There is a large number of data archives and web services offering free access to multispectral satellite imagery. Images from multiple sources are increasingly combined to improve the spatio-temporal coverage of measurements while achieving more accurate results. Archives and web services differ in their protocols, formats, and data standards, which are barriers to combine datasets. Here, we present RGISTools, an R package to create time-series of multispectral satellite images from multiple platforms in a harmonized and standardized way. We first provide an overview of the package functionalities, namely downloading, customizing, and processing multispectral satellite imagery for a region and time period of interest as well as a recent statistical method for gap-filling and smoothing series of images, called interpolation of the mean anomalies. We further show the capabilities of the package through a case study that combines Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellite optical imagery to estimate the level of a water reservoir in Northern Spain. We expect RGISTools to foster research on data fusion and spatio-temporal modelling using satellite images from multiple programs.

The R package quantreg.nonpar implements nonparametric quantile regression methods to estimate and make inference on partially linear quantile models. quantreg.nonpar obtains point estimates of the conditional quantile function and its derivatives ba sed on series approximations to the nonparametric part of the model. It also provides pointwise and uniform confidence intervals over a region of covariate values and/or quantile indices for the same functions using analytical and resampling methods. This paper serves as an introduction to the package and displays basic functionality of the functions contained within.
We introduce the UPG package for highly efficient Bayesian inference in probit, logit, multinomial logit and binomial logit models. UPG offers a convenient estimation framework for balanced and imbalanced data settings where sampling efficiency is en sured through Markov chain Monte Carlo boosting methods. All sampling algorithms are implemented in C++, allowing for rapid parameter estimation. In addition, UPG provides several methods for fast production of output tables and summary plots that are easily accessible to a broad range of users.
Process data refer to data recorded in the log files of computer-based items. These data, represented as timestamped action sequences, keep track of respondents response processes of solving the items. Process data analysis aims at enhancing educatio nal assessment accuracy and serving other assessment purposes by utilizing the rich information contained in response processes. The R package ProcData presented in this article is designed to provide tools for processing, describing, and analyzing process data. We define an S3 class proc for organizing process data and extend generic methods summary and print for class proc. Two feature extraction methods for process data are implemented in the package for compressing information in the irregular response processes into regular numeric vectors. ProcData also provides functions for fitting and making predictions from a neural-network-based sequence model. These functions call relevant functions in package keras for constructing and training neural networks. In addition, several response process generators and a real dataset of response processes of the climate control item in the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment are included in the package.
Over the last few decades, deforestation and climate change have caused increasing number of forest fires. In Southeast Asia, Indonesia has been the most affected country by tropical peatland forest fires. These fires have a significant impact on the climate resulting in extensive health, social and economic issues. Existing forest fire prediction systems, such as the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System, are based on handcrafted features and require installation and maintenance of expensive instruments on the ground, which can be a challenge for developing countries such as Indonesia. We propose a novel, cost-effective, machine-learning based approach that uses remote sensing data to predict forest fires in Indonesia. Our prediction model achieves more than 0.81 area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve, performing significantly better than the baseline approach which never exceeds 0.70 area under ROC curve on the same tasks. Our models performance remained above 0.81 area under ROC curve even when evaluated with reduced data. The results support our claim that machine-learning based approaches can lead to reliable and cost-effective forest fire prediction systems.
We present fplyr, a new package for the R language to deal with big files. It allows users to easily implement the split-apply-combine strategy for files that are too big to fit into the available memory, without relying on data bases nor introducing non-native R classes. A custom function can be applied independently to each group of observations, and the results may be either returned or directly printed to one or more output files.
