Variable Selection Using Random Forests

Three steps variable selection procedure based on random forests. Initially developed to handle high dimensional data (for which number of variables largely exceeds number of observations), the package is very versatile and can treat most dimensions of data, for regression and supervised classification problems. First step is dedicated to eliminate irrelevant variables from the dataset. Second step aims to select all variables related to the response for interpretation purpose. Third step refines the selection by eliminating redundancy in the set of variables selected by the second step, for prediction purpose. Genuer, R. Poggi, J.-M. and Tuleau-Malot, C.

Setup and connect to 'OpenTripPlanner'

Setup and connect to 'OpenTripPlanner' (OTP) < http://www.opentripplanner.org/>. OTP is an open source platform for multi-modal and multi-agency journey planning written in 'Java'. The package allows you to manage a local version or connect to remote OTP server to find walking, cycling, driving, or transit routes. This package has been peer-reviewed by rOpenSci (v. 0.2.0.0).

The Free Group

The free group in R; juxtaposition is represented by a plus. Includes inversion, multiplication by a scalar, group-theoretic power operation, and Tietze forms. To cite the package in publications please use Hankin (2022) .

Ecological Drift under the UNTB

Hubbell's Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity.

Multivariate Polynomials

Various utilities to manipulate multivariate polynomials. The package is almost completely superceded by the 'spray' and 'mvp' packages, which are much more efficient.

Electrical Properties of Resistor Networks

Electrical properties of resistor networks using matrix methods.

The Exterior Calculus

Provides functionality for working with tensors, alternating forms, wedge products, Stokes's theorem, and related concepts from the exterior calculus. Uses 'disordR' discipline (Hankin, 2022, ). The canonical reference would be M. Spivak (1965, ISBN:0-8053-9021-9) "Calculus on Manifolds". To cite the package in publications please use Hankin (2022) .

A Suite of Routines for Working with Jordan Algebras

A Jordan algebra is an algebraic object originally designed to study observables in quantum mechanics. Jordan algebras are commutative but non-associative; they satisfy the Jordan identity. The package follows the ideas and notation of K. McCrimmon (2004, ISBN:0-387-95447-3) "A Taste of Jordan Algebras". To cite the package in publications, please use Hankin (2023) .

The Weyl Algebra

A suite of routines for Weyl algebras. Notation follows Coutinho (1995, ISBN 0-521-55119-6, "A Primer of Algebraic D-Modules"). Uses 'disordR' discipline (Hankin 2022 ). To cite the package in publications, use Hankin 2022 .

Antiassociative Algebra

Methods to deal with the free antiassociative algebra over the reals with an arbitrary number of indeterminates. Antiassociativity means that (xy)z = -x(yz). Antiassociative algebras are nilpotent with nilindex four (Remm, 2022, ) and this drives the design and philosophy of the package. Methods are defined to create and manipulate arbitrary elements of the antiassociative algebra, and to extract and replace coefficients. A vignette is provided.
