Interface Between R and the OpenStreetMap-Based Routing Service OSRM

An interface between R and the 'OSRM' API. 'OSRM' is a routing service based on 'OpenStreetMap' data. See < http://project-osrm.org/> for more information. This package enables the computation of routes, trips, isochrones and travel distances matrices (travel time and kilometric distance).

Linear, Quadratic, and Rational Optimization

Solver for linear, quadratic, and rational programs with linear, quadratic, and rational constraints. A unified interface to different R packages is provided. Optimization problems are transformed into equivalent formulations and solved by the respective package. For example, quadratic programming problems with linear, quadratic and rational constraints can be solved by augmented Lagrangian minimization using package 'alabama', or by sequential quadratic programming using solver 'slsqp'. Alternatively, they can be reformulated as optimization problems with second order cone constraints and solved with package 'cccp'.

Main Effects and Interactions in Mixed and Incomplete Data

Generalized low-rank models for mixed and incomplete data frames. The main function may be used for dimensionality reduction of imputation of numeric, binary and count data (simultaneously). Main effects such as column means, group effects, or effects of row-column side information (e.g. user/item attributes in recommendation system) may also be modelled in addition to the low-rank model.

Clear and Condense Argument Check for User-Defined Functions

A concise check of the format of one or multiple input arguments (data type, length or value) is provided. Since multiple input arguments can be tested simultaneously, a lengthly list of checks at the beginning of your function can be avoided, hereby enhancing the readability and maintainability of your code.

Translation of Base R-Like Functions for 'data.table' Objects

Some heavily used base R functions are reconstructed to also be compliant to data.table objects. Also, some general helper functions that could be of interest for working with data.table objects are included.

Optimum Contribution Selection and Population Genetics

A framework for the optimization of breeding programs via optimum contribution selection and mate allocation. An easy to use set of function for computation of optimum contributions of selection candidates, and of the population genetic parameters to be optimized. These parameters can be estimated using pedigree or genotype information, and include kinships, kinships at native haplotype segments, and breed composition of crossbred individuals. They are suitable for managing genetic diversity, removing introgressed genetic material, and accelerating genetic gain. Additionally, functions are provided for computing genetic contributions from ancestors, inbreeding coefficients, the native effective size, the native genome equivalent, pedigree completeness, and for preparing and plotting pedigrees. The methods are described in:\n Wellmann, R., and Pfeiffer, I. (2009) .\n Wellmann, R., and Bennewitz, J. (2011) .\n Wellmann, R., Hartwig, S., Bennewitz, J. (2012) .\n de Cara, M. A.

API Wrapper Around 'Postcodes.io'

Free UK geocoding using data from Office for National Statistics. It is using several functions to get information about post codes, outward codes, reverse geocoding, nearest post codes/outward codes, validation, or randomly generate a post code. API wrapper around < https://postcodes.io>.

Get Spanish Origin-Destination Data

Gain seamless access to origin-destination (OD) data from the Spanish Ministry of Transport, hosted at < https://www.transportes.gob.es/ministerio/proyectos-singulares/estudios-de-movilidad-con-big-data/opendata-movilidad>. This package simplifies the management of these large datasets by providing tools to download zone boundaries, handle associated origin-destination data, and process it efficiently with the 'duckdb' database interface. Local caching minimizes repeated downloads, streamlining workflows for researchers and analysts. Extensive documentation is available at < https://ropenspain.github.io/spanishoddata/index.html>, offering guides on creating static and dynamic mobility flow visualizations and transforming large datasets into analysis-ready formats.
