Contains a set of functions that can be used to apply
  formats to data frames or vectors.  The package aims to provide 
  functionality similar to that of SAS® formats. Formats are assigned to
  the format attribute on data frame columns.  Then when the fdata() 
  function is called, a new data frame is created with the column data
  formatted as specified.  The package also contains a value() function
  to create a user-defined format, similar to a SAS® user-defined format.

A collection of functions inspired by Venables and Ripley (2002) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-21706-2>
             and Azzalini and Capitanio (1999) <arXiv:0911.2093> to manage, investigate and analyze
             bivariate and multivariate data sets of financial returns.

A parametrization framework for finite mixture distribution
        using S4 objects. Density, cumulative density, quantile and
        simulation functions are defined. Currently normal, Tukey g-&-h,
        skew-normal and skew-t distributions are well tested. The gamma,
        negative binomial distributions are being tested.

Implements methods for network estimation and forecasting of high-dimensional time series 
    exhibiting strong serial and cross-sectional correlations under a factor-adjusted vector autoregressive model.
    See Barigozzi, Cho and Owens (2024+) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2023.2257270> for further descriptions of FNETS methodology and 
    Owens, Cho and Barigozzi (2024+) <arXiv:2301.11675> accompanying the R package.

Cover-tree and kd-tree fast k-nearest neighbor search algorithms and related applications
        including KNN classification, regression and information measures are implemented.

Provides a collection of functions for testing various aspects of
	univariate time series including independence and neglected
	nonlinearities. Further provides functions to investigate the chaotic
	behavior of time series processes and to simulate different types of chaotic
	time series maps.

Compute inbreeding coefficients using the method of Meuwissen and Luo (1992) <doi:10.1186/1297-9686-24-4-305>, and numerator relationship coefficients between individuals using the method of Van Vleck (2007) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18050089/>.
