Extensible Classes and Methods for Penalized-Regression-based Integration of Base Learners (EnsemblePenReg)
Extending the base classes and methods of EnsembleBase package for Penalized-Regression-based (Ridge and Lasso) integration of base learners. Default implementation uses cross-validation error to choose the optimal lambda (shrinkage parameter) for the final predictor. The package takes advantage of the file method provided in EnsembleBase package for writing estimation objects to disk in order to circumvent RAM bottleneck. Special save and load methods are provided to allow estimation objects to be saved to permanent files on disk, and to be loaded again into temporary files in a later R session. Users and developers can extend the package by extending the generic methods and classes provided in EnsembleBase package as well as this package.

Extensible Package for Principal-Component-Regression-based Integration of Base Learners (EnsemblePCReg)
This package extends the base classes and methods of EnsembleBase package for Principal-Components-Regression-based (PCR) integration of base learners. Default implementation uses cross-validation error to choose the optimal number of PC components for the final predictor. The package takes advantage of the file method provided in EnsembleBase package for writing estimation objects to disk in order to circumvent RAM bottleneck. Special save and load methods are provided to allow estimation objects to be saved to permanent files on disk, and to be loaded again into temporary files in a later R session. Users and developers can extend the package by extending the generic methods and classes provided in EnsembleBase package as well as this package.

Interactive Data Visualization with D3.js (dashboard)
The dashboard package allows users to create web pages which display interactive data visualizations working in a standard modern browser. It displays them locally using the Rook server. Nor knowledge about web technologies nor Internet connection are required. D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps the dashboard package bring data to life using HTML, SVG and CSS.

Quantile, Composite Quantile Regression and Regularized Versions (cqrReg)
Estimate quantile regression(QR) and composite quantile regression (cqr) and with adaptive lasso penalty using interior point (IP), majorize and minimize(MM), coordinate descent (CD), and alternating direction method of multipliers algorithms(ADMM).

Algebraic statistics in R (algstat)
algstat provides functionality for algebraic statistics in R. Current applications include exact inference in log-linear models for contingency table data, analysis of ranked and partially ranked data, and general purpose tools for multivariate polynomials, building on the mpoly package. To aid in the process, algstat has ports to Macaulay2, Bertini, LattE-integrale and 4ti2.

Interactive Plots for RStudio (manipulate)
Interactive plotting functions for use within RStudio. The manipulate function accepts a plotting expression and a set of controls (e.g. slider, picker, checkbox, or button) which are used to dynamically change values within the expression. When a value is changed using its corresponding control the expression is automatically re-executed and the plot is redrawn.
