Easy and convenient access to the datasets of the
  "Centre d'Estudis d'Opinio", the Catalan institution for polling and public
  opinion. The package retrieves microdata directly from the open data platform
  of the Generalitat de Catalunya and returns it in a tidy format.

Optimization solver based on the Cross-Entropy method.

It aims to find significant pathways through 
    network topology information. It has several advantages compared 
    with current pathway enrichment tools. First, pathway node instead 
    of single gene is taken as the basic unit when analysing networks 
    to meet the fact that genes must be constructed into complexes to 
    hold normal functions. Second, multiple network centrality measures are 
    applied simultaneously to measure importance of nodes from different 
    aspects to make a full view on the biological system. CePa extends 
    standard pathway enrichment methods, which include both over-representation 
    analysis procedure and gene-set analysis procedure.

        Provides a reproducible interface to access the 'CEPALSTAT API', organize data into tidy formats, and generate both static and interactive visualizations.

Provides data on countries and their main city or agglomeration and
    the different distance measures and dummy variables indicating whether two
    countries are contiguous, share a common language or a colonial
    relationship. The reference article for these datasets is Mayer and Zignago
    (2011) <http://www.cepii.fr/CEPII/en/publications/wp/abstract.asp?NoDoc=3877>.

Provides a simple algorithm to generate a continuous epidemiological week index from date variables in a dataframe. Weeks are computed as sequential 7-day intervals starting from the earliest observed date. They do not reset at calendar year boundaries and are not ISO 8601 nor MMWR calendar weeks. The approach is intended for epidemiological modeling and time-series analysis where temporal continuity is required. The generated weeks are sequential and do not reset at calendar year boundaries.
