Logo for fasterRaster package for R

Package fasterRaster, available on CRAN for R, is a GIS powerhouse for large-in-memory/large-on-disk rasters. Using GRASS GIS as a backend, fasterRaster emulates nearly all of the functions available in terra with the same name and usually the same arguments. For moderately-sized rasters or smaller, terra will nearly always be faster. But when it’s not, there’s always fasterRaster! Functions exist for:

  • Focal, zonal, multi-layer, distance, cropping, resampling, projecting, buffering, applying PCA, de-noising, merging, sampling, hydrology and topography, and much more!
  • Creating the 19 BIOCLIM rasters, plus an extended set of BIOCLIMs
  • Calculation of landscape fragmentation indices
  • Identification of landscape geomorphons
  • And much more!
Hex sticker for R package enmSdmX

Package enmSdmX, available on CRAN for R, is a fully-featured package for species distribution modeling and ecological niche modeling, with functions for:

  • Bias correction
  • Model tuning
  • Biotic velocity
  • Raster interpolation
  • And more!
Hex sticker for R package statisfactory

Package statisfactory, available on CRAN for R, contains a handful of useful statistical procedures, with functions for:

  • Aligned rank transform (useful for using rank data in ANOVAs)
  • 2-dimensional histograms
  • Histograms with overlapping bins
  • Making all possible formulae from a set of predictors
  • And more!
Hex sticker for R package omnibus

Package omnibus, available on CRAN for R, contains handfuls of handy helper functions!

  • Display the corners of a large data frame or matrix (top left, top right, etc.; corner())
  • Conversion factors for unit conversions (e.g., feet to meters; convertUnits())
  • Find values not in a vector (%notin%)
  • Recursive unlisting of lists (unlistRecursive())
  • Handling equalities with NAs (%<=na%, %>=na%, etc.)
  • Easily add leading zeros or other characters to a string (prefix())
  • And more!
