Sparse-Group Lasso via Semismooth Newton Augmented Lagrangian

Implements the sparse-group lasso method of Zhang et al. (2020) . Unlike many widely available methods based on first-order descent, this method uses second-order information to solve the dual optimization problem via a semismooth Newton method.

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 The package is almost completely superceded by the 'spray' and 'mvp' packages, which are much more efficient.

Ecological Drift under the UNTB

Hubbell's Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity.

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) .

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.

Knot Diagrams using Bezier Curves

Makes visually pleasing diagrams of knot projections using optimized Bezier curves.

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) .

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 Multiplicative Multinomial Distribution

Various utilities for the Multiplicative Multinomial distribution.

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 .
