Data processing and visualizations for rodent vocalizations exported from
    'DeepSqueak'. These functions are compatible with the 'SqueakR' Shiny Dashboard,
    which can be used to visualize experimental results and analyses.

A simulation-based tool made to help researchers to become familiar with
    multilevel variations, and to build up sampling designs for their study. 
    This tool has two main objectives: First, it provides an educational tool useful for students, 
    teachers and researchers who want to learn to use mixed-effects models. 
    Users can experience how the mixed-effects model framework can be used to understand 
    distinct biological phenomena by interactively exploring simulated multilevel data. 
    Second, it offers research opportunities to those who are already familiar with 
    mixed-effects models, as it enables the generation of data sets that users may download 
    and use for a range of simulation-based statistical analyses such as power 
    and sensitivity analysis of multilevel and multivariate data [Allegue, H., Araya-Ajoy, Y.G., Dingemanse, 
    N.J., Dochtermann N.A., Garamszegi, L.Z., Nakagawa, S., Reale, D., Schielzeth, H. and Westneat, D.F. (2016) 
    <doi: 10.1111/2041-210X.12659>].

It is often useful to produce short, quasi-unique
    identifiers (SQUIDs) without the benefit of a central authority to
    prevent duplication. Although Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs)
    provide for this, these are also unwieldy; for example, the most used UUID,
    version 4, is 36 characters long. SQUIDs are short (8 characters) at the
    expense of having more collisions, which can be mitigated by combining them
    with human-produced suffixes, yielding relatively brief, half
    human-readable, almost-unique identifiers (see for example the identifiers
    used for Decentralized Construct Taxonomies; Peters & Crutzen,
    2024 <doi:10.15626/MP.2022.3638>). SQUIDs are the number of 
    centiseconds elapsed since the beginning of 1970 converted to a base 30
    system. This package contains functions to produce SQUIDs as well as
    convert them back into dates and times.
