Allows distance based spatial clustering of georeferenced data by implementing the City Clustering Algorithm - CCA. Multiple versions allow clustering for a matrix, raster and single coordinates on a plain (Euclidean distance) or on a sphere (great-circle or orthodromic distance).

Optimal Subset Cardinality Regression (OSCAR) models offer
    regularized linear regression using the L0-pseudonorm, conventionally
    known as the number of non-zero coefficients. The package estimates an
    optimal subset of features using the L0-penalization via
    cross-validation, bootstrapping and visual diagnostics. Effective
    Fortran implementations are offered along the package for finding
    optima for the DC-decomposition, which is used for transforming the
    discrete L0-regularized optimization problem into a continuous
    non-convex optimization task. These optimization modules include DBDC
    ('Double Bundle method for nonsmooth DC optimization' as described in
    Joki et al. (2018) <doi:10.1137/16M1115733>) and LMBM ('Limited
    Memory Bundle Method for large-scale nonsmooth optimization' as
    in Haarala et al. (2004) <doi:10.1080/10556780410001689225>). The
    OSCAR models are comprehensively exemplified in Halkola et al. (2023) 
    <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010333>). Multiple regression model families
    are supported: Cox, logistic, and Gaussian.

The supplied code allows for the generation of discrete time series of oscillating species. General shapes can be selected by means of individual functions, which are widely customizable by means of function arguments. All code was developed in the Biological Information Processing Group at the BioQuant Center at Heidelberg University, Germany.
