Various R packages:

An extensive list of packages from the group is given at: here.

 

Large Datasets:

spam: a collection of functions based in R/Fortran for sparse matrix algebra.

spam stands for sparse matrix algebra. (Catchy name, hard to google...)

A stable version of the R package spam is posted on CRAN.
The current development version of the R package spam is available at https://git.math.uzh.ch/reinhard.furrer/spam.

 

spam64: is the 64-Bit Extension of the R Package spam.

The package spam64 provides the Fortran code of the R package spam with 64-bit integers. Loading this package enables the sparse matrix class "spam" to handle huge sparse matrices with more than 2^31-1 non-zero elements.

 

KriSp: a collection of functions based in R/Fortran for interpolation of large datasets using covariance tapering.
Stable version of the R package: KriSp_0.4.tar.gz.

fields contains a sparse matrix module based on spam and extends the capacities of KriSp. Therefore, KriSp is no longer supported.

Manual, sample source code, help files and history is found on the KriSp page.

Robust Variogram Estimation:

(ADDED Jan. 2014) The package robustbase has a Qn implementation with an implementation in C that is more advanced than the one use here. Both are based on the same Fortran routines. Additionally, there is the package georob. I have not tested or tried it. You may still read on...

Functions for robust estimation of the variogram based on the highly robust estimator of scale Qn.
Download the R package: qn_1.1.tar.gz currently Namespace lacking, access a primitive manual (with references).

Old bundle of routines for robust estimation of the variogram and generalized least squares fitting.
The functions were essentially written in 1998. Access via the follwing links:
Robust Spatial Data Analysis,     Spatial Interpolation Contest 97 (SIC97)

Yet another slide package: pfuef. I aimed for a stylefile which:

  • is based entirely on pdflatex and does not require any post processing
  • handles different types of backgrounds but produces easily a printable version.
By downloading, you accept the GNU General Public License.
Manual: pfuefmanual.pdf
Examples: beautiful background   print version   Example 1   Example 2
Basic help and history: instructions.txt  history.txt
Download the entire bundle:  pfuef-v2.3.tar
Lite version for UZH presentations:  pfuef-v2.4.uzh.tar
A minimalistic example:
\documentclass[uzh]{pfuef}
\begin{document}
\slide{Default Slide with option uzh}
...
Older distributed versions: pfuef-v1.0.tar, pfuef-v0.2.tar

Please write any comments, remarks or suggestions to reinhard.furrer@math.uzh.ch.
