Creating, and refining data nuggets. 
    Data nuggets reduce a large dataset into a small collection of nuggets of 
    data, each containing a center (location), weight (importance), and scale 
    (variability) parameter. Data nugget centers are created by choosing 
    observations in the dataset which are as equally spaced apart as possible. 
    Data nugget weights are created by counting the number observations 
    closest to a given data nugget center. We then say the data nugget 
    'contains' these observations and the data nugget center is recalculated 
    as the mean of these observations. Data nugget scales are created by 
    calculating the trace of the covariance matrix of the observations 
    contained within a data nugget divided by the dimension of the dataset. 
    Data nuggets are refined by 'splitting' data nuggets which have scales or 
    shapes (defined as the ratio of the two largest eigenvalues of the 
    covariance matrix of the observations contained within the data nugget)

Post Global Financial Crisis derivatives reforms have lifted
    the veil off over-the-counter (OTC) derivative markets. Swap Execution
    Facilities (SEFs) and Swap Data Repositories (SDRs) now publish data
    on swaps that are traded on or reported to those facilities
    (respectively). This package provides you the ability to get this data
    from supported sources.

Provides read and write access to data and metadata from
    the DataONE network <https://www.dataone.org> of data repositories.  
    Each DataONE repository implements a consistent repository application 
    programming interface. Users call methods in R to access these remote 
    repository functions, such as methods to query the metadata catalog, get 
    access to metadata for particular data packages, and read the data objects 
    from the data repository. Users can also insert and update data objects on 
    repositories that support these methods.
