Package statsExpressions updated to version 2.2.0 with previous version 2.1.2 dated 2026-10-09

Title: Tidy Dataframes and Expressions with Statistical Details
Description: Utilities for producing dataframes with rich details for the most common types of statistical approaches and tests: parametric, nonparametric, robust, and Bayesian t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analyses, contingency table analyses, and meta-analyses. The functions are pipe-friendly and provide a consistent syntax to work with tidy data. These dataframes additionally contain expressions with statistical details, and can be used in graphing packages. This package also forms the statistical processing backend for 'ggstatsplot'.

Package rsvd updated to version 1.0.6 with previous version 1.0.5 dated 2021-04-16

Title: Randomized Singular Value Decomposition
Description: Low-rank matrix decompositions are fundamental tools and widely used for data analysis, dimension reduction, and data compression. Classically, highly accurate deterministic matrix algorithms are used for this task. However, the emergence of large-scale data has severely challenged our computational ability to analyze big data. The concept of randomness has been demonstrated as an effective strategy to quickly produce approximate answers to familiar problems such as the singular value decomposition (SVD). The rsvd package provides several randomized matrix algorithms such as the randomized singular value decomposition (rsvd), randomized principal component analysis (rpca), randomized robust principal component analysis (rrpca), randomized interpolative decomposition (rid), and the randomized CUR decomposition (rcur). In addition several plot functions are provided.

Package RcppArmadillo updated to version 15.6.2-1 with previous version 15.6.0-1 dated 2026-09-08

Title: 'Rcpp' Integration for the 'Armadillo' Templated Linear Algebra Library
Description: 'Armadillo' is a templated C++ linear algebra library aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. It provides high-level syntax and functionality deliberately similar to Matlab. It is useful for algorithm development directly in C++, or quick conversion of research code into production environments. It provides efficient classes for vectors, matrices and cubes where dense and sparse matrices are supported. Integer, floating point and complex numbers are supported. A sophisticated expression evaluator (based on template meta-programming) automatically combines several operations to increase speed and efficiency. Dynamic evaluation automatically chooses optimal code paths based on detected matrix structures. Matrix decompositions are provided through integration with LAPACK, or one of its high performance drop-in replacements (such as 'MKL' or 'OpenBLAS'). It can automatically use 'OpenMP' multi-threading (parallelisation) to speed up computationally expensive operations [...truncated...]

Package bifrost updated to version 0.2.2 with previous version 0.2.0 dated 2026-09-27

Title: Branch-Level Inference Framework for Recognizing Optimal Shifts in Traits
Description: Methods for detecting, visualizing, and evaluating cladogenic shifts in multivariate trait data on phylogenies. Implements penalized-likelihood multivariate generalized least squares models and a greedy step-wise shift search for high-dimensional trait datasets and large trees via searchOptimalConfiguration(). Provides tools for inspecting search trajectories, summarizing branch and lineage rates, analyzing shift timing and magnitudes, estimating post-hoc regime covariance and integration, and running simulation-based calibration and tuning. The search follows approaches developed in Smith et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/nph.19099> and Berv et al. (2024) <doi:10.1126/sciadv.adp0114>. Methods build on multivariate generalized least squares approaches described in Clavel et al. (2019) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syy045> and implemented in the mvgls() function from the 'mvMORPH' package. Documentation and worked examples are available at <https://jakeberv.com/bifrost/>.

Package command updated to version 0.3.0 with previous version 0.2.0 dated 2026-07-22

Title: Process Command Line Arguments
Description: Process command line arguments. Processing includes checking, naming, and coercing to numeric, date, or logical. By capturing assumptions about inputs and outputs, the 'command' package can provide scripts with well defined interfaces, leading to safer, more modular data analysis pipelines.

Package ascent updated to version 0.5.0 with previous version 0.1.1 dated 2026-07-30

Title: Multi-Layer Decomposition of Functional Community Restructuring
Description: Implements the 'ASC-CFD' (Assemblage Shift Characterization - Community Functional Dynamics) framework for decomposing functional community restructuring into positional (centroid displacement), dispersive (functional dispersion), and boundary (convex hull volume) components. Tests each component against two null models: a sampling null model (individuals or replicates reassigned between communities) and a stratified trait-permutation null model, with a single global test when many communities are compared. Functional entities (species with similar traits) help detect replacement among similar species, and species-level leverage identifies the taxa driving functional shifts. Supports both temporal (paired) and spatial (pairwise) comparisons.
