Provides sampling and density functions for matrix
    variate normal, t, and inverted t distributions;  ML estimation for matrix
    variate normal and t distributions using the EM algorithm,
    including some restrictions on the parameters; and classification by linear and
    quadratic discriminant analysis for matrix variate normal and t
    distributions described in Thompson et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2019.1696208>.
    Performs clustering with matrix variate normal and t mixture models.

A collection of functions to perform various meta-analytical models
  through a unified mixed-effects framework, including standard univariate
  fixed and random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression, and non-standard
  extensions such as multivariate, multilevel, longitudinal, and dose-response
  models.

A facility to generate various classes of fractional designs for order-of-addition experiments namely fractional order-of-additions orthogonal arrays, see Voelkel, Joseph G. (2019). "The design of order-of-addition experiments." Journal of Quality Technology 51:3, 230-241, <doi:10.1080/00224065.2019.1569958>. Provides facility to construct component orthogonal arrays, see Jian-Feng Yang, Fasheng Sun and Hongquan Xu (2020). "A Component Position Model, Analysis and Design for Order-of-Addition Experiments." Technometrics, <doi:10.1080/00401706.2020.1764394>. Supports generation of fractional designs for order-of-addition mixture experiments. Analysis of data from order-of-addition mixture experiments is also supported.

Mixed variable optimization for non-linear functions.
    Can optimize function whose inputs are a combination of continuous,
    ordered, and unordered variables.

Simple tools to perform mixture optimization based on the 'desirability' package by Max Kuhn.
    It also provides a plot routine using 'ggplot2' and 'patchwork'.

Fits multiple variable mixtures of various parametric proportional hazard models using the EM-Algorithm. Proportionality restrictions can be imposed on the latent groups and/or on the variables. Several survival distributions can be specified. Missing values and censored values are allowed. Independence is assumed over the single variables.
