collapse - Advanced and Fast Data Transformation

A C/C++ based package for advanced data transformation and statistical computing in R that is extremely fast, class-agnostic, robust and programmer friendly. Core functionality includes a rich set of S3 generic grouped and weighted statistical functions for vectors, matrices and data frames, which provide efficient low-level vectorizations, OpenMP multithreading, and skip missing values by default. These are integrated with fast grouping and ordering algorithms (also callable from C), and efficient data manipulation functions. The package also provides a flexible and rigorous approach to time series and panel data in R. It further includes fast functions for common statistical procedures, detailed (grouped, weighted) summary statistics, powerful tools to work with nested data, fast data object conversions, functions for memory efficient R programming, and helpers to effectively deal with variable labels, attributes, and missing data. It is well integrated with base R classes, 'dplyr'/'tibble', 'data.table', 'sf', 'units', 'plm' (panel-series and data frames), and 'xts'/'zoo'.

dggridR - Discrete Global Grids

Spatial analyses involving binning require that every bin have the same area, but this is impossible using a rectangular grid laid over the Earth or over any projection of the Earth. Discrete global grids use hexagons, triangles, and diamonds to overcome this issue, overlaying the Earth with equally-sized bins. This package provides utilities for working with discrete global grids, along with utilities to aid in plotting such data.

fastverse - A Suite of High-Performance Packages for Statistics and Data Manipulation

Easy installation, loading and management, of high-performance packages for statistical computing and data manipulation in R. The core 'fastverse' consists of 4 packages: 'data.table', 'collapse', 'kit' and 'magrittr', that jointly only depend on 'Rcpp'. The 'fastverse' can be freely and permanently extended with additional packages, both globally or for individual projects. Separate package verses can also be created. Fast packages for many common tasks such as time series, dates and times, strings, spatial data, statistics, data serialization, larger-than-memory processing, and compilation of R code are listed in the README file: <https://github.com/fastverse/fastverse#suggested-extensions>.

dfms - Dynamic Factor Models

Efficient estimation of Dynamic Factor Models using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm or Two-Step (2S) estimation, supporting datasets with missing data. The estimation options follow advances in the econometric literature: either running the Kalman Filter and Smoother once with initial values from PCA - 2S estimation as in Doz, Giannone and Reichlin (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2011.02.012> - or via iterated Kalman Filtering and Smoothing until EM convergence - following Doz, Giannone and Reichlin (2012) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00225> - or using the adapted EM algorithm of Banbura and Modugno (2014) <doi:10.1002/jae.2306>, allowing arbitrary patterns of missing data. The implementation makes heavy use of the 'Armadillo' 'C++' library and the 'collapse' package, providing for particularly speedy estimation. A comprehensive set of methods supports interpretation and visualization of the model as well as forecasting. Information criteria to choose the number of factors are also provided - following Bai and Ng (2002) <doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00273>.

osmclass - Classify Open Street Map Features

Classify Open Street Map (OSM) features into meaningful functional or analytical categories. Designed for OSM PBF files, e.g. from <https://download.geofabrik.de/> imported as spatial data frames. A classification consists of a list of categories that are related to certain OSM tags and values. Given a layer from an OSM PBF file and a classification, the main osm_classify() function returns a classification data table giving, for each feature, the primary and alternative categories (if there is overlap) assigned, and the tag(s) and value(s) matched on. The package also contains a classification of OSM features by economic function/significance, following Krantz (2023) <https://www.ssrn.com/abstract=4537867>.

africamonitor - Africa Macroeconomic Monitor Database API

An R API providing access to a relational database with macroeconomic data for Africa. The database contains >700 macroeconomic time series from mostly international sources, grouped into 50 macroeconomic and development-related topics. Series are carefully selected on the basis of data coverage for Africa, frequency, and relevance to the macro-development context. The project is part of the 'Kiel Institute Africa Initiative' <https://www.ifw-kiel.de/institute/initiatives/kiel-institute-africa-initiative/>, which, amongst other things, aims to develop a parsimonious database with highly relevant indicators to monitor macroeconomic developments in Africa, accessible through a fast API and a web-based platform at <https://africamonitor.ifw-kiel.de/>. The database is maintained at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy <https://www.ifw-kiel.de/>.
