Provides utility functions for, and drawing on, the 'data.table' package. The package also collates useful miscellaneous functions extending base R not available elsewhere. The name is a portmanteau of 'utils' and the author.

Provides utility functions that are simply, frequently used, 
    but may require higher performance that what can be obtained from base R.
    Incidentally provides support for 'reverse geocoding', such as matching a point
    with its nearest neighbour in another array. Used as a complement to package
    'hutils' by sacrificing compilation or installation time for higher running 
    speeds. The name is a portmanteau of the author and 'Rcpp'.

Creates styled tables for data presentation. Export to HTML, LaTeX,
  RTF, 'Word', 'Excel', and 'PowerPoint'. Simple, modern interface to manipulate 
  borders, size, position, captions, colours, text styles and number formatting.
  Table cells can span multiple rows and/or columns.
  Includes  a 'huxreg' function for creation of regression tables, and 'quick_*' 
  one-liners to print data to a new document.

Facilitates building topology preserving maps for data analysis.

Fits models for genotypic disequilibria, as described in
  Huttley and Wilson (2000) <doi:10.1093/genetics/156.4.2127>, Weir (1996) and Weir and Wilson (1986).
  Contrast terms are available that account for first order interactions
  between loci.  Also implements, for a single locus in a single
  population, a conditional exact test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

General (multi-allelic) Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium problem from an objective Bayesian testing standpoint. This aim is achieved through the identification of a class of priors specifically designed for this testing problem. A class of intrinsic priors under the full model is considered. This class is indexed by a tuning quantity, the training sample size, as discussed in Consonni, Moreno and Venturini (2010). These priors are objective, satisfy Savage's continuity condition and have proved to behave extremely well for many statistical testing problems.
