Functions to explore datasets from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF - <https://www.gbif.org/>) using a Shiny interface.

Tools implementing an automated version of the graphic double integration technique (GDI) for volume implementation, and some other related utilities for paleontological image-analysis. GDI was first employed by Jerison (1973) <ISBN:9780323141086> and Hurlburt (1999) <doi:10.1080/02724634.1999.10011145> and is primarily used for volume or mass estimation of (extinct) animals. The package 'gdi' aims to make this technique as convenient and versatile as possible. The core functions of 'gdi' provide utilities for automatically measuring diameters from digital silhouettes provided as image files and calculating volume via graphic double integration with simple elliptical, superelliptical (following Motani 2001 <doi:10.1666/0094-8373(2001)027%3C0735:EBMFST%3E2.0.CO;2>) or complex cross-sectional geometries (see also Zhao 2024 <doi:10.7717/peerj.17479>). Additionally, the package provides functions for estimating the center of mass position (COM), the moment of inertia (I) for 3D shapes and the second moment of area (Ix, Iy, Iz) of 2D cross-sections, as well as for the visualization of results.

Functions for performing graphical difference testing.     
             Differences are generated between raster images.
             Comparisons can be performed between different package
             versions and between different R versions.

Provides tools for simulating from spatial modeling of individual level  of infectious disease transmission when co-variates measured with error, and carrying out infectious disease data analyses with the same models. The epidemic models considered are distance-based model within Susceptible-Infectious-Removed (SIR) compartmental frameworks.

Model and estimate the model parameters 
            for the spatial model of individual-level infectious disease 
            transmission in Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) framework.
