Basic functions for plotting 2D and 3D views of a sphere, by default the Earth with its major coastline, and additional lines and points.

Generalized LassO applied to knot selection in multivariate B-splinE Regression (GLOBER) implements a novel approach for estimating functions in a multivariate nonparametric regression model based on an adaptive knot selection for B-splines using the Generalized Lasso. For further details we refer the reader to the paper Savino, M. E. and Lévy-Leduc, C. (2023), <arXiv:2306.00686>.

Provides tools to access, search, and download global 
    3D building footprint datasets (3D-GloBFP) generated by 
    Che et al. (2024) <doi:10.5194/essd-16-5357-2024>. 
    The package includes functions to retrieve metadata, filter by bounding box, 
    and download building height tiles.

A fast and flexible general-purpose implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) for solving global minimization problems is provided. It is designed to handle complex optimization tasks with nonlinear, non-differentiable, and multi-modal objective functions defined by users. There are five types of PSO variants: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO, Eberhart & Kennedy, 1995) <doi:10.1109/MHS.1995.494215>, Quantum-behaved particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO, Sun et al., 2004) <doi:10.1109/CEC.2004.1330875>, Locally convergent rotationally invariant particle swarm optimization (LcRiPSO, Bonyadi & Michalewicz, 2014) <doi:10.1007/s11721-014-0095-1>, Competitive Swarm Optimizer (CSO, Cheng & Jin, 2015) <doi:10.1109/TCYB.2014.2322602> and Double exponential particle swarm optimization (DExPSO, Stehlik et al., 2024) <doi:10.1016/j.asoc.2024.111913>. For the DE algorithm, six types in Storn, R. & Price, K. (1997) <doi:10.1023/A:1008202821328> are included: DE/rand/1, DE/rand/2, DE/best/1, DE/best/2, DE/rand_to-best/1 and DE/rand_to-best/2.

Tools for the generalized logistic distribution (Type I,
             also known as skew-logistic distribution), encompassing
	     basic distribution functions (p, q, d, r, score), maximum
	     likelihood estimation, and structural change methods.
