Data Sets Useful for Modeling Examples

Data sets used for demonstrating or testing model-related packages are contained in this package.

Tensors and Neural Networks with 'GPU' Acceleration

Provides functionality to define and train neural networks similar to 'PyTorch' by Paszke et al (2019) but written entirely in R using the 'libtorch' library. Also supports low-level tensor operations and 'GPU' acceleration.

A Fast Implementation of Random Forests

A fast implementation of Random Forests, particularly suited for high dimensional data. Ensembles of classification, regression, survival and probability prediction trees are supported. Data from genome-wide association studies can be analyzed efficiently. In addition to data frames, datasets of class 'gwaa.data' (R package 'GenABEL') and 'dgCMatrix' (R package 'Matrix') can be directly analyzed.

Read and Write Rectangular Text Data Quickly

The goal of 'vroom' is to read and write data (like 'csv', 'tsv' and 'fwf') quickly. When reading it uses a quick initial indexing step, then reads the values lazily , so only the data you actually use needs to be read. The writer formats the data in parallel and writes to disk asynchronously from formatting.

General Purpose Hierarchical Data Structure

Create tree structures from hierarchical data, and traverse the tree in various orders. Aggregate, cumulate, print, plot, convert to and from data.frame and more. Useful for decision trees, machine learning, finance, conversion from and to JSON, and many other applications.

A Swiss-Army Knife for Data I/O

Streamlined data import and export by making assumptions that the user is probably willing to make: 'import()' and 'export()' determine the data format from the file extension, reasonable defaults are used for data import and export, web-based import is natively supported (including from SSL/HTTPS), compressed files can be read directly, and fast import packages are used where appropriate. An additional convenience function, 'convert()', provides a simple method for converting between file types.

Harrell Miscellaneous

Contains many functions useful for data analysis, high-level graphics, utility operations, functions for computing sample size and power, simulation, importing and annotating datasets, imputing missing values, advanced table making, variable clustering, character string manipulation, conversion of R objects to LaTeX and html code, recoding variables, caching, simplified parallel computing, encrypting and decrypting data using a safe workflow, general moving window statistical estimation, and assistance in interpreting principal component analysis.

Export Tables to LaTeX or HTML

Coerce data to LaTeX and HTML tables.

World Map Data from Natural Earth

Facilitates mapping by making natural earth map data from < https://www.naturalearthdata.com/> more easily available to R users.

Bayesian Latent Gaussian Modelling using INLA and Extensions

Facilitates spatial and general latent Gaussian modeling using integrated nested Laplace approximation via the INLA package (< https://www.r-inla.org>). Additionally, extends the GAM-like model class to more general nonlinear predictor expressions, and implements a log Gaussian Cox process likelihood for modeling univariate and spatial point processes based on ecological survey data. Model components are specified with general inputs and mapping methods to the latent variables, and the predictors are specified via general R expressions, with separate expressions for each observation likelihood model in multi-likelihood models. A prediction method based on fast Monte Carlo sampling allows posterior prediction of general expressions of the latent variables.
