Positron Emission Tomography Time-Activity Curve Analysis

To facilitate the analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) time activity curve (TAC) data, and to encourage open science and replicability, this package supports data loading and analysis of multiple TAC file formats. Functions are available to analyze loaded TAC data for individual participants or in batches. Major functionality includes weighted TAC merging by region of interest (ROI), calculating models including standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) and distribution volume ratio (DVR, Logan et al. 1996 ), basic plotting functions and calculation of cut-off values (Aizenstein et al. 2008 ). Please see the walkthrough vignette for a detailed overview of 'tacmagic' functions.

Convert European Regional Data

Motivated by changing administrative boundaries over time, the 'nuts' package can convert European regional data with NUTS codes between versions (2006, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2021) and levels (NUTS 1, NUTS 2 and NUTS 3). The package uses spatial interpolation as in Lam (1983) based on granular (100m x 100m) area, population and land use data provided by the European Commission's Joint Research Center.

Downloading Supplementary Data from Published Manuscripts

Downloads data supplementary materials from manuscripts, using papers' DOIs as references. Facilitates open, reproducible research workflows: scientists re-analyzing published datasets can work with them as easily as if they were stored on their own computer, and others can track their analysis workflow painlessly. The main function suppdata() returns a (temporary) location on the user's computer where the file is stored, making it simple to use suppdata() with standard functions like read.csv().

Open Trade Statistics API Wrapper and Utility Program

Access 'Open Trade Statistics' API from R to download international trade data.

Find Free Versions of Scholarly Publications via Unpaywall

This web client interfaces Unpaywall < https://unpaywall.org/products/api>, formerly oaDOI, a service finding free full-texts of academic papers by linking DOIs with open access journals and repositories. It provides unified access to various data sources for open access full-text links including Crossref and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). API usage is free and no registration is required.

Ergonomic Methods for Assessing Spatial Models

Assessing predictive models of spatial data can be challenging, both because these models are typically built for extrapolating outside the original region represented by training data and due to potential spatially structured errors, with "hot spots" of higher than expected error clustered geographically due to spatial structure in the underlying data. Methods are provided for assessing models fit to spatial data, including approaches for measuring the spatial structure of model errors, assessing model predictions at multiple spatial scales, and evaluating where predictions can be made safely. Methods are particularly useful for models fit using the 'tidymodels' framework. Methods include Moran's I ('Moran' (1950) ), Geary's C ('Geary' (1954) ), Getis-Ord's G ('Ord' and 'Getis' (1995) ), agreement coefficients from 'Ji' and Gallo (2006) (), agreement metrics from 'Willmott' (1981) () and 'Willmott' 'et' 'al'. (2012) (), an implementation of the area of applicability methodology from 'Meyer' and 'Pebesma' (2021) (), and an implementation of multi-scale assessment as described in 'Riemann' 'et' 'al'.

Base de Datos de Facil Acceso del Censo 2017 de Chile (2017 Chilean Census Easy Access Database)

Provee un acceso conveniente a mas de 17 millones de registros de la base de datos del Censo 2017. Los datos fueron importados desde el DVD oficial del INE usando el Convertidor REDATAM creado por Pablo De Grande. Esta paquete esta documentado intencionalmente en castellano asciificado para que funcione sin problema en diferentes plataformas. (Provides convenient access to more than 17 million records from the Chilean Census 2017 database. The datasets were imported from the official DVD provided by the Chilean National Bureau of Statistics by using the REDATAM converter created by Pablo De Grande and in addition it includes the maps accompanying these datasets.)

Download and Import Open Street Map Data Extracts

Landscape Utility Toolbox

Provides utility functions for some of the less-glamorous tasks involved in landscape analysis. It includes functions to coerce raster data to the common tibble format and vice versa, it helps with flexible reclassification tasks of raster data and it provides a function to merge multiple raster. Furthermore, 'landscapetools' helps landscape scientists to visualize their data by providing optional themes and utility functions to plot single landscapes, rasterstacks, -bricks and lists of raster.

Find, Download and Process MODIS Land Products Data

Allows automating the creation of time series of rasters derived from MODIS satellite land products data. It performs several typical preprocessing steps such as download, mosaicking, reprojecting and resizing data acquired on a specified time period. All processing parameters can be set using a user-friendly GUI. Users can select which layers of the original MODIS HDF files they want to process, which additional quality indicators should be extracted from aggregated MODIS quality assurance layers and, in the case of surface reflectance products, which spectral indexes should be computed from the original reflectance bands. For each output layer, outputs are saved as single-band raster files corresponding to each available acquisition date. Virtual files allowing access to the entire time series as a single file are also created. Command-line execution exploiting a previously saved processing options file is also possible, allowing users to automatically update time series related to a MODIS product whenever a new image is available.
