Forms queries to submit to the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank web
    site's financial stress index data site.  Provides query functions for both
    the composite stress index and the components data. By default the download
    includes daily time series data starting September 25, 1991.  The functions
    return a class of either type easing or cfsi which contain a list of items
    related to the query and its graphical presentation.  The list includes the
    time series data as an xts object.  The package provides four lattice time
    series plots to render the time series data in a manner similar to the
    bank's own presentation.

Reliability of (normal) stress-strength models and for building two-sided or one-sided confidence intervals according to different approximate procedures.

There are some things that I wish were easier with the
    'stringr' or 'stringi' packages. The foremost of these is the
    extraction of numbers from strings. 'stringr' and 'stringi' make you
    figure out the regular expression for yourself; 'strex' takes care of
    this for you. There are many other handy functionalities in 'strex'.
    Contributions to this package are encouraged; it is intended as a
    miscellany of string manipulation functions that cannot be found in
    'stringi' or 'stringr'.

Takes a list of character strings and forms an adjacency matrix for
    the times the specified characters appear together in the strings provided. For
    use in social network analysis and data wrangling. Simple package, comprised of
    three functions.

Extract glyph information from font data, and translate the
    outline curves to flattened paths or tessellated polygons. The converted
    data is returned as a 'data.frame' in easy-to-plot format.

Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native
    'match' function. Also offers fuzzy text search based on various string
     distance measures. Can calculate various string distances based on edits
    (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q-
    gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An
    implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between
    character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer
    vectors representing generic sequences. This package is built for speed and
    runs in parallel by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well.
