Airborne LiDAR Data Manipulation and Visualization for Forestry Applications

Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) interface for data manipulation and visualization. Read/write 'las' and 'laz' files, computation of metrics in area based approach, point filtering, artificial point reduction, classification from geographic data, normalization, individual tree segmentation and other manipulations.

Biodiversity Assessment Tools

Includes algorithms to assess alpha and beta diversity in all their dimensions (taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional). It allows performing a number of analyses based on species identities/abundances, phylogenetic/functional distances, trees, convex-hulls or kernel density n-dimensional hypervolumes depicting species relationships. Cardoso et al. (2015) .

Population Fisher Information Matrix

Evaluate or optimize designs for nonlinear mixed effects models using the Fisher Information matrix. Methods used in the package refer to Mentré F, Mallet A, Baccar D (1997) , Retout S, Comets E, Samson A, Mentré F (2007) , Bazzoli C, Retout S, Mentré F (2009) , Le Nagard H, Chao L, Tenaillon O (2011) , Combes FP, Retout S, Frey N, Mentré F (2013) and Seurat J, Tang Y, Mentré F, Nguyen TT (2021) .

Interface for Masked Autoregressive Flows

Interfaces the Python library 'zuko' implementing Masked Autoregressive Flows. See Rozet, Divo and Schnake (2023) and Papamakarios, Pavlakou and Murray (2017) .

Handling Missing Values with Multivariate Data Analysis

Imputation of incomplete continuous or categorical datasets; Missing values are imputed with a principal component analysis (PCA), a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) model or a multiple factor analysis (MFA) model; Perform multiple imputation with and in PCA or MCA.

GPL Palettes Copied from 'Gimp' and 'Inkscape'

A set of palettes imported from 'Gimp' distributed under GPL3 (< https://www.gimp.org/about/COPYING>), and 'Inkscape' distributed under GPL2 (< https://inkscape.org/about/license/>).

Perform Factorial Analysis from 'FactoMineR' with a Shiny Application

Perform factorial analysis with a menu and draw graphs interactively thanks to 'FactoMineR' and a Shiny application.

Tools for Eurostat Open Data

Tools to download data from the Eurostat database < https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat> together with search and manipulation utilities.

Coalescent-Based Simulation of Ecological Communities

Coalescent-Based Simulation of Ecological Communities as proposed by Munoz et al. (2018) . The package includes a tool for estimating parameters of community assembly by using Approximate Bayesian Computation.

A C++11 Interface for R's C Interface

Provides a header only, C++11 interface to R's C interface. Compared to other approaches 'cpp11' strives to be safe against long jumps from the C API as well as C++ exceptions, conform to normal R function semantics and supports interaction with 'ALTREP' vectors.
