' such as 'Charlson', 'Elixhauser', 'RxRisk V', or the 'comorbidity-polypharmacy' score (CPS), as well as adverse events after hip and knee replacement surgery.

A Test Environment for Database Requests

Testing and documenting code that communicates with remote databases can be painful. Although the interaction with R is usually relatively simple (e.g. data(frames) passed to and from a database), because they rely on a separate service and the data there, testing them can be difficult to set up, unsustainable in a continuous integration environment, or impossible without replicating an entire production cluster. This package addresses that by allowing you to make recordings from your database interactions and then play them back while testing (or in other contexts) all without needing to spin up or have access to the database your code would typically connect to.

Interface with the United Nations Comtrade API

Interface with and extract data from the United Nations 'Comtrade' API < https://comtradeplus.un.org/>. 'Comtrade' provides country level shipping data for a variety of commodities, these functions allow for easy API query and data returned as a tidy data frame.

Extract Tables from PDF Documents

Bindings for the 'Tabula' < https://tabula.technology/> 'Java' library, which can extract tables from PDF files. This tool can reduce time and effort in data extraction processes in fields like investigative journalism. It allows for automatic and manual table extraction, the latter facilitated through a 'Shiny' interface, enabling manual areas selection\ with a computer mouse for data retrieval.

Build Reproducible Analytical Pipelines with 'Nix'

Streamlines the creation of reproducible analytical pipelines using 'default.nix' expressions generated via the 'rix' package for reproducibility. Define derivations in 'R', 'Python' or 'Julia', chain them into a composition of pure functions and build the resulting pipeline using 'Nix' as the underlying end-to-end build tool. Functions to plot the pipeline as a directed acyclic graph are included, as well as functions to load and inspect intermediary results for interactive analysis. User experience heavily inspired by the 'targets' package.

Efficiently Retrieve and Process Satellite Imagery

Downloads spatial data from spatiotemporal asset catalogs ('STAC'), computes standard spectral indices from the Awesome Spectral Indices project (Montero et al. (2023) ) against raster data, and glues the outputs together into predictor bricks. Methods focus on interoperability with the broader spatial ecosystem; function arguments and outputs use classes from 'sf' and 'terra', and data downloading functions support complex 'CQL2' queries using 'rstac'.
