Tidy Population Genetics

We provide a tidy grammar of population genetics, facilitating the manipulation and analysis of data on biallelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). 'tidypopgen' scales to very large genetic datasets by storing genotypes on disk, and performing operations on them in chunks, without ever loading all data in memory. The full functionalities of the package are described in Carter et al. (2025) .

R Bindings for Calling the 'Earth Engine' API

Earth Engine < https://earthengine.google.com/> client library for R. All of the 'Earth Engine' API classes, modules, and functions are made available. Additional functions implemented include importing (exporting) of Earth Engine spatial objects, extraction of time series, interactive map display, assets management interface, and metadata display. See < https://r-spatial.github.io/rgee/> for further details.

Improved Access for Blind Users

Blind users do not have access to the graphical output from R without printing the content of graphics windows to an embosser of some kind. This is not as immediate as is required for efficient access to statistical output. The functions here are created so that blind people can make even better use of R. This includes the text descriptions of graphs, convenience functions to replace the functionality offered in many GUI front ends, and experimental functionality for optimising graphical content to prepare it for embossing as tactile images.

Complete Environment for Bayesian Inference

Provides a complete environment for Bayesian inference using a variety of different samplers (see ?LaplacesDemon for an overview).

Estimated Marginal Means, aka Least-Squares Means

Obtain estimated marginal means (EMMs) for many linear, generalized linear, and mixed models. Compute contrasts or linear functions of EMMs, trends, and comparisons of slopes. Plots and other displays. Least-squares means are discussed, and the term "estimated marginal means" is suggested, in Searle, Speed, and Milliken (1980) Population marginal means in the linear model: An alternative to least squares means, The American Statistician 34(4), 216-221 .

Linear Mixed-Effects Models using 'Eigen' and S4

Fit linear and generalized linear mixed-effects models. The models and their components are represented using S4 classes and methods. The core computational algorithms are implemented using the 'Eigen' C++ library for numerical linear algebra and 'RcppEigen' "glue".

Analysis of Factorial Experiments

Convenience functions for analyzing factorial experiments using ANOVA or mixed models. aov_ez(), aov_car(), and aov_4() allow specification of between, within (i.e., repeated-measures), or mixed (i.e., split-plot) ANOVAs for data in long format (i.e., one observation per row), automatically aggregating multiple observations per individual and cell of the design. mixed() fits mixed models using lme4::lmer() and computes p-values for all fixed effects using either Kenward-Roger or Satterthwaite approximation for degrees of freedom (LMM only), parametric bootstrap (LMMs and GLMMs), or likelihood ratio tests (LMMs and GLMMs). afex_plot() provides a high-level interface for interaction or one-way plots using ggplot2, combining raw data and model estimates. afex uses type 3 sums of squares as default (imitating commercial statistical software).

Various Plotting Functions

Lots of plots, various labeling, axis and color scaling functions. The author/maintainer died in September 2023.

Response Time Distributions

Provides response time distributions (density/PDF, distribution function/CDF, quantile function, and random generation): (a) Ratcliff diffusion model (Ratcliff & McKoon, 2008, ) based on C code by Andreas and Jochen Voss and (b) linear ballistic accumulator (LBA; Brown & Heathcote, 2008, ) with different distributions underlying the drift rate.

Generalized Linear Models with Clustering

Binomial and Poisson regression for clustered data, fixed and random effects with bootstrapping.
