collapse is a C/C++ based package for data transformation and statistical computing in R. Its aims are:

  • To facilitate complex data transformation, exploration and computing tasks in R.

  • To help make R code fast, flexible, parsimonious and programmer friendly.

It is made compatible with the tidyverse, data.table, sf and the plm approach to panel data, and non-destructively handles other classes such as xts.

Getting Started

Read the short vignette on documentation resources, and check out the built in documentation.

Details

collapse provides an integrated suite of statistical and data manipulation functions that greatly extend and enhance the capabilities of base R. In a nutshell, collapse provides:

  • Fast C/C++ based (grouped, weighted) computations embedded in highly optimized R code.

  • More complex statistical, time series / panel data and recursive (list-processing) operations.

  • A flexible and generic approach supporting and preserving many R objects.

  • Optimized programming in standard and non-standard evaluation.

The statistical functions in collapse are S3 generic with core methods for vectors, matrices and data frames, and internally support grouped and weighted computations carried out in C/C++.

Additional methods and C-level features enable broad based compatibility with dplyr (grouped tibble), data.table, sf and plm panel data classes. Functions and core methods seek to preserve object attributes (including column attributes such as variable labels), ensuring flexibility and effective workflows with a very broad range of R objects (including most time-series classes). See also the vignette on collapse's handling of R objects.

Missing values are efficiently skipped at C/C++ level. The package default is na.rm = TRUE. This can be changed using set_collapse(na.rm = FALSE). Missing weights are generally supported.

collapse installs with a built-in hierarchical documentation facilitating the use of the package.

The package is coded both in C and C++ and built with Rcpp, but also uses C/C++ functions from data.table, kit, fixest, weights, stats and RcppArmadillo / RcppEigen.
