Exact and Asymptotic Weighted Logrank Tests for Interval Censored Data: The interval R Package
For right-censored data perhaps the most commonly used tests are weighted logrank tests, such as the logrank and Wilcoxon-type tests. In this paper we review several generalizations of those weighted logrank tests to interval-censored data and present an R package, interval, to implement many of them. The interval package depends on the perm package, also presented here, which performs exact and asymptotic linear permutation tests. The perm package performs many of the tests included in the already available coin package, and provides an independent validation of coin. We review analysis methods for interval-censored data, and we describe and show how to use the interval and perm packages.

ranger: A Fast Implementation of Random Forests for High Dimensional Data in C++ and R
We introduce the C++ application and R package ranger. The software is a fast
implementation of random forests for high dimensional data. Ensembles of
classification, regression and survival trees are supported. We describe the
implementation, provide examples, validate the package with a reference
implementation, and compare runtime and memory usage with other
implementations. The new software proves to scale best with the number of
features, samples, trees, and features tried for splitting. Finally, we show
that ranger is the fastest and most memory efficient implementation of random
forests to analyze data on the scale of a genome-wide association study
