A header-only C++ library is provided with support
 for dates, time zones, ISO weeks, Julian dates, and Islamic dates.
 'date' offers extensive date and time functionality for the C++11,
 C++14 and C++17 standards and was written by Howard Hinnant and released 
 under the MIT license. A slightly modified version has been accepted
 (along with 'tz.h') as part of C++20. This package regroups all
 header files from the upstream repository by Howard Hinnant so that
 other R packages can use them in their C++ code. At present, few of
 the types have explicit 'Rcpp' wrappers though these may be added as
 needed.

An efficient C++ based implementation of the 'DEoptim'
 function which performs global optimization by differential evolution.
 Its creation was motivated by trying to see if the old approximation "easier,
 shorter, faster: pick any two" could in fact be extended to achieving all
 three goals while moving the code from plain old C to modern C++.  The
 initial version did in fact do so, but a good part of the gain was due to
 an implicit code review which eliminated a few inefficiencies which have
 since been eliminated in 'DEoptim'.

The 'Rcpp' package provides a C++ library to make it easier
    to use C++ with R. R and 'Rcpp' provide functions for a variety of
    statistical distributions. Several R packages make functions
    available to R for additional statistical distributions. However,
    to access these functions from C++ code, a costly call to the R
    functions must be made. 'RcppDist' provides a header-only C++ library
    with functions for additional statistical distributions that can be
    called from C++ when writing code using 'Rcpp' or 'RcppArmadillo'.
    Functions are available that return a 'NumericVector' as well as
    doubles, and for multivariate or matrix distributions, 'Armadillo'
    vectors and matrices. 'RcppDist' provides functions for the following
    distributions: the four parameter beta distribution; the location-
    scale t distribution; the truncated normal distribution; the
    truncated t distribution; a truncated location-scale t distribution;
    the triangle distribution; the multivariate normal distribution*;
    the multivariate t distribution*; the Wishart distribution*; and
    the inverse Wishart distribution*. Distributions marked with an
    asterisk rely on 'RcppArmadillo'.
