Simulates categorical maps on actual geographical realms, starting from either empty landscapes or landscapes provided by the user (e.g. land use maps). Allows to tweak or create landscapes while retaining a high degree of control on its features, without the hassle of specifying each location attribute. In this it differs from other tools which generate null or neutral landscapes in a theoretical space. The basic algorithm currently implemented uses a simple agent style/cellular automata growth model, with no rules (apart from areas of exclusion) and von Neumann neighbourhood (four cells, aka Rook case). Outputs are raster dataset exportable to any common GIS format.

A stochastic, spatially-explicit, demo-genetic model simulating the spread and evolution 
    of a plant pathogen in a heterogeneous landscape to assess resistance deployment strategies. 
    It is based on a spatial geometry for describing the landscape and allocation of different cultivars, 
    a dispersal kernel for the dissemination of the pathogen, and a SEIR 
    ('Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed’) structure with a discrete time step.
    It provides a useful tool to assess the performance of a wide range of deployment options with 
    respect to their epidemiological, evolutionary and economic outcomes.

    the translated help will appear in the help pane.

Estimate drift and diffusion functions from time series and
    generate synthetic time series from given drift and diffusion coefficients.

An HTML widget that randomly tours 2D projections of numerical data. A random walk through projections of the data is shown. The user can manipulate the plot to use specified axes, or turn on Guided Tour mode to find an informative projection of the data. Groups within the data can be hidden or shown, as can particular axes. Points can be brushed, and the selection can be linked to other widgets using crosstalk. The underlying method to produce the random walk and projection pursuit uses Langevin dynamics. The widget can be used from within R, or included in a self-contained R Markdown or Quarto document or presentation, or used in a Shiny app.
