pageviews - An API Client for Wikimedia Traffic Data

Pageview data from the 'Wikimedia' sites, such as 'Wikipedia' <https://www.wikipedia.org/>, from entire projects to per-article levels of granularity, through the new RESTful API and data source <https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc>.

primes - Fast Functions for Prime Numbers

Fast functions for dealing with prime numbers, such as testing whether a number is prime and generating a sequence prime numbers. Additional functions include finding prime factors and Ruth-Aaron pairs, finding next and previous prime numbers in the series, finding or estimating the nth prime, estimating the number of primes less than or equal to an arbitrary number, computing primorials, prime k-tuples (e.g., twin primes), finding the greatest common divisor and smallest (least) common multiple, testing whether two numbers are coprime, and computing Euler's totient function. Most functions are vectorized for speed and convenience.

triebeard - 'Radix' Trees in 'Rcpp'

'Radix trees', or 'tries', are key-value data structures optimised for efficient lookups, similar in purpose to hash tables. 'triebeard' provides an implementation of 'radix trees' for use in R programming and in developing packages with 'Rcpp'.

reconstructr - Session Reconstruction and Analysis

Functions to reconstruct sessions from web log or other user trace data and calculate various metrics around them, producing tabular, output that is compatible with 'dplyr' or 'data.table' centered processes.

piton - Parsing Expression Grammars in Rcpp

A wrapper around the 'Parsing Expression Grammar Template Library', a C++11 library for generating Parsing Expression Grammars, that makes it accessible within Rcpp. With this, developers can implement their own grammars and easily expose them in R packages.

webreadr - Tools for Reading Formatted Access Log Files

Read and tidy various common forms of web request log, including the Common and Combined Web Log formats and various Amazon access log types.

urltools - Vectorised Tools for URL Handling and Parsing

A toolkit for all URL-handling needs, including encoding and decoding, parsing, parameter extraction and modification. All functions are designed to be both fast and entirely vectorised.

humaniformat - A Parser for Human Names

Human names are complicated and nonstandard things. Humaniformat, which is based on Anthony Ettinger's 'humanparser' project <https://github.com/chovy/humanparser> provides functions for parsing human names, making a best-guess attempt to distinguish sub-components such as prefixes, suffixes, middle names and salutations.

batman - Convert categorical representations of logicals to actual logicals

Survey systems and other third-party data sources commonly use non- standard representations of logical values when it comes to qualitative data - "Yes", "No" and "N/A", say. batman is a package designed to seamlessly convert these into logicals. It is highly localised, and contains equivalents to boolean values in languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Chinese and Polish.

muckrock - Data on Freedom of Information Act Requests

A data package containing public domain information on requests made by the 'MuckRock' (https://www.muckrock.com/) project under the United States Freedom of Information Act.
