Many useful functions and extensions for dealing with
    meteorological data in the tidy data framework. Extends 'ggplot2' for
    better plotting of scalar and vector fields and provides commonly used
    analysis methods in the atmospheric sciences.

A compilation of more than 80 functions designed to quantitatively and visually evaluate prediction performance of regression (continuous variables) and classification (categorical variables) of point-forecast models (e.g. APSIM, DSSAT, DNDC, supervised Machine Learning). For regression, it includes functions to generate plots (scatter, tiles, density, & Bland-Altman plot), and to estimate error metrics (e.g. MBE, MAE, RMSE), error decomposition (e.g. lack of accuracy-precision), model efficiency (e.g. NSE, E1, KGE), indices of agreement (e.g. d, RAC), goodness of fit (e.g. r, R2), adjusted correlation coefficients (e.g. CCC, dcorr), symmetric regression coefficients (intercept, slope), and mean absolute scaled error (MASE) for time series predictions. For classification (binomial and multinomial), it offers functions to generate and plot confusion matrices, and to estimate performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, F-score, Cohen's Kappa, G-mean, and many more.

Facilitates creation and manipulation of metric graphs, such as street or river networks. Further facilitates operations and visualizations of data on metric graphs, and the creation of a large class of random fields and stochastic partial differential equations on such spaces. These random fields can be used for simulation, prediction and inference. In particular, linear mixed effects models including random field components can be fitted to data based on computationally efficient sparse matrix representations. Interfaces to the R packages 'INLA' and 'inlabru' are also provided, which facilitate working with Bayesian statistical models on metric graphs.
