expandDF Functions to manipulate data frames
first Convenience functions to return the last/first element of a vector
fpart Obtain the fractional part of a numeric

readdir Loads all readable files in a directory into a list, with names according to the filenames
remove.factors Converts all factors in a data.frame to character.
rep_along Repeat a vector until it matches the length of another vector
reshapeasy reshapeasy: Easier reshaping from "wide" to "long" and back again
