Provides functions for normalizing standard laboratory measurements (e.g. hemoglobin, cholesterol levels) according to age and sex, based on the algorithms described in "Personalized lab test models to quantify disease potentials in healthy individuals" (Netta Mendelson Cohen, Omer Schwartzman, Ram Jaschek, Aviezer Lifshitz, Michael Hoichman, Ran Balicer, Liran I. Shlush, Gabi Barbash & Amos Tanay, <doi:10.1038/s41591-021-01468-6>). Allows users to easily obtain normalized values for standard lab results, and to visualize their distributions.

Produces Labour Market Areas from commuting flows available at elementary territorial units. It provides tools for automatic tuning based on spatial contiguity. It also allows for statistical analyses and visualisation of the new functional geography.

Allows the user to map multilingual free-text of occupations to a broad range
    of standardized classifications. The package facilitates automatic occupation coding
    (see, e.g., Gweon et al. (2017) <doi:10.1515/jos-2017-0006> and Turrell et al. (2019)
    <doi:10.3386/w25837>), where the ISCO to ESCO mapping is exploited to extend the
    occupations hierarchy, Le Vrang et al. (2014) <doi:10.1109/mc.2014.283>. Document
    vectorization is performed using the multilingual ESCO corpus. A method based on the 
    nearest neighbor search is used to suggest the closest ISCO occupation.

Simplex optimization algorithms as firstly proposed by Spendley
    et al. (1962) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1962.10490033> and later modified by 
    Nelder and Mead (1965) <doi:10.1093/comjnl/7.4.308> for laboratory and 
    manufacturing processes. The package also provides tools for graphical 
    representation of the simplexes and some example response surfaces that 
    are useful in illustrating the optimization process.
