Calculation of molecular number and brightness from
    fluorescence microscopy image series. The software was published in a
    2016 paper <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx434>. The seminal paper for
    the technique is Digman et al. 2008 <doi:10.1529/biophysj.107.114645>.
    A review of the technique was published in 2017
    <doi:10.1016/j.ymeth.2017.12.001>.

Missing values are ubiquitous in data and need to be explored and
    handled in the initial stages of analysis. 'naniar' provides data 
    structures and functions that facilitate the plotting of missing values and 
    examination of imputations. This allows missing data dependencies to be 
    explored with minimal deviation from the common work patterns of 'ggplot2' 
    and tidy data. The work is fully discussed at Tierney & Cook (2023) 
    <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i07>.

Provides an 'R' interface to the 'nanoarrow' 'C' library and the
  'Apache Arrow' application binary interface. Functions to import and
  export 'ArrowArray', 'ArrowSchema', and 'ArrowArrayStream' 'C' structures
  to and from 'R' objects are provided alongside helpers to facilitate zero-copy
  data transfer among 'R' bindings to libraries implementing the 'Arrow' 'C'
  data interface.

R binding for NNG (Nanomsg Next Gen), a successor to ZeroMQ.
    NNG is a socket library for reliable, high-performance messaging over
    in-process, IPC, TCP, WebSocket and secure TLS transports. Implements
    'Scalability Protocols', a standard for common communications patterns
    including publish/subscribe, request/reply and service discovery. As
    its own threaded concurrency framework, provides a toolkit for
    asynchronous programming and distributed computing. Intuitive 'aio'
    objects resolve automatically when asynchronous operations complete,
    and synchronisation primitives allow R to wait upon events signalled
    by concurrent threads.

Self-sufficient reader and writer for flat 'Parquet' files.
    Can read most 'Parquet' data types. Can write many 'R' data types,
    including factors and temporal types. See docs for limitations.
