The gtools R package provides functions to assist in R
programming, including:
- assist in developing, updating, and maintaining R and R packages
(
ask, checkRVersion,
getDependencies, keywords,
scat),
- calculate the logit and inverse logit transformations
(
logit, inv.logit),
- test if a value is missing, empty or contains only NA and NULL
values (
invalid),
- manipulate R’s .Last function (
addLast),
- define macros (
defmacro),
- detect odd and even integers (
odd,
even),
- convert strings containing non-ASCII characters (like single quotes)
to plain ASCII (
ASCIIfy),
- perform a binary search (
binsearch),
- sort strings containing both numeric and character components
(
mixedsort),
- create a factor variable from the quantiles of a continuous variable
(
quantcut),
- enumerate permutations and combinations (
combinations,
permutation),
- calculate and convert between fold-change and log-ratio
(
foldchange, logratio2foldchange,
foldchange2logratio),
- calculate probabilities and generate random numbers from Dirichlet
distributions (
rdirichlet, ddirichlet),
- apply a function over adjacent subsets of a vector
(
running),
- modify the TCP_NODELAY (
de-Nagle) flag for socket
objects,
- efficient
rbind of data frames, even if the column
names dont match (smartbind`),
- generate significance stars from p-values
(
stars.pval),
- convert characters to/from ASCII codes (
asc,
chr),
- convert character vector to ASCII representation
(
ASCIIfy).
- apply title capitalization rules to a character vector
(
capwords)
