Provides a large number of functions from numerical analysis and
    linear algebra, numerical optimization, differential equations,
    time series, plus some well-known special mathematical functions.
    Uses 'MATLAB' function names where appropriate to simplify porting.

Low-level utilities to retrieve data from the UCSC Genome
Browser

A set of low-level utilities to retrieve data from the UCSC
	Genome Browser. Most functions in the package access the data via
	the UCSC REST API but some of them query the UCSC MySQL server
	directly. Note that the primary purpose of the package is to support
	higher-level functionalities implemented in downstream packages
	like GenomeInfoDb or txdbmaker.

Pretty Scientific Plotting with Minor-Tick and Log Minor-Tick
Support

Functions to make useful (and pretty) plots for scientific plotting. Additional plotting features are added for base plotting, with particular emphasis on making attractive log axis plots.

Co-Operation: Fast Covariance, Correlation, and Cosine
Similarity Operations

Fast implementations of the co-operations: covariance,
    correlation, and cosine similarity.  The implementations are
    fast and memory-efficient and their use is resolved
    automatically based on the input data, handled by R's S3
    methods.  Full descriptions of the algorithms and benchmarks
    are available in the package vignettes.
