Trends and Indices for Monitoring Data

The TRIM model is widely used for estimating growth and decline of animal populations based on (possibly sparsely available) count data. The current package is a reimplementation of the original TRIM software developed at Statistics Netherlands by Jeroen Pannekoek. See < https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb/society/nature-and-environment/indices-and-trends%2d%2dtrim%2d%2d> for more information about TRIM.

Get the Same, Personal, Free 'TCP' Port over and over

An R implementation of the cross-platform, language-independent "port4me" algorithm (< https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/port4me>), which (1) finds a free Transmission Control Protocol ('TCP') port in [1024,65535] that the user can open, (2) is designed to work in multi-user environments, (3), gives different users, different ports, (4) gives the user the same port over time with high probability, (5) gives different ports for different software tools, and (6) requires no configuration.

RDF Library Bindings in R

Provides methods to parse, query and serialize information stored in the Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF is described at < https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/>. This package supports RDF by implementing an R interface to the Redland RDF C library, described at < https://librdf.org/docs/api/index.html>. In brief, RDF provides a structured graph consisting of Statements composed of Subject, Predicate, and Object Nodes.

System Native Font Finding

Provides system native access to the font catalogue. As font handling varies between systems it is difficult to correctly locate installed fonts across different operating systems. The 'systemfonts' package provides bindings to the native libraries on Windows, macOS and Linux for finding font files that can then be used further by e.g. graphic devices. The main use is intended to be from compiled code but 'systemfonts' also provides access from R.

Perform Power Analysis for the RI-CLPM and STARTS Model

Perform user-friendly power analyses for the random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) and the bivariate stable trait autoregressive trait state (STARTS) model. The strategy as proposed by Mulder (2023) is implemented. Extensions include the use of parameter constraints over time, bounded estimation, generation of data with skewness and kurtosis, and the option to setup the power analysis for Mplus.

Font Metrics and Font Management Utilities for R Graphics

Compute text metrics (width, ascent, descent) using 'Cairo' and 'FreeType', independently of the active graphic device. Font lookup is delegated to 'systemfonts'. Additional utilities let users register 'Google Fonts' or bundled 'Liberation' fonts, check font availability, and assemble 'htmlDependency' objects so that fonts are correctly embedded in 'Shiny' applications, 'R Markdown' documents, and 'htmlwidgets' outputs such as 'ggiraph'.

R Inputs/Outputs for Tractography

An input-output interface for reading in and writing out common VTK formats that store tractography data. This data comes in the form of 3D polygons with possibly attributes at each point. These are obtained via tracking algorithms from diffusion MRI and are a non-invasive way of studying brain structural connectivity.

Open Source OCR Engine

Bindings to 'tesseract': 'tesseract' (< https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract>) is a powerful optical character recognition (OCR) engine that supports over 100 languages. The engine is highly configurable in order to tune the detection algorithms and obtain the best possible results.

Split, Combine and Compress PDF Files

Bindings to 'qpdf': 'qpdf' (< https://qpdf.sourceforge.io/>) is a an open-source PDF rendering library that allows to conduct content-preserving transformations of PDF files such as split, combine, and compress PDF files.

C++ Interface to PostgreSQL

Fully DBI-compliant C++-backed interface to PostgreSQL < https://www.postgresql.org/>, an open-source relational database.
