Interface to the 'Open Tree of Life' API

An interface to the 'Open Tree of Life' API to retrieve phylogenetic trees, information about studies used to assemble the synthetic tree, and utilities to match taxonomic names to 'Open Tree identifiers'. The 'Open Tree of Life' aims at assembling a comprehensive phylogenetic tree for all named species.

Working with Dynamic Models for Agriculture and Environment

R package accompanying the book Working with dynamic models for agriculture and environment, by Daniel Wallach (INRA), David Makowski (INRA), James W. Jones (U.of Florida), Francois Brun (ACTA). 3rd edition 2018-09-27.

Blind Source Separation Methods Based on Joint Diagonalization and Some BSS Performance Criteria

Cardoso's JADE algorithm as well as his functions for joint diagonalization are ported to R. Also several other blind source separation (BSS) methods, like AMUSE and SOBI, and some criteria for performance evaluation of BSS algorithms, are given. The package is described in Miettinen, Nordhausen and Taskinen (2017) .

Keyword Assisted Topic Models

Fits keyword assisted topic models (keyATM) using collapsed Gibbs samplers. The keyATM combines the latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) models with a small number of keywords selected by researchers in order to improve the interpretability and topic classification of the LDA. The keyATM can also incorporate covariates and directly model time trends. The keyATM is proposed in Eshima, Imai, and Sasaki (2024) .

Simple but Efficient Rowwise Jobs

Creating efficiently new column(s) in a data frame (including tibble) by applying a function one row at a time.

Airborne LiDAR Filtering Method Based on Cloth Simulation

Cloth Simulation Filter (CSF) is an airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) ground points filtering algorithm which is based on cloth simulation. It tries to simulate the interactions between the cloth nodes and the corresponding LiDAR points, the locations of the cloth nodes can be determined to generate an approximation of the ground surface < https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/8/6/501/htm>.

Virtual Machines for R

Manage, provision and use Virtual Machines pre-configured for R. Develop, test and build package in a clean environment. 'Vagrant' tool and a provider (such as 'Virtualbox') have to be installed.

Exploring the Phylogenetic Signal in Continuous Traits

A collection of tools to explore the phylogenetic signal in univariate and multivariate data. The package provides functions to plot traits data against a phylogenetic tree, different measures and tests for the phylogenetic signal, methods to describe where the signal is located and a phylogenetic clustering method.

Mini Charts for Interactive Maps

Add and modify small charts on an interactive map created with package 'leaflet'. These charts can be used to represent at same time multiple variables on a single map.

Sound Analysis and Synthesis

Functions for analysing, manipulating, displaying, editing and synthesizing time waves (particularly sound). This package processes time analysis (oscillograms and envelopes), spectral content, resonance quality factor, entropy, cross correlation and autocorrelation, zero-crossing, dominant frequency, analytic signal, frequency coherence, 2D and 3D spectrograms and many other analyses. See Sueur et al. (2008) and Sueur (2018) .
