This package contains a collection of functions for common data extraction and reshaping operations, string manipulation, and functions for table and plot generation for R Markdown documents.

Provides an example set of RStudio addins -- R functions that can be bound to keyboard shortcuts, and called through different UI gestures.

Manage the R packages your project depends on in an isolated, portable, and reproducible way.

High level functions for parallel programming with 'Rcpp'. For example, the 'parallelFor()' function can be used to convert the work of a standard serial "for" loop into a parallel one and the 'parallelReduce()' function can be used for accumulating aggregate or other values.

Provides fast and efficient routines for common rolling / windowed operations. Routines for the efficient computation of windowed mean, median, sum, product, minimum, maximum, standard deviation and variance are provided.

Interface to 'Python' modules, classes, and functions. When calling into 'Python', R data types are automatically converted to their equivalent 'Python' types. When values are returned from 'Python' to R they are converted back to R types. Compatible with all versions of 'Python' >= 2.7.

Access the RStudio API (if available) and provide informative error messages when it's not.

Tools for the reading and tokenization of R code. The 'sourcetools' package provides both an R and C++ interface for the tokenization of R code, and helpers for interacting with the tokenized representation of R code.

Provides an easy-to-use wrapper to Rprof() and summaryRprof() in the profiling of both function calls and whole blocks of code.

Use 'renv' to create and manage project-local R dependencies.

Write blog posts and web pages in R Markdown. This package supports the static site generator 'Hugo' (<https://gohugo.io>) best, and it also supports 'Jekyll' (<http://jekyllrb.com>) and 'Hexo' (<https://hexo.io>).

Output formats and utilities for authoring books and technical documents with R Markdown.

Interface to the Google Cloud Machine Learning Platform <https://cloud.google.com/ml-engine>, which provides cloud tools for training machine learning models.

Create, edit, and remove 'cron' jobs on your unix-alike system. The package provides a set of easy-to-use wrappers to 'crontab'. It also provides an RStudio add-in to easily launch and schedule your scripts.

Offers faster manipulation of dendrogram objects in R. A dendrogram object in R is a list structure with attributes in its nodes and leaves. Working with dendrogram objects often require a function to recursively go through all (or most) element in the list object. Naturally, such function are rather slow in R, but can become much faster thanks to 'Rcpp'.

A collection of miscellaneous basic statistic functions and convenience wrappers for efficiently describing data. The author's intention was to create a toolbox, which facilitates the (notoriously time consuming) first descriptive tasks in data analysis, consisting of calculating descriptive statistics, drawing graphical summaries and reporting the results. The package contains furthermore functions to produce documents using MS Word (or PowerPoint) and functions to import data from Excel. Many of the included functions can be found scattered in other packages and other sources written partly by Titans of R. The reason for collecting them here, was primarily to have them consolidated in ONE instead of dozens of packages (which themselves might depend on other packages which are not needed at all), and to provide a common and consistent interface as far as function and arguments naming, NA handling, recycling rules etc. are concerned. Google style guides were used as naming rules (in absence of convincing alternatives). The 'camel style' was consequently applied to functions borrowed from contributed R packages as well.

COMPASS is a statistical framework that enables unbiased analysis of antigen-specific T-cell subsets. COMPASS uses a Bayesian hierarchical framework to model all observed cell-subsets and select the most likely to be antigen-specific while regularizing the small cell counts that often arise in multi-parameter space. The model provides a posterior probability of specificity for each cell subset and each sample, which can be used to profile a subject's immune response to external stimuli such as infection or vaccination.

The 'Rcpp' package provides R functions as well as C++ classes which offer a seamless integration of R and C++. Many R data types and objects can be mapped back and forth to C++ equivalents which facilitates both writing of new code as well as easier integration of third-party libraries. Documentation about 'Rcpp' is provided by several vignettes included in this package, via the 'Rcpp Gallery' site at <http://gallery.rcpp.org>, the paper by Eddelbuettel and Francois (2011, <doi:10.18637/jss.v040.i08>), the book by Eddelbuettel (2013, <doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-6868-4>) and the paper by Eddelbuettel and Balamuta (2018, <doi:10.1080/00031305.2017.1375990>); see 'citation("Rcpp")' for details.

Rcpp11 includes a header only C++11 library that facilitates integration between R and modern C++.

A friendly interface for the construction of regular expressions.

Convert R Markdown documents into a variety of formats.

A programmatic interface to various 'SNP' 'datasets' on the web: 'OpenSNP' (<https://opensnp.org>), and 'NBCIs' 'dbSNP' database (<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP>). Functions are included for searching for 'NCBI'. For 'OpenSNP', functions are included for getting 'SNPs', and data for 'genotypes', 'phenotypes', annotations, and bulk downloads of data by user.

R interface to Apache Spark, a fast and general engine for big data processing, see <http://spark.apache.org>. This package supports connecting to local and remote Apache Spark clusters, provides a 'dplyr' compatible back-end, and provides an interface to Spark's built-in machine learning algorithms.

Interface to 'TensorFlow' Datasets, a high-level library for building complex input pipelines from simple, re-usable pieces. See <https://www.tensorflow.org/programmers_guide/datasets> for additional details.

Interface to 'TensorFlow' Estimators <https://www.tensorflow.org/programmers_guide/estimators>, a high-level API that provides implementations of many different model types including linear models and deep neural networks.

Low-level socket-based interface to calling the Spark API via the RBackend server included in Spark.

A set of functions to run code 'with' safely and temporarily modified global state. Many of these functions were originally a part of the 'devtools' package, this provides a simple package with limited dependencies to provide access to these functions.
