Contains a function to categorize accelerometer readings collected in free-living (e.g., for 24 hours/day for 7 days), preprocessed and compressed as counts (unit-less value) in a specified time period termed epoch (e.g., 1 minute) as either bedrest (sleep) or active.  The input is a matrix with a timestamp column and a column with number of counts per epoch. The output is the same dataframe with an additional column termed bedrest. In the bedrest column each line (epoch) contains a function-generated classification 'br' or 'a' denoting bedrest/sleep and activity, respectively.  The package is designed to be used after wear/nonwear marking function in the 'PhysicalActivity' package.  Version 1.1 adds preschool thresholds and corrects for possible errors in algorithm implementation.

It provides a function "wearingMarking" for classification of monitor
    wear and nonwear time intervals in accelerometer data collected to assess
    physical activity. The package also contains functions for making plot for 
    accelerometer data and obtaining the summary of various information including 
    daily monitor wear time and the mean monitor wear time during valid days.      
    "deliveryPred" and "markDelivery" can classify days for ActiGraph delivery by mail;
    "deliveryPreprocess" can process accelerometry data for analysis by zeropadding incomplete 
    days and removing low activity days; "markPAI" can categorize physical activity
    intensity level based on user-defined cut-points of accelerometer counts. It also
    supports importing ActiGraph AGD files with "readActigraph" and "queryActigraph" functions.

Screens and sorts phylogenetic trees in both traditional and
    extended Newick format. Allows for the fast and flexible screening (within
    a tree) of Exclusive clades that comprise only the target taxa and/or Non-
    Exclusive clades that includes a defined portion of non-target taxa.

Determine the chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations of different 
    phytoplankton groups based on their pigment biomarkers. The method uses
    non-negative matrix factorisation and simulated annealing to minimise error
    between the observed and estimated values of pigment concentrations
    (Hayward et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/lom3.10541>).
    The approach is similar to the widely used 'CHEMTAX' program
    (Mackey et al. 1996) <doi:10.3354/meps144265>, but is more straightforward,
    accurate, and not reliant on initial guesses for the pigment to Chl a
    ratios for phytoplankton groups.
