Functions to manipulate dates and count days for quantitative finance analysis. The 'quantdates' package considers leap, holidays and business days for relevant calendars in a financial context to simplify quantitative finance calculations, consistent with International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) (2006) <https://www.isda.org/book/2006-isda-definitions/> regulations.

An implementation of dimension reduction techniques
    for conditional quantiles. Nonparametric estimation of 
    conditional quantiles is also available.

A fast, flexible, and comprehensive framework for 
    quantitative text analysis in R.  Provides functionality for corpus management,
    creating and manipulating tokens and n-grams, exploring keywords in context, 
    forming and manipulating sparse matrices
    of documents by features and feature co-occurrences, analyzing keywords, computing feature similarities and
    distances, applying content dictionaries, applying supervised and unsupervised machine learning, 
    visually representing text and text analyses, and more.

Scaling models and classifiers for sparse matrix objects representing 
    textual data in the form of a document-feature matrix.  Includes original 
    implementations of 'Laver', 'Benoit', and Garry's (2003) <doi:10.1017/S0003055403000698>,
    'Wordscores' model, the Perry and 'Benoit' (2017) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1710.08963> class affinity scaling model, 
    and the 'Slapin' and 'Proksch' (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.1540-5907.2008.00338.x> 'wordfish'
    model, as well as methods for correspondence analysis, latent semantic analysis,
    and fast Naive Bayes and linear 'SVMs' specially designed for sparse textual data.

Plotting functions for visualising textual data.  Extends 'quanteda' and 
   related packages with plot methods designed specifically for text data, textual statistics, 
   and models fit to textual data. Plot types include word clouds, lexical dispersion plots, 
   scaling plots, network visualisations, and word 'keyness' plots.
