Causal Inference

ciflyr v0.1.1: Provides a framework for specifying flexible linear-time reachability-based algorithms for graphical causal inference. Rule tables are used to encode and customize the ‘reachability’ algorithm for typical causal and probabilistic reasoning tasks, such as finding d-connected nodes or more advanced applications. See Wienöbst, Weichwald and Henckel (2025) for the details.

Computational Methods

hmde v1.2.1: Implements a wrapper for Stan with a built-in hierarchical Bayesian longitudinal model for repeat observation data. Model choice selects the differential equation that is fit to the observations. See O’Brien et al. (2024) for the theory. There are six vignettes, including Constant Growth and hmde for Mathematicians.

ironseed v0.2.0: Implements a procedure for seeding R’s built in random number generators using a variable-length sequence of values. The algorithm accumulates entropy into a 256-bit hash digest or “ironseed” and generates a variable-length sequence of output seeds. See the vignette for an overview.

RBaM v1.0.1: Implements an interface to the BaM (Bayesian Modeling) engine, a Fortran – based executable for Bayesian estimation with a particular focus on uncertainty quantification. See Renard (2017) for technical details and the vignette for examples.

Data

ArgentinAPI v0.1.0: Provides functions to access data from the ArgentinaDatos API and the REST Countries API related to Argentina’s exchange rates, inflation, political figures, holidays, and general country-level indicators. Additionally, the package includes curated datasets related to Argentina, covering topics such as economic indicators, biodiversity, agriculture, human rights, genetic data, and consumer prices. See the vignette.

bcRP v1.0.1: Enables search and access for more than ten thousand BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERÚ Gerencia Central de Estudios Económicos (BCRPDATA) data sets. See README for an example.

ChileDataAPI v0.1.0: Provides functions to access data from the FINDIC API and the REST Countries API, related to Chile’s financial indicators, international country information, and more. Additionally, the package includes curated datasets related to Chile, covering topics such as human rights violations during the Pinochet regime, electoral data, census samples, health surveys, seismic events, territorial codes, and environmental measurements. See the vignette.

galaxias v0.1.0: Provides tools to access the Darwin Core data standard for biodiversity information. For details, see Wieczorek et al. (2012). There are three vignettes, including Quick Start Guide and Standardize an Event Dataset.

getRad v0.2.0: Provides functions to load polar volume and vertical profile data from several sources in Europe and the US for aeroecological research. See the vignette and GitHub page for examples.

MexicoDataAPI v0.1.0: Provides functions to access data from the World Bank API and the REST Countries API, related to Mexico’s economic indicators, population statistics, literacy rates, and international geopolitical information. Additionally, the package includes curated datasets related to Mexico, including air quality monitoring stations, pollution zones, income surveys, postal abbreviations, election studies, forest productivity, and demographic data by state. See the vignette.

Ecology

commecometrics v1.0.0: Provides a framework for modeling relationships between functional traits and environmental variables at the community level, including tools for trait binning, likelihood-based environmental estimation, model evaluation, fossil projection into modern ecometric space, and visualization.
