Datasets and definitions of generic functions used in dependencies of the 'xergm' package.

Read and write XES Files to create event log objects used by the 'bupaR' framework. XES (Extensible Event Stream) is the `IEEE` standard for storing and sharing event data (see <http://standards.ieee.org/findstds/standard/1849-2016.html> for more info).

Miscellaneous functions commonly used in other packages maintained by 'Yihui Xie'.

This tool enables in-database scoring of 'XGBoost' models built in R, by translating trained model objects into SQL query. 
  'XGBoost' <https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost> provides parallel tree boosting (also known as gradient boosting machine, or GBM) algorithms
  in a highly efficient, flexible and portable way. GBM algorithm is introduced by Friedman (2001) <doi:10.1214/aos/1013203451>, 
  and more details on 'XGBoost' can be found in Chen & Guestrin (2016) <doi:10.1145/2939672.2939785>.

Extreme Gradient Boosting, which is an efficient implementation
    of the gradient boosting framework from Chen & Guestrin (2016) <doi:10.1145/2939672.2939785>.
    This package is its R interface. The package includes efficient linear
    model solver and tree learning algorithms. The package can automatically
    do parallel computation on a single machine which could be more than 10
    times faster than existing gradient boosting packages. It supports
    various objective functions, including regression, classification and ranking.
    The package is made to be extensible, so that users are also allowed to define
    their own objectives easily.

Compute surrogate explanation groves for predictive machine learning models and analyze complexity vs. explanatory power of an explanation according to Szepannek, G. and von Holt, B. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s41237-023-00205-2>.

Supports a structured approach
    for exploring PKPD data <https://opensource.nibr.com/xgx/>. It also
    contains helper functions for enabling the modeler to follow best R
    practices (by appending the program name, figure name location, and
    draft status to each plot). In addition, it enables the modeler to
    follow best graphical practices (by providing a theme that
    reduces chart ink, and by providing time-scale, log-scale, and
    reverse-log-transform-scale functions for more readable axes).
    Finally, it provides some data checking and summarizing functions for
    rapidly exploring pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) datasets.
