The 'support' package provides the function `sp()` for generating the support points proposed in Mak and Joseph (2017) <arXiv:1609.01811>. Support points are representative points of a possibly non-uniform distribution, and can be used as optimal sampling or integration points for a distribution of choice. The provided function `sp()` can be used to generate support points for standard distributions or for reducing big data (e.g., from Markov-chain Monte Carlo methods). This work was supported by USARO grant W911NF-14-1-0024 and NSF DMS grant 1712642.
