This R package provides helper functions I found useful when developing R code - perhaps you will too! The released package version can be installed via:
install.packages("oeli")The following shows some demos. Click the headings for references on all available helpers in each category.
The package has density and sampling functions for some distributions not included in base R, like the Dirichlet:
ddirichlet(x = c(0.2, 0.3, 0.5), concentration = 1:3)
#> [1] 4.5
rdirichlet(concentration = 1:3)
#> [1] 0.2832878 0.5086812 0.2080309For faster computation, Rcpp implementations are also available:
microbenchmark::microbenchmark(
"R" = rmvnorm(mean = c(0, 0, 0), Sigma = diag(3)),
"Rcpp" = rmvnorm_cpp(mean = c(0, 0, 0), Sigma = diag(3))
)

How to print a matrix without filling up the entire
console?
x <- matrix(rnorm(10000), ncol = 100, nrow = 100)
print_matrix(x, rowdots = 4, coldots = 4, digits = 2, label = "what a big matrix")
#> what a big matrix : 100 x 100 matrix of doubles
#> [,1] [,2] [,3] ... [,100]
#> [1,] 0.79 -0.43 -0.87 ... -2.12
#> [2,] -1.11 1.98 -2.42 ... 1.65
#> [3,] 1.66 1.76 0.25 ... -2.97
#> ... ... ... ... ... ...
#> [100,] 0.44 0.28 0.53 ... -1.75And what about a data.frame?
x <- data.frame(x = rnorm(1000), y = LETTERS[1:10])
print_data.frame(x, rows = 7, digits = 0)
#> x y
#> 1 0 A
#> 2 -1 B
#> 3 0 C
#> 4 0 D
#> <993 rows hidden>
#>
#> 998 0 H
#> 999 0 I
#> 1000 0 JLet’s simulate correlated regressor values from different marginal distributions:
labels <- c("P", "C", "N1", "N2", "U")
n <- 100
marginals <- list(
"P" = list(type = "poisson", lambda = 2),
"C" = list(type = "categorical", p = c(0.3, 0.2, 0.5)),
"N1" = list(type = "normal", mean = -1, sd = 2),
"U" = list(type = "uniform", min = -2, max = -1)
)
correlation <- matrix(
c(1, -0.3, -0.1, 0, 0.5,
-0.3, 1, 0.3, -0.5, -0.7,
-0.1, 0.3, 1, -0.3, -0.3,
0, -0.5, -0.3, 1, 0.1,
0.5, -0.7, -0.3, 0.1, 1),
nrow = 5, ncol = 5
)
data <- correlated_regressors(
labels = labels, n = n, marginals = marginals, correlation = correlation
)

data.frame based on the values in a specified column:
df <- data.frame("label" = c("A", "B"), "number" = 1:10)
group_data.frame(df = df, by = "label")
#> $A
#> label number
#> 1 A 1

#> 5 A 5
#> 7 A 7
#> 9 A 9

#> label number
#> 2 B 2
#> 4 B 4
#> 6 B 6
#> 8 B 8
#> 10 B 10Is my matrix a proper transition probability matrix?
