Interface to the 'USGS' 'BISON' API

Interface to the 'USGS' 'BISON' (< https://bison.usgs.gov/>) API, a 'database' for species occurrence data. Data comes from species in the United States from participating data providers. You can get data via 'taxonomic' and location based queries. A simple function is provided to help visualize data.

Connector to 'CouchDB'

Provides an interface to the 'NoSQL' database 'CouchDB' (< http://couchdb.apache.org>). Methods are provided for managing databases within 'CouchDB', including creating/deleting/updating/transferring, and managing documents within databases. One can connect with a local 'CouchDB' instance, or a remote 'CouchDB' databases such as 'Cloudant'. Documents can be inserted directly from vectors, lists, data.frames, and 'JSON'. Targeted at 'CouchDB' v2 or greater.

Construct Reproducible Analytic Data Sets as R Packages

A framework to help construct R data packages in a reproducible manner. Potentially time consuming processing of raw data sets into analysis ready data sets is done in a reproducible manner and decoupled from the usual 'R CMD build' process so that data sets can be processed into R objects in the data package and the data package can then be shared, built, and installed by others without the need to repeat computationally costly data processing. The package maintains data provenance by turning the data processing scripts into package vignettes, as well as enforcing documentation and version checking of included data objects. Data packages can be version controlled on 'GitHub', and used to share data for manuscripts, collaboration and reproducible research.

Interface to the 'Orcid.org' API

Client for the 'Orcid.org' API (< https://orcid.org/>). Functions included for searching for people, searching by 'DOI', and searching by 'Orcid' 'ID'.

General Purpose R Interface to 'Solr'

Provides a set of functions for querying and parsing data from 'Solr' (< https://solr.apache.org/>) 'endpoints' (local and remote), including search, 'faceting', 'highlighting', 'stats', and 'more like this'. In addition, some functionality is included for creating, deleting, and updating documents in a 'Solr' 'database'.

Calculate Slopes of Roads, Rivers and Trajectories

Calculates the slope (longitudinal gradient or steepness) of linear geographic features such as roads (for more details, see Ariza-López et al. (2019) ) and rivers (for more details, see Cohen et al. (2018) ). It can use local Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data or download DEM data via the 'ceramic' package. The package also provides functions to add elevation data to linestrings and visualize elevation profiles.

Evaluate Clinical Prediction Models by Net Monetary Benefit

Estimates when and where a model-guided treatment strategy may outperform a treat-all or treat-none approach by Monte Carlo simulation and evaluation of the Net Monetary Benefit. Details can be viewed in Parsons et al. (2023) .

Parse Messy Geographic Coordinates

Parse messy geographic coordinates from various character formats to decimal degree numeric values. Parse coordinates into their parts (degree, minutes, seconds); calculate hemisphere from coordinates; pull out individually degrees, minutes, or seconds; add and subtract degrees, minutes, and seconds. C++ code herein originally inspired from code written by Jeffrey D. Bogan, but then completely re-written.

Accesses Weather Data from the Iowa Environment Mesonet

Allows to get weather data from Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) stations (airports) in the whole world thanks to the Iowa Environment Mesonet website.

'Microsoft Academic' API Client

The 'Microsoft Academic Knowledge' API provides programmatic access to scholarly articles in the 'Microsoft Academic Graph' (< https://academic.microsoft.com/>). Includes methods matching all 'Microsoft Academic' API routes, including search, graph search, text similarity, and interpret natural language query string.
