Abstract
Simple features are a standardized way of encoding spatial vector data (points, lines, polygons) in computers.The sf package implements simple features in R, and has roughly the same capacity for spatial vector data as packages sp, rgeos, and rgdal.We describe the need for this package, its place in the R package ecosystem, and its potential to connect R to other computer systems.We illustrate this with examples of its use.

We present a unified view for online classification, regression, and uniclass problems. This view leads to a single algorithmic framework for the three problems. We prove worst ...

We study the rates of growth of the regret in online convex optimization. First, we show that a simple extension of the algorithm of Hazan et al eliminates the need for a priori...
