Fits gastric emptying time series from MRI or 'scintigraphic' measurements
   using nonlinear mixed-model population fits with 'nlme' and Bayesian methods with 
   Stan; computes derived parameters such as t50 and AUC.

Manipulation of genetic data (SNPs). Computation of GRM and dominance matrix, LD, heritability with efficient algorithms for linear mixed model (AIREML). Dandine et al <doi:10.1159/000488519>.

Allows user to choose/gate a region on the plot and returns points
    within it.

Estimates statistically significant marker combination values within
        which one immunologically distinctive group (i.e., disease case) is more associated than
        another group (i.e., healthy control), successively, using various combinations (i.e.,
        "gates") of markers to examine features of cells that may be different between
        groups. For a two-group comparison, the 'gateR' package uses the spatial relative risk
        function estimated using the 'sparr' package. Details about the 'sparr' package
        methods can be found in the tutorial: Davies et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7577>. Details
        about kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1990) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780090616>.
        More information about relative risk functions using kernel density estimation can be

Streamlines downloading and cleaning biodiversity data from Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Fits a Gaussian process model to data. Gaussian processes
 are commonly used in computer experiments to fit an interpolating model.
 The model is stored as an 'R6' object and can be easily updated with new 
 data. There are options to run in parallel, and 'Rcpp'
 has been used to speed up calculations.
 For more info about Gaussian process software, see Erickson et al. (2018)

A collection of tools and data for analyzing the Gause microcosm experiments, and for fitting Lotka-Volterra models to time series data. Includes methods for fitting single-species logistic growth, and multi-species interaction models, e.g. of competition, predator/prey relationships, or mutualism. See documentation for individual functions for examples. In general, see the lv_optim() function for examples of how to fit parameter values in multi-species systems. Note that the general methods applied here, as well as the form of the differential equations that we use, are described in detail in the Quantitative Ecology textbook by Lehman et al., available at <http://hdl.handle.net/11299/204551>, and in Lina K.
