This package makes available 50 objective functions for benchmarking the performance of global optimization algorithms

Identifies global ("unknown" or "free") objects in R expressions
    by code inspection using various strategies (ordered, liberal, or
    conservative).  The objective of this package is to make it as simple as
    possible to identify global objects for the purpose of exporting them in
    parallel, distributed compute environments.

Google offers public access to global search volumes from its
    search engine through the Google Trends portal. The package downloads
    these search volumes provided by Google Trends and uses them to
    measure and analyze the distribution of search scores across countries
    or within countries. The package allows researchers and analysts to
    use these search scores to investigate global trends based on patterns
    within these scores. This offers insights such as degree of
    internationalization of firms and organizations or dissemination of
    political, social, or technological trends across the globe or within
    single countries.  An outline of the package's methodological
    foundations and potential applications is available as a working
    paper: <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3969013>.

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>.

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.
