Calculation of molecular number and brightness from
    fluorescence microscopy image series. The software was published in a
    2016 paper <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx434>. The seminal paper for
    the technique is Digman et al. 2008 <doi:10.1529/biophysj.107.114645>.
    A review of the technique was published in 2017
    <doi:10.1016/j.ymeth.2017.12.001>.

Missing values are ubiquitous in data and need to be explored and
    handled in the initial stages of analysis. 'naniar' provides data 
    structures and functions that facilitate the plotting of missing values and 
    examination of imputations. This allows missing data dependencies to be 
    explored with minimal deviation from the common work patterns of 'ggplot2' 
    and tidy data. The work is fully discussed at Tierney & Cook (2023) 
    <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i07>.

Provides an 'R' interface to the 'nanoarrow' 'C' library and the
  'Apache Arrow' application binary interface. Functions to import and
  export 'ArrowArray', 'ArrowSchema', and 'ArrowArrayStream' 'C' structures
  to and from 'R' objects are provided alongside helpers to facilitate zero-copy
  data transfer among 'R' bindings to libraries implementing the 'Arrow' 'C'
  data interface.

R binding for NNG (Nanomsg Next Gen), a successor to ZeroMQ.
    A toolkit for messaging, concurrency and the web. High-performance
    socket messaging over in-process, IPC, TCP, WebSocket and secure TLS
    transports implements 'Scalability Protocols', a standard for common
    communications patterns including publish/subscribe, request/reply and
    survey. A threaded concurrency framework with intuitive 'aio' objects
    that resolve automatically upon completion of asynchronous operations,
    and synchronisation primitives that allow R to wait on events
    signalled by concurrent threads. A unified HTTP server hosting REST
    endpoints, WebSocket connections and streaming on a single port, with
    a built-in HTTP client.

Self-sufficient reader and writer for flat 'Parquet' files.
    Can read most 'Parquet' data types. Can write many 'R' data types,
    including factors and temporal types. See docs for limitations.
